    Podcast Summary

    • Rediscovering the FamiliarThrough meditation, we can reconnect with the world and be fully present in our lives by focusing on the present moment and awakening our senses

      Key takeaway from this episode of 10% Happier is that meditation is about rediscovering the familiar. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced meditator, taking the time to focus on the present moment can help us become more aware of the world around us and our place in it. Pascal Eau Claire, a mentor of Dan Harris and co-founder of True North Insight, guided us through a simple meditation practice. He emphasized the importance of finding a comfortable posture and focusing on the breath or sounds in the environment. By doing so, we can awaken our senses and appreciate the freshness and mystery of each moment. Meditation is not just about clearing the mind, but also about reconnecting with the world and being fully present in our lives.

    • Mindfulness practiceMindfulness practice is about fully experiencing the world around us, appreciating simple things, and practicing through activities like walking, listening, or breathing, with or without closed eyes.

      Meditation is about being fully present and consciously experiencing the world around us. It's not about doing something specific or achieving a particular goal, but rather about appreciating the simple things in life as if for the first time. This can be practiced through activities like walking, listening, or even just breathing, with your eyes open or closed. Try rediscovering the familiar with fresh senses and a curious mindset. For more guided meditations, check out the 10% Happier app. And remember, the more you practice being present, the better you'll feel.

    A Buddhist Recipe for Handling Turmoil | Kaira Jewel Lingo

    A Buddhist Recipe for Handling Turmoil | Kaira Jewel Lingo

    We all know that change is inevitable and impermanence is non-negotiable. But somehow it can feel surprising, maybe even wrong, when we personally hit turbulence. The Buddha had a lot to say about this, and so does our guest. 


    Kaira Jewel Lingo is a Dharma teacher who has a lifelong interest in blending spirituality and meditation with social justice. Having grown up in an ecumenical Christian community where families practiced a new kind of monasticism and worked with the poor, at the age of twenty-five she entered a Buddhist monastery in the Plum Village tradition and spent fifteen years living as a nun under the guidance of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. She received Lamp Transmission from Thich Nhat Hanh and became a Zen teacher in 2007, and is also a teacher in the Vipassana Insight lineage through Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Today she sees her work as a continuation of the Engaged Buddhism developed by Thich Nhat Hanh as well as the work of her parents, inspired by their stories and her dad’s work with Martin Luther King Jr. on desegregating the South. 


    In addition to writing We Were Made for These Times: Skilfully Moving through Change, Loss and Disruption, she is also the editor of Thich Nhat Hanh’s Planting Seeds: Practicing Mindfulness with Children. Now based in New York, she teaches and leads retreats internationally, provides spiritual mentoring, and interweaves art, play, nature, racial and earth justice, and embodied mindfulness practice in her teaching. She especially feels called to share the Dharma with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, as well as activists, educators, youth, artists, and families. Her newest book, co-written with Marisela B. Gomez and Valerie Brown, is  Healing Our Way Home: Black Buddhist Teachings on Ancestors, Joy, and Liberation.


    In this episode we talk about:

    • waking up to what’s happening right now
    • trusting the unknown (easier said than done) 
    • A Buddhist list called the five remembrances 
    • how gratitude helps us in times of disruption
    • And accepting what is (and why this is different from resignation or passivity)


    Please note: There are brief mentions of domestic violence, abuse, the suffering of refugees, and war in this episode.

    The Science of Handling Uncertainty | Maya Shankar

    The Science of Handling Uncertainty | Maya Shankar

    Cognitive scientist Maya Shankar talks about how to get comfortable with uncertainty in an ever-changing world. 

    It seems like a design flaw in our species that we live in a world of constant change yet most of us are not comfortable with uncertainty. 

    In this episode, we talk to Maya Shankar about how to get better at dealing with change and to stop seeking what scientists call “cognitive closure.”

    Shankar is a former Senior Advisor in the Obama White House, where she founded and served as Chair of the White House Behavioral Science Team. She also served as the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations, and is currently a Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google. She is the host of the Pushkin Industries podcast A Slight Change of Plans, which was named Best Show of the Year in 2021 by Apple. 

    In this episode we talk about: 

    • Why humans are so uncomfortable with uncertainty and change
    • What a behavioral scientist actually does in the world
    • Why even the host of a podcast about change isn’t immune to the uncertainties of life 
    • The benefits of cultivating a more malleable sense of self
    • Why humans are such bad forecasters
    • The importance of auditing yourself when you’re undergoing a big change
    • How to take advantage of big reset moments
    • The concept of cognitive closure and why encouraging an open mind can make us more resilient

    Why Your Brain Turns The Miraculous Into The Mundane—And How To Fix It | Maria Popova

    Why Your Brain Turns The Miraculous Into The Mundane—And How To Fix It | Maria Popova

    Smart and practical strategies for living, in Maria's words, wonder-smitten by reality.


    Maria Popova thinks and writes about our search for meaning — sometimes through science and philosophy, sometimes through poetry and children's books, always through the lens of wonder. She is the creator of The Marginalian (born in 2006 under the name Brain Pickings), which is included in the Library of Congress permanent digital archive of culturally valuable materials, author of Figuring, and maker of the live show The Universe in Verse — a charitable celebration of the wonder of reality through stories of science winged with poetry, which is now also a book.



    In this episode we talk about:


    • Wonder as a tool for improving all of your relationships
    • The tyranny of the word should
    • How the hardest thing in life is not getting what you want, it's knowing what you want
    • Why she doesn't believe in making meditation a tool, even though she's been practicing for 14 years
    • The illusion of certainty
    • The immense value of intellectual humility
    • Strategies for outgrowing your old habits
    • Her new book, The Universe in Verse, which is a combination of science and poetry


    From The Marginalian: How to Love the World More: George Saunders on the Courage of Uncertainty

    From Wild Card with Rachel Martin: Taylor Tomlinson

    From Wild Card with Rachel Martin: Taylor Tomlinson

    There’s a great podcast we want to introduce you to today, hosted by our friend Rachel Martin at NPR. It’s her new show, called Wild Card, which she describes as “part-interview, part-existential game show.” It’s a different way of approaching a celebrity interview, with a special deck of cards that helps shape the conversation. It’s a really fun show, and she talks to some really big names, including David Lynch, LeVar Burton, Issa Rae, and US Poet Laureate Ada Limon. 

    Rachel was also a guest on this very podcast recently, and we had a great conversation and even played a little bit of the card game, so go back in your podcast feed and check that out. You can also listen to it here. 

    The Wild Card episode we’re sharing with you today features Taylor Tomlinson, who has found the kind of success many comedians dream about, with multiple Netflix specials and a late-night hosting gig — After Midnight on CBS. She tells Rachel that part of the secret to her success is fear. They also swap stories about their Christian upbringings, the search for validation and getting things stuck up their noses.

    So enjoy this episode, and check out Wild Card wherever you find your podcasts.
