Musar is a Thousand-Year-Old Jewish spiritual practice that teaches us how to find those things inside that cause us to get stuck in the same situation again and again, and it offers a path towards balance and healing through mindful living and taking mindful actions in everyday life.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop, facing the same challenges over and over? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Greg Marcus about the ancient Jewish spiritual practice of Mussar. With a Ph.D. in biology from MIT and a background in Silicon Valley, Greg brings a unique perspective to this thousand-year-old tradition. Mussar focuses on soul traits and the ongoing battle between our good and evil inclinations.
Greg's latest book, 'The Spiritual Practice of Good Actions', dives deep into these concepts, offering practical advice for everyday life. He shares how being too truthful can sometimes backfire and why sparing someone's feelings might be okay. The conversation also touches on patience as a remedy for helplessness and the transformative power of small acts of kindness.
Whether you're looking to find balance or just curious about Mussar, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to incorporate mindful actions into your daily routine.
