In this episode, Wendy speaks with researcher, translator, and Buddhist teacher, Cortland Dahl. Cort's work integrates science, psychology, meditation, and Tibetan Buddhism. This conversation covers many topics, including: • how meditation helped with his social anxiety as a young person; • benefits and challenges in the dialogue between Buddhism and science; • customizing meditation practice in the Healthy Minds app; • understanding the diversity of contemplative practice; • analytical meditation; • meditation as a treatment for mental health problems; • transcending the conceptual mind, and loosening concepts of self; • seeing the limits of science; • looking at well-being through the lens of learning; • the key role of social connection; • and moving forward with intellectual humility (knowing that we don't know).
