Meet Dr. Joey Weber
The Equanimity Enthusiast
Research-led, practice-grounded, and focused on making equanimity practical — for individuals, teams, and organisations.
About Dr. Joey
Dr Joey developed and validated one of world’s first psychometric scales that solely focuses on the construct of equanimity – The Equanimity Barriers Scale (EBS) in 2018. His research (spanning 6 years) includes operational definitions of inner and outer equanimity relevant for clinical psychology, theoretical models of judgement and the validation of the EBS.
He has recently published a book entitled “Why Mindfulness is not Enough: Unlocking Compassion with Equanimity”, which is an overview of his research and includes case studies and guided meditations in order to bring equanimity down from the mystical and into the lap of the practical.
About the Equanamee Method
Dr Joey who is a long-term practitioner and spent his early years living in a Tibetan monastic community believes he has designed a model for everyone to cultivate equanimity. The Equanamee method helps individuals and groups unpack why we discriminate and how to find compassion.
Dr Joey is dedicated to instructing businesses and individuals seeking to improve themselves and their empathy and compassion using the Equanamee method. The method is made up of:
-
Self-assessment of the Equanimity Barriers Scale
-
Implementing the 7-step method

Guided meditations to translate insight into daily practice

Your Seven Steps to Equanimity
Despite it being human nature (categorising things into good, bad or neutral) this does not always mean it is healthy. Becoming aware of how we categorise everything is a crucial first step.
After awareness, comes a loosening of your identification net. Our likes, dislikes and neutralities influence us only if we allow them to. Heightened awareness enables you to disidentify with your categories.
Being mindful of how phenomenon are transient moments in time rather than a fixed and rigid reality enables us to not dwell so much and assist us in advancing our journey.
Equanimity enables you to observe your psychological makeup as it occurs. Give your fullest and compassionate attention towards everything regardless of the type of thought or experience.
Appreciating that others must harbor the same mental processes and emotions in varying intensities, can help you to empathize with others and act more compassionately.
Understanding how these categories bind our opinions and the opinions of others and seeking to work with our biases is a significant step in growing our compassion.
Regulate your emotions, mentally protect yourself and actively cultivate positive mental states.
