The Abundance's video: A Conversation with Steve Chandler - Paul Babin The Abundance Channel

Steve Chandler is a best selling author and highly successful life and leadership coach. He is a teacher and mentor to millions of people world-wide, myself included. His wisdom and heart is matched only by his humbleness and sense of humor. The publication of his latest book, "The Best of Steve Chandler" is the focus of our conversation, recorded in July 2022. Among the questions we consider: What is "Ownership Spirit," and how is Janis Joplin connected to it? What stops us from making meaningful changes in life? What does love have to do with being present? What is connection between limiting beliefs and Higher Consciousness? How can humor can play a role in self-improvement? What happens when you realize your thoughts are not necessarily your best guide to what is true? What wisdom and guidance is to be found in Bill Murry's movie, "Meatballs"?
