Best known for L.A. Law, Clash of the Titans, and currently AMC's Mayfair Witches, Hamlin is also a Yale-educated Jungian, a Shakespearean actor, and the founder of Tri-Alpha Energy \u2014 the first private fusion company in the world. He keeps 350 books on his phone and has spent six decades trying to figure out, in his words, &quot;how to live.&quot; The conversation moves from a dysfunctional Pasadena childhood and a teenage Jesus-freak phase through a head-on collision at nineteen that he shouldn't have survived \u2014 and the sensation of absolute peace he's been chasing ever since. Years later, a chance encounter with Marianne Williamson pointed him to the 365-day practice that would rewire his understanding of reality, fear, and meaning. Hamlin unpacks the book's central provocation \u2014 that nothing outside the mind has meaning of its own \u2014 and points to a single line from Hamlet he says contains the entire book: &quot;There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.&quot; ","author_name":"Books That Changed My Life","author_url":"https:\/\/www.booksthatchangedmylife.org","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/42195460\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/204404270"}
