The Ego-Crushing Path to Enlightenment

I’d like to share an embarrassing story with you. In my early thirties, I thought I was one of the best harmonica players in the world. I really did! After all, I was imitating some of the best players so obviously, I was just as talented.

Then I decided that I wanted to BE the best, so I bought some CDs and started imitating more players. However, after listening to more artists with some amazing gifts, I was suddenly struck with a realization that not only was I not in the top tier of best players in the world, but I wasn’t even on the bottom rung of a very tall ladder of talent and skill.

I purchased the MEAN workbook some months ago and it really helped clarify my situation. It is a very helpful resource and I read through it often to get back on track again

Thank you so much for the incredible work you do. I think I would be in a psychiatric hospital or in jail without your program

I have been in therapy for the last few months, but nothing has really helped me grow and evolve like your podcast. You are one of my favorite people on the planet, and I cannot express my appreciation enough!

OMG – this is the most useful podcast I have ever heard in my entire life! Just wanted to express my thanks.

I think I have learned more in a weeks worth of podcasts than I have in the past 3 years of counseling appointments

Your podcasts have changed my life! You are so compassionate with how you present… you were there as a reference and guide when professionals just minimised the abuse

I found the podcast and it has been more helpful to me than in office therapy with psychologists. Thank you!

You have helped me navigate through some seriously dangerous territory. Thank you for that.

I must tell you I have never heard someone speak and have it make so much sense. Every single point you make is right on. Thank you so much for everything you are doing 😊

Once I discovered your podcasts, my life has started to take a shift for the better. I share them with everyone I know that I think could benefit from them

I feel hopeful about my future… thanks for helping me to take my life back

Wow! I just discovered your podcast and I want to say, your episode on guilt (episode 329 how to avoid destroying yourself with guilt) helped my fiancé and I so much… My fiancé said he’s even going to listen to it again. Thank you so much.

I’ve been following you over a year now, and I must say that this new podcast channel [Love and Abuse] has helped me a LOT to go through my recent breakup!
