Sharon Salzberg on Healing Ourselves and the World for Real Change, with Sean Fargo

We’re living in difficult and uncertain times. Meditation can help us cope with the enormity of the world’s grief, but is it ultimately self-serving, or can it influence real change?

In this episode, Sean Fargo of Mindfulness Exercises interviews meditation expert and New York Times best-selling author Sharon Salzberg to tackle this question and more. Sharon shares that meditation is not a replacement for action, but a useful means of summoning the courage to break through boundaries, reconnect to a movement bigger than ourselves, and sustain the energy needed to effect real change.
