Effectiveness

Sheepism is an answer to our challenge of choosing a life in the overwhelming possibilities offered in modern times.  Most people in our society have chosen this solution - are you able to find happiness using this limited formula?

If you reject Sheepism for whatever reason, you'll have to consider your own personality and what you hope for and expect out of life, because your way is certain to take more effort and be more challenging.

The huge variety of pleasures and rewards available mean that every choice we make can be upgraded, almost infinitely.  Each upgrade takes a piece of your attention and resources - you have to work for that fancy car!

Although everyone's values are different, and everyone will benefit from different choices, some choices are better than others.  In this episode we talk about what you need, and the higher benefit you can often get from paying attention to, and enriching, those areas of your life that meet those needs.

There are aspects of your personality and behavior that you don't want to admit, either to those around you, or to yourself.  Maybe you like having this darker side; maybe you enjoy doing those things, so you keep them hidden so you don't have to stop doing them.

This episode talks about accepting yourself as you are, and then making better plans for your life, dealing with people better, and maybe also making changes that include knowing who you actually are and the choices you actually make.

Your relationships - business, friendship, romantic - are not where they need to be.  You are spending too much time and effort, and getting too little of what you want.  That's probably true for the people you're in relationships with.

This podcast discusses how to know what you actually can enjoy with another person, and then limiting the relationship to those things.  We talk about dreams you have of unattainable romances, and how to attain them.

Some relationships are a burden, that is, they bring less than they take from you, and we talk about how to know when you're in a relationship that you need to put and end to.

We live in a time of abundance.  Hunger and suffering are vanishing, but they are being replaced by the sense that we could make more of the wonderful opportunities our lives offer.

This podcast discusses ideas centered on more effective living - getting more out of life, living a life that more closely meets your needs, and removing problems from your life that are taking your attention and reducing your happiness.
