Have you ever thought that changing your job or home or something else in your life might be the solution to finding happiness? According to psychology, that might not be the case. More often than not, changes only bring temporary happiness because the root issue is our perceptions or how we see and interact with the world. In order to find real peace, then, we need to work on our perceptions. In today’s episode (PART 2 of 4 in the Power of Perception Series), my friend Sock Kuan Lee from Tembusu Training and Therapy Institute will be explaining - WHERE perceptions come from - What EXPLANATORY STYES are - HOW different Explanatory Styles can be more helpful than others --------------------- Loving this podcast?
