10% Happier With Dan Harris

New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers. --- It's always a big deal when we get the maestro Joseph Goldstein on the show. He's one of the greatest living meditation teachers—and we cover a lot of ground in this conversation both related to meditation and to life. This is the third installment in a series we've been running this month on the Eightfold Path. If you missed the first two episodes, don't worry. Joseph starts our conversation with a brief description and explanation of this pivotal Buddhist list. The list is basically a recipe for living a good life. In this episode we talk about:   How to strike a balance between trying too hard and trying too little in meditation How to handle your doubts about whether you're meditating correctly What the Buddhists really mean when they say “let it go”  What Joseph means when he says, don't waste your suffering Why he uses the word ridiculous so much to describe the way our minds work
