Pathways to peace, happiness, joy, and fulfillment in 32 steps. — I spent my 32nd birthday in Byron Bay — a small Aussie beach town known for its beaches, coastline, and serenity. For me, Byron is a chance to reconnect with nature, indulge in vegan eats, and reflect. While staying there, I considered what I’ve learned over the past 32 years…

Gratitude can boost both serotonin and dopamine. — Today millions of Americans celebrated Thanksgiving.

Nothing in the external world will ever make you truly happy. It’s human nature to seek. But what if that seeking isn’t leading us to contentment? What if it’s the very thing that’s leading us away? The more I’ve lived, the more I’ve realized that nothing in the world can…

It only takes 10 minutes. — I don’t think Mooji is peaceful. I think he is peace. If you follow his teachings you’ll realize that peace is within you too. It’s within all of us. Seeing that for oneself though can be tricky business. There is calm within you sure, but you have a busy life…
