COT:
Near the end of reading book, Comfort Crisis. Highly recommend if you haven’t read it yet.
Caught my attention reading about Bhutan, a country that’s 2nd in the world as happiest behind Disney. Why? In their culture they value Mindfulness over Checklist Accomplishments. Rather than material items, social status they value full body mindfulness. They further explained, if we’re hiking and there’s a cliff 500 yards away, that’s death. Rather than race towards death, they take their time, take the scenic route, enjoy life’s views, speak to people that are important to them. They would rather prepare for death so it doesn’t surprise them or die with any regrets.
