Light Watkins is an expert meditation and spiritual teacher who gave up all his earthly possessions 5 years ago (save what he could fit into a small backpack) and proceeded to travel the world giving talks on happiness, mindfulness, and meditation. Today he joins me to talk about cultivating inner happiness and how to live a more meaningful, purposedriven life.
