S1 Ep07 - The Zen of Being

There's a layer underneath doing and thinking that most people have very little awareness of, and so they can't do much about it if they're stuck.

In this episode, Leo looks at the ways of being, and how it's probably the most important thing when it comes to changing our lives.
