Joey Weber, PhD
Dr. Joey Weber’s lifelong exploration of equanimity began in a Tibetan monastic community where, as a child, he was introduced to the concepts of mindfulness and equanimity. His fascination with these teachings inspired his academic journey, culminating in a PhD on barriers to equanimity. This means he is one of the world’s first scientists to examine equanimity through a Western scientific lens, establishing new pathways to understanding this essential quality. His groundbreaking research led to the development of the Equanimity Barriers Scale, a pioneering tool for identifying obstacles that hinder the cultivation of equanimity. These early experiences deeply shaped his worldview and professional pursuits, driving him to bridge Eastern philosophical traditions with Western science.
Currently, Dr. Weber lectures in Health and Social Care at the University of Bolton, Manchester. He also works as a mindfulness consultant, trainer and speaks about equanimity across the globe. His acclaimed book, Why Mindfulness Is Not Enough: Unlocking Compassion with Equanimity, has been translated into Dutch and Italian. This book offers a rich blend of case studies, guided meditations, and practical techniques to enhance mental health and foster equanimity.
