Ep 24 Proximity w Raghu Markus

Episode Description

Raghu Markus returns to the Metta Hour in Episode 24, to discuss Sharon’s recent post on her weekly On Being column called ‘Proximity Leads to Understanding’ regarding the role of proximity in understanding the ubiquitous nature of our lives.

The secret to success is found in paying attention
