In Our Nature

That Always-Tired Feeling: Thought Problem, Body Problem, or Something Else?


Listen Later

Tired? Yep. Seems many of us are struggling with tiredness as the speed of society gathers pace each year. This episode is about 34 minutes. Take a nap and we'll wake you at the end. There's nothing new here. You know it all already. You just don't like it (and me too).

We'll explore: 

  • The increase in tiredness and exhaustion in modern society - is this a thing?
  • My experience with tiredness (clue: I did not "coach" myself out of it or transcend tiredness through realisation or insight)
  • What place does an understanding about the nature of thought have in a conversation about tiredness?
  • Why resting is not as simple as it once was, and why we look beyond naps and sleep to our thoughts, instead, for relief and solutions
  • The interconnectedness of all things and why this matters when we are tired (well - it always matters)
  • Why understanding the interconnected relationship between mind, body, environment and society is crucial
  • Anxious Alice gets fresh
