Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society's video: The Human Need for Storytelling: Dharma Talk and Guided Meditation with Matthew Brensilver

The dharma talk starts 49 minutes in, if you want to skip the sit, and has better audio quality than the sit. (just fyi) But you should listen to the beginning of the sit as Matthew reads the quote that got him thinking about how storytelling affects us. In this talk, recorded during the ATS San Francisco center's Monday night live stream, Matthew Brensilver talks about Storytelling. Humans are storytelling animals but the truth is, there is no story. The stories we tell ourselves are often one of the key things that cause suffering. Recorded live at the San Francisco ATS Center during the Monday night live stream.
