We live in a very left-brain-dominant world. We put so much focus on quantitative things instead of qualitative ones. We obsess over having the right amount of money, the right possessions, the right-sized family, the right-sized house, everything that society tells us we’re supposed to want.

Many monks and nuns in Buddhism and other religions have shared their knowledge with me. And the truth is, every single person I meet, every plant I see, every butterfly and ant, every rock, chair, table—everything—is my guru, my mentor, my…
