Episode Synopsis

American Book Award Winner Ira Sukrungruang is the author of four nonfiction books, including his latest memoir This Jade World, from University of Nebraska Press. This inspiring conversation was true medicine for my soul -- and I hope it is for you, too. We discuss love and loss through divorce, Ira's time as a Buddhist monk in Thailand, the nature of desire and how to determine if your wants are even your own (or if they are society's), confronting oneself in meditation and on the page as a writer, the power of vulnerability, and so much more.
