1 小时 13 分钟Okay, super exciting news if you are in San Francisco or Silicon Valley area, the Bay Area, I am going to be recording a live podcast conversation in front of a live audience at the Stanford University D School on February 14 at 1030 in the morning.
My guests will be Dave Evans and Bill Burnett.
They are co authors of the New York Times mega best selling book designing your life and the forthcoming book designing your work life.
They're also co directors of the Life design lab at Stanford University.
And Dave and Bill, they're not only brilliant at applying design thinking to the quest to live better everyday and work lives, they're also some of the wisest, big hearted humans out there with a list of industry accomplishments that would make your head spin.
You do not want to miss this rare chance to join us in conversation, ask questions, who knows, maybe even trade a hug or two.
So in our live podcast event again, that's Friday, February, Stanford's D School.
We'll be exploring how to reimagine your approach to work and life in a way that leads to deeper fulfillment and meaning and lots more joy.
And to help make it as accessible as possible, we've decided to make the entire thing free.
But seating is also strictly limited, so you'll want to reserve your spots as soon as possible.
You can do that right now just by clicking the link in the show notes, then grab your seats before it's all gone.
Hope to see you there.
So my guest today, Steven C.
Hayes, grew up in southern California in the sixties, but found himself taking a lot of trips up to northern California, to San Francisco area in the late sixties.
Summer of love time.
Kind of went all in on the hippie movement, on a bit of a quest for self discovery and service, and really wanting to expand his idea of healing out onto a broader scale.
Ended up not dropping out, as some of the invitations at the time were, but rather dropping into the world of psychology, pursuing his PhD and then beginning to teach.
But along the way, he'd begun to experience anxiety and panic attacks that eventually became crippling to him and nearly destroyed his career and his life.
It was really personal, and it was this very personal experience that awakened him in a moment of absolute crisis when he was on his knees to a very different way to explore and find peace with nearly anything that might come our way and develop a whole new approach called acceptance and commitment therapy, which is this popular evidence based form of psychotherapy that is now practiced by tens of thousands of clinicians around the world.
He's now a professor at the University of Nevada author of 45 books, over 600 scientific articles, and his latest book, a liberated mind.
