Stop Being Hijacked By Anxiety, Grief, and Anger — A Buddhist Approach | Sebene Selassie & Jeff Warren

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, everybody. Today we're going to talk about how to tame some of the more unruly aspects of your mind, your tendency to live on autopilot. to constantly distract yourself and to make yourself miserable by comparing yourself to other people.

And more, why are you so often at war with reality, wanting to be elsewhere or otherwise? In essence, my guests are going to talk today about how to develop a different relationship to your mind with all of its skittering thoughts and unhelpful patterns. Said guests are the great meditation teachers and great friends, Sebane Selassie and Jeff Warren. Seb is the author of an awesome book called You Belong. She's based in Brooklyn, New York.

Seb and I recently uh co-authored and co-recorded an audio book, an audible original called Even You Can Meditate. Jeff and I also co-authored a book called Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. Jeff is based in Canada. And he's got his own podcast called The Mind Bod Adventure Pod. The conversation you're about to hear was recorded live at our annual meditation party retreat.
