You're Gonna Be Alright No Matter What: On Facing Anger, Aging, and Loss With Humor and Grace | Sylvia Boorstein

1 tim 6 min•29 juli 2026

The legendary dharma teacher on self-acceptance, the two-sentence trick she uses on her own anger, and what actually makes her happy after 90 years of living.

Sylvia Boorstein, PhD, LCSW is a co-founding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre California and the author of five books on Buddhism, Mindfulness, and particularly That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist: On Being a Faithful Jew and a Passionate Buddhist.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Why turning 90 makes the Buddha's teachings on impermanence feel real instead of theoretical
  • The line Sylvia repeats to herself that's become the antidote to ill will and anger
  • Why "there's always a hand to hold" might be the whole point of being alive
  • The four (or three) noble truths, reworked in Sylvia's own words
  • A grocery store treat that turned into an unexpected lesson about where happiness actually comes from
  • What she says to people who are dying, and why it's not a lie
  • And much more
