The service of joy, especially in these times

I've talked to rabbis, priests, monks, and people who I consider to be high esoteric practitioners. I’ve figured out a few things about joy… and woven them into this week’s episode. Listen in for:

• Should you leave your soul-dulling job and follow your joy to France? (Maybe.) I’ve got some ideas on HOW to buck fear and obligation.
• The difference between happiness and joy, and a story from my divorce about the first time that I really understood the truth about joy.
• Are you addicted to longing? Waking up to the corruption and addiction in our own psyches, community, and society. Starting to make more holistic choices.
• Moving towards joy: Two questions to help you remove the debris, and create more space for light to move in.
• The 3 kinds of “happy lives”, Sensitive New Age Guys, Flow Boys…
• And finally: Living in joy without feeling like you’re betraying your (or anyone else’s) pain. Shedding the achievement, possessing, having, striving ways to be “happy” and focusing on one way to be joyful—to serve.
