Over the last couple months I have loved immersing myself in the relatable teaches of Scott Snibbe his esteemed guest. The conversations and monologues are always thought provoking and give practical tips on how to embody buddist teachings including compassion, equanimity, universality and loving joy. I am so grateful for this podcast.
Listening to this podcast has changed my life for the better. Being mindful is so important to my every day now.
A brilliant podcast about Buddhism and meditation. Scott speaks to some of the most interesting and distinguished scholars and scientists whose research tackles aspects of our inner worlds. Scott’s a warm and friendly guide and super-knowledgable himself which allows the interviews to have a really nice conversational feel to them. Loads of great meditations too!!!
Scott approaches his talks and mediations in such a relatable way. I have found them incredibly helpful in challenging my old thought patterns and reducing anxiety. I’ve listened to all of his episodes more than once. I’m so appreciative of this resource.
I so wanted to listen to Kiri Westby but she ended so many of her facts with a question mark, e.g., "Then the Chinese police came to raid us?" Did they raid you or no? Of course I realized her tonal question marks were meant to be factual but IMPOSSIBLE to listen to for ANY length of time. Sad bc I'm sure it was an interesting interview

Episodes broaden practical mind-training techniques beyond simple mindfulness, weaving in philosophy, compassion, and real-world applications—from climate futures to inner equanimity.
