#15 - Noah Rasheta on Using Buddhism to Become a Better Person

In this episode of the L&P pod, I speak with Noah Rasheta, a Buddhist philosopher, author, and podcaster dedicated to making Buddhist philosophy accessible and practical for everyday life. Noah's podcast, The Secular Buddhism Podcast, shares Buddhist principles and practices that modern people can use to learn, perform, and live more wisely. His book, "No-Nonsense Buddhism for Beginners," breaks down key Buddhist concepts for a Western audience and is an invaluable resource for those seeking to incorporate mindfulness and philosophical insights into their daily routines. In the conversation, Noah and I discuss some basic ideas from Buddhism and ways people from a secular background can leverage Buddhism. Noah enjoys photography, paragliding, volunteering as a school bus driver, and spending time with his wife and kids in Utah.


KEY TOPICS:

In our conversation, Noah and I hit on several topics relevant to learning and performance, including:

  • What is secular Buddhism
  • The Four Noble Truths
  • The difference between pain and suffering
  • Seeing life as a game
  • The power of awareness and attention for learning and performance
  • Common myths and misconceptions about Buddhism and mindfulness
  • Enlightenment as a journey vs. a destination
  • Unlearning as a tool for learning
  • Acknowledging multiple perspectives
  • The Middle Way of optimal performance
  • The power of pausing and returning to the breath
  • Doing things for the sake of it
  • Questioning the judgments and evaluations we make
