Jack Kornfield on How to Stay Sane in Insane Times

Jack Kornfield on How to Stay Sane in Insane Times

Plus: Saying thank you to your anxiety and the opportunity in the dumpster fire.

Jack Kornfield, who trained as a Buddhist monk in the monasteries of Thailand, India and Burma, then returned to the US, where he became one of the leading voices in Buddhism in the West. He co-founded the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, with Sharon Salzberg and Joseph Goldstein, then he went on to start the Spirit Rock Medication Center in Woodacre, California. He's written many books, including his latest, All In This Together, which is the focus of the conversation you're about to hear, along with a new online course he just posted, called Stand Up for Compassion – which is about staying steady in difficult times.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The causes of happiness
  • The opportunities (And this is a counterintuitive notion, but…) The opportunities in the suffering we're experiencing today
  • How to stand up for what you care about while staying calm and steady
  • Ways to zoom out and see the bigger picture
  • How to cultivate both courage and Joy
  • How Jack gets consistent hits of Joy in his own life
  • Why intention is important — and how to cultivate healthy intentions
  • And other survival strategies for these times
