On the next episode of The MisFitNation with host Rich LaMonica, we welcome Bob Martin. Bob's story is not a common one. He has had a diverse career and spiritual journey, including being a criminal trial attorney, social worker, therapist, professor, and mindfulness teacher. He has also been a columnist and happiness coach, exploring different religions such as Taoism, Buddhism, and Christianity. The anecdotes and experiences he has at his fingertips add color and excitement to the journey of his new book. The person who follows the way of Jesus or the Tao will live a practical, productive, meaningful, and contented life. Bob knows this to be true because this has been his journey. He is an active 70+-year-old cheerful man who enjoys close relationships with his second wife, his children, her children, and his two dogs. Bob has had his share of trauma and battled his demons. Growing up selling cotton candy and hot dogs in amusement parks, his parents were Eastern European immigrants—Hungarian royalty on one side and Roma Gypsy on the other. The Bolsheviks slaughtered the royals, and, well, everybody slaughtered the Romas. So, his parents concluded that there could not be a God, and his family was atheist. Even so, his father required him to attend children's Sunday School because "We are Americans, and you must know the Bible stories.” Bob thought Old Testament stories were like fairy tales, but Jesus' unconditional love amazed him, and he never forgot it. He was a chubby boy, bullied by boys and laughed at by girls. His parents were all business and not very affectionate. He never developed a sense of "hometown" as the family traveled so much. He could have gone under. Check out Bob Here: https://iamthewaybook.com/ 🇺🇸 A Call to Action: Your support is crucial to keep The MisFitNation moving forward.
