Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter

Is it possible to change? Why do we find it so hard? What prevents us from changing? And why do we keep failing?

In this podcast episode, I share the answer to these questions and more. I share some p…

We are all searching for something. We are all on a journey. And to some extent, we all have a restless mind. It is the nature of being alive. We move, we age, we learn and we grow.

The question is, w…

We've never had more ways to escape boredom than we do today. And yet, we've never been more impatient, anxious, and antsy. 

So why so much discontentment when we have so many ways to pass the time? W…

If the unexamined life is not worth living, the unexamined mind is not worth having.

Who are we? At the deepest sense of ourselves? What is this consciousness peering out at the world? And is it possi…

Spirituality and success are not mutually exclusive endeavors. You don't have to give up all your possessions and move to a cave in India to meditate in solitude in order to find happiness.

Words hurt. The unkind words and actions of others can hurt far worse than physical pain. Physical pain is fleeting, but disappointment, betrayal, disrespect and cruelty can last a lifetime and chang…

Why isn't peaceful oneness our natural way of being? Why does it seem so hard to break free from our fears and pain? Why do we fall for the illusion of separateness? Why is there even this illusion t…

Life is made up of hard choices. It's those big moments that define our lives. It's not the outcome that matters. It's those precious moments where we get to decide which direction our life takes. We…

Why are we here? Seriously, what's the point? Why is there a universe where we lose everyone we love and everybody dies? Why is there war and famine and widespread poverty? Is there a purpose? What p…

What can we do when the world is burning all around us? How can we stay hopeful when we are surrounded by hopelessness? What is the point of life when we have nothing to live for?

I know that our worl…

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do good things happen to bad people? And more importantly, why can we have everything in life and still feel empty inside?

Is karma why some people seem to…

We can move forward from any mistakes. We can be freed from all regrets. And we can gain from both wisdom and courage. None of us are slaves to our past.

The fact is, notions of regret and mistake liv…

Does every human being have Buddha nature and Hitler potential within them? Are we destined to exist within one of these extremes? Are we forced to live according to our programming — genetic, cultur…

Relationships are both the greatest sources of happiness we can find in our lives, and the greatest sources of pain and suffering. Not only can relationships cause us tremendous heartache, but the la…

We all want our life to be all peaks all the time. We want maximum enjoyment, pleasure, satisfaction and achievement every moment of our waking lives. Even when we're asleep, we want the best dreams …

Why do we give great advice to others and yet we have a hard time following it ourselves? What is the root cause of our own self-sabotage? Why do we keep making the same mistakes over and over again?…

Some of us are wild a…

Who’s your best friend? Did you say yourself? You should, because there’s no one more important to you than you. You may think there is, but you can only experience other people through your own stat…

There is an epidemic sweeping the world. You may have it and not even know it.

That disease is called denialism, and it's not just psychological. It manifests as physical symptoms and can negatively i…

What if your entire life is being shaped by wounds you don’t even know you have?
