How to Enjoy the Ride, Part 2.

In Part 2 of my series, “How to Enjoy the Ride”, I explore some hard truths about our lives that actually make life more worth living.


In this episode, I discuss:

• The two kinds of happiness and how an over focus on one versus the other can make us miserable;
• Cognitive time travel and how we can improve our enjoyment of life by learning to operate our inner time machine;
• How we don’t really matter as much as we think we do and how that is a good thing;
• And finally, how embracing change and the shortness of our time on this planet can actually be liberating.

Here are links to resources I mention in the podcast.

  • Four Thousand Weeks, Time Management for Mortals, by Oliver Burkeman.
  • The meditation app, Waking Up by Sam Harris. This link leads you to a free trial.
  • And finally, here is the wonderful essay by Jane Park, called What is the greatest unit of time for living?
