20 分钟Today's episode is brought to you by my new book.
I know I'm our sponsor, so you guys have heard me talk about it in the past.
I think towards the end of last year, my new book, my latest book, how to live a good life, came out, and I've been blown away by the reception to it.
It's very straightforward, surprising science, soulful stories, and practical wisdom.
It's a blend of, you know, pretty much a lot of what this show is about, but really distilled into pure, actionable wisdom and insights designed to walk you through a process and introduce you to a model that I call the good life buckets that I hope will really help you live a good life.
It's a great time of year to be exploring this and really using it as a tool to do the things you're here to do, to become what you're knowing you can become, and also to find the grace in being just as you are.
So check it out.
You can find it pretty much all over Amazon, Barnes and noble, local bookstores, indies, how to live a good life.
Okay, on to our show.
Hey there, it's Jonathan with a good life project riff.
So every once in a while, I love to read a question that I get often by email, forwarded to me from one of our awesome listeners, and then share my thoughts and that becomes the riff.
And that's what I'm going to do this week.
So today's question is a little bit of a longer setup, but I think it's something that so many people feel.
So I want to actually read it, the entire thing and then I'm going to share my thoughts on it and it comes to us from our listener, Asha.
So here we go, she says.
Recently I've been thinking about all the default inputs that unintentionally come into our lives, be it high fructose corn syrup, a never ending Facebook feed, empty fear and stealing news, and of course, overt cultural norms, which more than we know, can determine our own beliefs of what's acceptable or not acceptable.
Fed up with feeling like a cattle being force fed grain, which I do not naturally prefer.
Haha.
I've been going on an input cleanse, which means everything from deleting instagram, cutting back on sugar, only spending time with people I really can have an honest conversation with, and not reading, watching, listening, consuming things that don't seem authentic or true.
I'm a big believer in meditation, movement, being outside and appreciating the small details and beauty that always exists around us.
