Decision 2024 and The Four Immeasurables with Sharon Salzberg

In this episode, I sat down with one of my own meditation teachers, Sharon Salzberg, to explore the deeper meaning of loving-kindness and how it’s more than just a soft, sentimental idea. It’s about connection, resilience, and creating positive change. We discuss how small margins, like voting or simple acts of kindness, can ripple out into the world and impact those around us.

This conversation became personal for me. Her teachings helped me through my recovery, and I know they can help you through these times of division and uncertainty. Together, we can become better and build a kinder world.
