For years, Peter Gordijn tried to seek happiness outside himself. Dream job, carbio, tough hobbies, girlfriends... He thought his circumstances determined how he felt. That turned out not to be true. Then what is the key to our happiness?

When former Apache pilot Peter Gordijn was on a mission in Afghanistan, their camp was regularly fired at with rockets. Some soldiers did not dare to leave the bunkers, while others found it annoying that they had to stop to enter the bunker. Exactly the same circumstances, with a completely different life experience. This is no exception. Seeing rain makes one sad, while a farmer might just be happy. It really applies to everything. Dismissal experiences one as something terrible, while for the other it can be a relief
X + A = :-(
X + B = :-)
Circumstances (X) do not determine how we feel. It is about the meaning we give to those circumstances, and that is determined by our life perspective (A or B)
This insight is not new. It is the essence of the ancient spiritual wisdom of Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism

The first hour Peter Gordijn takes you into this radically different vision of life in his characteristic no-nonsense language and teaches you how to apply it in your daily life. The second hour is interactive and will spontaneously address the themes living in the audience. All questions will be answered from this different perspective of life, shining new light on the problems. This is often experienced as the most valuable part

The result of the lecture is that you no longer have to be a victim of your circumstances and know that you always have the freedom to change your vision of life and with that your happiness in life
