Buddhism for Mental Health: Teachings on Inner Peace | Alan Watts

DESCRIPTION Can the pursuit of inner peace become another source of pressure? Explore Buddhist reflections on unhappiness, change, meditation, and the habit of turning everyday feelings into judgments about who we are. Through ordinary experiences—waiting for a friend's reply, caring about work, enjoying someone's company, and listening in conversation—these reflections explore attention, acceptance, and the demand to become an improved person. Notice bodily sensations, sounds, and passing thoughts without making every moment a test of progress. Inner peace can leave room for sadness, irritation, beauty, apologies, and asking for help. Discover a gentler way to meet experience while responding to what daily life actually needs.
