The Upgrade by Lifehacker

How to Find Real Love With Sharon Salzberg

Sharon Salzberg is one of the people who brought Buddhist meditation and mindfulness practice to the West and into mainstream culture. She co-founded the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, and is the  author of nine books, including the New York Times best seller Real Happiness, her seminal work, Lovingkindness, and her new book, which comes out tomorrow, Real Love: The Art of Mindful Connection.  Sharon joined us in the studio to talk about her new book, meditation, love, shame, heartbreak, and compassion.

Each week, Melissa Kirsch &amp; Alice Bradley of Lifehacker bring in all-star guests to tackle the stuff that matters—like how to be happy, how to buy a TV, how to be less bad with money and how to tell if you’re dating a psychopath. Look, you're doing great, but quite frankly we think you can be a little better. All your friends do too. It's time for The Upgrade.
