Hidden in Plain Sight
With Bob Waldinger, MD
Most of what shapes our lives goes unnoticed. This is a weekly practice in noticing. A different way of seeing what’s already here.
What’s included?
Share a moment with Bob
Once a week, Bob provides two simple ways to slow down and appreciate the things that are Hidden in Plain Sight.
A weekly practice
A short guided meditation or simple exercise you can return to during the week—something to try, not master.
A reflection
Bob shares what decades of research, Zen practice, and psychotherapy reveal about how we live—and what tends to matter most.
