Powerful Insights From Arthur Brooks:
“The best thing that you can possibly do is to think about the emotions that you're feeling, what they mean and how best to use them.”
“All the things we really want in life. All of our deep desires are complex. All of our solutions are complicated, and we're throwing complicated solutions at complex problems and we're not getting happier.”
“The first one is that there is meaning. You need to find it and live up to it.”
“The essence of consciousness is one that gives you incredible transcendental information, but at the same time, it programs in a whole lot of misery.”
“People who have the earliest success, the mind blowing success, they're the most likely to be unsatisfied with their lives at the end of their lives.”
“The ultimate entrepreneurial experience is to give away your heart and to take a chance, [...] Fall in love. That's entrepreneurship.”
“Humans are not intended to decline. Decline is hugely painful because happiness comes from progress. Unhappiness comes from regress.”
“The falling tide of your life looks like you're losing everything, get your line in the water, because that's the most fertile period of your life.”
“Happiness and unhappiness are not opposites. They're not. They're different experiences.”
“If you're denied the flow state that uniquely comes to you through creativity, you're gonna you're gonna be practically suicidal.”
“Love is the opposite of fear, love will actually neutralize inappropriate fear or excessive fear.”
“You can be in permanent disagreement, but in love equilibrium, we just have to be people that can do that.”
“You got to figure out which one you are and you must surround yourself with what you're not”

I’ve recently discovered how to be humble and boy I feel super free. I genuinely don’t have any desire to compete with the ego of others. I no longer feed off the wish to please other people. Wow, I am in bliss. This conversation so resonates with me,thanks 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️

[@allielovescats113]

The Creative thing resonates with me. I am autistic. Not sure if that has context but when I was young I started playing music at 8 yo. It was this freeing outlet where my mind stop racing . Only problem is I am miserable when not bringing creative. I wish I could make a living at it .

[@erindabney2758]

During the pandemic, I was forced to be alone - like isolated, disconnected alone. I tried to learn to enjoy it but it didn’t work. Once I was able to be social again, I was able to create and plan and do. What did I gain from that experience? I no longer care about illness or death. I no longer pursue wealth. I realized there’s no reason for me to create a home. Death is the release. Death is when freedom comes. Now, I’m learning not to care about love and instead focus on being kind and detached. I want love amongst friends, family, with a partner, but I’ll get to a point where I don’t or die trying.

The world need more people willing to do hard things that suck and less “creatives”

[@candyrox3537]

Laying floor can be creative. The context in which the actions are taken is what makes the difference. example: I can be angry washing dishes or I can be happy washing the dishes. Same actions - two different ways of being Being creative laying flooring Being judgmental laying flooring. Being precise laying flooring Being haphazard laying flooring The context is decisive.

You’re saying this as if it’s a choice Bro. Every mind is oriented toward particular aspects where it excels because we are reinforced with what we are good at, and by what comes naturally to us. Yes, touching grass and doing physical projects are important to include in your life, but not paramount to intellectual exercise and expression.

Really resonated with the spread and share love to fight fear and hate. I have a problem with hating on people who don’t see and try to fix their own inadequacies… esp when they cause further problems for others around them or who victimize themselves and never taking accountability. Great conversation. I really hope people embrace communication and meaningful discussion instead causing further tension and animosity towards each other. One thing that I find really important is self reflection. Tom, I really agree with how self critical you are… how you question yourself and honest with yourself and making sure if you are wrong, you accept it. This was the most important to my growth and success.

[@ml9372]

Fantastic conversation! Thank you both

[@binauralfortune]

so the answer is: 1) love your family (even when they're annoying) 2) have real friends (not just business buddies) 3) keep improving your philosophy for life (aka, your religion) 4) love what you do for work (it must help others) ...and if you don't have any of these, that's why you feel unfulfilled and empty and nihilistic, because you got lazy to put in the effort to maintain them. Even if it sucks to make progress in all these, it's better to keep at it than to give up and die a nihilistic loner.

Arthur Brooks really hits home with the differentiation between pain and suffering. Entrepreneurs often confuse the two, but understanding that pain can be a growth catalyst while suffering is often self-imposed can transform the way we approach challenges in business. It's all about leveraging discomfort to fuel progress rather than letting it spiral into something that holds us back.

Reminds me of a quote from the book Going Nuclear: "Advertisers have known for a long time that no audience is easier to gull (deceive) than one that is smugly confident of its own sophistication." Feels similar to religious or even current political rhetoric, ideally and more successfully incepted when effective music for emotional priming is used.

Love this channel. Always stimulating. Does Tom have a recommended book list somewhere?

[@Justineyedia]

(1) the id, operating on the pleasure principle generally within the unconscious; (2) the ego, operating on the reality principle within the conscious realm; and (3) the superego, operating on the morality principle at all levels of consciousness. The interplay of these personality structures generates anxiety that must be reduced through various defense mechanisms. These mechanisms act to obscure the true, anxiety-laden reasons for one’s behavior. Happiness is not required for survival.

[@henli-rw5dw]

That always seems weird to me. You can be happy and anxious at the same time. You can be on a date with somebody you really like, feel really anxious and really happy at the same time. The two emotions are not mutually exclusive. If you are miserable you will probably engage in destructive behavior. I can be anxious because I want to get stuff done, but I am happy at the same time because I am utilizing my potential and providing happiness for those who I care about. It's that simple.

The only thing about succumbing to everything your other person wants and thinks is that a lot of times it’s not genuine it’s just to please the other person and that’s not being authentic. Maybe letting the other person grow and you don’t have to agree with them, but allowing them. I was in a relationship where the other person did these things you’re talking about but they agreed with everything I said wanted to do everything I did because they loved me, but that only held up for so long until they couldn’t hold that anymore.

[@joshuasmiley2833]

I love this podcast, and I respect Tom’s intellect very very much! That being said, I keep on hearing him say money, will not make a difference in your happiness or self-esteem🤔 this is completely wrong and I know from my own experience of having money and of having lost that security. Yes, it’s true. Money is not the only thing you need to live in Harmaney and find happiness. Self discovery creativity. These things are important. Yes It sucks when people treat you different when you have money but the alternative to the hardships of poverty is in no way comparable . I think it’s very frustrating for people who have to struggle harder than others to accomplish success when they hear someone say these things. This is why I had to make this comment. Other than that I have learned so much from this podcast and have so much appreciation for all Tom’s guests, and Tom in particularly is a genuine, beautiful spirit.

[@grimmgirl]

Tom is into porn and the look on his wife’s face when they discussed it was hard to watch even though she claimed it “didn’t bother” her. That selfish behavior is entitled, childish and downright creepy. Today’s porn is very angry, demeaning and borderline violent. Thankfully many men are agreeing and voicing how damaging porn is to a relationship (Gabor Mate, etc.). It’s shocking that Tom doesn’t get this.

I have had both types of intelligence already (curve). I am now using my insight, to compensate for the knowledge I never acquired due to a traumatic youth. It seems my second curve (crystalizing intelligence) started around the age of 23-24... It is very hard to acquire new information, and the speed has become very slow. Although it has always been slow due to my autism, it seems to slow down for the second time in my life, and I am only entering my 30th year in this life next year. Ir seems the development of my brain is completely different, as is my understanding of other people when interacting. It is as if I am young and very old at the same time for some reason I don;t understand. Does anyone have such experience? For some reason I learn through insight since I entered my teenage years, as I have no way of understanding things without full insight. As if my brain is waiting for the full picture before it processes it. Does anyone have this?

I often hear people say “love is the opposite of fear” and scratch my head. If you look up the antonyms for fear you’ll see countless options - none of which is love. A Course in Miracles teaches love is the opposite of fear as do other spiritual practices,but this makes no sense to me.

[@johns.4290]

3-23-24 / 3:59 / Friday Love as an example is like a mother protecting her children from danger and will sacrifice herself if needed. Fear is overtaken by love as a focus point. See past the feeling of fear outside of your mind and body sensations and focus on a goal infront of you outside yourself. Also you can describe your surroundings to get outside of your head.

Or when marrying, if you really love her, then you trust her with your finances, with your food, with your well being. You trust her to care for you. So love dispels fear. You trust her because you love her, love in spite of fear. Even trusting her with your deepest secrets, where it would be logically very dangerous to do so otherwise. Even things that you don't trust your best male friend, you would trust your lover.

Part 2 pls..

So nice tightest. I’ve been saying this about love and fear (but as a component of power) for a while. I propose the right actually practices their religion and tells the left they love them. The love movement.

Plain and simple the four idols represent status, the lubrication of status hierarchies.
