Annoying Partners, Aging Parents, Impossible Coworkers: Buddhist Advice for Conflict, Communication, and "Patience with Teeth" | devon and nico hase

Which conflict style are you? Plus: avoiding the "trance of nice," walking the high wire, and an uber-hack for getting over irritation.

devon + nico hase serve as guiding teachers of the online dharma community Refuge of Belonging. They teach at the Insight Meditation Society, Spirit Rock, and other centers, offer online and in-person retreats, and speak with students in one-on-one sessions. They are the co-authors of How Not to Be a Hot Mess and the new This Messy, Gorgeous Love: A Buddhist Guide to Lasting Partnership.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why friction in relationships is a feature, not a bug
• The three directions of listening
• Why joy isn't a nice-to-have
• How contemplating death can dissolve everyday irritation
• Whether you're a volcano, a diplomat, or a dodger
• How to rupture like a pro
• Why real patience has teeth
• What it means to walk the high wire in a conflict
