193. Diane Dreher – The Tao of Inner Peace

Diane Dreher is the writer of The Tao of Inner Peace as well as other nonfiction books, and her work has been translated into ten languages. She is an award-winning positive psychology researcher and her work blends wisdom from the past with contemporary psychology and neuroscience. Her work combines knowledge of the western world with traditions of the eastern world including many insights from the Tao Te Ching. Her work helps teach people to live with the pains of life without also suffering. In this interview, Diane joins me to discuss how to better understand and cultivate your unique strengths, how to understand and cultivate a relationship to your intuition, and the power of stillness. We also discuss the four stages of discovering your purpose or calling, recognizing, and resolving false dilemmas, and finding paths through “either / or” situations that seem unwinnable. Another interesting thing we talk about is the wisdom of bamboo, what we can learn from it about strength, flexibility, and resilience; How we can use our differences to help us work together to find solutions. “There are times when to be strong is to be flexible.” This week on the School for Good Living Podcast: Being aware of and using our strengthsCombining eastern and western philosophyThe false dilemma and Seeing through “either / or” situationsThe wisdom of bamboo, learning to be flexibleAllowing our differences to help us work together to find solutionsResources Mentioned: Dianedreher.comViacharacter.orgConnect With The Guest: DianeDreher.com/contactSubscribe and sign up for more!
