I can't remember that one in detail (though do remember I enjoyed it), but I'm sure it wasn't as simple as 'this one tiny thing will result in pure bliss', so much like a low calorie cereal won't make you shed the pounds, but does help as 'part of a calorie controlled diet', if you are looking to achieve y, then x can only help  |
first, as mentioned, i like styn, this isn't a slight on him. but you are assuming it worked for him. i'm not so sure. and reality is personal, individual, no 2 people have the same reality.
and no, his method wasn't one tiny thing. it was one big thing, give a stranger a can of food (something of small value) and a hug, even if you don't mean it, and the guaranteed return was pure and real happiness.
i would imagine if this method worked universally at all, there would be books and such. the self-help section of the bookstore always needs new material.
so other than enjoying the lecture, did you try it? did it work for you?
