Rediscovering the Wonder of Life and Six Steps to Happiness: An Interview with Daniel Lumera
In his new book, Italian biologist and author Daniel Lumera recounts his own journey of death and rebirth, offering practical advice that can easily be incorporated into our daily lives. He provides a path to overcome difficult moments of crisis and live life with more serenity and lightness.
Lumera believes that we have become disconnected from the innate sense of wonder and joy that comes with experiencing life. He offers six steps to help us rediscover this sense of wonder and live more fulfilling lives:
1. Embrace Your True Nature
We are all born with a unique set of gifts and talents. Lumera encourages us to embrace our true nature and follow our passions. When we do this, we will find more joy and fulfillment in life.
2. Be Honest with Yourself
It is important to be honest with ourselves about our feelings and desires. When we are honest with ourselves, we can make better choices and live more authentic lives.
3. Address Unresolved Issues
Lumera believes that unresolved issues can hold us back from living our best lives. He encourages us to address these issues head-on and find ways to resolve them.
4. Give Without Expecting Anything in Return
One of the best ways to find happiness is to give to others. When we give without expecting anything in return, we open ourselves up to receiving more love and joy in our lives.
5. Practice Conscious Madness
Lumera encourages us to practice “conscious madness” every day. This means doing something that surprises us and takes us out of our comfort zone. When we do this, we reawaken our capacity for wonder and joy.
6. Embrace Emptiness
Our true nature is emptiness, but we often try to fill our lives with things and possessions. Lumera encourages us to embrace emptiness and find peace in the present moment.
By following these six steps, we can rediscover the wonder of life and live more fulfilling lives.
