ABOUT THIS EPISODE
“I’ve discovered along the way that happiness — you live in two worlds here. Happiness is pleasure, and happiness is joy. Pleasure is short-lived; joy doesn’t go as high as pleasure, but it stays with you.” -George Lucas
Ruminations on small practices, and the limitations resulting from human nature. Discussion of social stimulation as an incentive to participate, and as an obstacle to a small practice. Exploration of pain, natural differences between different people, and how to learn more about yourself. Why can’t we just run miles and do pushups and get swole all by ourselves? Investigated here!
