最近聽了幾個有趣的podcast

第一個是關於Dr Edith Eger的訪問。Edith Eger是猶太人，一個心理醫生，也是第二次世界大戰的倖存者。另一個podcast是關於Mo Gawdat的訪問，Mo是一個電腦奇才，以前是google x 的cheif business officer。一個非常成功的人。

他們雖然有著非常不同的人生遭遇，但是他們都不約而同對Happy Life有著相同的理念 - 面對真正的自己。明白和了解最真實的自己，知道什麼會讓自己開心，才不會被外面所有的枷鎖蒙蔽自己，讓自己心靈完全自由。

“We wear different masks and hide our reality from everyone, including ourselves. Our assumed identities becomes our whole lives, and we start to believe them—even more than others do.” - Mo Gawdat

“Once the thought goes, the suffering disappears! When a rude person offends you, he can’t really make you unhappy, unless you turn the event into a thought, then allow it to linger in your brain, and then allow it to distress you. It’s the thought, not the actual event, that’s making you unhappy.” - Mo Gawdat

“Here you are! In the sacred present. I can’t heal you—or anyone—but I can celebrate your choice to dismantle the prison in your mind, brick by brick. You can’t change what happened, you can’t change what you did or what was done to you. But you can choose how you live now. My precious, you can choose to be free.” - Edith Eger

他們兩個的書和podcast都提醒了我，被社會定義的“成功”不一定是我想要的成功，不斷去追尋不是我想要的，只會越來越讓自己失望和痛苦。
