0:00What's going on everybody?

0:01It's episode 577 of the Genius Life.

0:05Let's go!

0:17The Genius Life What's going on, everybody?

0:23I'm your host, Max Luca here, and welcome back to The Genius Life.

0:27Today's guest is Sam Yeo.

0:29He is a former West End performer, turned Buddhist monk, turned globally beloved Peloton instructor, and author of the new book, A Monk's Mindset.

0:38And in this conversation, we explore what it actually means to cultivate calm in a world that increasingly profits from your distraction.

0:44This is a quieter conversation, but fantastic nonetheless, in which we talk about Sam's incredible journey from London theater to a monastery in Thailand, why stillness can feel so uncomfortable in the modern world, and how meditation isn't just about turning off your thoughts, but learning how to observe them without letting them hijack your peace.
