The Spiritual Foundations of Mental Health

Rabbi Henry Harris

Jewish wisdom on peace of mind, freedom from anxiety and habits, and personal success. In this podcast, we explore a simple and simplifying truth about feelings, moods, and states of mind. Including, how human it is to misunderstand this truth and thereby struggle and suffer, how human it is to awaken to new understanding and habits, how much wisdom and innocence we already possess (even as we struggle), and how to work and win at this spiritual truth no matter how rotten you feel. read less
