SUMMARY
In this 1993 Gold Coast talk, Barry Long explores the art of living without unhappiness — a journey toward what he calls 'giving life what life wants.' Moving into the practical Barry speaks on everyday issues — relationships, children, sex, self-judgment, and the noise of modern life — with piercing clarity and humor. From the idea that 'where there's not enough love, we turn to sex,' to the vision of stillness as the gateway to real being, this talk moves through layers of spiritual insight and human psychology to reveal one constant truth: the way to freedom is through presence, honesty, and the end of wanting.
