Episode 10 of The F Words: Difficult conversations with Dr Leandra Brady-Walker is #Freedom: Why creating a subtle life is the key to happiness with Sean D'Souza.

Sean wakes up at 4am (yes, it's crazy I know) but it's a choice and it's his. It's things like this that allow him and his wife to fly business class all over the world and take a 3 month vacation every year.

Create Your Own Freedom

"Work is not the enemy of freedom"

"There is nothing that hasn't been done before, but to get novel insights, your brain needs to be rested"

"Everyday there is a diversion and if you spend energy getting upset with the diversion, you end up failing to see what the diversion is trying to teach you. "

One Small Step:

Mastery. Be smarter than everyone in one way that no one else can do.

And your super power would be....

Convince people that there is no such thing as inborn talent. People who are stunningly brilliant at one thing are often poor at doing other things while the rest of us are average geniuses.
