073 Romanticize Your Life
Manage episode 354529205 series 2954967
We all have a tendency to romanticize the past--whether it was actually good or bad, beautiful or ugly--we remember it with rose-tinted glasses. Is romanticism then a healthy coping mechanism to make us happier in our lives?
On the other hand, our romantic ideas of things often don't match reality. So is it dangerous, or do we forfeit control over our lives when we romanticize?
In this episode we discuss whether its beneficial or detrimental to romanticize, why we do it, and more--focusing on the more commonly romanticized things: romance itself, the past, the future, humanity, our professions, and war.
