		<description><![CDATA[In this talk, Bruce Di Marsico discusses the cause of unhappiness. You are unhappy because of one belief only: the belief that you are not naturally going to be happier.

		<description><![CDATA[First, Bruce Di Marsico discusses being kind to yourself. The Option Method never implies that you shouldn&#8217;t be unhappy. A very common misapplication of the Option Method is to use it to berate yourself, asking yourself “Why the hell am I unhappy?” A variant of this is to, through misapplication of the Option Method, find [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this talk, Bruce Di Marsico discusses caring and freedom. Unhappiness is the belief that you’re not free. In particular, that if you were happy now, you would be unhappy in the future. This is often a result of mistaking not wanting the consequences of an action for not being free to do the action.
