Transforming anger into compassion - with Scott Snibbe

Scott Snibbe is an interactive media artist, entrepreneur, and meditation instructor. He’s been a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism for many years and is host of the popular “A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment” podcast.

In this episode, Scott discusses the very troublesome situation that arose after his grandfather’s death, when he was sued by a distant relative who’d hoped for an inheritance and thought Scott had embezzled his grandfather’s savings. Scott very honestly describes the pain and anger that arose from being accused of theft and the ensuing 3-year law suit, and discusses how his Buddhist practice helped and what he learnt. In doing so, he explores the more analytical Tibetan Buddhist approach to dealing with difficult people, how that meshes with the mindfulness approach, and the interplay between awareness of what’s going on and knowing what actions to take. Scott also talks about the unintentional conflicts that arise between him and the closest person in his life - his wife - and how this partnership has also taught him a great deal.
