Working With a Brain That Doesn't Behave | Jeff Warren

This is the 10% Happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. If you've ever tried to meditate and thought, you know what? My brain is too messy, too busy, too distracted for this, well, then today's episode is for you. Our guest is my great friend, Jeff Warren. He's an amazing meditation teacher. We wrote a book together called Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. He's also one of the funniest and most refreshingly honest people in the meditation space. Jeff is our teacher of the month over on danharris.com for the month of December. That means he'll be crafting custom guided meditations to go with each of our full length Monday, Wednesday episodes. Plus, he'll be hosting some live sessions over on Zoom. We do those live sessions every Tuesday at 4PM Eastern. Jeff has lived through some wild stuff, including a life changing accident and later some very difficult diagnoses of ADHD and also bipolar. But instead of running from his own mind, he has spent decades learning how to work with it. I have watched him do a lot of this work up close. That's very impressive. So what you're about to hear is a conversation between Jeff and the executive producer of the show, DJ Cashmere. In it, you'll hear Jeff talk a little bit about his history, but also he serves up some very practical strategies for meditating when your mind won't shut up, for staying grounded, when you're in the midst of big emotions, for finding what he calls a home base, which is a simple body based way to come back to calm no matter what's happening. So a lot of good stuff in here. Okay. We'll get started with Jeff Warren in conversation with DJ Cashmere after this. If you're a business owner, here's something you need to know.
