Episode 67: Purpose vs Pleasure

This week on The Living Experiment, we're talking about Purpose vs. Pleasure — the apparent tensions that exist between our pursuit of those aims, and the ways they can live in harmony. We offer philosophical and biological insights on the roles that both purpose and pleasure have in guiding human experience. We share how we've come to discern the difference between cravings and longings while honoring the real value of both. Finally, we offer you some experiments to help you find the proper place for purpose and pleasure in your own life. P.S. We also happily announce our new sponsorship by Experience Life magazine, and the special, discounted subscription offer and free e-newsletters now available to The Living Experiment listeners.   Get full show notes and resources at http://livingexperiment.com/purpose-vs-pleasure/
