Joey Weber

Dr Joey Weber is a speaker, researcher and coach who teaches equanimity as a practical skill for staying grounded in a reactive world. His work draws on mindfulness, psychology and compassion science, and is aimed at individuals, teams and organisations.

He spent his early years living in a Tibetan monastic community and has practised meditation for much of his life. He completed a PhD on barriers to equanimity and lectures in Health and Social Care. In 2018 he developed and validated the Equanimity Barriers Scale (EBS), one of the world's first psychometric scales focused solely on equanimity. His research also includes operational definitions of inner and outer equanimity and theoretical models of judgement.

He is the author of "Why Mindfulness is not Enough: Unlocking Compassion with Equanimity", an overview of his research with case studies and guided meditations that aim to bring equanimity down from the mystical and into the practical. His approach, Equanimity Based Compassionate Action (EBCA), explores how people can meet challenge, difference and pressure with greater steadiness and compassionate awareness.

Joey has taught meditation mainly in university settings, and also in hospitals and law firms. He gives keynote talks, runs bespoke organisational training and offers one to one professional speaking and meditation coaching. He has spoken at conferences including the Big Love Summit and the VIII International Mindfulness Conference in Sao Paulo. Over 10,000 people have meditated with his guided meditations on Insight Timer.
