Buddhist Hacks for Anxiety and Overthinking | Joseph Goldstein

Sobre este episodio

<p dir="ltr">Today we're gonna talk about some Buddhist hacks for two deeply related and all too common ailments: anxiety and overthinking. Most of us have struggled with one or both of these, and one of the people who has helped Dan the most is <strong>Joseph Goldstein</strong>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Regular listeners to this podcast will be familiar with Joseph and his very direct, very down-to-earth style, but if you don't know – let us introduce you. He's one of the foremost Buddhist teachers in the west, he's been Dan's teacher for about 15 years, and Dan's recently convinced him to write a book together, using a collection of these little phrases that he's cooked up over the years. Dan's been keeping a list of around a hundred or so tiny, useful phrases – bite-sized wisdom for meditation practice and for daily life. The book won't be out for a few years, but we're conducting a series of interviews with him, each one covering a few phrases, and we'll be releasing those here on the podcast. </p> <p dir="ltr">The first installment of these interviews about Joseph's phrases just came out on Thursday, Jan. 1, and you don't have to listen to that episode for this episode to make sense, but they are useful together. </p> <p dir="ltr">Today, we'll be covering: </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The practice assessment tapes</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Whatever works</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Cowboy Dharma</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Dead end</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Is this useful</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">And a quartet about walking meditation: sensations moving through space, walking through space, walking in a dream, walking through the mind</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Don't worry if those don't make sense right now – stick with us and you'll get a thorough explanation of where those phrases all come from and how they can help. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Get the 10% with Dan Harris app <a href= "https://app.danharris.com/membership">here</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Sign up for Dan's free newsletter <a href= "http://www.danharris.com/">here</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Follow Dan on social: <a href= "https://bit.ly/3tGigG5">Instagram</a>, <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FOA84J">TikTok</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Subscribe to our <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FybRzD">YouTube Channel</a></p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Thanks to our sponsor:<br /> LinkedIn:  Spend $250 on your first campaign on LinkedIn ads and get a $250 credit for the next one.
