Dandapani, THE POWER OF UNWAVERING FOCUS
January 27, 2023
•32m
Zibby speaks to Hindu priest, entrepreneur, renowned international speaker, and former monk Dandapani about his enriching new book The Power of Unwavering Focus. Dandapani talks about his fascinating life trajectory from an engineering degree and ten years as an ordained monk to leaving the monastery and opening a spiritual sanctuary in Costa Rica with his family. Then, he discusses his invaluable message: we must identify the people and things that bring us joy and focus our limited, finite energy on them. Oh, and at the end is the meaning of life.
