On this episode, a bad news / good news situation. Let’s start with the bad news: human beings are not wired for uncertainty. It short circuits our system.

Dan Harris and I talk about: how to use meditation to embrace uncertainty, the importance of getting in touch with your own “tainted glory,” and why we shouldn’t fear the schmaltz.
