So glad you didn't give up when all publishers turned you down. You created this awesome thought provoking channel and have reached millions. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this channel. I hope your book does well. A lot of people give up on their dreams or goals the minute they get rejected by one publisher or 1 person about whatever it is, whether it's a book, idea whatever. An than they spend the rest of their lives thinking about the what if? What could have been and regret that they never really tried more. You are an example of what can happen when you don't give up. This channel is truly a treasure chest of thought provoking ideas that make us question and wonder about many things.

One day "Pursuit of Wonder" itself will be a school of philosophy; remembered and revered in the most intellectual part of society and accademia.

Your created contents are like ointments for the many pains of existence. An existence during which knowing and understanding of yours, is some sort of luck.

This has so much meaning to me. I’m a dreamer and a self examiner. This channel has always struck a chord and I know I’m surrounded by like minded wonderers. Keep it up. Please.

[Hawklaxx]

Man, I’m going to be honest. I’ve never really felt as if I’ve properly belonged to anything in real life as in some community. I’ve always felt as if there was no one around me who thinks in the way I do on a day to day basis and it’s lead me to feeling very isolated but with this channel and just reading these other comments, i feel more so as if I’ve been wrong to assume that I’m really alone

[jakepeter]

Over the years you’ve quite literally transformed the ways in which I understand and interact with myself, the world, and art. I can’t thank you enough 🤝

recommended really gave this to me in 15 seconds

Pursuit of wonder is the channel that made me who I am

[jadedseer]

Pursuit of Wonder is, as far as I am concerned, one of the most relevant channels on Youtube. It had helped me question matters I never questioned before, as well as find answers I never thought I personally needed.
For all it's worth, thank you for reaching out and connecting with us.

Bro you don't have Idea how your videos helped me, Thank you ❤️

[sakomei]

You are absolutely amazing at what you do, and have changed many lives including mine. I went through a psychotic dissociative depression that left me feeling beyond aliented and seperated from reality. It wasnt long after i started studying philosophy, psychology and astronomy. It seemed like the only thing that could help bring me back to ground level in some way.
I eventually stumbled upon your channel one day and within just the first video i was already feeling hopefull and connected again. Each video has taught me so much. And the way you write, speak and present it, is a pure art form to me. You have even encouraged me to write, and it helps me tremendously.
Because of your mind, i am living a much more meaningful life now. I'm forever greatful. <3

You are a great thinker. And a great communicator. You are blessed.

And so are we.

[unknownghost]

I have thought about many things and many others but I have never found the energy to take them out of my brain. Your perseverance is appreciated.

[Micoolaw]

Following your wonder and curiosity will always lead to your best self. Congrats man, well deserved.

[swealf-nonofficial]

I can tell you that the ideas you share in your videos almost always have an impact on how I see the world. They are the inspiration of some reflective thoughts I had. I trully appreciate your work and every new video is a new journey.
Thanks for that

[zerday]

I honestly wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart, I truly appreciate the content you make. I wasn't into philosophy before, but when I found your channel it completely changed my life. I learned a lot and my life has now a purpose and I'm improving day by day as I'm reading the teaching of buddhism and stoicism.

So Thanks a lot for making this content accessible in very convenient way.

[jacehovey]

I’ve been watching your videos for about three years now and all I have to say is thank you for showing all of us new thoughts and ideas

Thank you and please dont ever stop this amazing content.

[jellevg-xu]

You have no clue how many times I have had tears in my eyes while watching your videos. A feeling I find difficult expressing within my social circle. You’re a beautiful person Robert.

[samanthajayne]

Thank you so so much for pursuing the path that you were so clearly meant to be on. As I a fellow human from Manchester with a mind full of wonder and a yearning to learn . Crossed your path and my pursuit of wonder found yours. I cannot express enough how incredible you are to have the wonders, theories, research, wisdom and care enough to share it in a genius presentation ..I absoloutly love it. Every video hits home with me and I feel at ' soul' level that Iam not alone with my thoughts . That someone has the same thoughts as me and would understand me . Thank you so so so much xx
