What is happiness?

I think it's just basically being okay with where you are.

Not wanting.

Not wanting things to be different than the way they are.

Not having the sense that anything is missing in this moment.

If you can observe your own thoughts and view them a little objectively, then you can start being a little more choosy, a little more critical.

And you can realize that there are no problems in the real world other than maybe things

that inflict pain on your body.

Everything else has to become a problem in your mind first You have to view it

and interpret it and create a narrative

that it is a problem before it becomes a problem and then you realize that a lot of your

emotional energy is spent on reacting to things

that your mind is automatically saying are problems And you don't need all those problems.

Do you really need that many problems in your life?

Again, I would say try to focus on just one Overarching problem and then go solve that problem.

If you define pain as physical pain, then it's a real thing.

It happens and you can't ignore it.

But that's not what we mean by suffering.

Suffering is mostly mental anguish and mental pain.

And it just means you don't want to do the task at hand.

If you were fine doing the task at hand, then you wouldn't be suffering.

And then the question is, what's more effective, to suffer along the way or just to interpret it in a way that it's not suffering?

You hear from a lot of successful people, they look back and they say, oh, the journey was the fun part, right?

That was actually the entertaining part

and i should have enjoyed it more it's a common regret

but just be careful because your attention is the only thing

that you have one big anxiety resolve for me is just

ruminating on death i think that's a good one you're gonna die it's all going to zero

if you can keep the idea in front of you at all times

that you're going to die and that everything goes literally to zero

what's there to stress about yeah for better

or worse life is very short how should people deal with

its briefness enjoy it there's a little thought exercise i like to do

which is you can go back into your own life

and try to put yourself in the exact position you were

in five years ago 10 years ago 15 years ago 20 years ago

and you try to remember okay who was i with what

was i doing what was i feeling what were my emotions what were my objectives

and really really try to transport yourself back and see

if there's any advice you'd give yourself anything you'd do differently

now you don't have new information don't pretend you could have gone back

and you know bought a stock or bought bitcoin or whatever

but just knowing what you know now in terms of your temperament

and a little bit of age related experience how would you have done things differently

and i think it's a worthwhile exercise to do

so don't let me rob you of the conclusion

but i'll tell you for me uh i would have done

everything the same except i would have done it with less anger, less emotion, less internal suffering.

Because that was optional, it wasn't necessary.

And I would argue that someone who can do the job at least peacefully,

but maybe happily, is going to be more effective than someone who has unnecessary emotional turmoil.

And the journey is not only the reward, the journey is the only thing there is.

Even success, it's human nature to bank it very, very quickly.

Because the normal loop that we run through is you sit around, you're bored, then you want something then

when you want something you decide you're not going to be happy until you get

that thing then you start your bout of suffering or anticipation

while you strive to get that thing if you get

that thing then you get used to it

and then you get bored again then a few months later you want something else

and if you don't get it then you're unhappy for a bit

and then you get over it then you want something else right that's the normal cycle

so whether you're happy

or unhappy at the end it tends not to last now i don't want to be glib and say that, oh, there's no point in making money or being successful.

There absolutely is.

Money solves all your money problems.

So it is good to have money.

That said, there are those

stories that shows that people who break their back

and people who win the lottery are back to their baseline happiness two years later.

Again, I don't know if that's entirely true.

I think money can buy you happiness if you earned it, because then along the way, you have both pride and confidence in yourself

and you have a sense of accomplishment and you set out to do something and you were right.

How do you shortcut that desire contract?

You could focus, you could decide that I don't want most things.

I think we have a lot of unnecessary desires that we just pick up everywhere.

We have opinions on everything, judgments on everything.

So I think just knowing that those are the source of unhappiness

will make you be choosy about your desires and frankly

if you want to be successful you have to be choosy

about your desires you have to focus you can't be great

at everything you can't be great at everything you're just going to waste your energy

and waste your time don't do something you don't want to do why are you wasting your time there's

so little time on this earth life goes fast what are the four thousand weeks that's your lifespan um

and and yes we hear that but we don't remember it

but uh i guess i'm keenly aware of how little time I have, so I'm just not going to waste it.

Don't fritter away your life on randomly scheduled things and things that aren't important, don't matter, and events and weddings and,

you know, tedious dinners with tedious people that you don't want to go to.

To the extent you can bring freedom into your life, optimize for that, you'll actually be more productive.

You won't just be happier, more free.

You will be more productive because then you can focus on what is in front of you, whatever the biggest problem of that day.

When I wake up in the morning, the first four hours are when I have the most energy.

And that's when I want to solve all the hard problems.

And the next four hours are when I kind of want to, you know, do some more outdoorsy activities or I want to work out or maybe I can, you know, have some meetings,

but I'll try to do those last second based on whatever the day's priorities demand.

The last four hours, I kind of want to wind down.

I want to hang out with the kids and I want to play games or read a book or something like that.

So having that flexibility and freedom is really important.

So you can just put whatever is most needed into the slot at that moment.

I reject this frame that efficiency and productivity and success are counter to happiness and freedom.

100

They actually go together.

101

How so?

102

The happier you are, the more you can sustain doing something, the more likely you're going to do something

103

that will in turn make you even happier and you'll continue to do it and you'll outwork everybody else.

104

The more free you are, the better you can allocate your time

105

and the less you're caught up in a web of obligations

106

and commitments and the more you can focus on the task at hand.

107

So what matters is just being present for the thing.

108

So if you're doing something that you want to do and you're fully there for it, then it's not wasted time.

109

If you don't want to do it

110

and your mind is running away from it and you're reacting against it

111

and you're wishing you were somewhere else and you're thinking about some other thing

112

or you're anticipating some future thing or regretting some past thing or being fearful of something, then that's wasted time.

113

That's time that's being wasted when you're not actually present for the reality in front of you.

114

So my definition of wasted time, yes, I do want some material things in life and there are things that have more value than others within this life.

115

But this life is very short and bounded.

116

So the true waste of time is a time that you are not present for, when you are not there for it,

117

when you are not doing the thing you want to do to the best of a capability such

118

that you're immersed in it.

119

If you're not immersed in this moment, then you're wasting your time.

120

The worst outcome in the world is not having self -esteem.

121

Why?

122

Yeah, it's a tough one.

123

I look at the people, and I don't want to offend anybody, but I look at the people who don't like themselves, and that's the toughest slot because they're always wrestling with themselves.

124

And it's hard enough to face the outside world.

125

And no one's going to like you more than you like yourself.

126

So if you're struggling with yourself, then the outside world becomes an insurmountable challenge.

127

And it's hard to say why people have low self -esteem.

128

It might be genetic it might just be circumstantial.

129

A lot of times I think it's because they just weren't unconditionally loved as a child, and that sort of seeps in at a deep core level.

130

But self -esteem issues can be the most limiting.

131

To some extent, self -esteem is a reputation you have with yourself.

132

You're watching yourself at all times, you know what you're doing, and you have your own moral code.

133

Everyone has a different moral code.

134

But if you don't live up to your own moral code, the same code that you hold others to, it will damage your self -esteem.

135

So perhaps one way to build up your self -esteem is

136

to live up to your own code very rigorously have one and then live up to it

137

another way to raise your self -esteem might be to do things for others

138

if I look back on my life and you know what are the moments

139

that I'm actually proud of there's very far and few between

140

and it's not

141

that often it's not the things you would expect it's not the material success it's not having learned this thing

142

or that it's when I made a sacrifice for somebody

143

or something that I loved and that's when I'm actually ironically most proud.

144

Now that's through an explicit mental exercise but I'll bet you at some level I'm recording that implicitly.

145

So that tells me that even if I am not being loved then the way to create love is to give love, to express love through sacrifice and through duty.

146

And so I think doing things like that can build up your self -esteem really fast.

147

Because anxiety is the emotion du jour of the 21st century and lots of driven people,

148

very anxious, very paranoid, that's what's caused them to be affected it pays

149

so much attention detail oriented not letting things go staying up

150

at night thinking about it that's the paranoia coming in what have you come to learn about anxiety

151

and dealing with it so anxiety and stress are interesting they're very related stress is

152

when like if you look at an iron beam

153

when an iron beam is under stress it's

154

because it's being bent in two different directions at the same time

155

so when your mind is under stress is

156

because it has two conflicting desires at once

157

so for example you know you you want to be liked

158

but you want to do something selfish and you can't reconcile the two and

159

so you're under stress you want to do something for somebody

160

else you want to do something for yourself right these are you you don't want to go to work

161

but you want to make money so you're under stress right

162

so you have two conflicting desires

163

and I think one of the ways to get through stress is to acknowledge

164

that oh I actually have two conflicting desires

165

and either I need to resolve it I need to pick one

166

and then be okay losing the other or I will decide later

167

but at least just being aware of why your stress can help alleviate a lot of stress

168

and then anxiety I think is sort of this pervasive

169

unidentifiable stress where you're just kind of stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why.

170

And you can't even identify the underlying problem.

171

And the reason for that is because you have so many unresolved problems,

172

unresolved stress points that are piled up in your life that you can no longer identify what the problems are.

173

And there's this mountain of garbage in your mind, and it's a little bit of it poking out the top like an iceberg.

174

And that's anxiety.

175

But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things.

176

And so you just need to kind of go through very carefully every time you're anxious.

177

Like, okay, why am I anxious this time?

178

I don't know why.

179

Oh, well, let me sit here and just think about it.

180

Let me write down what the possible causes could be.

181

Let me meditate on it.

182

Let me journal.

183

Let me talk to a therapist.

184

Let me talk to my friends.

185

Let me just kind of see, like, when does that stress go away?

186

If you can kind of identify and unravel and resolve these issues, then I think that helps get rid of anxiety.

187

A lot of the anxiety is piled up because we move through life too quickly, not observing our own reactions to things.

188

We don't resolve them.

189

So this goes counter to what I was saying earlier about not reflecting too much on things.

190

But you reflect on the problems to observe them and solve them.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
