How to Train a Happy Mind Healing America's Racial Karma with Larry Ward [Memorial]
This rebroadcast episode is in honor of the recent passing of Dr. Larry Ward. May his wisdom live on.
***
Scott talks with Dr. Larry Ward, a student of Thich Nhat Hanh, and author of America's Racial Karma. His book is about how we heal from the trauma of racism, not just as a society, but in our own minds and bodies. In our conversation, Dr. Ward shares a profound truth: racism is a fiction, but one with very real consequences, and it lives not only in the structures of our society, but in our thoughts, our speech, and our nervous systems.
