How Nature Helps Us Navigate a Divided World With Michael Schauch

This week, Live Happy Now visits the mountains — not to climb them, but to learn from them. Alpinist and award-winning author Michael Schauch joins us to explore how nature, intuition, and the practice of “non‑self” can help us navigate a world that feels increasingly fast, loud, and divided. His stories from the Himalaya and his new book Anatta: Heart of Wisdom offer a grounded, hopeful way to move through troubled times with more clarity and compassion. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why understanding “non‑self” helps us reduce conflict and polarization. How nature reveals our true patterns — and helps us reconnect with others. Practical ways to quiet the mind, dissolve reactive habits, and respond with compassion.
