The Prosperity of Usefulness

The Dalai Lama says that a meaningful life is to be happy and useful. Can we start to consider prosperity as finding aliveness in being happy and useful?    EPISODE NOTES: Isolation, lockdown and shelter at home orders have forced us to go inwards and consider what we really value in this life and in this world. We have glimpsed what the world needs right now. Not only are new ideas for being emerging, but so are the hidden truths and inequalities of our global community and economy.   In this episode we consider how we can turn these glimpses of a emerging new world into systems and processes that turn these glimpses into reality. We consider how thinkers like Steiner took deep thinking and emergent ideas and then engineered them into long lasting institutions. What can we learn from those like Steiner to create new realities right now?   Dive deeper with our recommended resources:   ‘Extreme Economies’ by Richard Davies ‘The Interpretation of Fairy Tales’ by Marie Louise Von Franz Indian Man Plants Forest Bigger Than Central Park to Save His Island, National Geographic   --- Please subscribe and leave us a review so that more people may find this podcast.   We’d love to continue this conversation with you on our Instagram account.   If you'd like to hear more from Lisa, Deb and Joseph, make sure you also subscribe to their podcast, This Jungian Life.
