How to Feel That You've Done Enough - and Are Enough with Rick Hanson

Many of us spend our lives quietly believing we need to do more, achieve more, or become more before we can finally feel at peace. What if the peace you've been searching for doesn't come from becoming more—but from recognizing that, in important ways, you're already enough? In this talk, I explore how the mind gets caught in endless striving and comparison, and how we can gently train ourselves to rest in gladness, contentment, and the deep sense that we've done enough, are enough, and that this moment can be enough too.
