I Meditated 100+ Hours In 10 Days. Here’s What I Learned
Unexpected Lessons On Resilience, Productivity, And Growth
During these times of economic uncertainty, I’ve been reflecting a LOT on one thing.
How to develop resilience.
Uber, Whatsapp, and Groupon were all started during the last Great recession. It was a brutal market, yet they prevailed and came out of the other side with great success.
What is it about companies like these that make it through challenging times?
I had a very unique experience learning about the answer to this exact question:
Meditating for 100+ hours over 10 days at a silent meditation retreat.
I recently spoke for Mike Kim’s community of entrepreneurs sharing what I learned from it.
Upon arriving at the meditation center, I turned in my phone, and we had no access to technology. We were also told not to bring any books or journals as well.
During breaks, I was twiddling my thumbs at times due to the fact there was nothing to do.
It was also difficult to go out on long walks because I was in the summer desert. Temperatures would reach as high as 120 degrees.
