Скачать или смотреть The Examined Life: My Spiritual Practice for Staying Grounded

I'm two years away from turning 50 — and I'm done just existing. I want to actually live. In this video I'm sharing one of my core spiritual practices: the Examen. I'm filming this from a 24-hour solo retreat in the mountains of Idlewild, California, where I came to slow down, reflect, and get clear on what really matters.

In this video:
— What the Examen is and where it comes from
— My daily morning and evening practice
— The weekly review (inspired by David Allen's *Getting Things Done*)
— My monthly and quarterly retreat rhythms
— The One Word Focus practice for the year
— How I think about life in decades — and why my 50s are going to be my best decade yet
