A friendly and deeply thoughtful offering of curiosity and wisdom around life’s most intransigent problems. Interviews with popular authors and leaders in the mindfulness space, and always some fun twists. Rick and Forrest know how to drive a relaxed but purposeful inquiry with every podcast.

This took me a little while to appreciate and now I look forward to episodes. There’s something comforting to Forest and I appreciate how he breaks down complicated issues with the expertise of his dad, Rick Hanson. While, I knew of Rick’s work which drew me to listening, it’s Forest and the many...Read full review »

I have been listening to the podcast for over a year. I really enjoy listening to Forrest and Rick--as they are easy to listen to and have comforting voices. If a podcaster naturally talks too fast, I get nervous (slowing the speed hasn't helped). Forrest and Rick speak at my ideal speed...Read full review »

Used to love this podcast but it has become very repetitive. I really wish they had more guests on or call days to break it up a little.
