Zest * Chapter 11 * Bertrand Russell's Conquest of Happiness #14

Описание: We should take heed of the first ingredient Bertrand Russell identifies in his section on the causes of happiness, which is an attitude or energy we bring into our circumstances he calls zest. In this video we explore the nature of this quality alongside more typical attitudes we unconsciously bring into our life that cause negativity, frustration, and suffering for ourselves and others (in particular, he calls out a greedy attitude, an elitist attitude, and an attitude we might link to approaching life as if it were a duty or a chore). Later on, the idea of zest is linked to an Eckhart Tolle teaching called the “3 Modes of Awakened Doing” as found in A New Earth (2008), and then we examine one particularly good role model capturing the spirit of zest.
