Learning To Be Happy

#2 What We Really Want

In this episode we ask ourselves... what do I want, and more importantly, why? Knowing what we really want is not so much a 'thing' but rather, a felt experience, puts us in a very powerful position. Listen now and find out how.

#3 "How", is The Magic Question

We tend to assume that events cause us to feel good or bad, that when someone compliments us and we have a nice feeling, that they have -made- us feel that way... but how? There are no feeling molecules entering our body. How are physical experiences translated into happiness and unhappiness? "How", is the magic question for breaking down the assumptions we've let rule our lives... where do our feelings really come from? They come from our mind!

#4 What Really Makes Us Happy

A true cause of happiness should only make us feel good, never make us feel bad, and make us feel better the more we have of it. Do the things you crave and spend time pursuing really meet this definition? In this episode we look at what can and cannot make us truly happy.

#5 Happiness Is Not About Getting What We Want

This episode's a summary of the first three episodes, touching on important points, like what we really want, where our feelings come from and what will really make us happy. As we develop our appreciation, gratitude, love and compassion for the present, we soon realise that happiness has nothing to do with getting what we want.

#6 The Habit of Wanting

This episode discusses habit and familiarity in relation to the way we think and feel. 'Wanting', as a thought and feeling is a habit like all others, and if we're ever going to feel content, we need to make a habit of "having".
