171 - How about becoming who you are? The eternal quest for happiness
Finding happiness and balance in life seems to be an eternal quest for humans. Yet, despite our efforts, many of us are running in circles and chasing impossible dreams - and feeling unfulfilled in the process.
In this interview with best-selling author Ryan A. Bush (who wrote Designing the mind), we will discuss this very topic and in particular, but not only:
- What is a virtue, or skill?
- Why having virtues enhances our life?
- What happens when we embrace new and uncomfortable change?
- Why comfort is actually a barrier to virtue
- Why life is good - as long as you keep moving (hint: this is not a suggestion to overwhelm your schedule!)
- How Ryan conquered social anxiety.... and much more!
Ryan is a deep thinker and has blended together the teachings of ancient philosophers, spirituality, neuroscience and psychology, creating a fascinating recipe for a happier existence. His motto is,
'Don't waste a minute of your life being less than you can be.'
