Show Notes

In this episode, which originally aired in radio format on April 21st, 2022, I explore some of the ideas presented in the book How To Be Sick, by Toni Bernhard. A long-time meditator and Buddhist practitioner, Bernhard got mysteriously ill on a trip to Paris and remained ill for twenty years and counting. This experience brought her even closer to the Buddha's teachings on suffering and the cessation of suffering. Other topics include but are not limited to the three marks of existence, the brahma viharas or sublime states, and Byron Katie's The Work.
