The path to more peace, balance, and joy in life is something we all seek in one way or another. We often live too little in the here and now and worry too much about what will be or could be. And this is exactly what prevents us from being happy, says Michael Kurth, known to many as rapper Curse. He too had to take a break from his life as a musician to reorient himself and figure out which things contribute to a good life and which should be sorted out. During this time, he not only rediscovered his love for rap but also the positive effects of meditation, mindfulness, digital detox, and body awareness. He has summarized the essence of his experiences in the OOOO+X method - compelling and clear, without incense sticks, mantras, or world music.
