Inner and outer journeys with Monisha Rajesh

Award-winning travel writer Monisha Rajesh reflects back on philosophical conversations she had over ten years ago with host Milan Samani before she made the bold decision to jump on a plane to India where she travelled the entire country by train that resulted in her first major book deal. She has since written a second highly acclaimed book ‘Around the World in 80 Trains’. Yet despite the outer success, Monisha gives an honest account of her inner struggles, and with the insights of our resident monk, explores ways to develop mental strength and express the mind’s creative and higher potential. This episode features themes that are associated with mental health. Vedanta should not be used to replace therapy for mental health issues.
