Today Commander Divine talks to Tim Desmond about mindfulness, meditation and self-compassion. Tim is a psychotherapist, author, teacher and long time student of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.  His most recent book, "How to Stay Human in a F*cked-Up World: Mindfulness Practices for Real Life," shows us that by relating to life's ever present pain with compassion, wisdom and joy we have a chance to experience happiness. Tim dives into ways to bridge the ancient tradition of mindfulness and the challenges of modern life. Hear how: We need to remember to pay attention to the things that are important enough to take up your life People need to treat every moment like something that matters - don't allow yourself to spend your time on unimportant things. We may often think of providing compassion for others, but we often won't give any to ourselves. Listen in for an in-depth and very practical view of how mindfulness and meditation can work for you.
