Season 2: Episode 28

This week the Book Club discusses The Five-Element Solution, a book by Jean Haner. Based on the Chinese Five Elements – Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal, this book shows readers how the elements play out in their personalities and lives. Each Book Club member shares stories about how their dominant elements show up in unexpected ways, like Liza who lines her home with beautiful stones to keep her element close to her, and Ben, who is so balanced between all the elements, he can switch back and forth between them depending upon what the situation calls for. As you listen and take the test yourself, think about how your dominant elements show up. Learn more by listening in on this episode of The HRart of It Podcast.

Season 2: Episode 27

Get ready for some banter as Josh and Samm work their way through each other’s test results to see which elements they have in common and where the differences lie.

As Tolle explains, greatness is a fantasy of the ego while the foundation for greatness is honoring the small things in the moment. What does that look like in real life outside the pages of this book?
