“I will never become a ballet dancer, an opera singer, or Elon Musk – and that’s perfectly fine,” says psychiatrist and psychotherapist Prof. Eugenijus Laurinaitis. He explains that freedom is often misunderstood today: many believe it means the ability to try everything, but in reality, it is the ability to accept yourself as you are and understand your limits. Only then can true inner peace be achieved.

In the podcast Beyond Economics and Back, Prof. Laurinaitis discusses how feelings of lack influence our lives, the role of economic circumstances, and how to learn to appreciate what we already have. The conversation is hosted by LFMI President Elena Leontjeva.
