I agree about Adolescence, gut wrenching and soooooo real. The heartbreak for the parents and his sister. The acting is off the chain. The seen that really got me was when the parents were talking about how they raised their son. As a Mom of boys, you think you are doing the right things and you don’t know until you know. πŸ’”πŸ’”

Hi folks--I'd like to know why you want me to subscribe to Sam Harris's app to get the full 8 hours of conversation among Dan, Sam and Joseph. I was a subscriber to Sam's app but am no longer and kind of resent having to resubscribe to get the full program -- when I'm paying Dan for a Substack subscription. I realize I could subscribe, listen and cancel within 30 days, but it just seems off that you guys aren't making the full 8 hours available for Dan subscribers. Thank you. Michael Brumas

I have to say that I share Michael’s concerns. I subscribe to Dan’s Substack and maintain my subscription to the Happier app because of the guided meditations that have sustained me for so many years. Now, being encouraged to subscribe to a 3rd app in order to reap the full benefits of Dan’s excellent work is off-putting.

Thank you, Dorothea. And for the record, I'm also a longtime subscriber to the Happier app. Perhaps Dan will reconsider and make all four conversation segments available to his subscribers.

Totally agree about adolescence. It’s beyond brilliant. And I also binge watched it. The acting is the best I’ve seen in years. The young lad is remarkable and I’ve seen him interviewed a very lovely young lad is he is too.

Waking Up and Sam’s talks really helped me understand the concept and the experience of no-self. The oneness which is actually zero-ness of being a part of the world and more.

I love the waking up app. I started the 8 fold path pods with you three. I just love it. Very inspiring and a nice time for me to sit, take notes and have in my journal. Thank you for doing this. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜Š

Hi Dan, I wish I had subscribed waking up through your link. I’m in the free trial period thanks to you because you mentioned it during the last live meditation session we had but wasn’t aware there was the chance to do it through your link. Tell Sam I did!
