Why Avoidance Doesn't Work

For those who are trying to create a meaningful life by avoiding problems, certain emotions, certain people, etc., psychologist, Dr. Bill Crawford offers a quote and some comments on why this may not be working. He then goes on to offer an alternative strategy that goes way beyond "positive thinking" and actually shows listeners how to shift to the most intelligent, creative, part of the brain. In other words, how to access our clarity and confidence, and create the life we want versus trying to find happiness by avoiding the aspects of life we don't want.
