Mariel Hemingway "Mariel's Kitchen" and Why Interventions Don't Work

Hello everyone,
Here is this week’s show

I. Talking with Mariel Hemingway about her new book Mariel’s Kitchen.
Finding the Sacred in Food.

-the power of the ancient ritual of “breaking bread” with another person
-eating –not to survive, but to thrive
-the importance of being conscious of what we eat and how we eat it
-the aesthetics of a beautifully set table and what it does to your soul
-being aware of how you feel while cooking the meal for your family:
DO NOT cook while angry, resentful or scared. These emotions will permeate
the food you cook.
Instead - cook when joyful and filled with gratitude
-the importance of bringing back into your life a simple tradition of
inviting friends to your home and treating them to a home-cooked meal

II. Why Interventions Don’t Work.

-people change when THEY want to change, not when they are told to change
-interfering with the person’s path and free will while
being sure you know “what’s best” is both pointless and wrong .
Pointless, because it doesn’t work, it can’t work and it never will work.
And wrong, because it is a one-up, “better than” position, no matter how “good” your intentions
may appear.
One thing to remember: what looks obvious – usually is not.
If this makes you raise your eye brows – listen to the rest of the show:).
