Note: I took the week off last week to recuperate from surgery. The procedure went smoothly, but I had to force myself to not do anything during recovery (I did however make the plants below) This also meant that I had a chance to do some reading (or audiobook listening!) while I was on enforced rest. Now that I’m back, though, books are on my mind!I love to read. I’ve spent years devouring books (I was a big fan of the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program) .

Accumulated moments of autopilot (for example, a mindless daily commute plus hours of surfing the internet plus the automatic routines around waking and going to sleep) contribute to the feeling that life is racing by and that we’re missing it as it happens. By learning to pay attention to what’s happening in front of us, we gain more than the sensations of life; we also increase our ability to act.

STEPHEN KOTLER: One of the really incredible things about being human is we're all built for peak performance. Flow is often described as a state of kind of effortless effort. We feel like we're propelled through the activity. Everything else just seems to disappear. You hear the word "anxiety," you think, "Oh God, this thing I wanna kick out the door. I want to get rid of it." I wanted to flip the script. Anxiety is a normal human emotion. We all have it.

The widespread applications of mindfulness are based on a few general principles whose simplicity and power have sparked what has been called the “mindful revolution.” Yet with all its popularity—or because of it—certain aspects of mindfulness have become obscured or misunderstood. The science-based “Intention, Attention, Attitude” (IAA) model helps us see mindfulness in its full, multidimensional nature.

As we approach the July 4th holiday, with its celebration of independence and community, it's an occasion to reflect on the power of small moments and the connections they foster. Independence Day is not just about grand fireworks and parades; it's also about the quieter, everyday interactions that weave the fabric of our society.

Think for a moment about a relationship you have with a person you cherish but feel like you don’t see nearly enough. This needn’t be your most significant relationship, just someone who makes you feel energized when you’re with them, and who you’d like to see more often. Run through the possible candidates (there may only be one!) and get this person in mind. Now think about the last time you were together and try to re-create in your imagination how they made you feel at the time.

ROBERT WALDINGER: There's a lot of talk about enlightenment. It's a concept that's very old in Buddhism, but also in other spiritual traditions. And it can mean so many different things, but in my Zen tradition, it really refers to: and to some of the surprising aspects of life that we don't normally see. Most specifically, the interconnectedness of everything, the essential oneness of everything. That yes, on one level, everything exists separately.

ROBERT WALDINGER: Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic in our society, but it's been growing for decades. Loneliness is the sense that "I am less connected to other people than I want to be." It's a very subjective experience, and that makes it different too from isolation. So I can deliberately isolate myself and feel great about that, but only you can tell if you're lonely. And the fact is you can be lonely in a crowd. You can be lonely in a marriage.
