In this Mindful Life Special I talk to Sharon Salzberg, a meditation pioneer, world-renowned teacher, and New York Times bestselling author. Sharon was among the first to bring mindfulness meditation to mainstream American culture fifty years ago, inspiring generations of meditation teachers and wellness influencers.
A co-founder of The Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, Sharon is the author of thirteen books, including the New York Times bestseller, Real Happiness, now in its second edition, and her seminal work, Lovingkindess. Sharon’s popular podcast, The Metta Hour, has amassed six million downloads and features interviews with thought leaders from the mindfulness movement and beyond.In our conversation, I asked Sharon to share wisdom from her practice, how she perceives the benefits of mindfulness and what self-compassion means to her. We discussed books, poems, songs and much more. So sit back and tune in to this Mindful Life Special.
