Lesson 1

Enough Is Enough

Enough is a very subjective word, by no means is it self-evident. Due to the vague nature of the word we can spend our lives feeling like we don't have it, and that hurts us. In this episode let me show you have to escape this state of mind.

Lesson 4

How We Want Things

Your brain is a fascinating part of your body. It is where all of your reality takes place, it is where your desires are felt and it's where habits are formed. Learn how the process of your brain makes you want things and how you can get into a habit of spending even when you don't need to. Then learn how you can stop bad habits and form new ones.

Lesson 5

How To Stop Wanting And Start Having

"Comparison is the thief of all joy" Theodore Roosevelt. So much of our feeling of inadequacy comes from our comparison to others. Learn about how this mechanism of comparison can keep us down and what we can do to overcome it. I'll also give you a summary of what we have learned so far.

I really enjoyed this short but to the point course. I loved “what are these emotional holes we’re trying to fill with our money?” The temptation of all the ads and slogans for this or that best new thing are constantly feeding into our minds and playing on our emotions, if we let them. Makes me think of the song “All we need is love!” by the Beatles. Thank you for this course!

As always, his course brought great insight and awareness. So many things were brought to light and now with this insight and awareness I feel much better. And I love the quote from his mom, "compare and despair". And Apex Fallacy was most assuredly an eye-opener. Amazing course!

Excellent perspectives on enough. Your work is excellent once again. Thank you for this series. I appreciate the straight talk. I will find another series for the drive home tomorrow, or maybe listen to this and the philosophers again. Thank you Julie

Hi Doug! There are many sources that (try to) teach us about "abundance" but I doubted if we really need it, and that's the reason I got into this course. After finishing it, my conclusion is that we need "enoughness" , a sense of balance to enjoy what we have and not desire (o buy) things we don't need just because other people have it or because it's "the best thing there's on the market right now". Personally I'm so grateful that you take the time and share this knowledge. As always, a very helpful information. I can tell you did this course from the heart ❤️🙏

Thanks for such a great course! Really opened my eyes to a lot of things I wasn't that aware of, such as how well off I already am. Logical and practical and easy to understand, very worthwhile and rewarding teachings.
