Oprah & Arthur Brooks: Build the Life You Want - Episode 2 | Oprah's Super Soul | OWN Podcasts

In Episode Two of the Build the Life You Want Super Soul Podcast, Oprah and Arthur Brooks, co-authors of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Build the Life You Want, take questions from readers who are curious how to make their own lives happier with the science-based research and actionable practices from the book. Arthur Brooks explains that living a happier life starts with focusing less on yourself by saying, “Your load is lightened when you’re helping another person. You’re going to draw love to yourself when you actually give it.” Oprah and Arthur Brooks also talk to readers who are struggling with envy and “the disease to please” as well as the sometimes difficult “Family Pillar of Happiness.” Arthur Brooks has advice on how to address what he calls the one-directional “emotional ATM” in families and why one of the hardest challenges with loved ones is forgiveness.

"Envy is wanting something that someone else has. And you may actually want that person to have it too but you also want it. Jealousy is the fear of loosing what you have to someone else. Malicious envy is not only do you want what someone else has but you don't want them to have it."

I ran across this quote & thought what a great way to ease the burden of envy. It also aligns with the admiration idea. "Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well" - Voltaire.

I love this series. Need to get the book. I searched for a couple years for a home. I used a popular home search site but refused to save homes that were listed as contingent. In my mind that’s wanting something that’s not available. It’s coveting - and would have been toxic amidst the already stressful exercise of trying to find a home. God switched the perfect home for me from contingent to available at the exact moment that I asked Him to take over.

I love what a Human Design person said that Giving from the 3rd Chakra is from the Ego and from the 4th is from the Heart so it is discernable.
So nice to get a visual and visceral internal reference. peace

Beautiful, beautiful conversation! Would love some feedback on forgiveness and ‘letting go’ when parents haven’t taken accountability, haven’t changed, sometimes deny traumatic experience, and are still exhibiting the same hurtful behavior years later. Though the violence has disappeared as we’ve gotten older and found our voices, my brothers and I still find it incredibly difficult to have a relationship with our parents.

I love that Oprah mentioned the story about her friend and the husband saying he “didn’t want to talk about it”. It’s easy to forgive but it makes it feel impossible to move forward.

He spoke so fast, I don’t know which book he mentioned that everybody should read about letting their childhood grudges go.
