Tami Simon engages in a profound conversation with David Whyte, the bestselling author of ten poetry books, three prose works, and the celebrated Sounds True audio program "What to Remember When Waking." David Whyte shares his unique perspective on the revelatory power of poetry, which can surprise us with new understanding and take hold of our being.
Throughout the discussion, Tami and David explore various facets of life's journey, including the importance of having courageous conversations, the generative potential of "a well-felt sadness," and the art of reframing regret. David Whyte introduces his concept of invitational leadership, which involves seven key steps, and delves into the notion of "robust vulnerability" - the willingness to choose the path we truly care about.
The conversation also touches upon the themes of anguish, anxiety, and learning to be comfortable with the unknown. Whyte emphasizes the significance of letting go and "apprenticing ourselves to our own disappearance" as we navigate the constant invitation to engage with life.
Whether you're a lover of poetry, a seeker of personal growth, or a curious explorer of life's profound questions, this podcast offers a wealth of wisdom and inspiration from one of the most insightful voices of our time.
