David Richo on Embracing Life's Inevitable Challenges

It's just for all suffering across the board. I've gotten really good at saying yes to a lot of things, but there are still some that are my trigger when they happen.
Ever feel like life throws curveballs that you just can't dodge? In this enlightening episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with David Richo, a seasoned psychotherapist and author. Richo brings a blend of Jungian, poetic, and mythic perspectives to his work, making for a fascinating conversation. The focus here is on his book, '5 True Things: A Little Guide to Embracing Life’s Big Challenges'.
If you've ever struggled with the tough stuff life throws at you – and let's face it, who hasn't? – this episode offers some valuable insights. Richo introduces the concept of the 'Five Givens' in life, those unchangeable truths that we all have to come to terms with. He emphasizes that it's normal to feed both the good and bad wolves within us, but learning to navigate these challenges by building our inner strength is key.
Throughout the chat, Richo and Zimmer explore how Buddhist and Christian spiritual practices can help us deal with everyday struggles. They also tackle the idea of suffering and how accepting it can lead to greater consciousness and connection. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to find meaning in life's ups and downs.
