Dan flies to Dharamsala, India to spend two weeks in the orbit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This is the first installment of a five-part audio documentary series, something we’ve never done before now. Over the course of the episodes, we talk to His Holiness about practical strategies for thorny dilemmas, including: how to get along with difficult people; whether compassion can cut it in an often brutal world; why there is a self-interested case for not being a jerk; and how to create social connection in an era of disconnection. We also get rare insights from the Dalai Lama into everything from the mechanics of reincarnation to His Holiness’s own personal mediation practice.  In this first installment, Dan watches as a young activist directly challenges His Holiness: In a world plagued by climate change, terrorism, and other existential threats, is the Dalia Lama’s message of compassion practical — or even relevant?  Full Show Notes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/dalai-lama-guide-538 [https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/dalai-lama-guide-538] Other Resources Mentioned: * Healthy Minds Innovations [https://hminnovations.org/] * Compassionate Leadership Summit [https://hminnovations.org/compassionateleadershipsummit] Learn more about Ten Percent Happier podcast at [https://www.tenpercent.com].
