Just finished watching the video. I want to point out the following: 1) This video kicks ass, and is an excellent 2nd part. 2) I learned a lot from this video. 3) Regardless of however well this video performs, You are fucking killing it mate. The editing, animation, writing, and topic are on point. 4) You are helping in building a better society Will.

Definition of underated content. The kind of thing I would expect everyone to he taught at school. This having 15k views and people screaming at games getting millions shows why people are never able to actually attain flow, or do anything meaningful. Love your content, keep posting.

This has been the single most important video I’ve ever watched in my life. This explains why I have such high expectations and why my moods vary... I will rewatch this until I have it memorized this was SO useful thank you so much Will for making this video and taking your time to put it together in such an easily digestible and understandable way. Seriously I think this is gonna help me make the change I need to start being more happy and appreciative of my life

[@ffederel]

In fact, from a Buddhist viewpoint, we don't eliminate craving by cultivating just non-attachment. The main antidote to craving is the wisdom of dependent-arising. This is still simplistic, of course, and Later Buddhist schools don't see craving as the root of suffering. In later Buddhist schools, the antidote is a union of wisdom (of dependent arising) and compassion.

I'm generally impressed with the amount of commentary that basically vivifies my effusive praise on part 0. This really will become something necessary for the Entire KZbin community.

[@efesos97]

This doesn't just feel like a good youtube video, but a video everyone should watch. Great job!

[@alecdc9412]

Ever since your last video before this series, eight books that changed my life, I've often revisited this channel only to find no new uploads, which was a bit disappointing, because I thoroughly enjoyed your channel. This series however, has been well worth the wait. Your videos are already on a different level and standard than almost anything on youtube, and you've managed to not only accomplish the same feat again with your first two videos of the series, you've also managed to make them exceptionally good on your already exceptionally good channel! I'm extremely appreciative of these videos, the new perspectives they offer and the work you do, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@mr_seady]

"And the last one is Schoder. You need me in your life to be happy."

[@snifferfish]

Okay so I was taking notes while watching this video. And when you introduced Schoder as the S in SOARS, I paused the video and actually wrote it down..

That's the kind of serie I didn't know I want it. I love it so much. I've been wanting something like that for so long.

[@AcolytesOfHorror]

This vid dropping really tested my resolve to stay away from anything with an algorithm for a week. But I persevered and was rewarded with this excellent mastahPEECE. Autonomy preserved!

[@schodes]

thanks nathan!!

[@Malurth]

goddamn, this is legit some of the best video content ever produced, period. it's astounding. I'm tellin ya, spend some time messing with the titles + thumbnails of these underperforming vids. I feel like they're practically being sabotaged by their underwhelming pre-click presentation as it stands tbh. many of your vids deserve way more views than they've gotten.

[@belendrina]

Here I am, watching all the ads just so this can get its well deserved support. Amazing content, as always.

Thanks Belen! I know ads are a pain, but you've got the right attitude--it does help me.

I'm not even done watching this and my mind is uterly blown.

[@idontknowhoiam6758]

Wow . If the whole series was out , I'd have watched it all in one go . I can't imagine the amount of work you put in this. Why is this not on trending . Where are the people ?

[@schodes]

KZbin isn't really the right medium for this kind of content to be honest. I'm fighting against the river current, and I have no problem with it.

[@armaghanahmed9136]

Liked it even before watching the video. Now, time to kick back and watch the video.

[@schodes]

same!!

[@micheloshake31]

I'm not saying I completely understood or took to heart what you presented in these 2 videos but they somehow helped me a LOT. They presented me with knowledge and perspectives previously unknown to me and having clinical depression, never once the "professionals" that should've helped me to improve my condition ever came close to presenting such information. It's uncanny how both of these videos came talking about specific things I needed to hear in that exact moment. This comment may be lost in the sea of comments, but if you get to read this I want you to know you really helped me by showing me "roads" I couldn't see before and they really had a great impact on my overall mental health. So thank you, Sir, for researching and presenting this information in the best way possible. Thanks for helping me.

[@ValiumSadfemmeMcGirlBoss]

Your work is very similar to mine, and it still manages to touch quite deeply on things I'd never considered, and has thus left me a more thoughtful, kind and compassionate person. Thank you.

[@vincent_moalic]

Ryan's videos are great and all, but I don't think they ever impacted someone's life as much as yours. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Will.

[@schodes]

Hey Vincent, thank you. Preciate you. When you say Ryan's videos--do you mean Richard Ryan?

[@Jiroxys25]

This series is fascinating and very helpful for autistic folks like myself! It's really hard to figure out what people mean when they talk about happiness or autonomy or relatedness, so exploring these definitions and examples really helps ground some of these concepts

[@CluelessEngineer]

This video is soooo good. I find myself always coming back to watch the 3 part series. Going to probably be back here in a few months. Might even download it in case KZbin dies
