The way that we talk to ourselves matters, right? That inner voice we all have. It often goes into the drama triangle or these these patterns that are not helping us. And one of the beautiful things is that in learning mindfulness, you start to actually become conscious of that rather than just repeating the patterns of it. You can see which of these thoughts are healthy and helpful and which of them are unhealthy or destructive.

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.
