Trying Not to Try

Why is it hard to fall asleep the night before an important meeting? Or be relaxed on a first date? Find out why we find spontaneity so elusive, and how early Chinese thought points the way to a happier life, encouraging us to pursue our goals indirectly. Author and academic Edward Slingerland of the University of British Colombia blends Eastern thought and cutting-edge science to show us a fulfilling alternative to striving modern culture. Presented by Cannongate Books. Part of The Reading Experiment.
