The Only Way Out Of Depression | Harvard Professor Robert Waldinger in Conversation With Gurudev

In this insightful conversation, Robert Waldinger, Harvard professor and Director of the Longest Study on Happiness, sits down with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living, to explore the profound connections between the mind, body, and soul. They discuss the challenge of overcoming depression, how the mind can feel like a prison, and the importance of cultivating energy through meditation and awareness.

Gurudev shares wisdom on the three bodies—the gross, subtle, and causal—and how meditation, breathing techniques, and music can awaken the subtle body, ultimately leading to a life of service and fulfillment. Waldinger, reflecting on his work with medical students, asks about the deeper meaning of a soul free from sorrow, and how to help others expand their awareness beyond the limits of the physical body, even when faced with illness.

Together, they explore ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools for cultivating happiness, developing intuition, and finding freedom from sorrow.
