The Secret for a Good Life [with Sam Harris and Naval Ravikant] - Issue #8

Hey there!

Here you can find 2 things:

1) A link to my last post in Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq0j1Ln8Auo&t=1s&ab_channel=PickingNuggets

2) All the notes and/or reflections I made from this video:

----- Sam Harris ----------

- Source for significant psychological benefit:

* See thoughts as objects/appearances in Consciousness (rather than consciousness itself)

* Detach yourself from your thoughts.

- Why?:

* Most thoughts are irrational / unhelpful

• * Connects to Suffering

---- Naval Ravikant --------

- As we grow up, we develop a sense of self (ego).

- As ego grows, you have an ever increasing amount of non-helpful thoughts.

(the more you talk to yourself, judging everything, thinking about the past, the future...) --- you start living outside the present reality. --- Good for Planning / Bad for your Happiness.

- Lower your sense of self ---- leads to ---- more happiness, reality acceptance, live in the present.

I hope this can be useful to you!
