Show 084 Meditation Apps, Mental Health Month and You Are Here

A bit of news and then a look at Meditation Oasis Apps and Jenny Lawson's new book You Are Here, An Owner's Manual for Dangerous Minds.

I'll try to be consistent but until I find that rich guy that isn't older than dirt and doesn't have heirs, I will continue to work for a living.
