091 - Keep Calm and Practice On: Buddhist Lessons on Performance (with Stephen Batchelor)

Two skills that will be helpful to anyone trying to master a craft or achieve excellence (or, frankly, make it through life): the capacity to be with difficulty, and an ability to show up consistently even when nothing is on the line. Luckily, today's guest has more than fifty years of practice with both. Stephen Batchelor is a Buddhist thinker, teacher, and author, who has written numerous books on how Buddhist wisdom can be applied in everyday life. Today, he discusses his path to Buddhism—including more than a decade of intensive study—and offers wisdom on how to best cultivate a nonreactive mind, why a focus on practice (rather than results) can free you up to "realize your own excellence," and the important difference between radical acceptance and resignation.
