How To Be Alone

Sobre este episódio

<p>We're always told to reach for that next ring, work that third job, go to that boisterous party after a long day at work. You only live once ... right? But psychologist <a href="https://www.reading.ac.uk/pcls/staff/netta-weinstein">Netta Weinstein</a> says that when we constantly engage in achievement and distraction, we lose something essential about ourselves. This week, she makes a case for solitude, and examines what happens when we seek a quieter, more reflective interior life.</p><p><i>If you like today's episode, check out our two-part series on mindfulness:</i></p><p><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/seeking-serenity-part-1/"><i>Seeking Serenity: Part 1</i></a></p><p><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/seeking-serenity-part-2/"><i>Seeking Serenity: Part 2</i></a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
