5 min self compassion break by Tamsin Bishton

Paul Macauley is a self-described 'maker of things'. He writes books and plays and has been known to turn his hand to the odd short film. This conversation was recorded in March 2018. I spoke to him about how the idea of 'enough' can be a motivator and a reward in the creative process and what else came to mind when he considered the question 'what is enough?' It's the second in a series of unknown size. I hope you enjoy it.

A conversation between Robert Marx and Tamsin Bishton reflecting on the question 'what is enough?' Robert is a psychologist and leads training and governance at the Sussex Mindfulness Centre (part of Sussex Partnership Foundation NHS Trust). We talk about Robert's personal experience of Buddhism (where the practices and underpinning psychological theory of mbct come from), the positive and the less positive places and appreciation of ‘enough’ might lead us to, and his personal experiences of where understanding the answer to ‘what is enough?’ can be helpful.
