Positivity: can we really think our way to happiness?


Listen Later

It really looks like we can, doesn't it? 

We've been told for so long to get the right mindset in order to be happy and successful and it's really looked like the 'right' mindset is a happy one.

What we point to in this episode is that, for all these years, we've been trying to reverse-engineer a natural process, a natural capacity within each of us. The mind has grabbed hold of an experience it likes the look of, it's attempted to fix it in place as 'wanted' and deny the 'unwanted' and then it's set about gathering strategies and tactics to 'do' positivity. All in pursuit of that nice feeling it remembers - and which deep down we know is available, we've just been told to look in the wrong place.

The more we look and inquire and prod and poke these beliefs we've been handed, the more the story falls apart and - counter to what the mind would tell us - the more we rediscover what was already here.

So sit back, relax and listen as we do just that with the ideas of positivity, happiness and hope.
