“Many of us are hungry to feel that our lives matter. We are hungry to belong. We are hungry for warmer, more trusting relationships. We are hungry to live in a society that accepts us for who we are. Everything we are hungry to receive must come from others who are also hungry for the same things. How can a society of hungry people feed one another what they need?”

“Health is not just the absence of disease; it is also the presence of well-being.”

“The psychologist Steven Hayes, who helped develop what is known as acceptance and commitment therapy, takes a quite Buddhist approach to meeting the full spectrum of human emotions. He encourages people to stop mentally suppressing uncomfortable feelings, which leads to psychological inflexibility--a factor that, alongside loneliness, leaves us more vulnerable to stress. In the face of overwhelming global social, political, and economic upheavals and nagging worries about health, safety, financial security, childcare, and so much more, it's both harder and more important than ever to be mentally flexible.”
