WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT? - MindSlí Meaningful Conversations

A different job. More money. A relationship. A new adventure. A particular version of ourselves.
And then sometimes we get exactly what we wanted... and think, “Is that it?”
This evening, we’ll explore the strange psychology of wanting: how well we actually know what will make us happy, what happens when life doesn’t give us what we asked for, and whether not knowing what we want might sometimes be perfectly okay.

### Questions we’ll unwrap on the night:

Warm-up Question:

Have you ever really wanted something, got it — and thought, “Is that it?”

Main Questions:

1. How good are we at predicting whether the things we want will actually make us happy?
2. Have you ever been grateful, looking back, that you didn’t get something you desperately wanted?
3. Is not knowing what you want necessarily a problem?

This is a non-moderated discussion. We provide the questions and the space, then it’s up to you to unwrap the theme.
There’s a philosopher in all of us — usually hiding behind the day’s to-do list.
We’ll be meeting at The Oslo Pub (Galway Bay Brewery), Salthill, at the back.
