Hi. I found this post interesting. I practice Buddhism and have studied Dogen. So I reached out to a Buddhist author and teacher whom I admire to ask what he thought. And he made a video about my question and your essay. And he linked to your essay.
Hey William, thanks for reaching out and it's interesting that you reached out to Brad about it. I had seen his video earlier today and bookmarked it to watch later without realizing it was a commentary of my blog post :D
Glad Brad didn't roast me in his video and I agree with his comments about Zen as self-help.
I would have much more to write about this subject and my own approach to it...
