The Less You Seek, The More You’ll Find | The Happiness Paradox
Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/The less we try to think about a blue elephant, the more likely this creature persists in residing in our thoughts. Imagine the blue elephant represents our unhappiness - our dissatisfaction with life - hence the color blue. Obviously, no one likes feeling blue, and when we experience it, we’re likely to try getting rid of it. But the more we try to push it away, the bigger the blue elephant seems to become.Video: The Less You Seek, The More You’ll Find | The Happiness ParadoxSupport the channel:
