Surrendering to the Flow of Life with Bret Perkins

Success is truly relative. Brent Perkins was by all accounts successful. He was a CEO with a promising future but after 12 years, he decided it was time to take a time out. He abandoned his life in the corporate world to spend a full month just resting and spending time with his family.

It was during a meditation session that he realized his new purpose was to write a book. This book, Papercuts: The Art of Self Delusion, addresses the tiny wounds we give ourselves and discusses in real detail the idea of surrender. We are thrilled to have had the chance to talk to Brent about his views on what it truly means to surrender and so much more.

Brent’s experience may seem familiar. Some of us find ourselves in a life that no longer makes sense to us and we are called upon to make a change. Maybe that’s why we find Brent’s journey so compelling because it’s a story we can really relate to. Brent’s philosophy about how surrendering to circumstances can actually aid us in living better and happier lives is nothing new, but how he shares this concept, supported with some great analogies, will really stay with you.

We also go deep on the idea of free will, religion, and more. If you’ve ever been curious about how to live life in a different, more impactful way, it’s time to sit and listen to Brent’s story in the latest episode of The Better Than Rich Show today.
