078: Meditation, Mindfulness, and Peace with Buddhist Noah Levine
What does it mean to find happiness? Noah Levine tried to find it \u2014 with motorcycles and leather jackets and drugs and more \u2014 only to discover that the true path to happiness is on the inside. Since then, he\u2019s become one of the foremost instructors of mindfulness and meditation from the Buddhist perspective thanks to his own journey of peace, and he\u2019s with us today to share more.
This week\u2019s episode kicks off a series of conversations on relationships with a focus on our inner relationship, the one we have with ourselves. It\u2019s the most important relationship when we think about our work in the Adult Chair and Noah\u2019s perspective is so powerful and informative for our own journey.
