What unconscious pattern in your life might finally be ready to surface and be seen?
Most people walk through life convinced they are making conscious choices. But the moment you sit in stillness, you discover something humbling. So much of your life is being run by patterns you never agreed to.
In this clip from Know Thyself, Rich Roll sits down with André to discuss the foundations for living in harmony with your goals: facing off with adversity, the inner critic, and learning to surrender. He shares his story of overcoming alcoholism, becoming an athlete at age 40, and becoming a world-renowned podcast host. He reveals the power of mastering the mind: whether it be in endurance sports or facing online criticism, the mind can be an incredible tool if we learn how to sharpen it.
This is a deeply inspiring conversation to remind you that you can change your life at ANY age, and the greatness you are destined for is always within you.
