This podcast interviews Michael A. Singer about his book, "The Practice of Non-Reactivity" (JUR), focusing on techniques for managing emotional responses. The discussion progresses from identifying personal triggers and practicing mindfulness (including the "pause" technique) to navigating intense emotions with self-compassion and reframing perspectives. The interview further explores applying these principles to relationships, emphasizing setting boundaries and choosing battles wisely. Ultimately, the podcast positions non-reactivity not just as emotional regulation but as a path to discovering deeper life purpose and meaning, encouraging listeners to start with small, intentional steps.
