Pema Wangel became a Buddhist monk in Nepal at seventeen. Twenty years later, he sometimes still catches himself comparing his life to the people running countries and companies.


In this conversation: what the monastic life actually teaches you, the Buddhist principles, about luck, purpose, the reason an ex-monk in Kathmandu chose to leave for love, and a surprisingly simple answer to what it takes to live a meaningful life.
