why you don't have to 'think positive' to be happy

In this video, we'll be talking about why thinking positive doesn't always work, why you don't have to think positive to be happy, and what to do instead to experience peace, love, and joy for most of your day.

For the beautiful souls that are interested, my new book is called Don't Believe Everything You Think: Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering is available on Amazon!

damn thankyou so much
I was so confused at that chapter but after watching this vid everything clear that if we are feeling stress, anxiety its nothing but bcs of our thoughts, thinking and choose them to let go. Dont be so attached to them. And i dont need to think positive to be positive its within myself. Simpllly not thinking about everything will solve every problem. Thankyou for this book❤*you're helpful for so many teens who's in the journey of self improvement like me*

Hi Joseph, thank you so much, it help! But i have one question: i' m the most time alone, for example i work 8h the day as a tramdriver, so i have soooo much time to thinking.. and also i live alone and i have no partner, so the most time in my life i m alone.. you had the example of happiest moments "with family and friends" thats true, its very easy to not thinking in contact with people... but what can i do in my time without connection with people? I stopped to thinking negative, but its not easy to stopped the positive voice, even when i m in the flow with creative work, there is a voice.. and i realised its unnatural to be so much time alone, but i love my job.. its just hard to not thinking in 8h

Thank you sir for the information, however i am confused at one part 1:56 you asks us to think about the moment, and in your book you ask us not to think at all, so can we think a little in between our lives or completely stop thinking, if completely stop thinking then why at 1:56 you asks us to think, please explain, thank you!
