In today’s episode Ben talks about a surprising day where he learned a lot about what leads to fulfillment in life, how easy it is to abandon our needs in favour of achievement-seeking, and how to reconnect with what those needs really are.
Things mentioned in this podcast
– Ben’s blog post: Dear Mum, I can’t change the world
– Non-Violent Communication, by Marshall Rosenberg: This workshop video on YouTube is pretty comprehensive. If you prefer just audio I also very much like this 2 hour, 2 part audio program from Sounds True, Speaking Peace. If you want the most complete experience, the original 5 hour Non-violent Communication audiobook is wonderful.
Non-Violent Communication has completely changed the way I communicate with and listen to my wife and kids, all to the benefit of our relationships. More on that in another episode…
Notes from Ben 
WOW, the video on Youtube by Marshall Rosenberg is awesome, one of the best things I have ever seen. He really had the ability to make you see things as they really are. I love it and I am to trying to put giraffe language in practice from now on. Thank you for letting me know about him and non-violence communication. Looking forward for this afternoon cause I’m going to have time enough to watch de whole thing
