This was
a very personal interview, and it some of the most
practical insights in a
short amount of time I have ever encountered on:
- being
grateful for food and shelter
- being
ready to die, but loving to live
- why you
make yourself unhappy
- how to
stop living like a zombie
- why
it’s good to cry like a baby
- how
everything is temporary, including feeling bad
- how and
when to finally start living your dream
- most
importantly: don’t hold your farts, let them go!
