Sam Harris on The Talks
Max Vallot of District Vision recently interviewed meditation teacher and neuroscientist Sam Harris for The Talks. The exchange offers a deeper insight into Sam’s perspective on mindfulness, the purpose of the practice and the difference between meditation and flow state, sharing, “Flow isn't good enough from a meditative point of view. It's the kind of experience we want, understandably, but meditation is the practice of recognizing that the thing we want is already true in a way that has no relationship to consciousness.” | Link

Zero is an app designed to help with fasting windows and longer term experiments and they’ve released a Q&A with Peter Attia, sharing a lot of great information on the topic | Link

I’d love to hear what you’re reading this week too | Link
