Top Comments of this video!! :3
Hey man, love your work. Iâm an elementary art teacher in Chicago. Virtually all my students battle trauma and poverty. I want to get them interested in psychology in hopes of enriching their perspectives on introspection, creativity, the joys of achieving flow and everything. Your videos would be just a shade over their heads (10-14 year olds). Have you considered making any videos aimed at a slightly younger audience? Just a suggestion, but please keep doing what youâre doing!

Over the past year, my therapist and I have been working on this idea!
We've coined this as "The Pendulum of Life" rather than the title of this video.
Some days the pendulum will be on the "extremely happy" side, but it will absolutely swing back to the other side to the "extremely sad" side of the pendulum
This idea can be applied to many things, like sometimes my brain is super curious and wants to learn, sometimes it's full full full.
This is such a validating video, thank you Sisyphus

5:34 "Psychologically rich experiences on the other hand involve an active self-exposure to destabilizing events... we might try a food we never would have thought we would like." Interesting, because this is exactly the advice I got from a HealthyGamer video! I love seeing how these philosophies intersect like this.

Personally I have always kinda felt that the fact we don't feel joy or content for long periods is a chemistry thing. Like because we never feel content, because we always want more, we always will be motivated to keep going.
It's simultaneously a positive and a curse. Being proud of something is always a fleeting thing, we have to continue doing more things to make ourselves proud again else we begin to stagnate which breeds a horrid restlessness.
I have always found that if I am unhappy for long periods it means I must go through hardship to turn into a person which is happy with their accomplishments. Be it having slacked on projects, fallen off the wagon for working out, etc. It is hard to start said things again, but feels wholeheartedly rewarding when I do.
I find the great issue now is that we have so much that gives instant gratification. Games which flash shiny lights at you, bombastic movies, etc. All fine in the short term but if one finds themselves spending their whole day on it, it turns hollow and sour. The person still gets a drip feed of momentary joy but must suffer more and more frustration to get said joy, in the end spending much more time on a net negative experience than it would've taken to get true enjoyment from a task that has delayed gratification.

I read a book by Franco Berardi, The Soul at Work, student of Felix Guatarri and Gilles Deleize who you might be more familiar with. He speaks about reshaping the way you(and everyone) think about wealth from wealth being the accumulation of wealth and instead wealth in time in order to liberate yourself from the pressures of capitalism and to be able to see the pointlessness in spending such a large portion of our life at work and instead build a world free from it.

This makes me feel that I have been living correctly. What you call "The Psychologically Rich Life" I call collecting novel experiences, learning, and progressing. Travel is super important here. We get fresh eyes in a new place. It puts our brains into learning mode, and it gives me energy that I cant get elsewhere.

8:00 is exactly what I thinking about while walking my dog. There are almost infinite political parties/groups you can associate yourself with to have a better understanding of the world. But due to how expansive and continuously changing the world is, these political parties aren't enough to fully grasp an actual deeper understanding of the world.

thank you sisyphus, the most important things in life arenât what makes me happy, and my entire life i believed that to be true. now i know it isnât what makes me happy that is important, it isnât me as a person, my intelligence, how charismatic i am, or attractive or whatever surface level things that will make my life important, itâs how i choose to look at life.
