How to Actually Be Present | Matthew Brensilver
10% Happier with Dan Harris
Becoming and the Tragedy of Deferring Happiness
This chapter explores the concept of becoming in the Buddhist world and the constant sense of never fully arriving and always deferring happiness. It delves into the meditative perspective of continuously striving for more insight and concentration, extracting from the present moment rather than offering oneself fully to it. The chapter emphasizes the tragic quality of never allowing the heart to rest and always seeking happiness somewhere else.
