23. Transcending Divisiveness Makes You Happy

When we think divisively, we usually experience some degree of anger, outrage, worry, fear, or upset. None of these feel great. This episode shows how we can change our state by turning our focus from us/them thinking, with its associated unpleasant emotions, to the elevated and happier feelings of open heartedness. These elevated feelings — curiosity, wonder, compassion, calmness, warmth, contentment, inspiration, gratitude, care, love, kindness, and respect — are available to every one of us. And there is a single key to all of them! The episode is excerpted from Dr. Richard Gillett’s #1 bestselling book: It’s a Freakin’ Mess: How to Thrive in Divisive Times.
