Season 2 Episode 11: How to be an Adult, with David Richo
I first encountered David Richo’s work many years ago, amidst a period of my life where I was, admittedly, not much of a functioning adult. Crippled by fear and self doubt and seemingly unable to offer consistent presence to the people in my lives, I ordered his book, ‘How to be an Adult’ praying that there would be something sacred within its pages. I was far from disappointed.
I can credit his writings (I went on to devour and apply the principles offered in many more of his works!) with some of the most significant shifts in my relational abilities and understanding of self, and I was overjoyed that he was willing to come on to the show to have a conversation.
I’ll let the episode speak for itself, but we explore some of the core principles of his first book, why seeking ‘safety’ is a tricky subject and how we might expand that pursuit, and a bit of his personal journey into this work.
