How To Stay Open and Curious Even When You're Exhausted or Annoyed | Sarah Ruhl

An antidote to boredom and stuckness.

Sarah Ruhl is an award-winning American playwright, author, essayist, and professor. Her latest book is Lessons from My Teachers: From Preschool to the Present.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How to orient towards the world with an eagerness to learn
  • How to approach our lives not only as students, but also as teachers
  • Unpacking the moment when "the student becomes the master"
  • What does it mean to have a meditation teacher?
  • Being open to synchronicity or signs from the universe
  • Is everything magic?
  • What Sarah's learned from the venerable psychiatrist Dr. Mark Epstein
  • What it means to "leave an emotion alone"
