“Ships do not sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them.” — Freeman Fung
Our guest today is Freeman Fung, an international author, speaker, and Mindvalley certified coach who is on a mission to help people adapt in our modern, globalized world. Originally from Hong Kong, Freeman’s life was transformed at age 19 when he left home solo to live in Europe and began a decade-long journey of living, studying, and working in over 30 countries.
He is a TEDx speaker, a Shaolin martial artist, a biohacker, and a dedicated lucid dreamer (or “oneironaut”) who uses the depths of the mind as a territory for personal growth. We both met in Japan recently where we both spoke at Colive Fukuoka.
In his book, “Travel to Transform,” he provides a map for shifting from a local (which he describes as ego-centric) to a “world-centric” mindset, raising our self-awareness and metacognition, by using travel as the ultimate fast-track for personal mastery.
Notable Quotes
“Global citizenship is not a result; it’s a mindset. It’s a way of seeing, a way of thinking, a way of living—at work or play, travelling or not travelling.”
“I am not what happens to me; I am who I choose to become.”
“The world is what we think it is, but there is a world beyond our thinking.”
