EP 17
Meditation, purpose and work
with Susan Barnes
Susan is a meditation teacher and personal growth facilitator

<p>In this episode, I interview Susan Barnes. Susan has an amazing story. In the first part of her life she was the controller of a hedge fund, before becoming a meditation teacher, personal growth facilitator, and artist. In our conversation she develops what it was like to have a high-level job in finance, and to feel misaligned with her purpose. We explore the delicate balance between our outer life – the work we do and our existence within society – and our inner world or spiritual reality. We even dwell on questions such as “how to stay in a state of stillness even while being an active, goal-oriented person”.</p>
What are the different types of meditation?
How to not oppose ‘Being’ and ‘Doing’?
How to use both the rational and intuitive mind?
Work purpose, rightful action, and self-betrayal
