Not Too Tight, Not Too Loose
by Dr. Joe Flanders and Andrew Rose
Not Too Tight, Not Too Loose is a podcast about finding balance in the pursuit of wellbeing. Inspired by an ancient teaching about meditation, music, and finding a middle path, NTTNTL explores developments in psychology, psychedelics, meditation, spirituality, AI and more. We talk with leading thinkers and practitioners to make sense of both cutting edge and traditional wisdom. Rather than searching for ways to fix what’s wrong, NTTNTL invites us to stay humble, pay attention, and realize that wellbeing isn’t about flipping the right switch, but more like keeping an instrument in tune.
