    In this Mindful Life Special I talk to Sharon Salzberg, a meditation pioneer, world-renowned teacher, and New York Times bestselling author. Sharon was among the first to bring mindfulness meditation to mainstream American culture fifty years ago, inspiring generations of meditation teachers and wellness influencers.

We discussed books, poems, songs and much more.  So sit back and tune in to this Mindful Life Special.
