How (not) to be safe and miserable?

"Our life as a human is complex. We exist in many dimensions – physical, emotional, social, occupational, educational, financial, political, spiritual – and many others ... This complexity comes at a cost – we simultaneously defend many forts on several fronts. Unable to defend them all 24×7, we experience fear."   - Dr. Amit Sood

Amit Sood, M.D. is director of research in the Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. He also chairs the Mind-Body Medicine Initiative at Mayo Clinic.
