On Saturday 16th March 2019, New Acropolis (Pune Branch) hosted a talk titled ‘Human Being or Human Doing’. The talk explored the challenge of constant busyness as perhaps detrimental to our true development as human beings. Using examples from traditional philosophies, the speaker suggested the need to re-orient our approach towards developing our intrinsic human abilities so as to identify less with what we do, and more with who we are, as a means to empower ourselves and live more meaningful lives.
