Amanda Knox On: Finding Meaning in Tragedy, Not Needing an Apology, and Refusing to Own What Other People Think

Hello everybody, welcome to the 10% happier podcast. I'm your host, Dan Harris. If you're watching, you'll see that the backdrop is a little different today. I'm in what I'm uh semi-facetiously calling 10% happier east, which is uh my wife's family's beach house in Montauk on the easternmost tip of Long Island. Anyway, let's get to the actual episode.

I don't know about you. And I think this is just unavoidable. We all go through shit in our lives. And the question is, how are you going to deal with it? As my longtime uh friend and meditation teacher, Joseph Goldstein, likes to say, don't waste your suffering.

But here's the thing. Speaking personally, I often waste my suffering. I I uh just kind of revert to rumination or s or regret or resignation. So I'm really interested to talk to somebody who's had no small amount of involuntary suffering in her life, by which I mean suffering imposed on her.
