In episode three of Grounds for Conversation, Josh and I talk about expressing ourselves on social media. How do we, in our own journeys, practice being genuine and meaningful in our interactions (both through social media and in person)? Josh is one of the most skilled people, in my opinion, at recognizing when the instagram posting and upkeep is becoming just another exercise in vanity. At my selfish request, Josh also offers a short book list - sources of knowledge that he has visited and revisited to better his mindfulness practice.
