School is back in session! That means calendars are filling up, and suddenly there’s always somewhere to be and something to do.

But what if the problem isn’t that there isn’t enough time — it’s that we’ve become a little too good at filling every minute of it?

This hour, we explore what our chronically hurried culture is doing to our minds, bodies, families and children.

We’re joined by a psychotherapist, a neuroscientist and a Zen Buddhist monk priest. They teach us how to step off the treadmill – even when life won’t slow down.

Guests:
Bryan Robinson: Psychotherapist, author of “Chained to the Desk in a Hybrid World: A Guide to Work-Life Balance”
Rajita Sinja: Foundations Fund Professor of Psychiatry and Professor in the Child Study Center and of Neuroscience, Yale School of Medicine
Venerable Shim Bo: Zen Buddhist Monk-Priest who serves as the Abbot and Spiritual Director of White Lotus Haven Zen of Connecticut, Inc.
