Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Why does it hurt so much when we don't get what we want? Is disappointment an inevitable consequence of being a human being?
In this episode John talks about how an amazing capacity of the human mind, that no other animal has, can set us up for a war with reality. And in the process, create insane amounts of unnecessary suffering. Listen to find out:
- How wanting things to be different causes us pain
- Why our imagination is often the real source of our suffering
- How developing our capacity for acceptance gives us more peace of mind
"Any reality gap that opens in your life is going to be a problem; it's going to cause you some pain and suffering. And closing the gap is the solution."
