It's filled with racing thoughts, ancient neuroses and grudges, revenge fantasies… So why are we like this and what can be done about it? Today, we’re talking to one of our favorite people and also one of the most prominent meditation teachers in the West, Joseph Goldstein, about how “ridiculous” our minds are – that’s a word he uses a lot to describe the mind – and some really compelling ways to train the mind. Spoiler: having a sense of humor is crucial here. Just by way of context: this is the first in a series of episodes with Joseph, focusing on the phrases he uses while he’s teaching Buddhism and meditation. Dan and Joseph are collaborating on a book that will be a compilation of these phrases and how to use them. This book won't be out for several years, but as Dan conducts a series of interviews with Joseph, we’ll release them here on the podcast. There’s another part coming out this Sunday, January 4th.
