Life² shows people how to live well in the credit crunch
A new organisation is helping people tolive happier and more fulfilling lives, despite the challenges of the creditcrunch.
Life² (www.lifesquared.org.uk) is offeringcourses, guides, public talks and advice aimed at helping people to ‘live well’ – to live happy, wise lives inthe modern world. It is currentlyrecruiting for new participants to join its ‘just think… ‘ scheme – an innovative8-week group course that people run themselves without a tutor in their ownhomes. It aims to help people to standback from their lives and find ways of making them better – including living inline with their values and living the lives they want.
One participant on a recent ‘just think…’
course commented ‘the course has been really useful in reflecting and focussing
on my life and making practical plans to work towards a future I hope to
realise. It has been great to meet and
discuss these with the group who have been very supportive and encouraging’.
Life² Director, Richard Docwra, noted that ‘in
modern society, we’ve become obsessed with the idea that the only way to be
happy is to earn more money, get more status or acquire new things. Our courses and guides show that this is not
only untrue, but also that constantly striving for this material success can
actually cause us problems in health, stress and happiness. Our courses and guides help people to help
people to stand back from their lives, understand the world better and work out
how they really want to live. On
reflection, many people find that the most important things in life often don’t
involve money – such as good relationships, having more time and having a sense
of purpose. This is a particularly
important message during the credit crunch, when people have less money and
career stability and are looking for ways of making life better’.
