Appreciative Joy with Noah Levine

January 27, 2025

 The core of this teaching is learning and having the experience of empathizing with the happiness of others. Actually experiencing a genuine feeling of “I’m happy with you. I'm happy for you”. In some ways, this is the opposite of jealousy and envy when somebody else is getting what you want and you feel like, “fuck them”.

How dare they get what I want. The enlightened response, which is, “I’m happy for you getting what I want, getting what you want”.
