Six Days In Solitude (And Why You Might Need The Same)

Talking points: solitude, contemplation, mindset

By the time you hear this, I’ll be way out on the Isle of Skye, the home of my ancestors, for some intentional solitude. This kind of deliberate aloneness is something I think every man needs, but doesn’t really attempt.

Listen in for a reflection on what and why I’m doing this, and why it might help you too.

(00:00:00) – Intro
(00:01:35) – For years, I didn’t like being alone
(00:03:35) – I believe every man needs SOME responsibility and distraction-free time
(00:05:30) – Why I chose Scotland
(00:08:54) – The kind of questions I’ll be asking myself while alone
(00:11:02) – Men crave clarity
