In this episode, John Philip Newell returns to the School for Good Living Podcast to discuss his latest book, The Great Search: Turning to Earth and Soul in the Search for Healing and Home. John Philip, a leading Celtic teacher and spiritual guide, offers deep insights into the spiritual longings of the modern world, especially in light of the growing sense of religious exile experienced by many today.
John Philip speaks on the urgent need for healing in our relationship with the Earth and one another, as well as the quest for a deeper sense of home—not just in a physical sense, but in a profound spiritual connection with both the Earth and the human soul. His reflections on spiritual exile, the deep yearning for divine experience, and the wisdom of past teachers are woven throughout this thoughtful conversation.
In this interview, John Philip and Brilliant discuss:
- The Great Search and its focus on spiritual yearnings during times of transition
- The concept of “religious exile” and how many people are spiritually disaffected, either by leaving or by staying in religious traditions that no longer resonate
- The role of psychedelics in modern spiritual exploration and how they fit into the broader quest for a direct experience of the divine
- Healing and Home as the central themes of John Philip's book and how they address humanity’s brokenness and longing for rootedness
- The teachers who shaped John Philip's journey and how they continue to transmit wisdom for today's spiritual seekers
John Philip also shares personal reflections on his own spiritual journey, including his decision to "give back" his ordination as a Christian minister, and how this decision relates to the spiritual reawakening he sees happening worldwide.

Neal Allen is a spiritual coach and a speaker whose chief concern is removing obstacles of the ego. Neal has written a book called Better Days: Tame Your Inner Critic, the subject of most of our conversation here today. This is Neal’s second time on the School for Good Living podcast after our first conversation about his book called Shapes of Truth: Discover God Inside You.
In this interview on the School for Good Living Podcast, Neal joins me to talk about our inner critic. Sometimes Neal refers to it as a parasite. You might call it your conscience or your superego. But Neal distinguishes that it is not you. It's a part of you. He talks about how it forms, what its purpose is, and how we can live healthier, happier lives when we learn to manage our inner critic and make space for our authentic self. We also talk about how we can live with less anxiety, have more fulfilling relationships, and be more content more often. In this conversation, Neal also shares what he learned from a six-month experiment he conducted in his own life where he said yes to every opportunity, invitation, and request that was made to him and what he learned from it.
“It’s not necessary to seek for love, only to find and remove the obstacles we’ve built against it.”
– Neal Allen

Pamela Seelig is the author of “Threads of Yoga: Themes, Reflections, and Meditations to Weave into Your Practice.” It’s a guide for students and teachers inspired by the yoga sutras. Pam is someone who began her yoga journey more than twenty-five years ago when an illness interrupted her Wall Street career. She began meditating as a complementary therapy with startling results. Along with speeding up her recovery, the impact of her meditation led to a lifelong pursuit of perceiving and sharing yoga wisdom. Pam eventually trained at Integral Yoga Institute in New York and began teaching to friends at a local convent in New Jersey until 2009 when she opened her own studio called Lotus Mind and Body. After a rewarding nine years, she sold the studio to focus on writing this book.
In this interview for the School for Good Living Podcast, Pam joins Brilliant Miller to talk about a lot of things related to living well, yogic philosophy, and energy. We talk about the witness, cultivating a deeper relationship with the observer, quieting the mind, meditation, prana, kundalini, and the chakras. Pam also explains a bit about her writing, creative process, and how she got the book written and published. Pam explains how she has lived a better life by incorporating things both in her book and in this interview and how they can be keys to our own good living.
“That’s what yoga is really about… living a more full life.”
This week on the School for Good Living Podcast:
- Pam’s Journey from a successful career on Wall Street to yogic philosophy
- How Pam and many others have used yoga as a key to good living
- The “witness” and other yogic philosophies uncovered in the book
- How we can regain the energy we spend on holding onto negative feelings
- The power and purpose of breath

163. Dawson Church – Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity, and Joy
Dr. Dawson Church is the author of “Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity, and Joy”. Dawson decided to shift from his successful publishing career because of the great impact that meditation had on his ability to be happy despite some of the catastrophic events he has lived through. Dawson’s many scientific clinical trials have also helped him find many astonishing results in the techniques he uses. Dawson’s work comes from a place of first healing trauma, and then beyond that, achieving elevated states of consciousness, which, of course, is why he’s named his book Bliss Brain. He’s founded the National Institute for Integrative Health Care to promote groundbreaking new treatments. And he’s also founded something called the Veterans Stress Project, which has offered free treatment to over twenty thousand veterans with PTSD over the last 10 years.
In this interview for the School for Good Living Podcast, Dawson joins Brilliant Miller to talk about what’s going on inside our brains and our bodies when we meditate, helping to demystify, make it comprehensible and actionable, and explain some of the benefits of meditation, taking it out of the realm of mysticism and making it very relatable, understandable, and doable. In this interview, Dawson explains and shares many of the ways that he has been able to enhance his own meditation and ultimately how it has become one of his greatest keys to good living.
“By healing yourself, you heal the world.”
This week on the School for Good Living Podcast:
- Healing Trauma: The initial step to reaching elevated states
- Creating oneness with the nonlocal mind
- How Dawson was happy and prosperous despite losing his home, business, and life savings.
- Understanding problems and remaining happy anyway
- Diminishing our negative thinking

What does it mean to live a good life? Over the past few years, I have tried to answer that question by interviewing nearly 200 guests from all walks of life. Each week I invite an author with a unique perspective to share their thoughts on what it means to live a good life. Each guest shares a bit about themselves, the work they do and have done, and most importantly, their Keys to Good Living. These keys not only help us to live better lives, but also to understand ourselves better, to know what we really want, and to become the people we want to be. Despite the great differences in each guest, they are all highly intelligent people who have found what it means personally for them to live a good life and they openly share how we can do the same.
This week on the School For Good Living podcast, we get an inside look at Brilliant Miller, the work he does, why he does it, and the benefits that it could have on your life. If you want to be, do, have, and give more then this podcast is for you. Video podcast interviews are released weekly on YouTube and audio recordings can be found on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, and Spotify.
