In this episode, I share my unique journey from studying genetics at Duke University to becoming a Buddhist monk and eventually leading the Unhooked Academy to help men struggling with pornography and sex addiction. We discussed the profound impact of mindfulness and meditation on my life, the connection between porn addiction and happiness, and the importance of addressing underlying emotional needs. I elaborated on concepts like the realm of the Hungry Ghosts and the role of shame in addiction. With a focus on creating a shame-free, non-judgmental space, we emphasize the power of community, accountability, and compassionate self-awareness in achieving recovery.
