Description

From Krista: I loved being interviewed by Dan Harris as much as I've ever enjoyed being on the other side of the microphone (as the saying goes). He drew things out of me I didn't know I had to say. And I'm so impressed with him as a human being, and what he's created with Ten Percent Happier. I hope you might enjoy this!

______

The host of On Being shares lessons learned from 20 years of interviews, including: how to live with open questions, counterprogramming against your negativity bias, and getting over the God question.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Getting over the God question when it comes to contemplating religion
  • Why Western culture has such a dearth of ways to talk about love
  • Why she thinks the core of relationships is not about agreeing but about navigating differences
  • Tuning in to our generative agency
  • Her definition of a wise life as distinct from a knowledgeable or accomplished one
  • Why she believes it is as important to know what you love as it is to know what you hate
  • Learning to love big open questions instead of rushing to answers
  • Why the things we get paid to do may not define whether we're living a worthy life 
  • And getting our intentions straight and then trying not to tie them too tightly to our goals
