Listen Later

In this very special episode, world leading expert Dr. Jud Brewer talks us through how we can protect our mind from collective fear, identify addictions and ways to break through them and why kindness is the answer. This unique scientist bridges the gap between old age wisdom and science, and he has spent the past 20 years studying the data to show that ancient philosophy isn’t just theory but when practiced, it can have significant results. Dr Jud is the Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center as well as a professor at the School of Medicine at Brown University. His Ted talk has had over 9 million views about habit formation, his books are sold globally and apps help thousands stop smoking, emotional eating and anxiety. Today we are going to focus on how we can use this change corona virus has given all of us as something that can potentially positively affect us.

A little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention. Life throws curve balls unexpectedly and these can feel much more manageable when we know more about our mind. I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable. I would love to hear from you if you have any feedback or guest suggestions, please find me on instagram @poppyjamie and @happynotperfect.
