  • But plz don’t become an alien and bigfoot show

    Been a fan for a long time. Dan’s a great interviewer. The topics are almost always on point. I especially enjoy his conversations with leading Buddhist thinkers.

    I’m leaving this review now because the most recent ep is about aliens and bigfoot… (wtf).

    Please do NOT go down this road!

  • I've been listening to this podcast for a while to get more exposure to meditation and helpful conversations on mental health/dealing with stress. This past year particularly I was in a burnout and this podcasts was my faithful companion in getting myself out of the hole. I appreciate Dan's scepticism as I also lean that way. I especially appreciate that he is inviting experts to talk on the show rather than celebrities as he sometimes did before. I find that much more useful and genuine.

  • Favorite podcast that teaches a lot

    Thank you Dan Harris for a great podcast! I have learned so much over the years and often read the books that they guests have written (if they have written a book about the subject that is). One of my absolute favorite podcasts ever.

  • Annoying

    This is probably the poorest podcast I’ve listened to! I woke up at 5:30 AM and was looking for a positive day and something nice to look forward to. The speaker talks about not believing in to do list, no idea on gratitude journaling and just says it’s okay to write just 3 times a year if needed. And then proceeds to say do what works for you. For someone like me who knows there are methods like todo, gratitude journal and just journaling what’s the point of just saying “do what works for you” ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

For The Lonely, Suffocated, or Overextended: How To Balance Your Relationships When Others Won't Change | Nedra Glover Tawwab
Q: What role does asking for help play in healthy relationships?
Asking for help is essential for belonging; you should be clear about the specific help you need and be prepared to accept that others may help in ways you don't expect.
For The Lonely, Suffocated, or Overextended: How To Balance Your Relationships When Others Won't Change | Nedra Glover Tawwab
Q: How can we avoid having silent agreements ruin our relationships?
By talking openly about what we are willing to do, updating the terms of the relationship, and renegotiating roles before resentment builds.
For The Lonely, Suffocated, or Overextended: How To Balance Your Relationships When Others Won't Change | Nedra Glover Tawwab
Q: What do you mean by the Balancing Act in relationships?
It's about finding harmony between needing others and maintaining your own boundaries, recognizing that we all rely on a wider village rather than expecting one person to fulfill every need.
Resetting Your Nervous System When You're Anxious, Hurting, or Just Powering Through | Johanna Franzel
Q: What are the core practices you discuss for managing the nervous system in daily life?
The core practices start with taking inventory of the body, then moving through a five-senses check, and then inventing a personal resource list. From there, you cultivate presence without scrutiny and develop an inner friend to guide and support you, all grounded in reverence and permission in embodied writing.
Joyful Anyway: Surviving the Sh*t Show of Regular Life | Kate Bowler
Q: What role does the ache or longing play in the pursuit of joy?
The ache can be a constructive engine that signals where deeper relationships and meaning lie; by reframing ache as a guide rather than a deficit, one can refine desires (sanctification) and pursue more satisfying, meaningful experiences.
