Eliminate Excess Suffering By Identifying 'The Second Arrow' | Ep 239

Eliminate Excess Suffering By Identifying 'The Second Arrow' | Ep 239

Update: 2024-02-11

Description

Life will shoot us with the first arrow - these are real injuries, setbacks, losses and pain.

But the greater cause of our suffering comes form ‘the second arrow’ - the fear, anxieties, ruminations, and other internal mechanisations that we dwell upon.

In this episode I discuss the concept of the second arrow, as well as how we can use it to eliminate significant amounts of excess (and useless) suffering.
