In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Sam Harris, PhD, a neuroscientist, bestselling author, and world-renowned meditation teacher whose work focuses on consciousness, ethics, and religion. We discuss how meditation can help us better understand the nature of the self and transform the conscious experience. Sam also explains how meditation can help overcome universal challenges such as distractibility, mental chatter and emotional reactivity, which can allow for greater focus and fulfillment in the present moment.
