The Pursuit Of Happiness Vs. Surrender To Joy

The Pursuit Of Happiness Vs. Surrender To Joy

If you have to chase something then it's fleeting. The pursuit of happiness is no different. Happiness and external power is only temporary. What's permanent, and not romanticized enough, is the joy we each contain. The path to joy is simple, but hard work as we surrender to our loving selves. In this episode we'll explore both happiness and joy though a cultural analysis of the 2006 film "The Pursuit of Happyness," starring Will Smith as Chris Gardener.

Our culture rec is the book "Spiritual Partnership: The Journey to Authentic Power" by Gary Zukav

Releasing 2020 & Awakening 2021

Releasing 2020 & Awakening 2021

When we speak of “releasing 2020” it’s more likely we’re focused on letting go pain and ending our suffering. This end to suffering I find best guided in the Buddha’s Four Nobel Truths. What comes with the embodiment of these truths is awakening. 

Our culture rec from Dr. Shefali Tasbary is here: https://youtu.be/0P9SauG4f70

Talent is not the best indicator of success. According to Angela Lee Duckworth, author of “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance,” we should be cultivating our grit instead. This episode we explore what is grit, how it allows us more flow state, is not inhibitive of us having a joyful life and is more likely to move us towards a bigger dreams.

My Dopamine Detox

My Dopamine Detox

After a sluggish few days I suspected I could use a dopamine detox. Because social media and a lot of screen activities give us such quick dopamine hits, it can challenge our concentration toward slower reward activities (like reading, studying, building businesses or other pursuits). However, the slower reward activities tend to be the ones which can most positively impact us and the world. This is how my 24 hour dopamine detox went.
