Hello everybody welcome to Mindful Mental Jacket. I am Joe List and I am happy that you're here listening to the podcast. I hope that it's helping. I hope that you're enjoying it. And here we are,

huh? I just finished meditating. I'm pretty cooled out everybody.

Those wondering, I most enjoy the waking up app by Sam Harris. I talk about it a lot, talk about him a lot on the podcast. And I use the

calm app as well with Tamara Levitt, which is nice, but I've found, I still use it, I don't want to say that I don't use it, but I do find the

Sam Harris waking up to be even more helpful and deeper in some ways if you want to get deeper into the idea of

consciousness and non-duality and the Waking Up also has a ton of great conversations and lessons and

My therapist's overbooked.

Talk to him yesterday. That was nice and helpful.

He said all his therapist friends are overbooked and everyone seems to be pretty much losing their mind.

I think I talk about this in the episode a little bit.

It's strange before pandemic, you'd struggle and you'd call some friends and someone would be helpful and be like,

don't worry about it, bro. I'm over here cool sitting in the grass or whatever. I'm not a great improviser, but now it feels like everyone you talk to is bummed out, struggling, having a hard time.
