About this episode

Manoj Dias discusses mindfulness and meditation practices, including a guided breathing exercise.

Manoj Dias is a meditation teacher, author of "Still Together," and co-founder of the mindfulness studio Open. Recorded live in New York at Rivian's Performance House, we get into wellness as a secular religion, mindfulness as a choose-your-own-adventure, and what's underneath the language of optimization. He also explains what an NBA team practices before the shot. Then it opens up to a Q&A with the room. Manoj also guides everyone through a practice. A few rounds of five breaths in and five out, then gratitude. Follow along. Enjoy!
