Do Life Hacks Work?
Manage episode 347271037 series 2795091
Dave Schmelzer loves life hacks, but has found that they often have a shorter shelf life than he'd hoped. Contemplatives have a surprising answer for why that might be. Life hacks, they tell us, come from a world view saturated in original sin: your problems come from your fundamental laziness that has to be overcome. But maybe we don't need to overcome anything. Maybe we already have a deep happiness that we can access as we quiet down a bit. Rami Shapiro and Anthony DeMello and Tara Brach help us here.
Mentioned on this podcast:
Rami Shapiro's book Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent
Anthony DeMello's book Stop Fixing Yourself: Wake Up, All is Well
Tara Brach's book Radical Acceptance
