Dr. Srikumar Rao, TEDx speaker and creator of the pioneering course, Creativity and Personal Mastery, joins our hosts, Henry and Maureen, and shares how our internal mental chatter shapes our reality and can cause unnecessary suffering.

Drawing on the Buddha’s "parable of the second arrow" and other stories, Dr. Rao offers practical advice on observing thoughts, reframing challenges, and cultivating happiness in life and at the workplace.

You'll hear personal anecdotes, Srikumar's reflections on joy, and tips for feeding positivity in ourselves and others.

Srikumar's tips for a happy workplace:

  • Observe your mental chatter
  • Stop experiencing the tragedies that have never happened
  • What can I do to help this person have a better experience of life
