10. The Happy Trap and Calm Baselines.

In this episode I posit that Targeting Happiness in life … is a mistake.

We need to find our way to a Calm Baseline first … in order to get to happiness.

I propose that a more useful target is to Seek Calm.

This podcast is about getting you to a Calm Baseline.

And now you know why I selected Men Seeking Calm as the title of the podcast.

Seeking Happiness has many traps which are discussed.

Calm Baseline features include ...

• Peace of mind.


• A sense of balance.


• I feel that in my life there isn’t an overwhelming threat that I can’t handle.


• I have enough mutually supportive relationships that keeps my mind in good shape and


• I feel that I am living a life of purpose.

Change and deep learning happens from Experiential Learning by interacting with me or a group of other like-minded men which is the motivation to have a membership.

I hope to see you in the membership.

You can convert this podcast as a passive listening experience, to a guy-talking-to-another-guy about men’s business.
