The Power of Loving-Kindness | Meditation Pioneer, Sharon Salzberg

Описание: "Love is not a feeling, it's an ability." - Sharon Salzberg

Can we really change the world by changing how we relate to our own thoughts? Our guest this week, Sharon Salzberg, has spent five decades proving we can.

Sharon is a pioneer in meditation and New York Times bestselling author who brought mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation into the mainstream in America nearly 50 years ago.

Sharon’s work has guided millions toward deeper self-compassion and interconnectedness. She co-founded the Insight Meditation Society and has authored thirteen influential books, including her latest, Real Life.

In this episode, we explore how mindfulness and loving-kindness can help us navigate our divided world and create more meaningful connections.
Sharon explains how working from love, rather than anger, can drive positive change. And it all stems from the concept that love isn’t just a feeling, but an ability… and beyond that, a responsibility.

Taking a deep dive into the practical applications of mindfulness, and acting on them in our daily lives, can transform how we handle challenges and relationships.

This conversation is packed with insights that will challenge and inspire you to rethink your approach to mindfulness. We’re in this together, and I can’t wait for us to experience the results.
