b'As you may know, we are in the midst of a two-week series on hope \\u2013 a concept we are trying to rescue from the realm of rote cliche and empty bromides. Our belief is that hope, when properly understood and practiced, is not baseless optimism or naivete, but a powerful skill.\\xa0\\nToday\\u2019s guest, Sebene Selassie, has earned her capacity to hope the hard way, surviving multiple rounds of advanced cancer. She is also the author of an excellent book called You Belong, and is one of the most popular teachers on the Ten Percent Happier meditation app. And as part of the work we are doing to train people in the skill of hope right now, she has recorded some brand new meditations for the app. If you\\u2019re a subscriber, tap on the \\u201cSingles\\u201d tab in the app to check those out, or click here:\\xa0https://10percenthappier.app.link/HopeIsASkill. You\\u2019ll also find a variety of other new meditations and talks \\u2013 all of which revolve around the theme of hope as a skill.\\nIn this interview, Seb talks about: hope as it relates to Buddhist concepts such as karma, impermanence, and the Eightfold Path; what it means to not be in contention with reality; the difference between \\u201clet it be\\u201d and \\u201clet it go;\\u201d and what hope means in the context of the climate crisis. We also talk about a private conversation that she and I recently had that was very challenging for both of us, but also gave us both cause for hope.\\xa0\\nIf you enjoy hearing from Sebene and want to try her meditations on the Ten Percent Happier app, but you\\u2019re not yet a subscriber, now\\u2019s the time!
