Creazione lezione...
1
Now these people that live this life, Do they have something they're working towards?
2
Do they have an idea that they're working towards?
3
I mean when you when you press them on it and ask them like why are you here?
4
Do you ever plan on leaving?
5
Do you ever see yourself going somewhere else?
6
That's a really good question.
7
I asked them all those questions.
8
So, no, they felt like that was their calling.
9
They're calling.
10
They were doing what they were supposed to be doing.
11
Hmm. And...
12
that they were committed to that lifestyle.
13
So no, they weren't, uh, There was no thought of going back.
14
There have been monks that have left the monastery.
15
Just wasn't the right lifestyle for them.
16
Mm -hmm But the monks that were there when I was there, 50 years, they were committed and they're not going anywhere.
17
When you say that's what's confusing to me like I understand that they're enjoying and I understand that they're
18
they like that life, but that it's a calling.
19
Like the calling to do nothing. Or just think.
20
Sacrifice.
21
Mm -hmm serve God.
22
Live a life of purity.
23
This is not...
24
I couldn't do it, but I think that's kind of the mindset around it. And, um...
25
step away from the regular life that they were living.
26
What's interesting is that they weren't born into the monastery.
27
Right.
28
A lot of these guys made this decision in their 20s, 30s.
29
You know, so...
30
What were their jobs before they did it?
31
All over the board.
32
all over the board, literally.
33
Uh...
34
One guy, I mean one of the monks was a lifeguard as a teenager.
35
Wow.
36
I mean just all over the board.
37
So, but regular jobs, just always felt connected to God and connected to this higher...
38
living a life just, you know, under these terms.
39
Well, what's fascinating to me is that you're saying that they're so happy, because if you get a...I mean, how many people are in this monastery?
40
uh.. eight and they're all male Yes.
41
Eight men.
42
If you get eight random men in their, you know, what's the youngest age?
43
35. 35 up to 70 is.
44
You get eight random 35 to 70s and ask how many of them are happy.
45
actually truly happy.
46
Maybe two.
47
Right?
48
How many people do you think are happy?
49
Well, they just did a study.
50
There's a famous Harris study on happiness in this country.
51
I think 67 % of people are unhappy.
52
That is fucked.
53
Here's what here.
54
I did this, Joe.
55
You'll, this is a good test.
56
Maybe you'll, you'll want to do this.
57
I did this when I was speaking at an event for 500 wall street people.
58
recently and it was fascinating.
59
I'll take you through it.
60
You can tell me if you're comfortable with it.
61
But if you take all the areas of your life and put them in a blender, Okay, so take where you live,
62
your relationships, your finances, your health, everything, everything.
63
Put it in one fucking big blender and blend it up.
64
And on a scale of one to 10, with a 10 being the Dalai Lama of happiness and a one.. being a guy that's at rock zero,
65
being someone that's at rock bottom, What's your happiness number?
66
Me?
67
Yeah, I'm pretty fucking happy.
68
I don't know.
69
I wouldn't do it that way.
70
I definitely wouldn't give it a number.
71
Okay.
72
Because I feel like that you're making something You're turning like a constant state of thinking and expression and consideration,
73
you're turning it into a number.
74
I just I don't like that idea.
75
I don't like that idea
76
because I think it's a management issue I think a lot of what happiness is a management issue
77
and decisions that you're making right now Like you could be in a shit state of mind right now, but you could make some decisions to adjust that
78
and over the next couple hours You'll get to a much better place
79
and these constant management decisions They waver in
80
and out of your life on a daily basis like this idea
81
that you could have a good mindset then also you'll be happy that's what horseshit.
82
Like, It's that's like it's like the tide it comes in
83
and it comes out there's gonna be days where you're just not feeling
84
so good physically
85
and that's going to affect the way your happiness level is
86
it's never static it's never the exactly the same true but
87
if you look at it overall at 30 ,000 feet
88
and you had to give yourself a grade we happy as fuck is what I would say okay I'm pretty happy Okay, so I'll take that.
89
I'll take that.
90
Most people in that room, raise their, I said if anyone is seven and, you know, for anyone listening that wants to do it, raise your hand if you're, you know,
91
Seven or below I don't want to put anyone on the spot
92
and majority the room stood up right being a seven
93
and thinking you know Like sevens a pretty happy number but a seven
94
If my son comes home with a 70 on a test, It's a C minus.
95
- Right.
96
- And all I'm saying is, what's interesting about the test though, if you do actually go through the process, for those that like go through and get a number in their head or whatever,
97
or do want to give their self a grade, your brain automatically goes to a 10.
98
and then subtracts the two or three things pop in that make you, that bring your happiness down.
99
It's a great way to identify
100
What's making you unhappy and
101
that you know what I mean right like you started at 10 you're like oh fuck my relationship
102
or this or
103
that Usually it triggers an automatic like this is what's fucked up in my life response right
104
and you can it helps you identify But it's interesting we have benchmarks and in so many things in our life.
105
You have an IQ test.
106
You have tax brackets to measure your...
107
your wealth or financial statements.
108
You have IQ tests, like I said, you can get on a scale to measure your weight.
109
But you're right, happiness is one of those things.
110
It's like, how do you benchmark it You know what I mean?
111
It kind of fluctuates and...
112
It's like hunger.
113
I mean, it's something that goes in and out.
114
It's always there.
115
But happy as fuck is a good answer.
116
Yeah, but this is something I've cultivated for a long time and avoided things that make me unhappy.
117
And figured out what those things are and been very rigid about eliminating them from my life.
118
And one of the big ones is eliminating interactions with people that are negative.
119
That is gigantic. And be...
120
Because I've realized
121
that I'm not really as independent as I used to like
122
to think I was I used to like to think
123
that my thought process was independent and
124
that I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks that's nonsense people say
125
that because they absolutely care what people think and it bothers them
126
so they say I don't give a fuck but
127
that I don't give a fuck stuff is almost entirely nonsense you do care
128
and you care in both ways you care
129
if people critical of you care if people are positive you
130
but you also care if people are living positive lives and they're motivating you.
131
That's a big one.
132
People are fuel.
133
other people it's one of the reasons why I like talking
134
to people one of the reasons why I like to do podcasts
135
because I get a lot out of you know like just talking to you about your time in the monastery
136
or your your push to get to that hundred miles like you get
137
energy out of people like that and you think about this energy
138
and you think about this inspiration when you're doing other things and
139
It also sets in your mind that when you meet these exceptional people that move you like what are the characters?
140
What are the qualities that they have?
141
What are the characteristics that they that they possess and those things become?
142
Significant and important to you whereas if you live around a bunch of people
143
that are complaining and bitching about everything and they see the negative in everything and they're always training.
144
Those people are the opposite of that.
145
They're the opposite of inspiration and they're just mud.
146
You're just like, "Whaaaah !" It's like you're up to your ankles in mud, you try to trudge through life.
147
It's difficult.
148
You're not light.
149
It's not pushing you.
150
There's not a wind at your back.
151
The wind's in your face and it's rough.
152
You know, and...
153
Over time I've learned
154
that these people you just you're not gonna fix them I used to want to fix them
155
when I was young I used to want to go hey
156
man I see what you're doing like dude don't do
157
that anymore listen just try just just do this and
158
and stop doing that and start doing this and
159
if you just work towards this you could be successful and then I a week later the guy's doing the same shit.
160
You're like, "Okay, I'm wasting a significant amount of my energy on someone who
161
doesn't want to waste any of their energy on themselves." And so, managing the community and the tribe that you're in,
162
making sure that you're a good member of that tribe, that you're doing your part, you know, and
163
There's a lot of cynicism in these days about inspiration and about motivation because there's a lot of fake shit.
164
You know, you can go on Instagram and you see a million of these
165
inspirational quote pages and they're run by people that are probably depressed.
166
You know, you see a lot of people that are, you know, talking about how to get ahead in life, but they're not really doing anything themselves.
167
So there's a lot of cynicism involved in that, but there's also sincerity in it, and you can get, if you just look at it with a pure heart and a pure mind,
168
you can get a lot of energy out of that.
169
And, when you're around happy, inspirational people that are successful, it makes you feel better.
170
And you get inspired.
171
And if you act on that inspiration, your life will be more fulfilled.
172
And it's not just inspirational in terms of financial success, but in terms of doing difficult things, whether it's running 100 miles, it doesn't pay you a goddamn thing,
173
other than the wealth of the knowledge that you can push yourself to such an extreme, or anything else, whether it's someone who becomes really good at playing chess
174
or someone who's really good at martial arts or whatever it is.
175
There's a great feeling in these, overcoming these difficult things.
176
Because life is never this just constant state of, "I'm at a nine all day and when I'm with my wife I hit ten.
177
Yay!
178
And I stay like that." That's not real.
179
What's real is like
180
You saying that you went to this monastery
181
and felt all this angst about meditating and being alone and not having your phone and not having the input, but then when it comes out of it,
182
then you have this reward.
183
yourself a day that's where it all comes from it all comes from life lessons
184
and the lessons are learned through struggle and I think
185
that there's a lot of people out there that think somehow
186
or another you're gonna get to some place where you're living in silk sheets
187
and you're getting your toes done
188
while someone's dropping grapes into your mouth I don't want
189
that I've never wanted that
190
that guy's not gonna be happy he's gonna be bored hour
191
into the grapes you can get those fucking grapes away from
192
me stop painting my toes what am I doing this bed I gotta do something I'm not stimulating The human organism, the animal that we are,
193
needs constant stimulation because it evolved trying to find food and escape enemies.
194
And find shelter, escape nature, escape the elements, try to survive.
195
And this is the great joy that you have in taking care of your children.
196
That you can protect your children from the elements and the enemies and feed them.
197
And it's also the great sadness that you see in losers.
198
basement and he fucking hates the world.
199
I'm like that was a baby.
200
Man, this is a baby that somebody just gave shitty nutrients to,
201
whether it's nutrients in the forms of food or in the form of thoughts and ideas and examples.
202
And this kid developed these horrible, self -defeating patterns of behavior that have led them to this point.
203
Where they're this middle -aged person with no future
204
and no idea of how to get out of this rut and probably never will escape it.
205
And might just wind up sucking on a gun.
206
You know, I mean this is this is the world
207
that we live in today and I think part of
208
that world is because we have been fed this line of horseshit
209
that you're supposed to seek comfort and I don't think you are.
210
I think you're supposed to seek lessons and you're supposed to seek difficult tasks
211
and and and and accomplishments and through those things
212
and through doing things that are hard to do even if it's just a fucking 90 minute hot yoga class.
213
I do a 90 minute yoga class man.
214
Those last 20 minutes.
215
I do not want to be there man.
216
give a hundred percent
217
and I can cheat I can I could kind of half -ass it I can
218
but I can but if I don't
219
I get through it when that time is up
220
and the lady says namaste
221
and everybody gets up my fuck man I made it you
222
know I lost 15 pounds my fucking yoga mat is drenched
223
to the point where I could literally ring it out fill a jug up with water but I Through that struggle, I will now have a better day,
224
and I better fucking do it again tomorrow.
225
Or do something else.
226
Because if I just think, well, tomorrow I'm just gonna coast and eat Twinkies and watch TV.
227
Oh, hello, sadness, my old friend.
228
Hello, depression.
229
Because when you're not doing anything, you feel like shit.
230
And that's just a part of being a human being.
231
And we can pretend that we're something other than what we really are.
232
And we can pretend, nah, me, man, I'm just cool, just chilling, doing nothing.
233
Bullshit.
234
You're a fucking human.
235
You're a human being.
236
You evolve from the...
237
fucking hundreds of thousands of years of hunters and gatherers and people that were struggling.
238
Those were human reward systems are carved deeply into your DNA and if you don't respect that, if you don't respect the mechanism of happiness and fulfillment
239
and what you really need to do in order to feel satisfied in life, Camaraderie, love, family, friendship, struggle,
240
testing yourself, learning, all those things are imperative.
241
They're all a giant part of being a person.

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — un’abitudine o uno stato passato che non è più vero | used to like · used to want |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | were committed · weren't born · is fucked |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have been · I've cultivated · I've realized |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 98 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come you're, they're, don't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: inspirational /ˌɪnspəˈɹeɪʃənəl/, benchmark /ˈbɛn(t)ʃmɑːk/, accomplishment /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ.mənt/, stimulation /stɪm.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/, exceptional /ɪkˈsɛpʃənəl/

- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: grape /ɡɹeɪp/, monk /mʌŋk/, fascinate /ˈfæsɪneɪt/, nutrient /ˈnuː.tɹi.ənt/, benchmark /ˈbɛn(t)ʃmɑːk/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: unhappy /ʌnˈhæpi/, fascinate /ˈfæsɪneɪt/, sadness /ˈsædnəs/, subtract /səbˈtɹækt/, gigantic /d͡ʒaɪˈɡæntɪk/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
