Every human possesses the power to transform their consciousness and create significant life changes. Harry’s own journey has led him to develop a deep understanding and appreciation for human consciousness and its limitless potential. He shares his profound experiences and the many different ways to gain self-insight. It's fascinating to listen to Harry share with such nuance and compassion. It’s easy to tell how deep he understands these life-changing principles he lives by.

Harry put himself out there, stayed open, stayed true to himself, and in doing so has given us a gift.

Over the last decade, Harry Sherwood lived with and learned from many different masters, from monks, yogis, to professors, and psychologists. His well-traveled life story culminated into founding Consciously, where he helps people discover their truths and live from a place of self-awareness.

He believes that insight is the mechanism behind our mental, spiritual and interpretative framework, and as such has developed some perspective-shifting tools to achieve this.

Today he talks about self-inquiry and how it can transform your life.

It’s like a staircase to the art of true understanding. One of the many amazing practices Harry has created from his deeply personal experiences.

Take time and really listen to what he has to say about this. That 20-minute portion of the episode has so much potential to change anybody. We literally mention it in the episode! Take notes, think deeply about the principles, and allow them to take root in your being.

Harry shares different ways of looking at our life and existence, many that can transform any man into their truest version. He not only shares his principles on self-inquiry but also sets the foundations for transformation. We have a great talk about coping mechanisms and applying self-awareness to everything, from resistance to the imposter syndrome.

He even has a great point that imposter syndrome is good! There are many ‘good’ alternative perspectives that he shares, like being selfishly good and not being ready.

There is so much valuable insight here that you don’t want to miss.
