Busyness as a Distraction: Learn how constant busyness can distract us from deeper questions of meaning and purpose, keeping us from truly reflecting on what we want out of life.
Paying Attention to Attention: We delve into how our patterns of attention shape our experiences and the importance of becoming aware of where our focus goes as we age.
The Art of Small Talk: Discover how balancing listening and sharing in small talk can foster meaningful connections, and why being genuinely interested in others creates better conversations.
The Risk and Reward of Love: Explore how love is a profound yet unpredictable investment, tied to vulnerability, fear of loss, and the willingness to step into the unknown for the sake of connection.
