Don’t Let Distractions Hold You Back

We live in a distracted society. Keeping focused can be challenging, whether we’re engaging in conversation or trying to meet a deadline. Learn what it means to put ‘complete effort’ into things and the benefits we gain by being fully present in each moment.

In this talk, Doug and Catherine explore the topic of Right Effort, from the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path. They explain that wholesome effort is when we are in the moment and not distracted by conflicted emotions or primitive thinking.
