Blogs

In July 2007, I began to write my thoughts on psychology, yoga, and business. I posted them in a blog in the form of brief essays. These essays capture some of the ways in which I think about life -- the types of challenges that arise and strategies to meet them. I invite you to browse and to share your reflections.

Video Talks

In 2012, I set out to record a series of talks on my approach to the art of living skillfully. These talks, or Psych Spots™, offer a practical guide to the search for contentment. They describe how to undo depression and anxiety, how to anticipate and deconstruct anger, how to reclaim missing parts of the self, how to achieve forgiveness, how to cultivate love, and how to maintain healthy relationships. In 2013, I recorded a second series of talks. These talks, or Psych Stops™, serve as introductions to the longer Psych Spots™. Finally, in 2020, I recorded a meditation designed to help process the feelings of helplessness evoked by life under Covid-19. Taken together these talks provide a road map to change or at least a compass by which to navigate the terrain.
