Happiness is....



Surely this sign should read: 'Unhappiness? try a Therapy' Neal's Yard Remedies are selling remedies for unhappiness, they are selling short term happiness, happiness as a feeling, which allows us to temporarily escape from life's bigger problems.





That's fine, but it is a sad state of affairs. Stepping back out onto the busy pavement with your bag full of therapy and your reciept for a 'holisitic massage' weighing you down is just like when you get home after a shopping spree, an exotic holiday, or a big night out on the tiles, a sudden realisation hits you that, 'shit, all those problems are still there just waiting for me.'


Treat yourself: Get off the hedonic treadmill, find wellbeing through well doing!

Nature's Lead

I've just started listening to Nature's Lead... it is a podcast, you can get it from iTunes, or from the the Nature's lead website here: www.natureslead.com

The narrator draws on the romantics from both sides of the Atlantic to explore what they can teach us about the way we live. Each episode lasts about 10 minutes and explores a different subject each time! Well worth a listen, but you do need to concentrate!
