Good is What Makes You Feel Well
Aaron Poochigian on The Unexpected Healing Power of Central Park
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
True healing happens when we open ourselves to the beauty around us—the beauty in the silence, in the trees, in the animals, in poetry, and through the beauty of learning to be present with ourselves again.
In this conversation, you’ll learn tools for addiction recovery and for a creativity boost. You’ll also hear how profoundly natural beauty can be to restore the human spirit.
My guest, Aaron Poochigian, is a poet, classics scholar, translator, and author whose life and work beautifully bridge literature, philosophy, and the healing power of nature.
Aaron has translated some of the world’s most timeless voices, including Sappho and Marcus Aurelius, and his writing has appeared in publications such as *The Financial Times*, *The New York Review of Books*, and *Poetry Magazine*.
But beyond his academic and literary accomplishments, Aaron’s personal journey is one of transformation.
A former cocaine addict, Aaron found himself, like many during the pandemic, craving peace, inspiration, and reconnection after a season of isolation. And unexpectedly, he found it in Central Park.
What began as a simple contemplation of this iconic urban sanctuary became a way to reconnect with life itself.
This experience inspired his beautiful new book, *Four Walks in Central Park*, a unique guidebook written entirely in verse.
This episode is a reminder that creativity is sparked by activating our senses during idle time.
