“My personal opinion is that the neutral position on the mood spectrum—what I called emotional sea level—is not
happiness but rather contentment and the calm acceptance that is the goal of many kinds of spiritual practice.”
― Andrew Weil, Spontaneous Healing

“In my view, prescribing antidepressant drugs is too often a quick and easy substitute for developing treatment plans that address the totality of health concerns and lifestyle factors that have an impact on wellness, including emotional wellness.”
― Andrew Weil, Spontaneous Healing

“Among other things, neuroplasticity means that emotions such as happiness and compassion can be cultivated in much the same way that a person can learn through repetition to play golf and basketball or master a musical instrument, and that such practice changes the activity and physical aspects of specific brain areas.”
― Andrew Weil, Spontaneous Healing

“I do not claim to have attained optimum emotional well-being. Actually, I think that may be a lifetime goal. For me it’s an ongoing process that requires awareness, knowledge, and practice. I do know what good emotional health feels like, and that motivates me to keep at the practice.”
― Andrew Weil, Spontaneous Healing
