In this episode of 'The Good World,' Seth reflects on the challenges of restarting creative projects after a break. Drawing parallels to the myth of Sisyphus, Seth emphasizes the importance of pushing through setbacks and reframing narratives of struggle as opportunities for growth. He also delves into the practice of meditation, describing it as 'mind wandering noticing practice,' and shares insights from the book 'Why Buddhism is True' by Robert Wright. With a mix of humor and sincerity, Seth encourages viewers to embrace the continuous journey of starting over, finding purpose, and building momentum in both daily habits and long-term goals.
