Not every disconnection requires a reconnection.Charity produces clarity.If you deeply desire to misunderstand someone, you will find a thousand ways to misinterpret them.You can’t maintain a campfire with an arsonist.Happiness without purpose is ephemeral.Every time you give yourself permission to be upset, you could also give yourself permission to be happy.Peace cannot be purchased or pursued; it can only be uncovered.Dopamine is the neurochemical that fuels consumerism.Consumerism makes you believe the lie that you are incomplete.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeAdded Value: “Summertime”Book” Dopamine Nation Book: Essential Counseling: Clutter CounselingEvent: Sunday SymposiumInstagram: Lead TesterMore About Less: Chris RyanPodcast: Minimizing Narcissism Podcast: The Science of HappinessResource: 20 Favorite Private Podcast EpisodesWatch: Michael ClaytonWatch: Ninth GateWatch: Seasonality RuleWatch: No Piles RuleWebsite: The Billboard CreativeFollow Our TeamJoshua Fields MillburnRyan NicodemusT.K.
