The Dr CK Bray Show

EPISODE 304 In an age of complete freedom, that space can be great, but a bit daunting. Many people are being told to “shoot for the stars”, “do whatever you want”, or “just be you”. This can be great advice, but many are still discovering what their dreams really are, and who they really are. These phrases leave them inspired and directionless. In response, many seek out the “aesthetic life”, in hopes that these questions will be answered. Listen to discover what that is, if this is a philosophy you buy into, and how to discover who you are.

EPISODE 303 We are told time and time again that we need to live deeply-rooted and committed lives. We are told to seek joy allow it to permeate our experiences. Yet, rarely are we told “HOW”. How do couples stay together through hard times, and come out closer? How do people create experiences that create a space for joy in their lives? We will explore the difference between happiness and joy, discuss experiences of those who have been “successful”, and discover how to make your life grounded in commitment and joy.

Episode 302 What is your life about and who is your life about? Society tells us one story (and it is a powerful one!), but today Dr. Bray discusses a different view that can make all the difference. Join Dr. Bray for a three-part series on examining different aspects of your life and questioning your motives, your habits and what it really means to have purpose and make a difference. This podcast series was inspired by the book, The Second Mountain by David L. Brooks.
