In this episode, Wendy speaks with researcher, translator, and Buddhist teacher, Cortland Dahl. Cort's work integrates science, psychology, meditation, and Tibetan Buddhism. This conversation covers many topics, including:
how meditation helped with his social anxiety as a young person;
benefits and challenges in the dialogue between Buddhism and science;
customizing meditation practice in the Healthy Minds app;
understanding the diversity of contemplative practice;
analytical meditation;
meditation as a treatment for mental health problems;
transcending the conceptual mind, and loosening concepts of self;
seeing the limits of science;
looking at well-being through the lens of learning;
the key role of social connection;
and moving forward with intellectual humility (knowing that we don't know).
