Case Study: Reversing the Mental Health Crisis
Is the global mental health crisis reversible?
Join Jonathan Lambert—documentarian, musician, and spiritual seeker—for a deep-dive exploration into the "big questions" of existence. Having navigated depression, bullying, and the loss of friends to suicide, 26-year-old Jonathan is on a mission to bridge the gap between young adult struggles and the ancient wisdom needed to heal them.
This isn't just a conversation; it's a quest. Jonathan travels off the beaten path to interview a diverse range of guides—from neuroscientists and psychologists to indigenous elders, nutritionists, and philosophers—looking for solutions in the places others overlook. By examining the intersection of modern science and ancient tradition, the show provides a holistic roadmap to reclaiming our collective well-being.
If you’re struggling, Jonathan wants to hear your story.

Beyond the Robe: A Conversation with Phramaha Piya Jundadal (Part 2)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the second installment of our series, Phramaha Piya Jundadal and I dive into the mental landscape of the modern world. Drawing from his travels and years of meditation, Piya observes that 99.9% of people—regardless of their background—are in a constant struggle with their own thoughts. We discuss the "monkey mind" and how our modern habits of high consumption have fractured our attention spans, making a well-trained mind more essential than ever for happiness. Piya explains why "cutting off" from society in intentional doses is a vital act of mental hygiene and offers a blunt look at how laziness can become a primary obstacle to a meaningful life. This is a deep dive into making inner peace a daily priority, moving beyond theory into the practical discipline required to master one’s own consciousness.
