What School Doesn't Teach You About Happiness | Ash Butterss | TEDxMornington

Drawing from her personal experience achieving external success and yet still hitting rock bottom, Ash Butterss reveals the secret to embodying genuine happiness. She debunks the common misbelief that external achievements lead to lasting happiness and explains why authentic joy starts with nurturing the relationship with self. Ash explores the human tendency to avoid emotional pain and the disconnection caused by living a life of distraction. She advocates for facing discomfort and learning to sit with oneself as a crucial step toward healing.
Ash says the final piece of the happiness puzzle, is surrendering fear. She challenges viewers to envision a life without fear holding them back, encouraging people to pursue dreams aligned with their purpose. Ash concludes that happiness is an inside-out job, emphasising the importance of removing invisible armour, practicing mindfulness, and letting go of fear for a transformative life. Ash Butterss is a Recovery and Mental Health warrior who is on a mission to remove the stigma around mental health, trauma and addiction. A certified yoga teacher, Ash takes on a holistic approach to supporting people’s transformation of mind, body and spirit. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
