A brilliant podcast. Probably my favourite of all time. Jack Kornfield is the real deal. A great teacher and communicator and an awesome human being. This podcast never fails to be uplifting and inspiring.

The amazing thing about Jack’s teaching is that every episode is different. They also each contain profound truths and wisdom accumulated over decades perhaps lifetimes. Googling for the answer is not the same. Very profound.

I love this podcast especially the introduction that explains the history and backstory of the episode. Jack is a treasure! Thank you!

I appreciated the show when it did not include advertisements or the long winded introduction and reflections by the team member. It comes across a money pull recently. Leads me to question the validity of the messaging.

Jack is a treasure! I have found so much comfort and wisdom in these podcasts. If your feeling down or disconnected, listen to some stories, and consider some ancient wisdoms. The only thing is I hate to say it but I don’t like the new introductions by the other guy. It feels completely...Read full review »

Jack Kornfield is truly wonderful. I just wish every episode wouldn’t start with his assistant talking for 5-8 minutes. I always try to skip ahead to Jack’s lecture. That is the only thing that has become worse with this podcast - it didn’t used to be like that

I am a long time listener. I have grown and changed from listening to Jack’s teachings and inspired to grow in my own practice. I am deeply disappointed by the advertiments now in the these “free” episodes. It seems like Jack, Tara and the whole American “Buddhist” teaching community has grown...Read full review »

This has been my favorite podcast for some time. I like the new intros by Ganesh. When I heard the new intros, I knew that some older followers would be complaining. Lately Ganesh has sounded a little sad and subdued. I hope it’s not from the harsh reviews. Don’t let them get you down, Ganesh! I...Read full review »

Why post such drivel now, during a worker’s strike? Abominable. Who’s steering the ship here? Posting the Russell Brand interview when all the RB news hits? A completely uncritical eulogy of Trungpa Rinpoche? What happened to the principles of radical honesty and right speech? Seriously, can...Read full review »

The hippies WERE right and Jack is testimony to this . Thank you

Jack is wonderful and profound but commodifying him seems antithetical to his teachings.
#wowintheworldisawsum! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/23
Between the Trungpa episode, the Brand episode… and now in the midst of UAW strike, Jack puts out an interview with Bill Ford? Whew that’s a lot of bad looks.
Lizzzzzzxxxxxxxxxxxxx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/23
Jack please take down the Russell Brand episode

I don’t come here to hear a cute synopsis of what jack says. Eliminate all the personality and exposition…just let Jack speak for himself.

I love JK but this new perky narrator was a bad choice. It sounds like he has had way too much caffeine - sorry!:) I turn the whole show off when I hear him announce my beloved Jack Kornfield. Why do we need a introducer? Is it to get young people involved? Well, he doesn’t sound very...Read full review »

Great podcast. Not a fan of the new intros
Buddhaboy1923 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/23
Jack is incredible and his dharma talks have been life changing. However, I absolutely cannot stand the new episode intros from his media manager, Ganesh Braymiller. I find them unnecessary, not useful, and frustrating to have to fast forward through to get to Jack. It makes me not want to listen...Read full review »

I am constantly returning to talks on the BeHereNow network, and Jack is one of my favorite people to listen to. His calming tone and gentle sense of humor highlight the powerful truths delivered in each episode. I’m so grateful to have found Jack and his wife Trudy Goodman, for they have both...Read full review »

I enjoy Jack’s podcast and often listen to it when I can’t sleep. The new intro doesn’t work for me though. It’s abrupt and doesn’t add anything. I prefer to just hear Jack.
poetrypal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/23
I wasn’t surprised to hear some concerns about the new intro and my instinctual response was also “wait, what? Too loud, too young, too energetic!” But as I listen to this young person I’m realizing how much I’m enjoying his excitement and energy around Jack’s teaching and the podcast. What a...Read full review »

I always get so much out of what Jack shares…and it often hits a need I didn’t even realize I had and helps me stretch further. I have to agree with another reviewer that the commentary in the new intro is insightful, but feels but like a mis-match energetically to Jack Kornfield (I also felt...Read full review »

I really appreciate and dearly benefit from this wonderful podcast. I routinely listen to many Spirit Rock meditation teachers by listenening to podcasts, reading books/listening to audiobooks, and dream of attending retreats in California soon. However, that said, the new intro(s) added to this...Read full review »

Really appreciate this!!!! You have gotten me through some really difficult times as someone dealing with anxiety and post-traumatic stress!!!!! AMAZING :)

I really enjoy the content of Jack’s talks but do wish the audio quality was better.

Soak it up like a sponge!
Pemight via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/22
I especially love the readings of Buddhist stories that I’ve never heard of before! The intrinsic comicalness and wisdom imbedded in these stories never fails to amaze.
Marco Fernandooo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/22
I agree that Better Help should Not be a sponsor. With years practicing Zen meditation and reading great spiritual thought leaders I was sent a very underwhelming list recommendations of therapists who did not have a like minded background similar to myself or the brilliance of Jack Kornfield.
FridaCashmere via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/22
I love the podcast but I suggest reconsidering the BetterHelp sponsorship. BetterHelp is not a conscientious mental health provider.
KAS2211 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/22
Listening to your podcast I began to sob. I felt so connected to myself and the universe and with my tears I feel finally a peace in myself I’ve been seeking for years.
Jordyariella via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 05/29/22
I love this human being so much. I am listening to these episodes over and over again. Thank you for you, Jack!

I get so much out of this podcast. Jack has a way of teaching that is so accessible without ever being anything less than totally illuminating.
MaggieGrim505 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/22
I look forward to Jack’s wise words and soothing voice every chance I get. A veritable balm to the soul!
Bassprince via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/22
Thanks for making these teachings available!!! &lt;3

Been following him for years. Wish I knew about his podcast sooner. I buy all the books of his I can afford. Love his voice.
Jayvonne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/21
I am so excited I have found this podcast I heard him interview in the podcast the wolf you feed. It was a beautiful interview thank you I’m excited to listen to your own podcast to

Jack will always be known for his gifted storytelling and interpretation. Perfect for after a long day.

I love you but for the love of G*d, can someone just edit the clinking and clanking and scuffing out of some of these beautiful tracks?
Kristina Maryann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/21
Man, I love this guy!
nickanderhoey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/21
A beautiful podcast full of wisdom and hope. Jack has a a big, open heart and you can feel it through every podcast! I recommend this to everyone!
CosmicKiwi44 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/21
I read the heart of wisdom about ten years ago. Then I kept studying Buddhism and yoga reading other books practicing and so on. Then last year the lockdown came. And internet saved us from our loneliness and separation. I found Jack again. And now he is my master and everyday friend. Thank you...Read full review »
