你熟悉《柏拉图，不是百忧解:将永恒的智慧应用于日常问题》这本书吗?
我查了一下他(应该说是谷歌了一下)，我看到他还在努力。You can arrange a counseling session with him via Skype!

John, I?m really looking forward to hearing this show on Sunday! Before it goes out though, I want to put down some thoughts based on your above post. The first thing that comes to mind when I hear ?philosophy? and ?therapy? is a phrase that I?ve started using more and more frequently: I?m fairly certain that the instance of mental health issues among philosophy majors is higher than amongst most other majors. I can speak from my own experience only, of course, but from this experience as well as from conversation with fellow philosophy majors, philosophy seems to play some causal role in mental illness, whether that be creating problems where they didn?t exist, or in pushing predispositions into actual manifestations. (Where philosophy is understood both as a method and as something that can influence our approach to life at the most fundamental level.)
There are two ways in which I see this happening, corresponding to the above understandings of philosophy. The first is that philosophy, as a discipline, requires the extended and rigorous use and development of one?s reasoning abilities. Arguably disciplines such as math and physics do so as well, but I think the rigor in philosophy is particularly relevant because it operates exclusively through language, and not (generally) through mathematics. Soon enough, it seems like thinking philosophically creeps out of the classroom and into other aspects of one?s life. But to think deeply about everything is not only exhausting, it also leads to stress and mental health issues.
Second, as you point out above, philosophy has the power to alter one?s beliefs, to guide one to an ultimate truth, if such a truth exists. But for many of us, to arrive at truth is to eschew those false beliefs upon which most others and we generally operate. ?Ignorance is bliss,? as they say, is particularly apt at describing this situation. And if philosophy is to inform more than just our understanding of the society in which we live?if it is to inform our view of how the world is organized?it has the power to shatter more than just our beliefs. I?m thinking specifically here about how it can inform our view of the meaning of life. What if everything is meaningless? Why go on? Tim Ruggiero captures this sentiment particularly well in his Philosophy and Depression.
But for those struggling from an existential depression, perhaps it is the philosopher-therapist alone who can succeed in meaningfully conversing with them?
期待很快听到更多!

Wow! Can't wait to hear this one!

A belief and its relationship to a therapeutic outcome cannot ever be at the same level as philosophy. Beliefs, whether rational (based on previous experiences) or irrational (no evidence sustaining that belief), don?t challenge your mind to think beyond the belief itself, as philosophy does, and encourage that one stick to the commonality of the situation that encounters that belief. This therefore maintains that belief is per se the activity that actually reduces the anxiety, fear, and other such feelings because it comes to be the known situation. Philosophy would disrupt that.

You can learn a lot from the old Greeks, but not everything.
正是对真理的探索把我引向了哲学，哲学在这条路上帮了我大忙。从德谟克利特和柏拉图的洞穴，苏格拉底的问题，到笛卡尔和寻找我，我是谁?这把我引向伟大的东方大师和万物一体。从那里我进入了物理学，爱因斯坦教我简单和他对统一的探索，以及海森堡关于测量不确定性的知识。你必须对科学也有信心，你知道吗?说到信仰，我尝试了宗教，发现他们的屋顶需要修理，所以我推翻了他们的钱桌，转而学习数学。事实就是这样，这个等式比想象的要简单得多……塞内卡让我了解了《财富》杂志和马库斯。然后杰斐逊、林肯和富兰克林带来了自由和平等，非常感谢甘地先生和金牧师。是米开朗基罗带我去了那条河，在那里，真理就在那里，然后去了斯坦福和伯克利，教育，在那里一些美丽的落叶给我证明，我需要的就是一切。
Thanks philosophy and every One else, you were good therapy for me, =

Philosophy as a therapy has helped many people that are going through depression, anxiety or stress. People going through depression does not necessarily need medications, also it is not good for health. One of my friend was in depression from a long time and the treatment he was taking was not effective at all. There are many practical and different ways for everyone to deal with depression. One can also consult to some Professional like Voyante Sérieuse (http://www.martine-voyance.com/consultation) for help, like my friend did. This helped him a lot.
