Love it, not trying to go from point A to point B but going from point A to point, Just Be.

I really enjoyed this interview and immediately liked it and subscribed to the channel. I will also check out Bob's book. It sounds intriguing! Ever since I lost my believe in Christianity about 10 years ago and went down the Science and Philosophy path, I was still yearning for some kind of spirituality. I guess secular Buddhism could do the trick. Thanks a lot for that! :)

I heard a few impressive interviews led by Bob Wright and very happily discovered on the 8th of Aug. that this kind but skeptic guy was actually following a mindful path next to the wild one I am walking on

David Watermeyer if people dislike this, imagine the hate Gautama had to endure, being as radical as he was, haha.

I would love to see you interview Culadasa. Have you read his book "The Illuminated Mind"?

Culadasa is certainly not "secular".

. If Buddhist practice can help a person become a "better whatever you are", does it then follow that the practice is ethically empty?

I would add that ethics and values are what defines the quality of who we are and what we do, so it isn't empty. in fact there are certainly ethical traditions in buddhism but the behaviors driven by the philosophy are what secular enthusiasts are probably drawn to. Hope this made sense?
