My second appearance on Issues with Anna is up... giving my Buddhist and therapeutic reflections on the phrase "Everything Happens for a Reason..." after Mishka Shubaly details why it triggers him...
Author and musician Mishka Shubaly isn’t only the author of seven bestselling Kindle Singles. (If you don’t know what these are, Google “Kindle Singles,” where you’ll also learn that almost all the publications who have written about them, from The New York Times to The Atlantic, focus on Shubaly. Some of his Kindle Singles titles include: -The Long Run -Shipwrecked -Of Mice and Me -Are You Lonesome Tonight? -Beat the Devil And then there’s his full-length memoir, I Swear I’ll Make It Up to You His writing is fierce, honest and funny—not an easy trifecta to pull of—and much of it focuses on trauma, alcoholism and sobriety. While Shubaly’s path to recovery is controversial, he’s never shy about saying it works for him but doesn’t suggest others follow in his wake. In this episode, we talk about Shubaly’s issue with the expression “Everything happens for a reason” and the general cult of positivity that permeates the world. We then attempted to uncover even more about why someone would have this issue with our team of experts, including meditation teacher Jeff Kober, Buddhist PSYD MFT Stephen Dansiger and 10-year-old LA resident Archer.
My good friend Anna David has a new podcast called You've Got Issues, where she talks to artists and others about their pet peeve issues... and then she hands it off to a panel of experts to look at the underlying causes and conditions that may inform these pet peeves...
I recorded several of these with Anna as one of her experts breaking down the issues focused upon in the interview... other experts include Jeff Kober, Noah Levine and a 10 year old named Archer... I had a great time recording these, and the first one regarding people wearing their pajamas on a plane is up and available...
Screenwriter Jeff Roda is not someone who’s going to be bragging about his accomplishments. You will, in fact, have to attempt to drag them out of him—and you still won’t be successful at learning much. Everything about what he’s done career wise must be gleaned through Google. And here it is: -He’s written screenplays for DreamWorks, Paramount Pictures and New Regency Films, and television pilots for the WB, CBS and Media Rights Capital -He was a producer on Love Liza starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Kathy Bates (he wrote a piece about his friendship with Hoffman here) -He has written three Black List scripts -He is currently developing his pilot When I’m Sixty-Four for HBO In this episode, we discuss Jeff’s issue with people who wear pajamas on planes. If you’re wondering how a person could have an issue with something so silly—well, you’re listening to the right podcast. Delving underneath the issue with the help of meditation teacher Jeff Kober,Buddhist PSYD MFT Stephen Dansiger and 10-year-old Archer, we discovered how someone could have a problem with such a seemingly silly activity.

At Against The Stream I am encouraged to infuse my Dharma Talks with my years of Zen Practice. Here I talk about Ordinary Mind:
Loving Kindness (metta) can be incredible powerful. This Dharma Talk I did for Against The Stream on the subject followed a guided loving kindness meditation.

Marc Maron and I have been close for a long time now. He put me in front the mic and I found out for myself just how much he is like human truth serum.
Dr. Steve helps Marc with a couple of small issues: intimacy, anger, abandonment, boundaries (or lack thereof), broken marriages, tears and sadness, PTSD, trust and its busting, and the innocence of childhood (and its end).
