The Emic - Episode 1: How one of the poorest citizens of the world taught me how to live a rich life

In this episode of the Emic, I share the lesson that was taught to me by one of the poorest people in the world. He helped me understand how I can live, and wholeheartedly enjoy, a rich life, without looking away from the suffering and poverty that so many other people live in. As I explain in the episode, this lesson still helps me on a near-daily basis, for example when I see the news from Gaza. Hope it helps you too: you can download the Emic here and listen to it whenever you have circa 10 minutes available - as always, it's best to listen when you're in a quiet spot, to appreciate the sound effects - this time, you will hear recording that I made during fieldwork in a Jakartan riverbank settlement
