🎧 ABOUT THE EPISODE

Why aren't you happy, even when you have everything you worked for? I sat down with Sikh spiritual teacher Satpal Singh, founder of Nanak Naam, who left a successful IT career to teach the 550-year-old wisdom of Guru Nanak.

Satpal says we've been brainwashed to see a billionaire as the picture of success, and that much of modern self-improvement is materialism in spiritual clothes. We get into how to tell a real teacher from a fraud, why the gap between your expectations and reality decides how frustrated you feel, why chasing the next goal keeps successful people unhappy, and the one question he asks himself to let go of frustration.

He also shares how the rule of acceptance helped him and his wife through a miscarriage, how to deal with difficult people you can't walk away from, and why who you think you are might be what's making you miserable.
