Why Aren’t We Happier?: A Dharma Talk with Dr. Cheryl
Manage episode 424111455 series 2930026
Want to rate your relationship on the three keys to great long term love? Take the Passion Quiz.
“Dr. Cheryl, why am I so unhappy?”
“I’m always upset—How can I learn to go with the flow?”
“Nothing good ever happens to me, what’s the secret to happiness?”
Why is it that we’re so puzzled about the fundamental ground of what leads to more happiness and less suffering? As it turns out, there is a way to be happy for no reason, a way to have a better, healthier relationship with the person you love, and a way to be a better person.
Today’s episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants features a Dharma Talk that I gave last month on happiness, negativity, and the coping mechanisms we use to deal with it all.
Tune in and hear my teachings about the most universal experiences that none of us get to escape and the fact that we, as humans, don’t get to change reality.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- We’re all going to die—it’s important to make time for wholesome activities (01:40)
- Reality sucks sometimes, mortality and loss and suffering is real (10:01)
- How we react to big, difficult, painful losses is our choice (18:57)
- We cling and try to manipulate reality so it works for us, but it’s a fool's errand (25:48)
- Today’s LoveByte (50:54)
