Throughout his career as a Silicon Valley technology entrepreneur, and now as an author and innovative meditation teacher, Erric has been interested in understanding the mind and how it functions, both as a user experience designer and as a mind hacker.

Erric has studied and practiced Buddhism for more than two decades, including working with nearly all the greatest masters of our time including Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche. Afterwards, he completed a traditional three-year retreat. As a result, his understanding doesn’t come merely from intellectual knowledge, but through an authentic experience that comes from years of sincere practice.

Erric has studied and practiced Buddhism for more than two decades, including working with nearly all the greatest masters of our time including Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche. Afterwards, he completed a traditional three-year retreat. As a result, his understanding doesn’t come merely from intellectual knowledge, but through an authentic experience that comes from years of sincere practice.

— Tsoknyi Rinpoche

Erric’s interest in human-computer interaction took shape when as a teenager he taught programming to children and school teachers. As a participant in the Logo Group at M.I.T.’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, he interacted with some of the world’s deepest thinkers on how to make intelligent machines. This experience inspired a lifelong passion to understand the mind and how it functions and led Erric to the study of Buddhist theories of mind and the nature of consciousness.

Erric has studied at the feet of some of the world’s greatest spiritual masters, had close relationships with some of the best Artificial Intelligence researchers, and later spent several years in retreat maturing what he learned.

Erric is an excellent dharma teacher who brings together decades of practice, in-depth study of a wide range of Buddhist teachings, business experience (and therefore sensitivity to the concerns of busy people), and an abundant sense of humor.

— Barry Boyce, Editor-in-Chief of Mindful magazine and mindful.org, author of The Mindfulness Revolution

He has been an invited speaker leading seminars and retreats in corporate settings — such as the World Bank and Silicon Valley tech firms—as well as in prisons, temples and Buddhist centers across the US and Europe.

Erric is a wonderful, natural teacher. He brings a unique combination of Silicon Valley experience and deep Buddhist practice to his talks, seminars and writing. He is compassionate, wise and yet very current with the stresses of the modern working world."

— Penny Herscher Board Director, former Tech CEO

How to Get Along With Family and Friends During the Holidays (even when your obnoxious uncle wants to discuss politics)

By Erric Solomon

One burning issue that kept coming up during my recent Radically Happy European tour concerned the coming holiday season. In the past, people looked forward to getting together with family and friends, eating and merry making their way through the festivities. But in today’s hyper-polarized world, there seems to be a lot of questions about how to negotiate table when your U
