Even when we are not consciously interested in personal
development we have to overcome difficult situations in which we
are confronted with our limitations. Be it at work or in our
personal life - we reach the end of our wits, and then we
typically say or do something stupid, or feel inadequate, or
embarrass ourselves. Some of these experiences of insufficiency
can haunt us. Next to psychological approaches also meditation
practices can bring relief in such cases, because in meditation
we learn to emotionally detach from these painful memories. But
if we 'meditate well' do we stop caring? Does then also our
motivation vanish to actually change our behavior, to learn, and
grow?

This episode starts a series of conversations about
Buddhism-based psychology, loosely based on the book "When Things
Fall Apart" by Pema Chödrön.
