Today we welcome Joseph Goldstein to the podcast. Joseph is a co-founder and the guiding teacher of the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) along with Jack Kornfield and Sharon Salzberg. He is one of the first American vipassana teachers and has been teaching Buddhist meditation worldwide since 1974. A contemporary author of numerous popular books on Buddhism, his publications include Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening, One Dharma, Insight Meditation and others.
In this episode, I talk to Joseph Goldstein about Buddhism and the impermanence of life. Being too attached to the self can bring suffering. However, this doesn’t mean that we need to forego our identities or self-care. Joseph explains that enlightenment can be achieved when the mind is free from clinging. He talks about the different states that can help us realize the insight of impermanence and selflessness. We also touch on the topics of mindfulness, compassion, creativity, and wisdom.

Qualia Senolytic
On The Psychology Podcast we frequently talk about forms of wisdom and self-actualization that are often achieved in our 30’s and 40’s or even older.
But it can be frustrating to finally know what you want out of life, JUST as you start to lose the mental and physical energy to go get it.
A culprit of decreasing energy, slower workout recovery, and general “middle aged” symptoms that start showing up in our 30’s, is senescent cell accumulation.
Senescent cells are sometimes called “zombie” cells because they’re old worn out cells no longer doing their job in our bodies, but they linger on in us after we want them gone, wasting our energy and nutrition.
Qualia Senolytic is an amazing formula made by Neurohacker Collective, a company I really trust. I’ve known the folks at Neurohacker Collective for years now and they really are thoughtful about what they put into their products, always trying to be as science informed as possible.
Qualia Senolytic combines 9 vegan, non-GMO plant-derived ingredients that help your body ELIMINATE senescent cells. Personally, it helps me operate with the wisdom of a 40-something, with the mental and physical energy of a 20-something.
