Join us for a thoughtful discussion of what creates a good life.
Chuck Price: On Developing Our Right Brain
“We are taught in our professional schools to be rational and to engage in this intellectual process and to engage that left side of our brain, and we learn all these skills… But we’re never taught to live right now.”
“What would it really be like to be completely connected and present in all moments of your life?”
“The predominant message is you are not okay, because you need the thing that I’m selling you.”
“Enlightenment is not novocaine. It is not a way to avoid the pain, disappointment and the frustration of life.”
