About this episode

Tami Simon speaks with David Deida about his new book and the exploration of living from pure presence beyond ambition.

What happens when a man runs out of purpose—and doesn't collapse? Tami Simon speaks with wisdom teacher and bestselling author David Deida about his new book, The Man of Zero: A Guide to Primal Power, Boundless Sex, and the Freedom Beyond Ambition —exploring the phase beyond drive, ambition, and meaning-making, and what becomes possible when a man learns to live from the depths of pure presence. This conversation offers genuine transmission—not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together.
