This week on The One You Feed we have Kevin Griffin.

Kevin Griffin is a Buddhist author, teacher, and innovator in the field of  addiction treatment. The insight and intimacy of his teaching have made him a leader in the mindful recovery movement.

He is the author of the classic, One Breath at a Time, which is one of the first books about blending mindfulness and 12 step recovery. He recently released a workbook based on those teachings . His most recent book, A Burning Desire: Dharma God and The Path of Recovery, deals with the concept of a higher power through a Buddhist lens.

In This Interview Kevin and I discuss...
  • The One You Feed parable.
  • How what we think about becomes who we are.
  • If you want to be loving think loving thoughts.
  • How the Buddha applied a penetrating intellect.
  • What  the 5 Precepts are and how they apply in our lives.
  • Why spirituality is not anti-intellectual.
  • How recovery is a behavioral approach and meditation is a more cognitive approach.
  • A passable definition of spirituality
  • How we all know that happiness doesn't come from things
  • How we don't live according to our beliefs.
  • What the root of mindfulness is.
  • Limiting beliefs.
  • Cause and Effect.
