Sebene Selassie On: Resiliency, Rewriting Your Patterns and Finding a Teacher Who Speaks to You

About this episode

<p dir="ltr">We're in the midst of an exciting evolution of the overall 10% Happier project. In our quest to make this podcast more actionable – to help you operationalize all the game-changing ideas you encounter on this pod – we're now offering guided meditations to accompany each full episode of the show, available to paid subscribers at <a href="http://danharris.com/">DanHarris.com</a>. For the month of October, those meditations will come from <a href= "http://www.sebeneselassie.com/">Sebene Selassie</a>, a Buddhist teacher in the Insight Meditation tradition. </p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode, you'll hear our executive producer, DJ Cashmere, in conversation with Sebene, who shares her backstory: how she first came to Buddhism and meditation, some of the challenges in her life, and what she hopes to bring to the 10% Happier community this month. </p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> Related Episodes:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.danharris.com/p/sebene-selassie-a-life-of-service-33d?r=4o5o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false"> Sebene Selassie, a Life of Service While Fighting Breast Cancer</a></li> <li dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.danharris.com/p/discomfort-a-counterintuitive-source-ee2?r=4o5o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false"> Discomfort: A Counterintuitive Source of Hope | Sebene Selassie<br /> <br /></a></li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Get ready for another Meditation Party at Omega Institute!
