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).
