Deconstructing Yourself
Michael Taft · host
In-depth practice conversations
Detailed interviews on meditation, awakening and consciousness. Buddhist approaches sit alongside Advaita, neuroscience and other perspectives; a rich complement to the Atlas’s more advanced branches.
Conversations with meditation teachers, researchers and writers about how to live and practice. The subject range extends beyond Buddhism; this is distinct from the Happier Meditation app.
Publisher explicitly says listen free on the Wisdom Experience or podcast streaming services.
Buddhist teachers and scholarship
