Good Conflict | Amanda Ripley | An Episode From "On Being"

<p>Today we are dropping down our feed a conversation that I listened to recently that had a huge impact on me. It's from a great show that I'm sure many of you have heard of, <a href= "https://onbeing.org/series/podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Being with Krista Tippett</a>. It's been around for decades, and it explores the question of what it means to be human, how to do life better, how to live with each other in complex times.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Krista Tippett is a recent friend of mine, somebody who I have long admired and really, like – she was on the show just recently. They've got a new season of their show going right now, over on the On Being feed, which I highly recommend you check out. They're doing episodes on the intelligence of the human body, what AI might be calling us to as human beings, and much more. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>They've also got a 20 year archive of conversations with people like Mary Oliver, John O'Donohue, and Desmond Tutu, which is pretty extraordinary. And this conversation, which, as I mentioned earlier, has had a big impact on me seems unfortunately quite relevant. It's about conflict and how to do it right: the difference between healthy conflict, which is an unavoidable part of life, and high conflict, which we see all around us these days, but which is avoidable.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p>

Nirvana | Joseph Goldstein

<p><em>New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.</em></p> <p>---</p> <p>Nirvana is a culturally confusing and freighted term. It's the name of the best rock band of the 1990s and also the name of smoothie joints, vape stores and yoga studios. There's a vape place near me called Nirvana. </p> <p>Nirvana's been fully co-opted and sometimes corrupted by the culture… and yet it is also the clearly stated goal of the Buddha's teaching. So what does it really mean?</p> <p>We cover all of that today in what is an experimental episode for us. Not only because the topic is so unusual, but also because this is our first podcast recording of a live show. We recorded this at the Armory in Boston in front of a sold out crowd who did not know in advance that premier teacher Joseph Goldstein would be the guest.
