What if you’re not broken?

Your Wish to Be Happy Is a Sign of Kindness. We often think our anxiety or restlessness is a problem to fix. But underneath those emotions is something beautiful — the wish to be happy and free from suffering.

Today, Mingyur Rinpoche helps you rediscover your inner kindness by showing how this longing for happiness is something we all share. You’ll hear a powerful insight about how feeling lonely can impact our well-being as much as smoking — yet how recognizing our shared human longing can help us feel more connected.

Today, you’ll reflect on someone you care about and then gently turn that same warmth toward yourself.
