b"At a time of multiple, mutually-reinforcing dumpster fires, meditation can seem counterintuitive. Instinctively, many of us might prefer to rush to the barricades, or Twitter, or the fetal position. But there is immense value in \\u201cdoing nothing,\\u201d and we are going to explore that theme in this special episode. We\\u2019re bringing on two amazing meditation teachers, Jeff Warren and Sebene Selassie, to take your questions about the value of meditation in this difficult time. We discuss: how to work with a wandering mind; how to navigate the social anxiety many of us feel as we start to reopen; whether it\\u2019s possible to be mindfully depressed; and we explore the potential for gratitude at a time when it seems like everything sucks.\\nThe reason for this special edition of the show is that we at the Ten Percent Happier company are about to launch the Summer Sanity Challenge. It\\u2019s a free 21 day meditation challenge, starting July 27. Every day you'll get a short video followed by a free guided meditation to help you establish -- or reboot, or reinvigorate -- your meditation habit. You can do it solo, or you can invite your friends and family and see one another's progress.
