Commusings is our Sunday morning newsletter where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture.

Today Jeff unpacks the psychological and biological roots of fear — starting with the genesis of his own claustrophobia. How can mindfulness practices and rigorous self-examination help us unwind patterns of fear, both the learned and the innate?
