Father Gregory Boyle discusses difficult people that we can deal with over holiday meals, at work, and online. Father Gregory Boyle from @HomeboyIndustries_LA says there is only one answer. In this episode we talk about:
• How Homeboy Industries began 34 years ago
• Boyle’s practices for working with stress
• What he means when he says you have to put death in its place
• Motivating people through joy rather than admonition
• How to catch ourselves when we’re about to demonize or be judgmental
• How to set boundaries
• How to dole out consequences without closing the doors to anybody
• And, Father Boyle’s expansive and inclusive notion of God
Father Gregory Boyle is an American Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and reentry program in the world. He has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, the White House named Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame’s 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. He is the author of The Whole Language, Tattoos on the Heart, and Barking to the Choir.

ABOUT THE TEN PERCENT HAPPIER PODCAST
Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical journalist who had a panic attack on live national television, which led him to try something he otherwise never would have considered: meditation. He went on to write the bestselling book, 10% Happier. On this show, Dan talks with eminent meditation teachers, top scientists, and even the odd celebrity. Guests include everyone from His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Brené Brown to Karamo from Queer Eye. On some episodes, Dan ventures into the deep end of the pool, covering subjects such as enlightenment and psychedelics. On other episodes, it’s science-based techniques for issues such as anxiety, productivity, and relationships. Dan's approach is seemingly modest, but secretly radical: happiness is a skill you can train, just like working your bicep in the gym. Your progress may be incremental at first, but like any good investment, it compounds over time.

@40:50 - _"I don't think it's preposterous to believe in god. I'm just trying to get people to stop believing in a preposterous god."_ I like that.

Came here after a Buddhist nun talked about this interview. It’s fascinating how father explains the image of “God” but also quoted Buddha nature as a practice. Definitely father is practicing that Buddha nature of promoting and applying loving kindness unconditionally to marginalized and neglected community. Great thank to the questioner who has Buddhist knowledge and assimilating it with father’s experience.

Very enjoyable discussion. It's the first time I've ever heard a member of the church say scripture is imperfect. Amen! If that message gets out, the Church will regain traction.

A very profound talk! Today , we should be talking more about “loving kindness and compassion “ in our church and community. Great great talk, thank you!

My favorite theologian...I listened to one of his talks everyday during Covid (and started over again when I couldn't find any new talks). Thank you, so much for making a difference in so many people's lives, including mine.
