About this episode
This week we talk to Timber Hawkeye Timber Hawkeye is the author of the very popular book Buddhist Boot Camp. He offers a non-sectarian approach to being at peace with the world. His book was created from a series of blog posts and emails that friends encouraged him to publish. The book is a straightforward, plain spoken discussion of ways to live a better life. In This Interview Timber and I Discuss... The One You Feed parable. How feeding one wolf makes it stronger and more likely to show up again. The process of creating his book. Fight Club and the Parable of the Two Wolves. Leaving his corporate job to live in Hawaii and live a simple life. "It's not the table, it's who is with you at dinner." That happiness is not waiting for us in the distance but is available to us now. How exhausting the pursuit of happiness can be. The difference between feelings and emotions. Making our own choices, paying our own prices. We are the victims of our own choices. The suffering we create for ourselves. That pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. Feeling are not facts. Naming our demons and feeding our faith. Going beyond setting intention to setting actions. Explaining our anger instead of expressing it. How quickly we cross the line from discussion to argument. How vulnerability helps us to connect, That your mind is like a spoiled rich kid. How what you will allow will continue.
