Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter

We worry about our legacy.
How we’ll be remembered.
Whether we mattered.

But what if that entire burden was imagined?

What if the thing you’re stressing about… doesn’t actually exist the way you think it does?

This podcast explores why we carry worries past our own lifetime — and what happens when we finally put them down.

I am fascinated by those timeless thoughts that every generations ponders: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life?

For tens of thousands of years, humans have looked to the skies and wondered about these questions. And yet, after all that time, we're no closer to an answer. However, one key phrase keeps getting passed down: Know thyself.

But what does it mean to know ourselves? Isn't who we...

We know that people will lie. We know that people will say hurtful things because they've been hurt. We know that what people say about us can have absolutely nothing to do with us. And we know that people judge, blame, and criticize in ways that have no relationship to the truth.

So why then do their words hurt so much? Why do we suffer so deeply when people slander us? And why do we take things so personally that ar...

How is it that so many kind, loving people can turn into rage monsters on the road? How can people who would never be unkind suddenly start screaming expletives at sweet old ladies?

Road rage is no laughing matter. Kids and family members are affected by the rage. It spikes our blood pressure. And people die all the time in road related fights.

To quit road rage, we have to first understand it. In today's podcast, I share the 3 ...

Slow down, close your eyes, and meditate on these reflections on consciousness, the universe, and our place in the cosmos.

Does being on the spiritual path mean that we will become lazy? How to be motivated AND be peaceful? Don't we need stress to succeed?

In this podcast, I answer these questions and more. I dive into the topic of what it means to spiritually surrender. And I share the most powerful trick to achieving everything we could ever want in life with ease and joy.

We all know that expression, "One day I'll look back on this and laugh." Usually, it takes a few years. But is there a way to speed up that process? Is there a way to laugh and enjoy each moment as if we were looking back on it years from now?

The key to why we can look back and laugh as something difficult is distance. Emotional, physical, and chronological distance. Distance gives us a feeling of safety, c...

What does it mean to be both finite beings in an infinite universe? Who are you? Who am I? How to sense oneness? What is eternity? What is our true nature?

In this weekly short podcast, let's explore these answers and more — our infinite nature, how we merge back with reality, and why death isn't as scary as we think.

There is a stage of adulthood that no one talks about and no one prepares us for. It is the hardest stage to grow into. It is the stage we fear and try to avoid our whole life. But it's coming for all of us.

No, it's not the mid-life crisis. It's the stage of becoming an elder. It doesn't mean we've turned 80. It means we no longer have an elder we can turn to for sage advice, and we have to step i...

When we realize the root cause of what is stealing our joy, it becomes easy to rip that cause out from the roots so that it never grows back. In this podcast, I share the #1 reason we are not loving life to the fullest. And I discuss how we can all start right here, right now.

Our bodies respond to the thoughts in our head. We make choices because of our thoughts. And if we have a scary thought, we feel fear. If our thoughts are angry in nature, we feel anger. If we have worrying thoughts, we feel stressed and anxious. If they are positive, we feel good and happy.

We think reality effects our thoughts, but it is our thoughts that create our reality. Most of us simply have an untrained mind. Our mind is ou...

We all have trouble thinking before we speak and act. We want to be present and flow, but we also want to be careful and thoughtful of what we do. 

So how do we think before we act and still be present? How do we stop impulsive behavior, giving into addiction and addictive urges, and reacting from anger or losing our temper?

Why do we sometimes say something we don't mean, act impulsively, or hurt others unin...

Why do we suffer from mean words? What is the real root cause of this suffering? Why do words directed at us hurt more than watching those same words on TV? What is getting hurt? And is there a way to stop getting angry and upset by the cruelty and unkindness of others?

In this podcast, I do a deep dive into the root cause of this particularly difficult and all too common form of suffering. I talk about what role trauma pl...

One of the hardest times in anyone's life is when we lose someone who is still alive. Perhaps they cut us off, perhaps we cut them off, or perhaps it was mutual. But either way, the pain, regret, blame, and open wound of hope make this type of loss particularly difficult.

There are countless books written about grief. When someone we love passes, friends and family offer their support. But when we lose the living, we often suff...

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 personal stories of my own struggles. I talk about the nature of addiction, why we really get hooked, and most importantly, how to become free once and for all.

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, what are we searching for? Are we staying focused or getting distracted? Are we getting closer or further away? And is it the right goal, the right destination we're moving toward, the place that will bring us the peace and happines...

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? Why such unhappiness despite having infinite entertainment in our pockets? And why are our attention spans shorter than ever?

In this podcast, I share the truth about boredom. I discuss why we feel it, what it truly is, and how ...

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 possible to turn our awareness back on itself?

If we fail to look at ourselves, to understand who we truly are, to understand our unconscious thought patterns and habits, we are doomed to repeat our past, to live an unintentional life, and to...

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. 

Steve Jobs showed us that you can be spiritual and successful. He showed us how spirituality can actually lead to greater success. And he shared how spirituality actually led to him being able to enjoy instead of losing himself in the insat...
