people with chronic illness and chronic pain in the hospital is something that's been really valuable and shown to be through science to have lots of effects on the body and the brain over the past 40 years of research and so forth. That's just at the level of individuals. And yes, learning how to reduce your stress and work intelligently with the forces at play in your own individual life.

that's really important so that you can be kind to your children and kind to your partners and when function effectively and do meaningful work and all of that kind of stuff but you can't be healthy in a sick society and you can't be a healthy nation in a planet that's actually just if you think about permafrost and the fact that the melting is releasing the permafrost captures

Unthinkable amounts, billions, trillions of tons of CO2 and even worse methane, which is 80 times more warming than even CO2. And we're like, you talk about Greenland or whatever, but the fact is we're melting the permafrost. And we have no idea when it will reach a critical point and it'll just kind of like burp. to a much, much higher level of carbon dioxide and methane in the air.

And we don't know how to capture it back. Maybe tech will figure that out, but they better figure it out very quickly if you're going to have a tech solution. Much better to actually slow down global warming. We're going in exactly the opposite direction now. So we go from the hospital to the whole planet being, in some sense, a hospital or a medical center or a school.

And the question is, what's the curriculum and when do we actually... learn what we need to learn of this curriculum so that we don't self-destruct.

Let's do that.

Thank you for that wonderful question. It's not that hard actually, because as soon as you start paying attention, you wake up. If meditation is really about paying attention and doing it on purpose in the present moment, then non-judgmentally, which means not getting so caught up in your ideas and opinions and likes and dislikes, then maybe you'll see your child in a new way.

My wife and I wrote an entire book on mindful parenting called Everyday Blessings, because you can live like your whole life and raise a whole bunch of children and have no idea who they are. And they will come back and happily tell you or unhappily tell you 30 years later how much hurt or harm was created by that. So it's it really is with us everywhere.
