---

One of the most prominent western meditation teachers talks about how to take gauzy concepts and operationalize them in your actual life.

A towering figure in the meditation world, Sharon Salzberg is a prominent teacher & New York Times best-selling author. She has played a crucial role bringing mindfulness and lovingkindness practices to the West.

Sharon co-founded the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) alongside Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield and is the author of nine books, including Lovingkindness, Real Happiness, and the most recent Finding Your Way: Meditations, Thoughts, and Wisdom for Living an Authentic Life. Sharon lives in New York City and teaches around the world.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What Sharon means by "an authentic life"
  • Learning to be your own BFF
  • How the notion of self-love squares with the Buddhist notion of emptiness
  • Why it can be harder to receive love and help than to give it
