Succinct mashup of Buddha's Dependent Arising, Campbell's Hero's Journey and Bob Dylan's "Serve Somebody."

Wish they would give a clear shoot of the diagram on the screen behind him

"Put your hand up if you've wondered if you are weird. Oh good roughly half of you."
I didnt put my hand up because I know I'm weird...

[nikhilthntse]

Could anyone provide link of that energy app (for Android), I don't find it 🙏

[brothabuddha]

Please tell me he has a book on the subject matter!

[pabloreina]

Anyone got the app name? Can’t find it.
Brilliant talk otherwise.

[andrewsommerville]

Will there one day be a TEDx tak about how to ignore self-help talks and work out that finding how to deal with life on your own might bring its own reward?

[BelleOmbreGrey]

Funny, my energy levels for this drivel completely tanked as soon as he started hawking a phone app a tool for the spiritual journey he claims is universal. How'd humanity get this far, all these aeons without a smart phone?

[upgrade]

you sound ready to merge with machines :)

[nathaniellevy]

This is just Anthony de Mello but slicker, less spiritual, and more marketable!


(still a good video, but check him out if you haven't)

[annielou]

compared to the previous Ted Talks I felt this one was more about sales. It didn't have the same impact and energy of the previous ones. Shame

[martagilvazartlife]

Self seems to know a lot about the issue, i suppose someone that has helped "the powers that be" profit from human suffering would, this man does not care about people unless of course he has something to gain it seems.

A little bit madness win on a lot of wiseness coffee with salt ....

[patmat.]

Fishy when YT keeps pushing a channel in your stream 🐟. You bet, these are DACA immigrants, we're supposed to be like 'wow dude these dudes are clevers we should totally abolish borders' 🤣
