CZ 075: Donald Altman, International mindfulness expert, Author, former Buddhist monk

Catching Z's: The Millennials Guide to Mindfulness

Donald Altman was a fascinating person to chat with. His background is in psychotherapy, he's a former Buddhist monk, and grounded in a lot of research and science that comes through on almost every topic that we discuss together. We talked about:

• Being a buddhist monk at the age of 40 and how this formalized his meditation practice
• How a Cadbury chocolate egg at the monastery taught him a lot about understanding himself
• What studies show about our mind wandering and our happiness
• His latest book, Reflect, and how it can be used as it's own meditation practice
• Reflection vs. rumination
• The underlying reasons for mindless eating
• Uncovering the true essence of ourselves
• How to navigate the seemingly daunting task of facing our past trauma
• How research has shown the power that gratitude can have in our lives
