“In The Arena takes in the big topics around human potential and the discussion is deep and to the point. Always.
Personally, I eally enjoyed the 1st of March In the Arena on ‘happiness’. Have often reflected on what makes me / us happy and how to get (more of) it…don’t we all?
What I learnt here is that sometimes we can construct happiness in our heads as something over the horizon, ie. Something we don’t have. A destination far from here, if you will. We then experience suffering as we don’t yet have or can see or feel that thing over the horizon. For me, this has fuelled my own consumerism and lack of deeper thought on what it really means to be at peace (better than a happiness surge). The irony is of course when we get that thing or experience, we are somewhat empty after the initial dopamine hit evaporates. Practically, I’ll admit that this podcast made me completely rethink the reasons why I wanted to buy an expensive new car (that will surely make me happy???) …and commit to figuring out what brings me real contentedness and peace instead. Thank you, Leah and LI team. James”
