One of the most prominent western meditation teachers talks about how to take gauzy concepts and operationalize them in your actual life.

A towering figure in the meditation world, Sharon Salzberg is a prominent teacher & New York Times best-selling author. She has played a crucial role bringing mindfulness and lovingkindness practices to the West.
