How to enjoy the ride, part 2.
In part 2 of my series, How to enjoy the ride, I explore some hard truths about our lives that actually make life more worth living.
In this episode, I discuss:
- The two kinds of happiness and how an over focus on one versus the other can make us miserable;
- Cognitive time travel and how we can improve our enjoyment of life by learning to operate our inner time machine;
- How we don’t really matter as much as we think we do and how that is a good thing;
- And finally, how embracing change and the shortness of our time on this planet can actually be liberating.
Here are some links to some of the resources I mention in this episode:
- Meditation app, Waking Up, which also contains Burkeman’s 11-minute talk on Cognitive Insignificance Therapy. You can get a free trial by clicking on this link.
- And finally, here is the wonderful essay by Jane Park, called What is the greatest unit of time for living?
