This chapter examines the complex relationship between science and meditation, stressing the importance of personal experience over empirical evidence. It discusses the pitfalls of commodifying mindfulness practices and the need to address broader societal issues rather than focusing solely on individual well-being. The speakers also challenge common perceptions of self-compassion and advocate for a more inclusive understanding of meditation that fosters compassion for others.
