On short-circuiting anxiety, breaking thought loops, and learning how to talk to yourself.

In this live Q&A, Dan covers:

Why action is the best antidote to AI anxiety — and what's actually in your control
How to use your meditation practice inside an MRI (and when it's okay to just get sedated)
Joseph Goldstein's "dead end" technique for breaking out of repetitive thought loops
Why certainty is not an indicator of truth — and how open-mindedness works in a polarized world
The Buddhist take on alcohol, and Dan's surprisingly candid answer about his own relationship with substances
How to stop feeding the need for external approval — without toxic positivity
Why mindfulness in Pali literally means "remembering" — and why you'll always need to hear this stuff again
