  • Episode 10: Can love be found in another person?

    The belief that love is found in another person is prevalent in western society. Is love shared or is it acquired? When we look to our intimate partner to bring us happiness, does this breed resentment and co-dependency in the long-run? Sam explores this important topic.

  • Episode 9: Getting in the Zone

  • Episode 5: Relaxed Excellence

    This podcast explores the true nature of relaxed excellence. Sam talks about how relaxation is not made by consciousness effort. Healthy and productive effort arises when there is a realisation that there is no conscious effort behind it. All powerful, free-flowing performances are never driven by will-power, but driven by the relinquishing of will and the ‘I’ thought that wants to take credit for our experiences. The ‘I’ thought is always after the event.  Evidence of this is when we lose our sense of self in an activity. For example; playing sport, painting a picture and listening to music. There is no reference or memory of ‘I’ when we are absorbed in our activity.

  • Episode 2: Is this the end of Positive Psychology?

    Has a mental health expert ever found a mind? If they haven’t, can we really build a credible industry around something that hasn’t been found in the objective world.
