A lot of the research that's been happening over the last generation into what makes people happy. By far, the most important determinant of how happy one is is e. It's not about getting more money. Rather, it's about the quality of your relationships with other people. I'm immediately reminded ofa joseph campbell member that great line, follow your bliss.

The first guest on Emerge is author, philosopher and activist David Loy. David and I first met at the Occupy Boulder General Assembly and our relationship grew from there. David work sits at the intersection of contemplative wisdom and social justice, making him a perfect first guest for Emerge. In this episode we discuss the ways stories limit and liberate us, the symptoms of living in a world between stories, the nature of the (7+ billion) new stories, the difficulty of acting in integrity with what you know is true, and how to find the meaning of your life. Enjoy! NOTE: Please forgive the strange audio glitches in the interview. The content of this interview is still awesome. :)
