About this episode

Hi everyone, I'm Doug! In this episode of FIRE University, we explore the wisdom of Think Like a Monk, and learn how to let go of attachment and live with inner peace and freedom.

Highlights: Identity: "I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think that you think I am." The wisdom of detachment: don't let things hold you hostage; learn to truly enjoy every moment. Reflecting on motivation: are you working for the result, or learning for the process? The process is worth more than chasing results. Letting go of the ego: moving from a soldier mindset to a scout mindset, and embracing curiosity and openness.

Inspired by Think Like a Monk, we'll learn how to break free of attachment and embrace a life of freedom and calm. Have a listen, and take a fresh look at your inner world!
