Josh Korda on Embracing Truth and Letting Go of Illusions
We curate our reputations on social media, present to people only the lovable, interesting, funny parts of ourselves, and this doesn't lead to any form of real connection.
Ever felt like you're living a life that's not entirely your own? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Josh Korda, the guiding teacher of Dharma Punx in New York City. Josh, also a fully empowered Buddhist teacher, shares insights from his book 'Unsubscribe: Opt Out of Delusion, Tune in to Truth'.
They dive into how we can make meaningful changes in our lives by letting go of the illusions we often cling to. Josh's approach is grounded in Buddhist principles and enriched by his own life experiences. He encourages us to move past the polished versions of ourselves that we present on social media and to seek genuine, heartfelt connections instead. One of the key takeaways from their conversation is the idea of silencing our inner critic.
Josh explains how providing ourselves with a corrective emotional response can help us turn past adversities into sources of strength. As he wisely puts it, 'Everything that has happened to you can also be a strength builder for you, if you allow it'. This episode is packed with practical advice and deep reflections, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to lead a more authentic and fulfilling life.
