In 1991, Philip Keay accidentally emigrated to Thailand, where he accidentally became a teacher. He now devotes his life to exploring the inner and outer worlds and to inspiring others to empower themselves. His book Menu for a Spiritual Revolution, which brings together what Philip has learned over decades of life experience, was published in 2021. In this interview, Philip talks about:

• what brought him to Thailand and what made him stay
• how to embrace life’s ‘accidents’ and live in the moment
• the differences between teaching and learning; leadership and control
• how nurturing self-control advances freedom, reinforces values and reduces fear
• the problems with our current broken schooling model and how we can fix it
