The Deep Stuff
Dialogues for Everyone!
Why is it that we don’t ask what thinking is, where it’s useful and where it isn’t?
A dialogue on Happiness at Work or School
Let’s talk about what happiness really is - can the company really make any employee happy? Or is happiness something that comes from a deep sense of passion. Do I rely on the external to create happiness for me, and therefore, I constantly seek approval from others, or is it something deep inside of me that is not triggered by the know. What is the difference between joy and happiness?
What will we talk about?
This is the fourth dialogue of the series. At this point, we have come to understand, through other dialogues, what relationships, what wellbeing is, and also how there is no need to separate the conscious and unconscious. In this talk, we will look at why we are constantly measuring and comparing, if either happiness, empathy, compassion live in the space of time at all, and if not, are we able to cultivate such qualities in our lives. We will also talk about the essence of that which is beyond time.
What is a dialogue?
A dialogue, if done well, is a kind of neutral discussion that approaches a topic without the interference of judgment. Gab always sets up the dialogue in this way so we can properly question the topic, not with a sense to solve the problem or to determine an answer, but as a means to enjoy the journey. In order to understand any challenge, we can’t be running towards a solution. We must first understand together, questioning as one, the reason why that challenge exists. From that we uncover the insight needed to transform our relationships.
Can I ask for more than one dialogue topic?
Yes. Topics not listed may also be accepted. You can combine talks, split them over days, run them at your company retreats, etc. Once you fill-in the form, we can discuss over a call.
How about colleges, schools, non-profit organizations?
Yes, all of these dialogues are applicable to college life as well as work life. Gab would be glad to speak to academic audiences PRO-BONO.
