In our industrial and competitive society, we have been brought to believe that there is a perfect version of ourselves somewhere out there. The perfect student, the perfect worker, the perfect spouse or perfect parent. But perfectionism is an illusion, and it is an illusion we pay a high price to chase. Join Mitra as she discusses the disease of perfectionism. Listen today to discover how you can replace your "perfect" with the best that you can do.

3 Ways to Create a Healthier Relationship with Sleep

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.
