Just wanted to make people aware of an excellent podcast episode with Joseph Goldstein. Dan Harris has the Ten Percent Happier podcast and has been a student of Joseph's. Anyway Joseph was on the podcast and I found it really helpful. Normally you only get Joseph in a dharma teaching sort of format where he monologues, but here Dan was able to ask really good questions to help clarify. They have a good chemistry too so it was pleasant just listening to them talk.

Paraphrasing Thich Nhat Hanh, if you find and comprehend the sources of your suffering then happiness is sure to arise. They are two sides of the same coin.
