About this episode

Exploration of a sentence that transformed reactions to life's events over four decades.

What if the only thing we can truly change is our reaction to what happens? In this episode, Orin and Mira explore a simple sentence that shaped an entire life. Over four decades, it became a living practice that revealed a powerful shift in how we meet the ups and downs of everyday life. Together, they look at the space between what happens and how we respond, and what can change when we learn to stop pushing the river.
