Jeff Foster
“The word “depressed” is spoken phonetically as “deep rest”. We can view depression not as a mental illness, but on a deeper level, as a profound, and very misunderstood, state of deep rest, entered into when we are completely exhausted by the weight of our own identity.”
Jeff Foster

Jordan B. Peterson
“I don't think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil.”
Jordan B. Peterson

“Some people say doctors should keep their professional lives separate from their personal lives. Whoever says so either never practiced medicine or forgets what it’s like. Doctors don’t live two separate lives. It all comes together, whether we think that’s a good idea or not.”
Brendan Reilly, One Doctor: Close Calls, Cold Cases, and the Mysteries of Medicine

Brad Warner
“We just need to feel we know, or we can’t rest. And yet much of life is unknowable and will remain so. Lots”
Brad Warner, Don't Be a Jerk: And Other Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan's Greatest Zen Master

Jordan B. Peterson
“To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open. It means deciding to voluntarily transform the chaos of potential into the realities of habitable order. It means adopting the burden of self-conscious vulnerability, and accepting the end of the unconscious paradise of childhood, where finitude and mortality are only dimly comprehended. It means willingly undertaking the sacrifices necessary to generate a productive and meaningful reality (it means acting to please God, in the ancient language).”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
