If you’ve ever felt a spiritual calling, and felt there was more
to your life than just the day to day grind, then do we have the
show for you.
Today I’ll be talking with Karan Bajaj, a #1 best-selling indian
author about his brilliant new novel The Yoga of Max’s Discontent,
inspired by a one year sabbatical traveling from Europe to India by
road and learning yoga and meditation in the Himalayas.
Today I want to talk about taking a spiritual and creative
sabbatical, literal or metaphorical to get in alignment, find our
path, and find our deepest self.
That plus we’ll talk about going silent, riding a scooty,
becoming vegetarian teetotalers, holding up your arm for 12 years
straight, and how to hang with monkeys and snakes.
