“If you’re feeling like life doesn’t have enough purpose, answer the following two questions: 1. Why am I alive? 2. And for what would I be willing to die? If you don’t have an answer to one your going to have an existential crisis. And you need to go in search with your life of an answer to those two questions.”
Thank you so much for this. It is so simple yet so hard. C’est la vie~

This developing the skill of meta-cognition, that’s the core of Buddhist practice for me. He basically just described my understanding of Buddhism in secular, scientific language. 10/10 can recommend meta-cognition, don’t be a passive passenger on an emotional traintrack, decide to make better choices than simply responding to your emotions or preferences. Happiness is an attitude you bring to your experience, not what you extract out of it.

10:52 “Mindfulness is hard because we’re time travelers.” Been dealing with temporal angst for sometime. It just fascinates me that I can be on my way to a place or event and be kind of annoyed that I’m not already there. Most recently, I’ve been dealing with it by imagining that I am both on my way and already there at the same time. After all, time is just another dimension.

I’ve found it incredibly helpful over the last year or two to stop worrying so much about all the time I’m “wasting”. If I spend too much of my mental energy focused on how to make the most out of every second I live, I just get frustrated at life. Instead, if I try to enjoy the little things (even just a quick drive somewhere, the peace and quiet of that experience), I’m not constantly frustrated.

The part about “the demonimator” is something I’ve done my entire life and didn’t quite realize it. I’ve always said the main reason I’m pretty much always happy is because I really don’t want anything. I’m low maintenance, my few hobbies aren’t too expensive, and I don’t want a mansion one day.

This man seems very nice and well meaning, but please don’t take everything he says as gospel! He’s using very ‘pop-psychology’ concepts that are not fully accurate, purposefully missing out complicated concepts and caveats within the theories he’s discussing. We simply do not know enough about the brain yet to be able to say the things he’s saying with so much certainty. Do your own research and remember just how new psychology is as a scientific discipline! <3

you know this is a watch uy because he immediately jumps to “watch” as an example of pointless dopamine hit. As a true WIS, he knows there is no such thing as an exit watch. Also, the Tag on his wrist gives him away, of course.

I just fact checked the professor with Bing AI. Some of his claims are inaccurate according to Bing AI, such as the over simplistic devision between brain hemispheres or that sleep and diet merely prevent unhappiness but don’t contribute to happiness. That’s incorrect.

First time hearing about Arthur Brooks, and wow he is a fascinating, highly conscientious individual. This video alone holds so much truth that he was able to articulate well, there were a lot of hidden life patterns here that many take for granted at an intuitive level, and here he was able to intentionally bring them to the surface for us. This was a great demonstration of how self-realized he is in this process of the moment to create meaningful change in this experience we call life. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 🙂

5:55 I disagree with his statement, that everyone needs to figure out their purpose in life. I am alive already, so I’m living to the best of my ability. And don’t waste my time and energy to figure out some big purpose, a search that one might never find an answer to and be left feeling empty

March 17, 2023 at 5:53 am
Why western people pretend to “know” what happiness iс ?! Because we use these type of videos to explain and rationalize what it means to be happy and how to get there, instead of just BE happy… all the people praising this video should turn to Buddhism and practice some simple gratitude : ) … we are making everything overcomplicated, thats why simple life = happy life, less is more : ))

06:15 Funnily enough I can answer both these questions without even needing to think and it doesn’t come a step closer to ‘purpose’. Answer 1 is the same for everybody – sperm met egg, developed into fetus, got born. That’s why I’m alive; cause and effect. Why am I still? Too cowardly for the other option. As for Answer 2, literally anything. Or nothing. So his challenge doesn’t really help.

I wonder what he thinks about online friendships. Does he think they’re nowhere close to being legitimate relationships because they’re not in-person?

Happiness… happiness… kind of rings a bell, but can’t tell you what it is.
And I’d prefer to be like Chucho. I see a cookie I eat the cookie. But no, instead, I see the cookie, I want the cookie, but I’m like “no, I can’t, I’m fat enough, I’ll hate myself for that” and then I still want the cookie and I hate myself for wanting the cookie but it’s all I want because it’s a cookie, and I end up eating the cookie and hating myself and buying 20 more cookies to feel better. If that’s a perks of being a human, it’s a terrible perk. I’d rather be a dog.

Because I’ve been reading about this topic a lot lately, nothing I heard here was new, but he really made it feel like I was receiving this information for the first time! I’d love to sit in on one of his lectures or classes.

I think one of the silver linings of having mental illness during adolescence is that, if you get the right treatment and make it through, you gain an amount of wisdom and mental resilience that takes most people decades and decades to acquire through normal experience. I have friends I met in treatment who are 10-20 years older than me, in completely different life stages, but I’m more mentally comparable to them than I am people my age (in their early-mid 20s)
