Episodes
-
127 - Robert Thurman - Conversation with a Titan
Like all god's creatures, we love each of our guests equally. But we'll admit, when we got on the phone with Robert Thurman, there was something that stopped us a bit in our tracks. Yes, he was completely easy to talk to and, yes, he was willing to answer everything we asked. But his ability to...
-
126 - Stan Tatkin - The Science of Love
She loves me. She loves me not. She loves me. She loves me not... Ever spent a moment...or several years(!) wondering whether your mate is right for you—or if you're right for them? You're sure as hell not alone. Romantic relationships are seriously confusing, and much of the time we're unaware…

125 - Kaiser Clark - Say What?
When Kaiser met Pete in junior high, he could barely have dreamed he'd appear a quarter-century later not once but twice on a world-renowned podcast co-hosted by his new, lanky, piano-playing friend . For one thing, there were no podcasts back then. Heck, Rubik's Cubes were still the rage. Also,...
-
124 - Robert Kuhn - Ping Pong Zen
By trade, Robert Kuhn asks the world's most brilliant people about life's biggest questions. It sounded pretty familiar to us here at Meditate This!—with one small exception: Kuhn has a background that puts him on par with just about anyone he interviews, giving the questions an extra level of...
-
123 - Nichol Bradford - Change Minds, Change the World
Nichol Bradford has an affinity for tech—as evidenced by her work as a former senior executive for gaming at Activision Blizzard (for which she managed operations on World of Warcraft in China), Disney, and Vivendi. But the Wharton MBA also appreciates tech's promise because she believes it's our...
-
122 - Transcend with Liz Li, Ph.D., President of Sofia University
Have you updated your bucket list lately? We're guessing there are a few things you may have overlooked. After this interview, you might decide to add a couple items to your list: the study of transpersonal psychology and achieving self-transcendence. What are those things you ask? Well, Pete had...
-
121 - Judson Brewer - Part Duex
It's never happened before that a guest has been daring enough to return to the mic for a second round conversation with Pete and Jay, but Judson Brewer was up for giving it another go. And how lucky for the audience because Judson talks through all the ideas in his new book The Craving Mind…

120 - Zen Care - Koshin Paley Ellison & Robert Chodo Campbell
So, um...about that thing. You know. The thing no one likes to talk about. Yes, that thing. No, not taxes, the other thing. Right. Death. Ok, we all have different relationships to the word and the concept, and we also all have one thing in common: Nobody knows anything about it for sure. But...

119 - Meditation Mistakes, Happiness, and Taking Chances - Mailbag #3
Have you ever wondered about the secret to perfecting your meditation practice, increasing your daily degree of happiness, and finding the strength to tackle all those things that scare you?

118 - Caroline Welch - Mind Your 4 P's of Mindfulness

117 - JP Sears - LoLing at Mindfulness
JP Sears is trying to raise the planet's consciousness and help people live the most fulfilling life possible. He does this, in part, by making funny videos on YouTube that completely mock the very thoughts and practices that help people realize this kind of change. It leaves many left to wonder,...
-
116 - Ofer Leidner - Happier Games, Happier Life
As cofounder and president of Happify, giving people a fun way to pass the time is nothing new for Ofer Leidner. He cofounded and built several digital media businesses, including iPlay/Oberon Media, which offered those downloadable games for phones that consume hours and become an obsession for...
-
115 - John F. Simon, Jr - To Infinity and Back Again

-
114 - Agapi Stassinopoulos - Ready. Set. Joy!
There are plenty of words that describe Agapi Stassinopolous, but they only go so far. Warm, magnetic, wise, theatrical, and honest—they all say the right thing, but in order to really understand Agapi and what she can offer, you really need to listen. The energy and spirit she projects, the way...
-
113 - Dr. Judson Brewer - Getting Unhooked
It's not everyday that you find an MD/PhD who gains as much insight from talking about 2,000-year-old Buddhist philosophy as he does from the latest findings in the New England Journal of Medicine. Judson Brewer is director of research in the Center for Mindfulness at the University Massachusetts...
-
112 - Dr. Dan Siegel - Mind Over Everything
To paint a picture of Dr. Dan Siegel, we could easily provide you with a long list of highly impressive credentials. But that wouldn't represent Dan the person. Missing from that list would be how he unwinds at home by blasting his karaoke machine and dancing around the room. Or that he takes…

111 - Elise Carr - Sacred Spirituality and Sexuality
Ask someone "what" they are and the answer will often be expressed in a single word to summarize their job: accountant...firefighter...salesperson...electrician...chef. For Elise Carr, founder of StellaMuse, the answer takes a lot longer, and seems to radiate like a sunbeam. Some specific things…

110 - Penny George - On a Quest for Health and Healing
Back in 2003, people didn't talk much about acupuncture or meditation or aromatherapy–especially not in relation to treating serious illness. But Penny George saw an opportunity. As a breast cancer survivor herself, she was keenly aware of the need for nurturing the mind and spirit while…

109 - Aneel Chima - A Master Class in Human Flourishing
What does it mean to flourish as a human being? Well, for many of us that might be a question not often asked, but for Aneel Chima it is his life's work to help us figure it out. While Aneel might be just as happy driving a city bus, he's currently very content as the co-leader of the Stanford...

87 - Ellie Burrows - Pristine Peace
When one steps into MNDFL, it's easy to think you've made a wrong turn. Meditation studios are supposed to be a little dusty, a little impersonal. They certainly do not look like that Hamptons beach house you saw in that design magazine. But MNDFL's founders, Ellie Burrows (chief executive…
