In this episode, David shares how he
finally made a decision to stop, and in doing so, he found his way.
He talks about the three different ways in which we get to the art
of stopping: still-points, stopovers, and grinding halts. Plus,
David explains why we are in the place of having less time, less
energy, and too much to do. Later, David teaches us how to shift
the way we live to be in the space of greater fulfillment and
joy.
