- What if you stopped trying to do everything? Oliver Burkeman explores our use of time, including how to reject the futile obsession with 'getting everything done' and build a meaningful life by embracing, rather than denying, our limits. This conversation with Dr Mark Williamson was recorded at an Action for Happiness event on 25 May 2022 actionforhappiness.org
I've been a great fan of Oliver's work and have been putting his philosophy into practice for many years and found this talk so, so helpful. Especially loved the question "Will this activity enlarge or diminish me?" and the final thought that we don't HAVE to change or accomplish anything - just do it because it's fun and interesting, stop putting pressure on ourselves!
Thank you Oliver for challenging the use of this word ‘Happiness’. It sticks in my gullet too.
What we really need is so much deeper. I,ve been getting irritated by some of the AfH daily tips….
Dr Phil Hammond is such a good place to start with CLANGers. But this all shies away from feeding the spirit. Nourishing the soul. We are indeed body, mind and spirit but so uncomfortable acknowledging this. That great Persian mystic poet Rumi puts it so well, we need to spend time in each ‘room’ every day.
I wasn't able to watch live I'm in USA-MN but was so excited to watch the recording.. Time management is so hard to balance these days between work, play & growth. "Infinite Impulses" is so correct! Thank You for bringing this conversation to Action for Happiness. #SpeakUpReachOutAndCommunicate #BeeTrue2YouBlooms #HealingMynd
Thank you. Relearned a lot. I was impressed that you share your own life experiences and how you have learned from them.
WOW I have a million and one things to do today and I was going to break my ass to return some packages that I still have at least 20 days left to do it 😂 chill Vee
You embrace your limits..
.. I'm not going to embrace mine.
That's just B.S.
