When you’re gripped by anxiety, fear, grief or dread, how do you escape? It can happen in the span of a few breaths, according to meditation experts Jack Kornfield and Trudy Goodman. They have helped thousands of people find their way out of a mental loop, by moving deeper into it. It's a journey inward that reveals an important lesson for the architects of the attention economy: you cannot begin to build humane technology for billions of users, until you pay careful attention to the course of your own wayward thoughts.

Two of Duncan's favorite spiritual teachers, Trudy Goodman and Jack Kornfield, join the podcast. They discuss the passing of teachers, regression in children, embracing the Witness, the importance of therapy and understanding early caregiving, the healing power of therapy, microdosing THC, and the significance of loving awareness and compassion in meditation.

Hilarious stories from Trudy Goodman and Bonnie Duran on personal understanding, spiritual awakening, and empowerment. Jack Kornfield shares anecdotes about enlightenment, Jesus, and the wisdom of not-knowing. Trudy's lesson on aging, impermanence, and presence. Dealing with uncertainty and learning to trust yourself. Trusting in the unfolding of the Dharma.
