#67 - Can You Be Happy and Competitive? With Dr Joey Weber - World Expert In Equanimity

Hey everybody, welcome back to the podcast. My guest today is Dr. Joey Weber. This was a beautifully resonant and deep conversation centred around equanimity. Dr. Joey is a world expert in equanimity and is the author of the book Why Mindfulness is Not Enough.

We discussed the tension between happiness, peace, and competitive drive; pleasure; mindfulness; trusting your intuition; validation; emotional entanglement; judgment versus discernment; and lots of other topics that you can check out in the chapter list.

I thought it was a fantastic conversation. Whether you're interested in mindfulness, spirituality, competitive sports, or happiness in general, I think you'll take a lot from it. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Joey Weber.

I'm so excited to tell you about my first ever sponsor Bear Bar, who make the highest quality shower soaps. If you’d like to try them you can get 15% off by heading to https://bit.ly/barejase and entering JASE at checkout.
