Jonathan Fields / Acast
About this episode

Ever feel like life's ups and downs are knocking you off balance? Discover how to cultivate unshakable self-trust with Buddhist teacher Ethan Nichtern, author of Confidence: Holding Your Seat through Life's Eight Worldly Winds.


Ethan shares ancient practices for navigating the emotional hurricanes of pleasure/pain, praise/criticism, fame/insignificance and success/failure we all face. Whether you're battling imposter syndrome, recovering from a breakup or redefining your career path, learn to access the four powers of true confidence - compassion, lineage, awareness and "wind horse" - so you can stay centered amid the storm.
