Dr. Jeffrey Rubin- "The Art Of Flourishing."

Jeffrey B. Rubin, PhD, is a psychoanalyst, teacher, and author of eight books. Today on our show we will have a conversation about one of his most treasured pieces “The Art of Flourishing,” A Guide to Mindfulness, Self Care, and Love in A Chaotic World.

Dr. Rubin practices in New York City and North Salem, New York, and teaches at the Object Relations Institute of New York, the American Institute of Psychoanalysis, and the C. G. Jung Institute of New York. He is widely regarded as a leading integrator of Western psychotherapy and Eastern meditative traditions.

A Sensei in the Rinzai Zen lineage, he is the creator of Meditative Psychotherapy, an approach shaped by decades of clinical practice, teaching, and study. His pioneering work has also been featured in The New York Times Magazine.

Today we walk with Dr. Rubin, and take a deeper look at his most recent work The Art Of Flourishing, a book where he helps us understand that in order to be better to others you must first be deeply attentive to yourself. If you don't nourish your own "soil," your relationships will eventually wither.
