029 Psychology and Spirituality




Jay Forrest On Secular Buddhism show

Summary: Psychology deals with flourishing, while spirituality deals with awakening. This week I share my deep dive into transpersonal psychology and share some of my impressions. I also share my conviction that a spiritual path must combine psychology and spirituality in order to produce a path that is worth pursuing. I also try to explain what flourishing is and why happiness is not what we should pursue. In fact, to pursue happiness is one of the surest ways to make sure you never experience it. For most people happiness is nothing more than a pleasurable or satisfying experience. Flourishing is much more than that.
