I love getting up for a wee, then going back to bed, opening one curtain and lying looking out at world for 10minutes just patting my dog, letting thoughts pass through. ❤ I love that time of contemplation because it's so limited these days in a busy world

I love starring outside the window on a train and getting lost in my thoughts, I don’t need much to be entertained ☺️

If you're not religious id suggest looking into stoicism, its ancient wisdom on how to be a better person and live a better life ❤

Arthur C. Brooks has a world of knowledge and wisdom. I learned so much by listening to snippets of his interviews.

15 minutes a day reading wisdom

Time in prayer, gratitude,

Time with 0 distractions just being alive

I would add

time with loved ones/laughing %engaging

And time to move around

And time to improve something

All^^^ = time well spent

I really like your channel. Thanks a lot for your work ! I am eager to watch your videos 😊

Thank you both, so much. The host is radiating decency rarely found in young men. I wondered wherefrom, I learn he was brought up in faith. There is so much wisdom in the guest's words. When you come back Home, you will find yourself again. And find your answers. It may not be your childhood conception of faith, but now a more mature practice. Some kind of feedback will come, in the way your life unrolls, the people you meet...

Matthieu Ricard, 69, is a Tibetan Buddhist monk originally from France who has been called "the world's happiest man." That's because he participated in a 12-year brain study on meditation and compassion led by a neuroscientist from the University of Wisconsin, Richard Davidson. Davidson hooked up Ricard's head to 256 sensors and found that when Ricard was meditating on compassion, his mind was unusually light.

That is true. I knew it but never spent time thinking about it.

The way living in Islam is so beautiful and great ❤

Just because he is from Harvard doesn't mean he is the No. 1 Happiness expert. Every culture has its own ways of becoming happy. Expand your horizons, and don't pressure yourself. Find balance and be in service for others

Bring Ellen Langer to the show maybe? I don’t know who she is but apparently she’s interesting enough for him to talk about 🎤

Aristotle (/ˈærɪˌstɒtəl/; Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs, pronounced [aristotélɛːs]; 384–322 BCE) was an Ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings cover a broad range of subjects spanning the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science.

Does it count as mindfulness if write a diary while looking out of the window in a train? I have a 50 minute train journey in both directions several times a week, I like looking out of the window, writing the diary and looking out of the window again simultaneously :)

Meditations (Koinē Greek: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, romanized: Ta eis heauton, lit. 'things to one's self') is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.

Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes reveal that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron in Slovakia) and the second book was written at Carnuntum.

It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published. The work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs. Source: Wikipedia

I wonder what the different benefits of contemplation vs transcendental thoughtlessness…
