How Norm came to this work
What inspired the new book, Better in Every Sense
Why people are languishing
The Default Mode Network versus Sensory Network
The positives of the “house of habit,” aka DMN

The conversation closes with a meditation breathing practice led by Zindel. You can learn more about Zindel and Norm’s book Better in Every Sense, right here. You can also check out Zindel’s first appearance on the Metta Hour Podcast from 2020 in Episode 144.
