"One of the most important effort strategies is to figure out what is burdening us" This idea of deep searching, to look what is holding to us, is what made me leave a well-paid job in Qatar and start my own business (earning less than 15% of my previous salary) in Eastern Europe. Was it easy? No. Was it worthy? Absolutely. Good interview!
For me, this was incredibly poignant. I have the very same painting that Greg described, framed in my own living room. I had never noticed that the artist, Greg Kershisnik, titled the painting, “ She Will Find What is Lost”. I needed this more than I can express. Thank you 🙏🏼

I love the podcasts you two make together because Greg turns it into a back and forth conversation, and gets you to go through exercises and share more! Awesome episode, really excited about listening to this book.
Hi Tim, I'm incredibly happy for you. I've never heard you enjoying your Self so much with so much underlying security and relaxation than I have in this interview. You do amazing work that helps me and others, so I'm glad to see that you can really enjoy being you.
Absolutely love the guest sketches! Really amazing!
Beautiful and critically important. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Wow ! Thanks Tim for this great episode. Greg was such a great storyteller and the dynamic you two shared made for a great podcast
"The way of the Essentialist is the relentless pursuit of less but better." -Greg McKeown "Focusing on the essentials is a choice. It is your choice. That in itself is incredibly liberating." -Greg McKeown "Essentialism is not about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done." -Greg McKeown "If it isn’t a clear yes, then it’s a clear no." -Greg McKeown
Love Tim and Greg; very much looking forward to this when it becomes 'essential' to my day ;P
Thank you both.
A YGL? Nice 👌🏽
Notes for myself: 01:03:35: Question own upsetting core beliefs: Amelia Boone: "No one owes you anything". Byron Katie - The Work: 1. Is it true? 2. Can I absolutely for sure know this to be true. 3. Who am I and how do I feel if I believe this to be true? 4. Who would I be and how would I feel if I don't believe this to be true? 5. Turn around:
Love you videos so much they have inpired me to start my own chanell
Thank you
Starts at 4:52. First time here from Rich Roll Podcast, *and my God Tim this is bad.* Super long sponsor spots (4 minutes), super long intro and no chapters to skip them. Glad I have SponsorBlock installed to spare me the time, as any conscientious viewer should too.

Woah, good recommendation on SponsorBlock! For those not aware: It color-codes the seek bar to also show intermissions, non-content parts. You can configure it to auto or manually skip. Neat tool!

@1:16:28 words to live by.. a reminder ... Gems, Gratitude.
There are historical facts that paint Ghandi as a destabilization agent working for British interests in India. Before those of you who will scoff at this, ask yourselves; how much do I really know about his story? Have I studied what happened to India during his time, who were the other players, and what resulted from his influence? Or did I just watch a Hollywood movie about him, read a couple of excerpts in a magazine here and there, and took his popular marketing as gospel?
