That last comment about what death can teach us about life ! Wow! Total shift of perspective!!

[@johngardner1898]

As a heterosexual, white male,....I think this is gold, because it seems to me Glennon is speaking the hard earned, universal truth. Her life history has given her the ability to intuit and communicate these topics that would otherwise lay beyond my limited awareness. This is a great conversation.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thank you for sharing, we appreciate your input and support!

[@user-bd4bo4tb8u]

Yes, fantastic! I’m female and had severe anorexia as a teen and learned so much!

[@julieterrell7921]

Wow.... did i just learn something incredible. My clothes in my closet are literally outfits of restriction that have-not evolved with my growth. Size isnt the thing, its comfort. Those weren't comfortable when i wore them.the 1st time. They bound me. Literally cut me in my stomach. They made me feel so bad about me. I have not touched most of them in a year or more. Oh im bout to DONATE! Im not allowing them to live here rent free anymore!!!!❤

[@TenPercentHappier]

Yahoo! Thanks for sharing! Our stories help each other.

[@user-bd4bo4tb8u]

Love that!

[@sumernoel1553]

Constant seeking “is like scrolling.” Love that

[@TenPercentHappier]

Same!

[@markfuller]

I liked it too. It reminded me of Mooji who often says "don't login" to whatever the thought or emotion is. In his satsang videos he'll guide someone to individuate from the compulsive identity-self (the doer, the thinker, even the observer of the doer and thinker). He'll guide someone into stepping further back and realizing "that's not you. You exist without doing, thinking, explaining, observing." He often says "don't login" when you realize a thought or feeling entered your mind. (The "it's like scrolling" reminded me of that. We login and then start scrolling with it like it's going to get better, more believable, more definitive.).

[@susannapretzel3180]

Letting go of ego is the greatest liberation of all. Being content without attention. Huge.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Love this thought!

[@rosedelone2405]

I am working on that! Hard to do sometimes.

[@RachelS.-mm5kt]

Oh my goodness, "I'm not broken I'm just pretending to be broken" tore me up. This is something I've wondered about occasionally in my life. Am I broken or is it the part I've played since childhood. Glennon is truly a gift in my life.

[@sumernoel1553]

Drinking, eating, scrolling ’is me leaving.’ The host didn’t seem to quite get that but I did. It’s about disassociating behavior….leaving physically or mentally. Embodiment is hard if you’re coping behavior is disassociation.

[@TenPercentHappier]

We appreciate your insight!

[@sumernoel1553]

@@TenPercentHappier Also, I didn’t mean to imply that the host wasn’t doing a good job. Rather, just adding it’s one of those things people who don’t experience it wouldn’t recognize. Like so many other things like narcissism, addiction, having a child, anything really…IYKYK.

[@CateCrockettWitt]

I JUST did this moments before hearing this. A friend posted a pic of them having breakfast on a boat in a marina, and I thought, "remember when people used to fully enjoy moments rather than post them". I do think it takes a least a tiny bit out of the pure moment enjoyment.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thanks for your insight!

[@melaniemulhall2277]

Brilliant pdcast in so many ways. It's beautiful to watch Glennon unfolding.

[@TenPercentHappier]

We agree, and thank you for the compliment. She is a gem.

[@lisamimi-jd9wn]

living AUTHENTICALLY is the goal

[@TenPercentHappier]

Yes!

[@jahizer]

I am 20% happier after listening to this episode.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Love this! Thanks for watching.

[@kittenmixer812]

Wow, just enjoying the moment for yourself and yourself only and the mere fact that you get to have that beautiful moment. You don’t need to tell any one later or take a photo. It’s very profound.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Yes!

[@lilli6308]

Love love love you two. So glad you finally did an episode together. You’ve both changed my life for the better.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Wow, what a compliment! We were honored to get Glennon's time. Thank you for the support.

[@Happy2bwoman906]

Exactly, it almost works…. I hear you , nearing comfort being nearly invisible. 💛

[@TenPercentHappier]

Exactly!

[@teachingasfastasican5785]

A human being versus and human doing, right here...Love this interview so very much!

[@TenPercentHappier]

We're so glad!

[@trisharasky7388]

Great way to put it!

[@TenPercentHappier]

Yes!

[@sarahthomson8183]

Absolutely brilliant insights into being embodied and how posting on social media disrupts being embodied and being in the present in your experience.

[@judeskingsbury5549]

What a fabulous interview, I enjoyed every minute. Thank you!❤

[@TenPercentHappier]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ieinteractive]

Ditto what she said! I'm also at least 20% happier! Great interview. Thank you.

[@TenPercentHappier]

So glad! Thanks for watching!

[@kittenmixer812]

Wow so much wisdom and insight. Absolutely loved this in every way. Thank you.

[@TenPercentHappier]

So glad!

Im SO EXCITED to listen to one of my FAVORITE Authors, and my fav Comedian's Psychiatrist in one interview! Lets goooo!!!

[@TenPercentHappier]

Same! Hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation!

[@maryblair7931]

Absolutely can't keep vilifying others . That will make you more than 10% happier!

[@TenPercentHappier]

Yes!

[@NoraW222]

Wow, this was full of brilliance. Just what I needed in this time in my life. Thanks you

[@TenPercentHappier]

We're so grateful that it's helped. Thank you for the support.

[@moonbeanification]

So much wisdom here ... thank you both ♥♥♥

Thank you for sharing.

[@kristinajohnson3165]

Love this! ❤

[@MS-bs8dd]

Thanks for this interview with Glennon (thank G I was scrolling 😂). Thanks too for mentioning your app. Liked feeling validated for the ‘distancing thing’ I’ve been noticing a lot in myself lately.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mjw2013xx]

This is an amazing interview. Sounds like "relevance" is an addiction to external validation and trading authentic connection to self for social media is a form of self abandonment.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Interesting thought! Thanks for listening!

[@kgbrav]

As you said, listening to how social media makes you feel is what's important. I am very specific about what I consume because of how some of it makes me feel. Some platforms make me feel worse than others, but I have a far less personal and intentional relationship with it now. Soooo... long story short, strong point for me...I never post. lol

[@TenPercentHappier]

We SO appreciate you sharing! Our stories help others and you have valuable insight.

[@sheristmarie-brokeredbyexp3751]

This what can happen to all of us if we are living for social media and external life over living the one precious life and gift to purely give to others and ourselves.

[@TenPercentHappier]

We agree!

[@Bear53533]

The constant hustle is a flag for me that I’m in control and “lack” thinking, if that makes sense. It’s a place of quiet desperation.

[@TenPercentHappier]

We are all fighting the hustle. Thank you for sharing!

[@michelelefebvre2152]

❤❤❤

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thanks for watching!

[@AlysonArchibequeDavis-kv1bx]

Wow Glennon and I have been on a similar path this past year. I left teaching last June to start writing, but I’ve learned to sit in my body like never before.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thank you for sharing!

[@julieterrell7921]

Back in the day, when Facebook 1st began, I'd take pics and videos during the event, i.e. bday party, then later look through those pics while enjoying the experience AGAIN, ruminating on the good time. I'd share those with Family and friends online. Still in my body, cause I'm enjoying processing the event, like later that night. Saying all that to say- the highlight wasn't the pics or videos, I know that- its just these pics are like little souvenirs I get to share with the ones i love. I've not ever made money off a post, so probably I'm not yet jaded. Money tends to confuse the intention. But it doesn't have to...you just have ALOT MORE loved ones and community.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Powerful story, thank you for sharing.

[@markfuller]

@14:22 (physics, the multiverse, observation changes what's there) is an interesting topic. I've thought about how being present, mindful, not _engaging with_ (identifying with) thoughts, feelings, the past, the future stops the constant proliferation of multiverse expansion. It's the one thing we can do (by choosing to not do) that brings calm to the universe (less consumption of the multiverse). Its the one time when there are no quantum events occurring. No choices being made (no pursuit of "next, and next, and next..." which invokes the "everything that can happen does happen. There's a copy of you that exists in another universe where you chose all the different nexts." When we're mindful, choosing "not now, not now, I don't need to think about that now" then we're exercising our only control over the universe (bringing calmer conditions, not forking incredible numbers of ourselves into alternate universes). There will be another universe where we chose not to be mindful (and cluttering up the multiverse there with our clinging/craving mind). But, not this one. That's huge power when you think about it. It sounds futile (if there's going to be a universe where I'm madly confabulating my experience to myself). But, it's also not. It's the one control we have: "Not in this one." If our lifetime of forks of self (into infinite copies in infinite universes) were viewed like the chart of evolution (400 million years), then being mindful/present would stand out has not having a long branch of ancestry. It stand out like on the evolutionary chart: "what happened here? It didn't seem to go anywhere."

[@lisamimi-jd9wn]

join cults. appreciate the honesty. so many can’t see… refreshing

[@TenPercentHappier]

It is! Thanks for watching!

[@markfuller]

@5:59 (about dogs; the people who connect with them). I'm one of those people, and it's a very conflicted way of being. I feel like I don't humanize dogs (its everyone else). I actually don't connect with dog owners very well. If you go to do parks, or help with an animal shelter, or gravitate to dog forums/groups, there's _a lot_ of ego involved with these people "being dog people." A lot of identity wrapped up in it. It's more about signalling being that person than being that person. I think before I woke up to myself, I was much more that way. I think damaged people, people with a lack of self, identity issues, gravitate to dogs. You see it at dog parks and shelters. They're there for the "feels" not for the dog so much (they don't see it. Their feelings are the dog's feelings.). I think I was/am (can be) that way too. But, knowing myself the way I do now, it's rewarding to be with dogs and share consciousness, not all wrought up about dogs, dressing them up in costumes, baby talking to them like little children, etc. There's something more authentic that comes by being there appreciating them as a being (not a human being). A cross-species connection that's more balanced that making them "little furry people." I find dog parks very triggering. I go to curate my dog's experience, socializing with other dogs. Not to get involved in the human socializing that feels toxic usually. There's cliques of people doing the "we're dog people" stuff. There's others who come and stare at their phone, not caring what's going on (the park ends up looking like a gigantic litter box). There's a few who come for their dog, and try to navigate the environment. It's hard to make it work when people celebrate the wrong dog behaviors (because they want to "feel the feels"). Or, the ones who aren't really there (glued to their phones). I feel like I'm there for the dog I've brought, nothing else. But, I can be sensationally triggered which suggests I'm not that different (I have my own identity-investment going on).

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thanks for sharing your story.

Worth a tattoo! ;)

[@sumernoel1553]

“I don’t understand music”…..Again, if you’re not attuned to sound, it’s difficult to truly’get it.’ Music is a language. Music is an Entity. That some of us relate to but others do not. And that’s ok.

[@TenPercentHappier]

We agree!

[@gwendolynburns1456]

howcome you guys haven't posted the fat activist one

[@TenPercentHappier]

We always welcome more in-depth feedback at [e-mail]!

[@micmacc2014]

I’d wager her son is upset with her. It’s quite simple.

[@smarydemner6697]

oh please...I was a Glennon fan until she became an obvious sell out.

[@Jess-kn8vl]

She clearly has severe mental health problems and its scary she has a platform. I saw her instagram awhile back and she was grumpy and negative in some of those posts so it seems she isint happy living with a woman either. She is not inspirational. We all have a story we learn from, big deal.

[@mskitco]

Love her and really enjoying your program. Great point about “monetizing moments” and “everything is content” which reminds me of Nora Ephron saying “everything is copy”. Yes. Everyone needs to relax and be present and not take interrupt a beautiful meal by taking pictures of your dinner. Thanks for these. It’s time well spent on content. 🙏🩷

[@TenPercentHappier]

We love her too. Thanks so much for your input and support!

[@AlysonArchibequeDavis-kv1bx]

A terrifying relief. 🫨😮‍💨 Nailed it.

[@TenPercentHappier]

She has some powerful words!
