    BIG 10 IDEAS 

    (1:15) ELEPHANT AND RIDER
    Lots of divisions in past have been made: BODY vs. MIND / Right brain vs. Left brain / Superego id and super Id / etc
    Internal conflicts + sometimes want different things. Body mind need to work together.
    EX: Want monogamy - body attracted to different people
    EX: Want health but body craves sugar / salt / fat
    EX: Want start business but love sleeping in

    (2:15) HAPPINESS ORIGINS
    -STORY: Me in Thailand w/ monks. Doing whole life sitting / meditating. Rid of attachments. Other extreme: USA strive / compete / climb corporate ladder - consumer everything. Feels empty.
    What is middle path? Are there attachments worth striving for?
    1. GET WHAT YOU WANT (i.e. post goal / achievement / hedonism)
    2. COMES FROM WITHIN (Buddha / enlighten / exist)
    COMES FROM WITHIN, ALSO WITHOUT (middle path! / ARE things worth striving for in life / Strive for the RIGHT attachments)

    (4:00) HAPPINESS SET POINT
    We adapt to set point
    New TV week one is HUGE. Hot tub is HOT. Adapt over time.
    EX: 20million or be paralyzed from neck down - who’s happier? (within a year both similar to base line level of happiness w/in 10%)
    “Hedonic treadmill” - we don’t just habituate, we recalibrate

    (6:15) HAPPINESS FORMULA
    H = S+C+V
    EX: Plant: Spring back to life if get conditions right. Almost dead - but can be fixed. Same with us.
    Happiness = set point + conditions + voluntary actions
    Don't worry about what you can'y control (set point). Focus on what we can control (Conditions & Voluntary Actions) and maximize that!

    (9:30) LOVE + ATTACHMENTS
    2 kinds of love
    Compassionate love vs. passionate love

    (11:15) HAPPINESS SUCKERS
    NOISE: linked to more stress
    COMMUTE TIME: Never adapt or get used to
    LACK OF CONTROL: Wellspring of human happiness
    SHAME: sucks self worth
    RELATIONSHIPS: Need to handle conflict healthy way

    (14:10) HAPPINESS BOOSTERS
    Strong marriages
    physical touch
    meaningful relationships
    religious affiliation

    (16:15) VALUE CONSTRAINTS
    Suicide study = less likely the more constraints we have.
    Beneficial to have lines (coloring inside lines can be fun)

    (18:00) GOAL ATTAINMENT
    Pre goal striving vs Post goal striving
    Astronaut Syndrome: Whole life working for a goal, go to moon and back, shake president hand.... now what?
    We get more pleasure from making progress twoards our goals than we do from achieving them.

    (19:20) PURPOSE OF LIFE
    QUOTE: “I don’t believe there is an inspiring answer to the question ‘What is the purpose of life?’” he says. “Yet by drawing on ancient wisdom and modern science, we can find compelling answers to the questions of purpose within life. . . . Happiness is not something you can find, acquire or achieve directly. You have to get the conditions right, and then wait.” Focus on what you can do - get conditions right, keep improving and striving / accepting more. Certain level can force happiness. Just exists.

    It’s time to take control of a world that constantly bombards you with messages, orchestrating your desires and beliefs. Welcome to radical strategy: brainwashing for success.

    Before we get into the video, let’s break it down. Traditionally, brainwashing results in intense indoctrination. But what if I told you that this idea has a twist of change — one that’s made for you? Imagine reprogramming your subconscious mind, cutting off the relentless external noise racing for your attention.

    From the 6,000 to 10,000 ads we receive daily to the 5+ hours of scrolling through content carefully curated by the world’s richest social media influencers, your mind behaves.

    In this storm of external pressure, a stark reality emerges: If you don’t manipulate your mind, then you are being manipulated.

    But here's the secret they don't want you to know so you can sit in the programmer's chair. This journey does not require strength; It requires an unwavering unwavering mind.

    Ready to discover how you can get your sanity back and live the life you love?

    Let’s dive into the art of self-brainwashing.
