As someone in psych, I've nearly slept through better biopsychology lectures. That nucleus accumbens and blue spot sure are fascinating. The main place he lost the script was when he low key pushed the myth of hemispheric specialization, i.e. "left brain" vs "right brain." Our brain hemispheres do uptake a certain level of dominance over certain tasks, but which side has the larger focus to what isn't absolute and no task or category of tasks is unilaterally dedicated to whichever hemisphere over the other like the "math is the right brain and writing is the left" type comments people spirt off.

@amante2443 Жыл бұрын

@@custos3249 I agree with you but believe he should get the benefit of the doubt. Because, as @JointSnipe said, "He explains vastly deep concepts rather quickly". I suggest this for two reasons: first is a comment he made; second is the amount of cutting/video editing. The comment's around 2:45, he says, "... the brain, kinda, is in three parts. It's not exactly this way but just for reference ...". Having talked to researchers (I'm not one) who love to and are good at explaining their research, they often constantly repeat similar phrases. Such as, "For the purpose of this explanation ...", "to keep this short ...", "I'll make it more simpler than it is ...", etc. And this I believe ties in with that second reason, the video editing. Consider the amount of times the visual video is cut and then pieced together. It's normal for a professionally edited video with the goal of making a short & snappy vid. But I imagine (i.e. I'm just making it up) is how much he's probably "it's kinda ... but it's not exactly ... but just for ..." to the point where the editor(s) said, "rather than make it a drinking game, let's edit it". But, lucky for me, they left one in. In short, I agree with you. He seemed to push the myth of hemispheric specialisation. However, he should get the benefit of the editing doubt. I believe Brooks & the Wired team have a great vid here. If this were 20+ minutes, I wouldn't have watched it, let alone watch it several times, then googled the brain hemispheres stuff, then realise he (like others) oversimplified the explanation for a lay audience (like me) on KZfaq.

@laner.845 Жыл бұрын

I figured out "nothing lasts" as a kid and honestly it's the single greatest lesson I ever learned. Life hasn't been easy all the time, but... it never lasted. Easier times always came along. Those didn't last either, but there were always positive things to be leaned on even during harder times. It's all cyclical and nothing lasts, so don't sweat it if things aren't the way you'd prefer them to be, eventually they will be... and then they won't be again. Oh well. Read books, pet dogs, watch a sunset, appreciate the moments you have and keep those memories close during the times you don't have those things.

@randybugger3006 Жыл бұрын

@@leonore3349 A while back the wife of one of my friends got into painting rocks. She painted things like ladybugs or bunnies or flowers on them. One day she insisted that my friend and I each paint one too. My friend painted a bunny on his rock. I painted a bird skull and I wrote, "Nothing lasts forever" on my rock. She hasn't asked me to paint any more rocks. Whenever someone within earshot of me complains about something, I like to say, "Well, the good news is that some day we'll all be dead." It's a reminder that in the grand arc of history, our problems are trivial and dwelling on them is a waste of living. This sentiment is almost never received how it is intended.

@ashlink4772 Жыл бұрын

@@randybugger3006 I think that might be because reducing a person’s entire reality down to the truth that they will die is a bit… simple, right? Like yeah you’re speaking the truth, but when you’re in the middle of a crisis hearing that might have the opposite effect. Not because they are being irrational and not because what you’re saying isn’t true, it’s just that they cant actually appreciate what you were saying. So maybe… some people just don’t want to hear what we have to say? Or maybe they aren’t the right people to be talking to? Your rock was awesome, but I think she might have been painting rocks to make herself happy and maybe not consider her imminent mortality. Some people find that uncomfortable. Not me, I think the heat death of the universe is an ultimately extremely comforting idea. But I understand why people don’t want to stare directly into the sun (the sun being death/mortality). Idk. if this wasn’t helpful just disregard it, what do I actually know anyways? (Nothing)

I've found it incredibly helpful over the last year or two to stop worrying so much about all the time I'm "wasting". If I spend too much of my mental energy focused on how to make the most out of every second I live, I just get frustrated at life. Instead, if I try to enjoy the little things (even just a quick drive somewhere, the peace and quiet of that experience), I'm not constantly frustrated.

10:52 "Mindfulness is hard because we're time travelers." Been dealing with temporal angst for sometime. It just fascinates me that I can be on my way to a place or event and be kind of annoyed that I'm not already there. Most recently, I've been dealing with it by imagining that I am both on my way and already there at the same time. After all, time is just another dimension.

Ours brains are definitely funny. He mentions Thich Nhat Hanh, and in one of his books he talks about our crazy approach where maybe we’re waiting all day to go out for dinner and then at dinner are thinking about the next day or the next dinner vs enjoying the thing we were waiting for. There is also walking meditation where you treat walking not as a means to an end but as something in and of itself. With practice, even if you are going somewhere, can try to focus more on the walk itself and how it feels and what you’re seeing, vs where you’re going.

About the thumb nail question, I guess to counter that feeling you should think like "ok, I reached my goal, Im a little bit happier than I was before and thats ok." We should always keep getting "a little bit happier" with each goal and not dump all of our happiness in one of them.

This developing the skill of meta-cognition, that's the core of Buddhist practice for me. He basically just described my understanding of Buddhism in secular, scientific language. 10/10 can recommend meta-cognition, don't be a passive passenger on an emotional traintrack, decide to make better choices than simply responding to your emotions or preferences. Happiness is an attitude you bring to your experience, not what you extract out of it.

I think one of the silver linings of having mental illness during adolescence is that, if you get the right treatment and make it through, you gain an amount of wisdom and mental resilience that takes most people decades and decades to acquire through normal experience. I have friends I met in treatment who are 10-20 years older than me, in completely different life stages, but I'm more mentally comparable to them than I am people my age (in their early-mid 20s)

Good summary of the key happiness findings. I would revise one remark though: there are a few studies showing that tourists are actually happier when they take photos than when they do not. It is probably because the social interaction in photographing, and increased appreciation/savoring of whatever they are seeing, outweighs the (probably slight) reduction in mindfulness during the vacation as a whole.

after watching the video, i concluded that the key (or maybe one of it) of happiness is you have to *decide* that you're happy. like telling yourself "this is enough, i'm happy" and be aware of it. his explanation about prefrontal cortex made me think that way. so, it's more logical rather than emotional since we have to ponder and process until we arrive to the conclusion: "i'm happy." interesting.

This video is pure gold, watched it twice to take it all in and I’ll probably watch it twice more 😂

I've watched just about every one of these "XYZ answers Twitter questions" videos, and this was by far the most insightful for me. What a great vid.

4:45-6:19 was arguably the most helpful segment of this whole video! Very insightful!
