The great meditation teacher Sebene Selassie said this about today’s guests: “I think their work is going to revolutionize mindfulness.”

The guests in question are Jake Eagle, a licensed mental health counselor, and Dr. Michael Amster, a physician with a specialty in pain management who is also a certified yoga and meditation teacher. Together, they’re out with a new book called The Power of Awe: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose―In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day. In it, they lay out a simple technique for “microdosing mindfulness” that just about anybody can work into their daily lives.

Plus: Dan’s wife, Bianca, joins Dan as co-interviewer.

In this episode we talk about:

How Jake and Michael stumbled upon this method (the story involves pancakes)
Why Bianca has had trouble booting up a meditation habit (and why Jake says he’s “a terrible meditator”)
Why people who have trouble sitting daily for extended periods might find that these microdoses are easier to work into their day
How to do the A.W.E. Method
The similarities and differences between A.W.E. and traditional mindfulness meditation
Practical tips for trying out A.W.E. in everyday life, given how hard it is to form habits
The early scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of the A.W.E. Method
And, finally, whether Bianca and Dan were convinced to try the method!
