Description
Dr. Will Tuttle is an international best-selling author, composer, former Zen monk, and a leading voice at the intersection of spirituality, compassion, and conscious living. He is best known for his book *The World Peace Diet*, which has been translated into multiple languages and explores the deep connection between our daily choices, our consciousness, and the state of the world.
From walking across America without money in his 20s to living as a monk in Korea and later teaching around the world, his life has been a continuous exploration of meaning, freedom, and living in alignment with one’s values.
In this profound conversation, Dr. Will shares:
• Why he left home at 21 and walked across the country with no money
• The search for “cosmic consciousness” and true spiritual freedom
• Lessons from months of walking, meditating, and trusting the universe
• How early spiritual experiences shaped his life’s work
• What it really means to live consciously in your 20s
• Insights on purpose, compassion, and daily choices
