Hey, it's Dan. As you may already know, May is mental health awareness month, and while mental health is important every month, this month is an opportunity to share some resources that can really help.

So in that spirit, I want to tell you about some of the other podcasts I really admire and respect in this space.

The podcast's meditative story, a slight change of plans, last day, and on being are all doing incredible work to advance mental health and explore the human condition.

And throughout this month, I'm going to share a little bit more about each one of those shows.

So this week, I want to share one of my favorite podcasts. It's called Meditative Story, and it blends immersive storytelling with gentle mindfulness prompts to help you improve your inner weather.

As you know, my own mental health improvements really began in earnest when I found meditation for myself. And since then, it's really become an invaluable tool to help me deal with anxiety and depression and just the regular ups and downs of life.

So the format of meditative story really feels like an intuitive way to experience mindfulness.

Every episode is also wrapped in a breathtaking musical score, which I personally find pretty relaxing. Some of the storytellers over on meditative story are people you might already know, including Sharon Salzburg, Christa Tippett, David Duchovny, and me, I actually recorded an episode with them myself not too long ago.

Others are newer voices, but every episode is really extremely cool. So many people who listen to the show have said that it's just a crucial resource for them in supporting their own mental health. And maybe you'll end up following meditative story wherever you get your podcasts.

From Wondery, flipping the bird, Elon versus Twitter is a new podcast that unravels the fascinating story of Elon Musk's unexpected bid to buy Twitter and all of the drama that has happened since.

And the essence is not only ushering in a new era of Twitter, but shaping the future of free speech on the internet as we know it.

You can listen to flipping the bird on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

From ABC, this is the 10% happier podcast. Dan Harris.

Hey guys, at a time of multiple mutually reinforcing global dumpster fires meditation can possibly seem counterintuitive.

Instinctively, many of us might prefer to rush to the barricades or to Twitter or directly into the fetal position.

But there is immense value in quote unquote doing nothing. And we're going to explore that theme in this special episode today.

We're bringing into amazing meditation teachers, Seven A. Salassi and Jeff Warren to take your questions about the value of meditation in this difficult time.

We discuss how to work with a wandering mind, how to navigate the social anxiety.

MediVus feel as we start to reopen in some places, whether it's possible to be mindfully depressed.

And we explore the potential for gratitude at a time when it seems like everything sucks.

The reason we're doing this special edition of the show is that we at the 10% happier company are about to launch the summer sanity challenge.

It's a free 21 day meditation challenge starting on July 27th.
