A Master Class in Resilience | George Mumford

Published: Aug. 12, 2020, 7 a.m.

b'Today we have a master class in resilience. My guest is George Mumford, who has overcome some towering difficulties in his own life, including an addiction to drugs. He went on to become a legendary meditation teacher who has worked with athletes such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. We talk about how we can all develop the skill of resilience through meditation. Just like the Buddha did, George loves to teach using lists. You\\u2019ll hear him discuss the Three C\\u2019s, the Four A\\u2019s, and the Five Super Powers. You will also hear him talk about how he has had to apply these skills afresh in the past few months, when he has experienced death in his family, as well as the death of his friend Kobe Bryant. As you may have heard me mention in Monday\\u2019s episode, we are dedicating this whole week to the interrelated themes of resilience and grit. If you missed it, go check out Monday\\u2019s episode with psychologist Angela Duckworth, who wrote a whole book on grit. One last note: George has a fantastic course in the Ten Percent Happier app all about learning how to face high-pressure situations, such as the one we are in right now.
