About this episode
Jeremy Hanson discusses the importance of living in the moment and recognizing the ordinary experiences of life before they become memories.
You can spend your entire life building a better future and accidentally miss the life you're living right now. Jeremy Hanson on presence, attention, and the ordinary moments you don't recognize until they're memories.The episode opens on an old hard drive.
