Yeah, what kind of person were you then and what dreams or ambitions were shaping your life?

Oh, you know, your question brings goosebumps.

Although I heard some of your other podcasts and I know that it is a question, but somehow when I'm coming into connecting with my 20-year-old self, I'm so full of appreciation for who she is.

A really courageous person, full of dreams and ideas of how the world can be.

Very passionate.

And in my 20s, I wanted to do things that no one...

Not many people in my environment have done.

And speaking of habits, um what do you think are like daily practices that we as young adults need to you know live a much more mindful healthier and you know just basically happier life

I am trying to understand that how does this speak to you through different cultures since you have traveled extensively and worked in different geographies.

Thank you for that question.

I think that there may be different layers on how I could answer it, but I'll try to be as brief and as to the point as I can.

So while living in Asia, And the concept of mindfulness was very, very familiar, because there is a lot of presence of the Buddhist cult, Buddhism, and it comes, the roots of mindfulness are in Buddhism.

So while working in China, in a way, the obstacle was, are you bringing the religion in? And really wanting the secular aspect of that.

And soon I learned that actually mentioning the word mindfulness was not so important.

what people really want is to feel better.

So staying at that point, how does the first chapter of mindfulness look like?
