Episode 62 My beliefs on happiness- taken from my book...to be released so very soon....I will let you know when the pre order date arrives :) Merry Xmas my friends   Quote from my book...   “Here is what I believe   I have touched on some of my ideas about happiness already and we will explore this topic in more depth in the next chapter. What is important for you to know now are some of my beliefs about happiness in general and about your happiness specifically. These beliefs have been distilled in my mind over time. They are the result of hard thinking and hard learning, and they inform my approach to happiness in this book. What I believe is this:   Happiness is a state of mind that you can only feel today, not yesterday nor tomorrow. If you look for happiness in the future, you risk being perpetually unsatisfied, like a donkey forever following an elusive carrot that suspended on a rod from his forehead. 2 Happiness is an individual, subjective experience, which means that only you will know what happi

  Episode 61 How to be happy - the set point theory- Genetics versus experience I explore 'set point theory' in todays podcast. Research shows that people shortly after winning tattslotto go back to the same level of happiness that they experienced before winning the money...why is that? Why doesn't the money make us feel happy? Some happiness philosophers in particular Martin Seligman believe that it is because of set point theory. A theory which proposes that we inherit a set level of happiness which does not have a lot of scope for movement. So how do we change our happiness levels? Not from possessions, money, or status but from experience..... My name is Lauren Ostrowski Fenton. I am a writer, life coach, meditation teacher, & proud mum of four.

Episode 56 We are one family   We are one family. Today I talk about my journey, the refugees, tolerance, and the principle of being one single family. The moment we define our family by the shores of our seas, the boundaries of our towns, or our own front door is the moment that we put into place exclusion, intolerance, and discrimination. We are one humanity, we are one family. Any religion, institution or process of socialization which divides or categorises only destroys "us". We cannot bring together by separating!
