One of the biggest sources of human suffering comes from our tendency to avoid uncomfortable emotions. We are not taught how to face these unpleasant, somewhat frequent experiences. Our first (and sometimes only) strategy is to suppress them, ignore them, or become overwhelmed by them. Yet how we meet and greet these difficult emotions with curiosi…

Anyone who has ever been a people-pleaser can know how hard it is to be in relationships that don’t have reciprocity. It can feel like we give and give and give, and just because we are connected in the relationship, can think it’s enough, when in reality, we end up feeling depleted and resentful. In this joint episode, with my partner in life and …

Even though men as a group have power, individual men often feel powerless. These contradictory experiences contribute to men’s hurting—hurting others and being hurt.

The cliche’ that happiness is an inside job is true. Jon Kabat-Zinn said, “wherever you go, there you are.” The foundational step to a happier, more fulfilling life is self-awareness. And 95% of us will quickly self-report that we are highly self-aware. In truth, it’s about 12% of us. One of the most powerful ways to increase self-awareness is medi…

Paraphrasing Tim Ferris, “I don’t know any billionaires who don’t do psychedelics.” Why is this the case? What do they know that you don’t? The field of psychedelics is undergoing a renaissance.

When I was a graduate student back in the 1990’s, it was a career killer for scientists to admit to believing in God, Source or something larger than self. Much has changed since then. Despite my strong scientific training at UC Berkeley, the older I’ve gotten the more I lean into spirituality. Science is one lens through which I view the world, bu…

We often make the mistake of equating longevity with success when it comes to marriage. “Wow! You’ve been married 30 years? Congratulations!” “Well, we’ve been miserable for the last 10.” Longevity does not equal success in relationship. Were we living back in tribal times, a marriage of 15 years would have been a massive success since we would be …

Is meaningful work an oxymoron like exact estimate, working vacation or virtual reality?

Shame is the dominatrix of the other emotions. It dresses in a leather suit with a zippered mouth, armed with a cat o’ nine tails. It can outlast and overpower any other emotion. Shame makes other emotions get on their knees and lick it’s high-heeled shoes. Shame is the quiet belief, in our darkest moments, that we are unworthy of love, connection …

And narcissism is truly a big deal when you consider that potentially 1 out of every 10 pe…

One of the largest issues I’ve seen with men is the over identification with “the thinker” - the thoughts in our heads. Many of us think that we ARE the thinker, not realizing that there is vastly more to us than mere thought. There are emotions, values, bodily sensations, interconnectedness, and the spiritual dimensions. It’s a one-two punch betwe…

How Men Can Create Friendships As Adults (a.k.a. The Epidemic Of Male Loneliness) I have seen an epidemic of male loneliness in my clients over the past decade. This observation is borne out by research. Men are socialized to be self-reliant, to fear intimacy, to be stoic, and to be tough. This leads to a loss of friendships as we age for most men.…

Consilience is one of my favorite ideas. It is the notion that when evidence from different, unrelated sources converge on the same conclusion, this convergence provides strong conclusions, and, ultimately, foundational revelations into the underlying fabric of reality. Ideally, conclusions from geology should confirm those found in chemistry, for …
