The Secular Seeker’s Guide to Taoism: Inner Peace Without Incense with Diane Dreher, PhD

About this episode

Diane Dreher discusses how Taoism and positive psychology can help individuals find inner peace and connection in a chaotic world.

Finding connection and inner peace may seem unattainable in this chaotic, complex modern world, but a centuries-old text can serve as a vital guide. By exploring the Tao, beginners and seekers can navigate the complexities of contemporary life through the lens of secular spirituality. To discover how positive psychology can help us find connection, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Diane Dreher, PhD, bestselling author of eight nonfiction books, including The Tao of Inner Peace, and an award-winning professor and positive psychology researcher on hope. Diane unpacks the central tenet of her latest book, Pathways to Inner Peace: Finding Connection, Inspiration, and Renewal in Challenging Times, and offers insights on the different types of stress, the benefits of cultivating joy and hope, and a formula for goal setting and achievement.
