The article discusses the contrast between fleeting entertainment and enriching experiences, termed 'soul food.' The author, a clinical psychologist, notes the challenge clients face in prioritizing meaningful activities like watching sunsets over quick thrills like casino trips. While entertainment provides temporary distraction, it often fails to restore genuine well-being. The piece emphasizes the importance of recognizing the deeper benefits of activities that foster connection, purpose, and personal growth, advocating for daily integration of such habits for long-term fulfillment.

The same individuals might readily plan and execute a weekend trip to Las Vegas... but rarely feeling genuinely restored.
Entertainment typically involves activities sought for pleasure... But do they leave us feeling fundamentally better inside?
