Episode Description

In celebration of How Minds Change, my new book, turning one-year-old, in this episode Michael Taft interviews David McRaney about how minds do and do not change, the process behind writing a book about that, and what he has learned since writing and promoting it.

Michael is a meditation teacher, bestselling author, and a mindfulness coach – and he specializes in secular, science-based mindfulness training. If you are interested in a science-based, secular book about meditation and and mindfulness, I highly recommend his book,The Mindful Geek, snd I recommend guided meditation with him. He offers that at The Alembic in Berkeley. You can join them virtually, over the internet. Links below.

I also recommend his podcast, Deconstructing Yourself. It is all about entheogens and neurofeedback and brain hacking. If you are a Carl Sagan loving, science endorsing, evidence based sort of person – a nerd, geek, or skeptic or humanist who wants to know more about meditation and deep dive into what we do and do not know about it – that's what his podcast is about. Sam Harris will be a guest on there soon, and I think many of you will love that episode.

For most of us, golden opportunities are seen as an unexpected reward. Luck is important, of course, but what is luck? As they say, serendipity pays visits to open and prepared minds. Defeats and successes are not so different. What is important is how we cope with the situation to turn it to our advantage. At The New School of Creativity, we are curious about human beings: How they learn? How do they think? How they create? What makes them happier? We're looking for 'out of the box' thinkers and doers who can inspire our strategies to get things done more creatively and efficiently. Good Morning, Quarantine!
