Join us on the Creative Evolution Lab as we explore this rich conversation between Krista Tippett and Alain de Botton in their conversation that explores the realities of love between complex individuals from the On Being podcast The True Hard Work of Love and Relationships (link below to the full interview).
• Many of us have learned to start relationships from a premise of false expectations setting us up for disappointment. Alain de Botton proposes we start with a more honest approach such as “Here is how I’m crazy, how are you crazy?”. We explore what this might look like and why we would do this - sounds pretty vulnerable!
• “Self- righteousness is the enemy of love”. It is the wiring of our human brains to make others wrong and separate ourselves when we are triggered. This leads to division and ‘othering’. What would be available if we practice bringing more compassion, understanding, and grace to ourselves and others?
• “Compatibility is the achievement of love, it shouldn’t be the pre-condition of love.” We explore what is available in going beyond our propensity to love only those with whom we agree and are like-minded to us.
