1 小时 2 分钟Hey, my guest today, Tara Brock, has been one of my teachers for years, though she probably never knew it.
Back in the early days of podcasting, I stumbled upon her weekly dharma talks or buddhist teachings and meditations that she would offer at her insight meditation center in DC and then record and air as podcasts.
And the blend of her gentle presence and her deep wisdom that was clearly not just studied, but also lived, her humility, real world sensibility and humor just absolutely drew me in.
In Tara's teachings, they blend western psychology.
She's also a clinical psychologist, along with eastern spiritual practices, mindful attention to our inner life, and a full, compassionate engagement with our world.
And the result is this distinctive voice in western Buddhism, one that offers a wise and caring approach to freeing ourselves and society from suffering.
She is kindness and insight embodied, and I have learned so much from both Tara's offerings and also the way she seems to move through her life.
Which is why I was so excited to be able to spend some time going deep into not just certain pivotal moments in her path, but also some of the really powerful tools and practices that she has developed in the name of allowing us to breathe more easily into really whatever comes our way.
So excited to share this best of conversation with you.
And before we dive into it, I also want to take a moment to share some super exciting news.
So my new book sparked, is now available for pre order.
This is really the culmination of more than two decades of work getting to the heart of what makes us come alive in work and life.
It'll help you understand, maybe in a way that you never truly have been able to see or embrace those deeper drivers for work that fill you with meaning and joy and excitement and purpose.
And probably equally important, it reveals what work empties your soul, takes the greatest emotional toll, and requires the greatest recovery.
And it equips you to understand on an entirely different level, how to better reimagine and reinvent this next season of work in life to truly, maybe for the first time ever, come more fully alive.
And there are some super cool immediate bonuses when you pre order.
So go check out the link in our show notes to grab your copy of sparked from your favorite bookseller today.
Okay, on to our conversation.
I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.
So I heard Lamorado and in conversation with Dan Harris, and he mentioned this interesting question to lead with, and that was how's your heart?
