Which is the best path to freedom? Joseph Goldstein is a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, both in Barre, Massachusetts. He is the author of many books including, most recently, Dreamscapes of the Mind.  Sam Harris is a neuroscientist, author, podcaster and the proprietor of the Waking Up app.  This episode is the first installment of a new series on the Eightfold Path. The rest of the series is available on Waking Up, a top-notch meditation app with amazing teachers and a ton of courses for all levels. If you subscribe via this link: wakingup.com/tenpercent, you'll get a 30-day free trial—and you'll be supporting the 10% Happier team, too. Full and partial scholarships are available. In this episode we talk about: What the term "non-duality" means — and why it matters to ordinary meditators. The multiple meanings of non-duality across Buddhist traditions (Theravāda, Mahāyāna, Vajrayāna). How different traditions (and even different teachers within them) define samsara and nirvana. The non-duality of the observer and observed — and how that insight can alleviate suffering. Whether understanding non-duality is practically relevant for reducing stress and emotional reactivity. The evolution of Buddhist teachings over time and how interpretations differ across countries. Sam's argument that the non-dual view can be directly experienced in everyday consciousness — and that realizing it ends unnecessary suffering. Joseph's emphasis on non-duality as one path among many toward the ultimate goal: the end of suffering. How metaphysics and direct experience intersect, and whether doctrinal differences are "self-confirming." The concept of "non-clinging" as the real heart of Buddhist practice — and how it relates to non-dual awareness.   Related Episodes: How To Suffer Less: Joseph Goldstein, Sam Harris, and Dan Harris on the Buddha's Eightfold Path   Join Dan's online community here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel   Additional Resources:  For a 30-day free trial to the Waking Up app, go to wakingup.com/tenpercent   Tickets are now on sale for a special live taping of the 10% Happier Podcast with guest Pete Holmes!

"We see things not as they are, but as we are." – Immanuel Kant Disillusionment.  Feeling let down when reality doesn't match the dream or ideal you've imagined.  Clinging to how we think things should be instead of meeting life as it is.

The MMQB's Albert Breer joins Afternoon Drive on The Fan. He talks about how Shedeur Sanders' time with the Browns will be remembered in five years, the mistakes the team made with their quarterback room, if Bailey Zappe should be starting against the Raiders, and more.

This Sunday, our honored guest speaker and member Dr. Richard Barnor speaks on how we must be willing to move with God's direction, and that where we are planted spiritually matters. In the right spiritual environment, our gifts and destiny are called forth. Additionally, God's revelation is always unfolding, and we must be willing to move with Him into new seasons. Clinging to past moves or traditions can cause us to miss what God is doing now. Stay hungry, stay flexible, and seek fresh encounters with God's heart and purpose!

Feeling stuck in the unsettling space between who you were and who you're becoming? If you're navigating midlife transitions—whether it's empty nest, perimenopause, aging parents, or shifting identity—this episode of Pleasure in the Pause offers a transformative perspective on living consciously through change.Host Gabriela Espinosa sits down with Ann Tashi Slater to explore the Buddhist concept of "bardo"—the in-between state—as a powerful model for midlife transformation. If you've been resisting change, clinging to what was, or feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty, this conversation reveals how accepting impermanence can actually open the door to deeper peace, creativity, and joy. Discover practical daily practices for meeting life's transitions with awareness instead of resistance, and learn how to live fully awake in the great in-between of midlife.Are you ready to awaken your sensuality and feel more empowered in your body?

She contributes to The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Paris Review, Oprah Daily, Guernica, Granta, and many others. Her speaking engagements include Princeton, Columbia, Oxford, the American University of Paris, and Asia Society. Highlights from our discussion include:Bardo as a midlife model: The Buddhist concept of bardo—the in-between state—perfectly describes midlife when we're no longer who we were but not yet who we're becoming.Acceptance unlocks action: True acceptance doesn't mean giving up—it allows meaningful action. We must acknowledge reality before we can move forward through any transition.Resistance causes suffering: It's not change itself that threatens us, but our resistance to it. Clinging to what was creates additional suffering on top of natural grief.Practice noticing transitions: Build comfort with impermanence by observing daily beginnings and endings—the start and end of each day, changing seasons, how you've evolved over time.This week, notice one beginning and one ending in your day. Then ask yourself: If things could be exactly as I wanted, what would my life look like? Remember—wanting to be happy isn't selfish, it's human.If you're seeking to reclaim your pleasure and vitality, join Gabriella at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pleasureinthepause.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this enlightening journey into the heart of female pleasure and empowerment.CONNECT WITH ANN TASHI SLATER:Traveling In BardoWebsiteCONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! Go to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

Human beings walk around with a fishbowl over their head full of thoughts about themselves. Instead of naturally processing outside experiences as they come in, we trap the ones we can't handle inside this bowl. These stored impressions distort our perception and generate endless preferences about what should or shouldn't be happening. True spirituality is about letting each experience pass through fully processed—whether joyful or painful—without clinging. When no longer distracted by these stored impressions, one enters a state of openness, equanimity, and ecstatic unity with all of creation. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer.

Episode 237: It's not Job Hugging – it's Desperate ClingingIn this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson tackles the trending phenomenon of “job hugging,” a term she finds deeply misleading. She unpacks why so many employees are clinging to jobs out of economic fear, not affection, and highlights the costly impact of disengagement on both organizations and individuals. Dr. Janel argues for calling this behavior what it truly is: desperate clinging in uncertain times. You'll learn why language matters in the workplace, where responsibility lies for this trend, and actionable steps leaders and individuals can take to create workplaces people choose to stay in rather than cling to out of fear.Find show notes at https://janelanderson.com/237#UXthinking #UX #jobhugging #communication #employeeengagement #jobmarket #economy #jobhopping #employeeexperience #futureofwork

“If you have a fear of failure, you won't launch.” - Brad BergmooserWelcome to episode 220 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your hosts, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com, and Jill Nowacki, President and CEO of Humanidei.This episode is sponsored by The Sheeter Group - a leading executive benefits firm that meets your retention and succession needs.

We will have some of the most respected leaders from around credit unions who we are grateful to call friends join us in the discussion from time to time too.In this episode, we welcome Brad Bergmooser, CEO of Financial Plus Credit Union in Michigan. He joins us to discuss one of the most important aspects of being an effective leader—adaptability. Adaptability is shown to be crucial not just for leaders, but for entire organizations, and we explore how credit unions need to be "fast followers" to keep up with demands for instant, personalized service. Clinging to the "way we've always done it" is a recipe for getting left behind!Listen as Brad shares how he has embraced change and disruption to create an exciting, fast-paced environment that attracts top talent to the credit union industry. We dig into the difference between reacting to change vs. proactively adapting to it, and Brad provides examples of how he has developed adaptable leaders on his team by giving them assignments outside of their comfort zones, ultimately building their "muscle memory" for taking on uncertainty.We also discuss the challenges of leading teams through rapid change and how some leaders struggle with the loss of control that can sometimes come with the territory of being adaptable, and Brad highlights the importance of surrounding yourself with experts who can fill the gaps in your own knowledge, rather than trying to be the all-knowing CEO.We ultimately offer some insights for aspiring leaders into how to foster adaptability in themselves and in their teams, with key traits including embracing failure as a learning opportunity, maintaining confidence while also being vulnerable, and constantly putting yourself in uncomfortable situations to build that crucial adaptability muscle!

Together, let's explore the profound terrain of jhāna—a Pali term meaning “meditative absorption”—and how equanimity emerges as a central force in its deepest stages. These states of deep concentration are not just about peace or bliss, but about arriving at a radical stillness where distractions dissolve and the mind becomes clear, unwavering, and impartial. We delve into: ·       The progression through the jhānas, especially the third and fourth, where equanimity becomes dominant. ·       The distinction between physical and mental sensations, and how their transcendence reveals the purity of mindfulness. ·       The concept of the equanimity of purification, a mental quality that stills all opposition and polishes the mind to a bright, imperturbable clarity. ·       How mindfulness and equanimity work in tandem to support awakening—and how these factors were central in the Buddha's own path to enlightenment. Whether you're a longtime practitioner or just beginning your meditation journey, this episode offers both a practical and philosophical guide to understanding equanimity—not as detachment, but as luminous balance.

Clinging means your happiness depends on this certain thing. Repulsion means your unhappiness is guaranteed by a certain thing.  But when any single thing will either give you happiness or unhappiness, that thing or that person is in charge.

On The Patrick Madrid Show, a caller named Jared voices a concern shared by many Catholics today: could the Church ever change her teaching on homosexuality? With so many voices online casting doubt, Jared – himself a convert – wonders if he had put his trust in something that might shift under pressure. Patrick Madrid responds with clarity and conviction: the Church’s teaching on sexual morality has been consistent for 2,000 years and will never change. From the words of Jesus to the writings of St. Paul and the unbroken witness of the Church Fathers, the truth about chastity, purity of heart, and God’s plan for human love remains constant. While individuals may push for compromise, their opinions cannot overturn what Christ Himself established. Patrick reminds you that human nature hasn’t changed. The temptations of lust, pride, and rebellion existed 1,000 years ago just as they do today. Yet the Church stands firm, built on the rock of Christ’s promise that the “gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Even in times of scandal, upheaval, or confusion, the truth remains unshaken. If you're feeling anxiety or fear, Patrick encourages you to focus less on what dissenting voices say and more on living faithfully. We can't control how others act, but we can only be responsible for our own decisions. He urges you to stay close to the sacraments, pray the Rosary, and trust Jesus’ promise that His Church will endure. As he put it, “If you stick with Jesus, you stay in the truth, you persist... everything is going to be okay. Jesus said so, and I believe it.” Patrick recommends Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacques Philippe, a book that helps you find peace and trust in God, even when storms rage around you. His message is clear: truth does not bend to culture, and the Catholic Church will never change her teaching on homosexuality – because it is the teaching of Christ Himself.

Delve into the concept of equanimity as articulated by the ancient Buddhist scholar Buddhaghosa in his seminal work, the Visuddhimagga. Explore three distinct types of equanimity: equanimity as a feeling, equanimity about insight, and equanimity as specific neutrality. Through this exploration, Margaret discusses practical meditation techniques and mental exercises that cultivate a balanced and neutral approach to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Ultimately, the aim is to reduce suffering by steering clear of extreme emotional reactions. ·       Equanimity as a Feeling: Discover how to identify different feelings—pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral—and learn to adopt a stance of neutrality that allows you to experience these feelings without clinging to them or reacting with aversion. ·       Equanimity About Insight: Margaret shares the importance of practicing non-attachment to the insights gained during meditation. By utilizing mantras like "It might not be, and it might not be mine," practitioners can let go of the tendency to cling to experiences, fostering deeper insight and understanding. ·       Equanimity as Specific Neutrality: Explore how maintaining a balanced mental state helps prevent excessive partiality. This form of equanimity encourages a middle path, promoting mental clarity and calmness. The conversation centers around the ultimate aspiration of reducing suffering through a balanced and impartial state of consciousness, emphasizing the importance of equanimity in daily life.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Compassion Without Clinging"

Sometimes life hands you a cactus. And instead of just holding it… we sit right on it.We replay the moment. We stew in the frustration. We keep fighting what already happened — and all it does is make us suffer more.But here's the truth: You don't have to love what happened. You don't even have to like it.But the sooner you stop fighting reality, the sooner you get your power back.In this episode, we're talking about why holding onto things keeps you stuck, how to shift into “ready to feel better” mode, and a few practical ways to move forward without numbing out with food or old habits.It's not about ignoring your feelings. It's about working with them in a way that actually helps you.*Tried every diet out there and nothing sticks?Imagine having a coach checking in on you EVERY day—keeping you on track and adapting your plan to whatever life throws your way.A personalized, 1:1 coaching program designed just for you can really change the game.➤ https://www.mybodytutor.com/coaching/weight-lossWhy don't we talk and see if we're a good fit for each other? Let's set up a chat.➤ https://www.mybodytutor.com/book-a-callWhat've you got to lose?

Anne Frank once wrote, “No one has ever become poor from giving.” In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how the universe itself is designed to train us to give—first through external acts of sacrifice and service, and ultimately by offering the heart. Through the lens of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and the Bhagavad-gītā's peace formula (5.29), they unpack why we are born to give, not to possess, and how life's tapas transforms into joy when directed as seva. Key Highlights * Born to Give (not to hoard): generosity as the soul's natural state. * The Peace Formula (BG 5.29): nothing is mine; everything offered; the Divine is your best friend—goodbye anxiety. * Clinging = anxiety: the more we hold, the more we fear losing—until devotion reveals what truly remains. * Life as tapas: work, family, and projects become spiritual practice when consciously offered.

Are your assumptions about your construction business still valid—or are they silently holding you back from further growth and success?   In today's episode, we uncover how outdated thinking—even from a wildly successful company like DeBeers, present in both construction and diamond mining—can destroy long-term performance. We explore Peter Drucker's “Theory of the Business” and to show how your unexamined assumptions about your market, mission, and core strengths could be holding your team back.    Whether you're facing resistance to change or struggling to lead better, this episode gives you a real-time case study about the clarity needed to lead with strategy and decisive action, not reaction.   In this episode you will:    Learn how to test and evolve your assumptions before your strategy becomes obsolete. Discover how to evaluate the risks and opportunities that new technology presents in uncertain times. Walk away with a simple framework to align your leadership with a fast-changing construction environment.   Hit play to learn how to avoid the hidden traps that have brought down giants—and future-proof your construction business starting today.    This episode is brought to you by The Simple Sales Pipeline® —the most efficient way to organize and value any construction sales rep's roster of customers and prospects in under 30 minutes once every 30 days. *** If you enjoyed this podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Anne Frank once wrote, “No one has ever become poor from giving.” In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how the universe itself is designed to train us to give—first through external acts of sacrifice and service, and ultimately by offering the heart. Through the lens of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and the Bhagavad-gītā's peace formula (5.29), they unpack why we are born to give, not to possess, and how life's tapas transforms into joy when directed as seva. Key Highlights * Born to Give (not to hoard): generosity as the soul's natural state. * The Peace Formula (BG 5.29): nothing is mine; everything offered; the Divine is your best friend—goodbye anxiety. * Clinging = anxiety: the more we hold, the more we fear losing—until devotion reveals what truly remains. * Life as tapas: work, family, and projects become spiritual practice when consciously offered. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.11.1-11 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!

We want people to get what they deserve. At the same time, of course, we want God's grace in our lives. How do we pray for both with integrity? In this episode of Live the Bible, the book of Nahum reminds us that only our wise God knows how to balance both—and to help us do the same.Support the show

When nothing seems to be working despite all your effort, the secret may not be doing more, it may be letting go. Discover how loosening your grip allows space for guidance, clarity, and miracles to flow in. Sometimes life throws us into seasons where no matter how much effort we put in, nothing seems to move forward. I've been there, and recently I had to remind myself of the power of letting go. Clinging tightly can feel like control, but it often keeps us from receiving the answers and blessings we need. In this episode, I share tools and perspectives that helped me loosen my grip and trust that life is unfolding exactly as it should. Action Plan: - Notice where you're gripping too tightly: Pay attention to areas in your life where you feel white-knuckled and overly controlling. - Try visualization tools: Use a balloon or shelf visualization to release what isn't yours to control. - Create a trust archive: Write down past experiences where letting go brought the outcome you needed. - Practice physical release: Open your hands, breathe deeply, and affirm “I release this. It is handled.” - Journal for clarity: Ask yourself what you're still trying to control and what it would feel like to trust deeply right now. More from Megan YouTube | Website |  Instagram
