In this powerful episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya sits down with Dean Patrick\u2014former Stanford student, crypto hedge fund founder, and author of God Money. Dean opens up about his dramatic fall from financial success into drug-induced psychosis, and how that collapse became the unlikely gateway to spiritual awakening. He shares how Zen Buddhism, radical self-inquiry, and the simplicity of breathwork helped him find meaning beyond money, control, and ego. If you're navigating a dark moment, this conversation offers grounded wisdom and a way through.\n\nAbout the Guest:\nDean Patrick is the author of God Money: Lost and Found in the Crypto Wilderness. Once a rising star in Silicon Valley's finance scene, Dean faced a severe collapse after addiction and the crypto crash derailed his career. Today, he is a Zen practitioner, writer, and speaker dedicated to exploring spiritual sobriety, self-forgiveness, and conscious healing.\n\nKey Takeaways:\n\n\nTrue healing begins when we stop chasing control and start accepting impermanence.\n\n\nAddiction often stems from self-induced suffering and the illusion of separation.\n\n\nZen meditation isn\u2019t an escape\u2014it\u2019s a return to presence and wholeness.\n\n\nSelf-forgiveness is essential for sustained recovery and personal peace.\n\n\nBreath is the most accessible and powerful tool to reconnect with the present moment.\n\n\n\nConnect with Dean A.
