How To Create Micro-Moments of Sanity No Matter What's Happening Today | Jay Michaelson

This is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, gang. How are we doing? It is tempting at times to feel a bit selfish or self-indulgent for doing any kind of self-care, including meditation, exercise, you name it, at a time when it feels like the world is on fire.

So today we're going to talk about this tricky balance with a meditation teacher who is not afraid to mix it up. in the uh political arena, as it were. Jay Michelson is not only a deep Dharma practitioner, but he's also a journalist, a rabbi, a novelist, and a former activist. Today he's going to talk about how to use your personal practice as a way to fortify yourself to engage more effectively in the world.
