dramatic changes in order for not only us to sustain life in a capacity where everyone's happy and flourishing and well fed and just living a life of peace and comfort, but in order for humanity to flourish, The earth has to be taken care of too. The planet is going to die.

So there's a lot of real critical opportunities here for us to leverage our feelings of calling to do something for not just ourselves, but for the sake of humanity. I just try to bring my own scientific lens to that calling and provide insight from that perspective.

Kind of a deep question. It is a deep question, but it's a total relevant one. One of the opportunities I had recently was to talk to the NIH about a contemplative perspective for a whole person health model. The NIH and specifically the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health is interested in a fuller picture of what it means to be healthy, to be a healthy human.

in an integrative way, meaning not just focusing on one system or organ system or one cluster of symptoms, but to think about how we live as good human beings from every dimension, from the social aspects of our health to even to the physical and even whether it comes to financial health, But most importantly, something that's been left out of the equation is spiritual health.

And I was asked to talk about what does it mean to have spiritual health and well-being? And what are the aspects of spiritual health that we can really begin to research in a really rigorous way? And that's, I think, the opportunity here. If you think about what people report, even... In the 16th century, Michelangelo was talking about the relation between humans and God, the divine.

And that connection between the divine and humanity is a context that spiritual health can really facilitate the belief in something better than this inevitability of decline that we're all prescribing to this narrative. we over the ages right we know that spirituality and connection to god or some aspect of the divine or something greater than ourselves has been helping us

fuel our constant attempts to do something better or to feel something more meaningful, right? And so I think there is a level that we can work to at using spiritual health as a lens to foster improvement in not only our own personal well-being, but as one humanity.
