Jeff Warren is a former journalist and more recently is a researcher, writer, and teacher of meditation and personal growth practices. His most recent book, written with Dan Harris, is called, Meditation for Fidgitty Skeptics: A 10% Happier How to Book. Jeff is a likable, relatable guy who carries a lot of practical wisdom in his conversational style of communicating. If you've ever felt like you're not good at meditating or that meditation just isn't for you because your brain never turns off, this interview is for you because that's how Jeff would describe himself, particularly at the beginning of his practice years ago. We all know that meditation is good for us but for many, it just feels inaccessible and out of reach. If that is how you feel, what Jeff has to share in this interview will make that gap shrink in size so much so that you can hop right over it and try again.

In This Interview, Jeff Warren and I Discuss...
The Wolf Parable
His book with Dan Harris, Meditation for Fidgitty Skeptics: A 10% Happier How to Book
The role of meditation in living with depression
The voice in our heads
Not identifying with the voices in our heads
Coming out of the conversation in our heads
The idea of "I can't meditate"
Thinking we're supposed to stop thinking when we meditate
Changing the relationship with your thoughts
Focusing on an anchor, getting lost in thought, realizing you're lost in thought and coming back to your anchor = mediation
How quick we are to conclude that meditation isn't for us
That meditation is a practice
Celebrating the coming back from thought in meditation
Training affability during meditation
Finding enjoyment and curiosity during meditation
 Asking "What's the attitude in my mind right now?" during meditation
That attitude is what you're training during meditation
Looking at the world with interest
Equanimity = a lack of pushing and pulling on experience
Opening to experience so that there's no friction
When everything has permission to express its self fully
