It's the Ten Percent Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello. How we doing? One of the most common questions I get

especially from subscribers over on my sub stack is How do I go deeper into meditation? Specifically, how do I learn more about Buddhism? What is Buddhism exactly? What are the fundamental concepts? And how do I fit it into my everyday life? Up until now I've not had a great answer. There are some books I like, of course, but especially in audio, there really hasn't been an easy solution. for an on ramp to Buddhism. Now though

I have an excellent answer at the ready. Over on the Waking Up app. They just posted a four part conversation, roughly eight hours in audio. Featuring Joseph Goldstein, the eminent Buddhist teacher. Sam Harris, the neuroscientist, author, and podcaster who is the proprietor of the Waking Up app.
