Zen and the art of feeling bad

Press/Media: Expert Comment

Description

Article for the Belgian (Flemish) newspaper De Standaard. In reaction to a headline of an article, saying that the University of Ghent is doing research on whether children can feel better by means of meditation, I try to explain why it is just as important for meditation to help us learn feel bad. To deal with it. And to develop a critical mindset for really improving matters.
