Comedian David Boyle is back with another thought-provoking episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. In this episode, titled '5 Years 76 Days - Don't React', Boyle dives deep into the importance of staying calm amidst chaos. Drawing from his own experiences with sobriety and the occasional hallucinogenic trip, he explores how reacting to negativity only fuels the fire. Boyle discusses the bizarre and controversial elements of recent events, like the Olympics' opening ceremony, and how they seem designed to provoke reactions.
He argues that the best way to deal with these 'demons' is to ignore them completely. Boyle shares his insights on how non-reaction can be a powerful tool, not just in the physical world but also in the spiritual realm. He even brings in wisdom from John Lennon, emphasising that non-violence and humour are the ultimate defences against provocation. To cope with the madness, Boyle suggests turning to timeless music for refuge, citing Johnny Cash as his personal North Star.
He encourages listeners to find their own anchors, whether through music, faith, or other means. Boyle's candid and often humorous approach makes this episode both engaging and enlightening. So, if you're looking for some unconventional advice on dealing with life's chaos, this episode is a must-listen.
