Today I’m talking nerdy with Adam Mahmoud about meditation, mindfulness, and the intersection of eastern philosophies with western neuroscience. In this conversation we’re diving into Adams incredible personal journey in the realms of meditation, yoga, and firework, why most people encounter so much resistance to these types of practices despite how much we know it’s good for us, how to break through your resistance and begin to cultivate discipline, and how mindfulness practices can begin to change your mind and your life.
