David Richo, bestselling author of How to Be an Adult in Relationships, joins Banyen for a conversation on his book To Thine Own Self Be True: Shakespeare as Therapist and Spiritual Guide. The book is available from Banyen: banyen.com/ite...
In To Thine Own Self Be True, Richo has chosen twenty-tree components of humanness, and presents quotations from Shakespeare on those themes. Every passage walks us into who we are and can be, both psychologically and spiritually. With Shakespeare's eloquent quotations as springboards into deepening insight, Richo explores essential themes of our lives, and presents specific suggestions found in Shakespeare that can be put into practice.
"David Richo helps us develop the tools to examine ourselves, our relationships, and our pasts to heal our wounds and become the person we have the potential to be.” -Sharon Salzberg

This beautiful conversation with these two beautiful people is profoundly meaningful for all ages. I highly recommend the children’s book: The house above the trees.
Thank you to the host for letting Mr. Richo speak with fullness and asking such meaningful questions
