#188 -The End of Suffering Pt. 3: Sitting With What Hurts - with Sharon Salzberg & George Loewenstein

How can changing our relationship to pain transform our lives? In this reflective episode, Jerry is joined by George Loewenstein, Professor of Economics and Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and author of the book The Opposite of Happiness. Alongside meditation teacher and author Sharon Salzberg, they explore the roots of human misery, blending insights from behavioral economics, psychology, and Buddhist wisdom. They share honest stories about depression, insights into why our "feelings about feelings" can be so overwhelming, and why hope isn't always as helpful as we think. Sharon brings a Buddhist perspective, breaking down ideas like the "second arrow" and wise hope, while George shares fascinating findings from his research on how we relate to pain and how we get stuck, or unstuck.
