"I never goes three hours or very rarely, but I find that that frees me to be more focused in the moment," he says. "You could do it like careening through the like good new becharker, grabbing trees pretty quickly and at the same time, think about all the other stuff that you have to get done when you get home." He adds: "It's a little bit like being stuck in motel six at night with the shopping channel on ... You can practice this and you start to pay attention to what it's like when you do it in a gracious way"

Author and Buddhist practitioner Jack Kornfield sits down for a candid, in-depth interview to help you suppress self-doubt and find inner calm. Calling on decades of experience as one of the key teachers to introduce Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West, Kornfield offers valuable insights into how to best deal with conflict and stress in your life and how to handle harmful outside influences in healthy, constructive ways. Kornfield trained as a Buddhist monk in the monasteries of Thailand, India and Burma. He has taught meditation internationally since 1974, co-founding the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Mass., and the Spirit Rock Center in Woodacre, California. His books have been translated into 20 languages and sold over a million copies.
