How To Handle Constant Exhaustion (Without Blaming Yourself) | Jay Michaelson

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey gang. Here's a question. Do you feel constantly exhausted?

Not just underslept, although many of us feel that too, myself included, but also generally fried. Today we're going to hear from my friend Jay Michelson, an incredible meditation teacher, author, lawyer, and more, about how to deal with this general sense of fatigue. being frazzled. Jay's got tons of practical strategies and not just the obvious stuff. We get into self compassion, which he takes beyond mere cliche or bland exhortation.

We talk about the disutility of feeling shame about using modern technological devices, which most of us need. We talk about something called micro naps, and then something I had never heard of called brain machines. By the way, Jay is our teacher of the month over on 10% with Dan Harris, my new meditation app. That means he's crafting guided meditations for the app and also participating in some of our weekly live meditation and Q<unk>A sessions, which we do every Tuesday at four and you should join us.
