The School of Greatness

Marianne Williamson on Pain, Suffering, and Finding Peace

The School of Greatness

Sometimes I bring spiritual leaders on The School of Greatness and they always blow my mind. No matter what your spiritual beliefs are, I believe there is so much to learn from asking the big questions about life. So when I got the chance to sit down with Marianne Williamson, I was really excited - even though what we talked about was suffering, pain, and trials. So why was I excited? Marianne is an incredible author, speaker, and spiritual leader who has written many bestselling books on topics like relationships, faith, miracles, and mindfulness. Her newest book, however, is all about how to find value and progress in tough times. So pretty much everyone on the planet can relate. I absolutely loved what we discussed, and Marianne was so generous in sharing her wisdom and candor. This is an episode I feel like you'll want to share with the people you care about. I invite you to listen in and think about suffering in a new way in Episode 347.
