you are so calming in your whole way of communicating .... and your teaching is simple, easy to take in, makes sense and really brilliant. Thank You

Your videos are so warm and peaceful. I fall asleep listening to your talks.

Noah Elkrief for president!!! :D

Noah? Are you still on KZfaq? I'd like to tell you that I struggle a lot with a mental illness that almost killed me a year ago. For the last 6 months I've been dealing with horrible nightmares and now I watch your videos before I go to sleep, and it really helps me calm down and feel safer during the night. Your very true words make things easier for me, not a whole lot, but a little bit, and that's enough. And I'm so grateful I found your KZfaq channel. You're so gifted and smart and I thank you a million times for sharing your thoughts with me. Hope you're still on KZfaq.

thank you for helping me to feel better

This video deserves a million views. Your example of others not feeling stressed about the same job, in my situation is due to the fact that others seem too smart and make the job easier for them them and they seem to understand and figure out the particular task, while for me it takes so much time and low production due to me having difficulty understand the same.

Love this video, helped me to slow down and just relax!

I LIKE TO WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS SO I CAN SEE BETTER.... YOU ARE SO WISE FOR SUCH A YOUNG GUY....I LIKE LISTENING TO YOUR WISDOM.... I'M JUST UNDER 1000 YEARS OLD.... THANKS ....YOU HELP ALOT OF PEOPLE....

I found your videos in desperation over a breakup I'm going through. I wanted you to know that you seem to have something for my every problem. Also I seem to have every problem you have a video for. You are a wise and compassionate man. You're helping me in a difficult time and I thank you for it. You don't seem to address 'how to stop hurting when someone's broken up with you because you really did deserve it and nothing you can do will ever make it any better."

I'm so glad I found you!! I'm going through a horrible time and can't seem to get a grip. I just had major neck surgery and it just seemed to make my anxiety off the charts. I've always for as long as I can remember been off the charts with stress and anxiety. This is an amazing video. I need help

This man knows... It's not easy to analyse one self, but damn hard to accept "imperfection". Key to happiness.

This is literally the greatest video I have ever seen in my entire life. I am even taking notes on it. Great perspective on the concept that we truly do not know what the future holds and if our decisions are good or bad in the bigger picture. All we can do is work hard and enjoy the journey! Thanks for this

You are just spot on with your examples, which I am having these past few months, thank you for this, you are simply amazing!

I can't thank you enough Noah, I swear sometimes I can get so stressed out but then I think to myself "oh, these are just thoughts in my head they don't mean anything about me,just thoughts,there is nothing to stress about." I feel like I have come so far in these past year , it's crazy, scratch that incredible,Thank you Noah your method has really helped me make it through tough times.

Amazing how much common sense goes into this, yet I had failed to think about stressful outcomes in this way till today. Great stuff!

all I can say is this is helping me out for today,yes hope I can carry it through my daily life to not be stress

this video genuinely helped me have a moment of clarity, thank you for that

This is my second video I've watched by Noah, absolutely incredible! Noah has the incredible ability to articulate a practical path to shifting paradigms that we aren't aware of.

Noah you are a great human being!

I truly appreciate all of your videos. You re straight forward, factual, and very soothing. Thank you for taking your time to help make me/others reach our true selves and be more at peace. I hope to see even more new videos. Many blessings to you and yours.

this was the single most helpful thing i have heard all year. Thank you so much for making these videos

You sir are amazing.

One of the noblest things a human can do is to work out their own issues, find joy, contentment, and fulfillment within and inside of THEMSELVES and then pass it on to others. :) Thank you for doing your part.

Superior. Thank you Noah, so glad I found you.

Thank you Noah for these videos. I won't go into detail, suffice it to say that they have been very good for me in recent months. I like the consistent, persistent way that you 'batter home' an idea - it's like an antidote/challenge to my mind, which consistently and persistently 'batters home' it's own negative ideas!

Big thank you!I got it, now it is time to put in practice.

You and your videos have really helped me get through some really really rough times lately. Thank you Noah.

Your videos are the only thing keeping me sane right now. Thank you so much for making them.

I love this channel, cause your advice is advice that I know or should know, but hearing you comfirm it makes it easier for me to follow instead of me going through it alone. It's always more helpfull to hear a calm insuring voice.

Thank you. This video was a huge life changing help to me. At least for this moment.

thank you soo much for your videos. this is the second video I'm watching since I'm dealing with anxiety, stress, illness and many more issues and I was right now having a big migrane and while listening to you I started to see the blessings I have and how much thoughts imnputting on things that are not worth it. thank you again and looking forward to watching more of your videos and sharing them.

It makes perfect sense! Thank you for your priceless help.

I recently discovered your channel after being taken to the ER 2 days ago and having my heart rate stabilized with some sort of heart pill, and being given lorazepam aka ativan via IV. I had heart palpitations and felt as if i was going to pass out or feint at any second.. along with a racing heart. It was pretty scary and i thought something was seriously wrong with me. They kept me for 3 hours and after all their tests, they chalked it up to being sinus tachycardia most likely brought on from anxiety or stress. Which more or less is just a uncontrollably fast heart rate.. 150bpm in my case. I have been constantly looking through the internet for help but found none as beneficial as your videos. This was so recent that i need immediate help, and im glad to have found a form of it here. im only 20 years old, and have a feeling i have a bit of a journey ahead of myself to get over this. I suffer from anxiety, stress, anger and depression issues, but i was too blind to notice all of them until this "breakdown". I am going to being doing my best to make a conscious decision in staying calm and generally being a more positive, less hateful person. At this current moment im still getting anxiety attacks, and can feel my heart beat in my chest and neck.. sometimes between my shoulders.. Which always gets me thinking about anxiety and its a endless cycle, but hopefully ill get over this soon. Somehow typing this all down has made me feel a little better.. or maybe its just me distracting myself aha. Either way, thanks for all the time you put into this channel. I know for a fact you are helping thousands of people. Thank you.

I admire your work.

Thank you, wise and thoughtful and sincere.

Noah Elkrief: this video is SOOO IMPORTANT for me! Thank you!

you just NAILED the bottom of the issue dear Noah..may Allah always bless you. great man you are.

This video is so helpful, Noah. Thank you so much. The company I work for organized external training for the managers and team leaders this week. Today we are going to talk about stress management and this is something I need help on. So as I was having breakfast this morning, I decided to check on KZfaq and see what I will find and I came across your video. It really helped me and I wanted to thank you for doing it for us. Thank you, Dobi

Thanks Noah I feel like you just saved my life you are wise and calm you have my subscription keep making viddeos

Hi , Noah, I have been watching your KZfaq videos, and bought your book (when it is not free by the way haha), they are very helpful, in helping me figure out the fact that sufferings are created by thoughts. Throughout my whole life, both in long term and short term, I had been always looking for things that might make me feel good, such as getting good grades, entering a good school, developing a hobby, or engaging in fantasies of having a dream girl or a dream job. Or in short term, I ate, watched TV or Played games, Chat a lot to make me happy. Of course they both brought me some pleasure, more or less, but I still felt a sense of lack, or a sense of discontent, like a hole that can't be filled. I know now that by themselves their effectiveness of bringing happiness is quite limited. Logically speaking and by my own experiences, I can see how our attachment to things makes us suffer. Thinking that some things will bring us happiness (now or in the future), and feel depressed when they don't is not fun at all. Especially for those addictive activities such as watching TV, porn or playing video games, going to movies, having sex..etc, they give pleasure in some sensational ways, but in no way fulfilling. However, there are still constant urges for me to engage in them. For example, when I am trying to read some books for my entrance test to a school (I know getting into a good school itself cannot make me happy by the way) I still feel strong urges to reading posts on my Facebook, or reading e-mails, watching TV, Porn , and other stuff. Although I am almost always sure they only provide me with temporary distractions(As it always proves to be true later on). I choose to keep doing them anyway, and in fact they even lose their power of distraction after a short while, it becomes like chewing gum of no flavor, but still I choose to chew it anyway. I believe I am not the only person who is being stuck in similar patterns. I watched your videos about stopping procrastinating for many times. You mentioned you makes the thing that doesn't motivate you "neutral". I can see what you are talking about, but when the activity itself doesn't make me interested, it can be hard to say it's neutral, it's a sense of discontent or lack. I read some books of buddism, and they resonates with you to some degree. Maybe our lives are in its entity "discontent", we are always searching for things that makes us happy in all sorts of ways, then when we achieve them, we either are scared of losing them or just disappointed that they don't bring as much as a long-term happiness as we thought they may. However, we are keeping doing this anyway. And it seems to be the only way that the world are telling us how to be happy, as in our education, tradition and other scenarios. When people are saying that some things are "right" to do, they are actually saying that doing that thing will make us or others happy in the long or short term, but its doesn't really work because nothing by itself can bring us long-term happiness. When thinking of this, it makes me feel that every person on the planet is in some degree equal, ugly or pretty, rich or poor, whatever nationalities we are of, unknowingly we are just doing the same thing in different ways, and this strategy rarely works, if ever (as in bringing happiness) and when they work to some degree, we often are scared of losing the happiness they brought again. Is the entity of life a sense of lack? As for me, "the sense of lack" doesn't seem to be "thoughts" It's more of a thing that's always hidden in the background and even when we are engaging in distractions, we are feeling them knowingly or unknowingly. If that's the case I think I can try to get used to it little by little, instead of trying to look for happiness in ways that doesn't really work.

Real good video @Noah. Your speech gave me the confidence I lost because of work stress.

your videos have helped me so much thank you

great vid noah. inspiring people everyday!

Hi Noah! Great video, I feel this has really helped overcome my stress. Something else that is really bothering me though is not stress, but simple discomfort or sadness. More specifically, I don't like going to school :/ Obviously school and my classes aren't causing my displeasure, but I can't quite figure out how to disbelieve the type of thoughts I'm having. My thoughts are basically: "this is boring. I rather be doing something else. This isn't fun. I'm wasting my time." How can I overcome these? It's sort of different than anxiety thoughts. Thank you!!

GREAT VIDEO. Very practical 👍🙏

this helped a lot

This is amazing! You are amazing Sir

Just what I needed! Thanks!

Noah you are the best , a big hug from Perú

Thanks. Your videos help me a lot.

Yea I was negative about the "disproving thoughts" process but once I got into it, it gets easier and I've found some relief. Although it's not as easy or straightforward as the whole feeling into and letting the energy grow method, it's certainly another tool to use to see what's real and what isn't. Thanks.

Great to listen to first thing in the morning,,,Noah Thanks for a wonderful vid,,,

I found this video to be very helpful!

Great video
