If you’re anything like me, pleasure comes later. After the work is done. Once everything’s sorted. When you’ve been productive, useful or good enough to deserve it.
In this episode, I explore this complicated relationship with pleasure - and the rather perfectionist habit of turning even fun, play and enjoyment into another project to understand, optimise and get right.
What happens if we stopped needing everything we do to be useful? If we could climb, dance, eat, walk, listen or play without having to improve ourselves, or master a skill in the process?
Along the way, I explore solo, one-to-one and group pleasure; the qualities of serenity, brilliance and aliveness; and a tiny question that’s been helping me find more enjoyment in ordinary life:
What would make this 1% more enjoyable?
An invitation to take yourself - and perhaps life itself - a little less seriously.
