I'm on the receiving end of the question. What you're about to hear Is an event that was recorded live at the ninety second street Y wire. I was interviewed. uh by the journalist Allison Gilbert. We talk about why meditation still has a PR problem. Why self help?

without thinking about other people is just selfish. How I personally cope with my panic disorder. And sometimes take stairs instead of the elevator. the case for a loving kindness practice, even though it can feel A little cheesy.
