Phil Cousineau lecturing on Sisyphus

Phil Cousineau lecturing on Sisyphus

Last night’s Friends of Jung Friday lecture featuring Phil Cousineau was inspiring, electrifying, and insightful. The title of the topic was “The Secret Life and Death of Sisyphus.”  As Cousineau pointed out,  Albert Camus ends his essay on Sisyphus with “The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must consider Sisyphus happy.”

Or as Cousineau pointed out in his lecture, we push to the top of the mountain, achieve success for a brief moment, and then we go back to the bottom and start all over again.
