Summary
A few months ago, life was normal and predictable. But the coronavirus has drastically changed our lives, seemingly overnight, and we are all reeling from the mental, emotional, and spiritual fallout. It is a challenge for those fighting addiction, but today's guest says it's a special opportunity for those in recovery.
Today, we have Rabbi Simon Jacobson on The SHAIR Podcast. He is the author of the best-selling book Toward a Meaningful Life and heads The Meaningful Life Center. Rabbi Jacobson brings us profound insight and clarity into the chaos and upheaval coping with this pandemic. He urges us to take a deeper look toward our inner resources as a means to cope with the uncertainty of the coronavirus, because the only true security and safety lies in knowing our own souls.
