Donald Altman was a fascinating person to chat with. His background is in psychotherapy, he's a former Buddhist monk, and grounded in a lot of research and science that comes through on almost every topic that we discuss together. We talked about:
Being a buddhist monk at the age of 40 and how this formalized his meditation practice How a Cadbury chocolate egg at the monastery taught him a lot about understanding himself What studies show about our mind wandering and our happiness His latest book, Reflect, and how it can be used as it's own meditation practice Reflection vs. rumination The underlying reasons for mindless eating Uncovering the true essence of ourselves How to navigate the seemingly daunting task of facing our past trauma How research has shown the power that gratitude can have in our livesGet Donald's new book, Reflect, by entering promo code DONALD10 when you checkout!
