Sometimes, our minds become frightened and make everything seem bigger than it really is. Things seem more eternal, more personal, more terrifying. We need to allow our awareness  and mindful practices to help us keep things in perspective. Join Mitra as she discusses the one way of getting out of survival mode. Listen today to learn how to pause and learn to question your fearful survivalist mind.

How to ask for help?

What would happen if a book could speak — and you could speak back? 

The Attentionist podcast brings the words of the book The Attentionist to life — one passage, one conversation, one moment of awareness at a time.

In each episode, host Mitra Manesh and her co-host Carlota Santamaria read and explore a section of the book as it relates to the texture of everyday life — the choices we make, the patterns we repeat, the moments where attention either slips away or comes home. Sometimes a reader joins the conversation as a guest — invited or self-selected — bringing their own experience of the words into the room.

The result is not a book review. It is a living dialogue between a teaching and the people it is teaching.

The Attentionist asks one question: what is your attention creating — and is that the life you meant to live?
This podcast is where that question breathes and unfolds.
