Jeff Warren: Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics, Secular Spirituality, and the Paradox of Practice

In this episode of Waking Up Bipolar, Chris Cole speaks with Jeff Warren—writer and meditation teacher. Jeff is the author of The Head Trip, a travel guide to sleeping, dreaming and waking, and co-author of the current New York Times bestselling Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book. He is also Founder and Chief Exploring Officer of The Consciousness Explorers Club, a nonprofit meditation adventure group in Toronto.

As you’ll hear in our conversation, Jeff Warren has an uncanny ability to both dive deep into mystical waters and also articulate the many practical benefits of taking up a meditation practice. I most appreciate his willingness to speak candidly about his experiences with ADHD, and as fate would have it, a recent bipolar diagnosis.

It is my great honor to introduce to you, Jeff Warren. Thanks for joining us.
