Your Eight Great Stumbling Blocks-- Save yourself from sabotaging the best bits of your life

As Lindsey researched her latest novel, she discovered an age-old Buddhist list of life’s big challenges. For many hundreds of years, Tibetans have told the legend of the Eight Great Fears. These universal inner blocks are as familiar to busy Westerners as they are to the peasant nomads of the high Himalayas. We all know only too well how messy our jobs and lives can become when we get caught up in doubts and dodgy thinking. Lindsey takes you through life’s eight, great stumbling blocks with a blend of high energy and deep reflection. This big-hearted speech gives audiences new insights on how we all undermine ourselves, and what we can do about it.
