The Only Audio Course on Joy I can Vouch for
Since I am super busy during my everyday life, with a nine to five job and an endless list of errands, I usually fail to give enough attention to bringing a sense of joy and happiness into my life. Depression and demotivation were slowly kicking in lately and I knew I had to take action. To inject a sense of happiness into my life, I have turned to Joeel & Natalie Rivera’s course about keys to happiness and I am happy to have done so!
The practical course contains six keys, each with a dedicated lecture or ‘layer’ as the instructors put them. The intro which is quite long, yet comprehensive opens the course. The intro focuses on looking at happiness from a different vantage point, which really compelled me to rethink the concept of happiness. I also loved the ‘layer’ on desire, which is more or less about being able to suppress our desire since fulfilling them does not always lead to happiness.
Limiting the beliefs, we engage in is the focal point of the next layer, which is lucidly explained by Natalie. Joeel picks up the layers, which focus on thinking differently about our identity and ego. Succeeding lecture, which I thought was a bit longer, focuses on being in the now as opposed to anticipating the future. And Joeel and Natalie continue peeling off the layers, which are about controlling our emotions and staying clear of negative patterns of emotions. Finally, as I have peeled off all the layers one by one, I am confident that I have the tools in place to eliminate the things that prevent me from being happy and to ensure that I am not shaped and defined by the desires and wants of others.
I loved that Joeel and Natali use lots of real-life examples, derived from their backgrounds and quotes from other people, which I thought was really cool and have made the course way easier to study. The course has been useful in terms of teaching how to create a foundation of happiness, that is sustainable as opposed to seeking instant gratification, which wears off pretty quickly.
Overall, what I appreciated about the course is that unlike most of the courses on happiness that involve rarefied physiological concepts, this audio course is flat out simple. The simplicity, the clarity and the organization of this particular course have made it my go-to guide for happiness tips, and I am sure that is going to be the case with everyone who gives it a try!
