A 6‑Step Guide to Zen Buddhism, Presented by Psychiatrist-Zen Master Robert Waldinger

Robert Waldinger works as a part-time professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, but he also describes himself as a 'Zen master.' This may strike some listeners as a presumptuous claim, but he has indeed been officially accepted as a rōshi in two different Zen lineages in the West.

“Social #fitness …is the key to #mentalhealth, physical health & #longevity. Developing skills that enable one to cultivate & maintain #positive connections to other people is at least as important as proper #nutrition, physical #exercise 🏃🏻‍♀️ adequate #sleep 😴 & the avoidance of harmful habits such as smoking. Yet it is easy to take these #relationships for granted in today’s #individualistic & #hypercompetitive societies.”

“An important part of social #fitness is #cognitive flexibility, exemplified by the capacity to see 👁 the world 🌎 through another person’s eyes, 👀 to express #empathetic understanding & to attend fully to others… the importance of #positive relationships in the workplace as well as the uptick in one’s mood prompted by brief, positive interactions with strangers.”

“The Good Life” book review in #WSJ:

“Loneliness is not solitude; it is perceived social isolation. People suffering the pain of #loneliness are experiencing less positive social contact than they would like. #Extroverts favor more social interaction and #introverts far less. But voluntary #hermits are rare.”
