When was the last time you sat with yourself, undistracted, long enough to actually hear what you were feeling?
In a world built to keep your attention captured every second of the day, the simple act of being alone with yourself has become one of the most radical things you can do.
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.
