The Path to Optimistic Resilience Through Meditation

About this episode

This episode discusses how meditation can help shift cultural perspectives on gratitude and optimism towards a more helpful mindset.

This episode is a recording of a class I taught on my online meditation course on Thursday, the 8th of January 2026. There is a 15-minute talk explaining how our cultural perspectives on gratitude and optimism work against us, and how we can adopt a different perspective that's more helpful by training our minds through meditation. We then moved on to 30 minutes of focused-attention meditations, which form the foundations of the mindfulness and resilience practices I teach.
