We chat about how it’s interesting that now that we have research around psychological theory - whether it's through neuroscience or more applied research studies - we're seeing that many of these ancient approaches work.

But remember that every technique will not work for everybody - so definitely give them a try, practice them with an open mind and see what works for you. There will be something that does but you have to try to be able to know for sure. Here’s a summary of the 8 rules: 

1) It’s not events that cause us suffering, but our opinion about events.

2) Our opinions are often unconscious, but we can bring them to consciousness by asking ourselves questions.

3) We can’t control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we react.

4) Choose your perspective wisely.

5) Habits are powerful. 

6) Fieldwork is vital.

7) Virtue is sufficient for happiness. 

8) We have ethical obligations to our community.
