This really hit home. Admittedly, I am not as well versed in Buddhism and Taoism, but after this, I am inclined to become so. Learning to embrace stoicism a bit more and more each day has helped me see the small little victories through out the day. I feel happier in general because of it.

I had no idea that these all had some scientific roots. It just makes them all so much more fascinating.

I feel like the brain is the only organ that understands itself and yet, doesn't at the same time.

Thank you for sharing, Amanda!
Stay Awesome,

“Beware of the fallacy of misplaced concreteness, mistaking an abstraction for concrete reality, for actuality”. I have always been impressed with Alfred North Whitehead and Process Philosophy! \🕶/

As a practicing buddhist, this has been my mantra since beginning HRT and it has had such a freeing effect ✨️ 😌☮️ Now I'm at the point where I am practicing being mindful 🧎‍♀️

Ooohhh a bunch of my fave stuff! Love Stoicism (currently reading Ryan Holiday’s latest Courage is Calling), and Buddhism, and neuroscience!!! 😃

"People with dopamine deficiencies" is another way of saying "people who are not malcontents."

If you can learn to live in and for the moment and truly appreciate it for what it is then you'll find true peace. A peaceful soul is true pleasure

I exercise almost every day because of the neurotransmitter dump and how my body looks is just a nice side effect. =)

“To be happy, you need to suffer, which means to not be happy, but also happy. But you don’t want to be not happy, but not be yes happy. You also want to be no happy but that means you’re not happy. Which would be you want to be happy, but you shouldn’t. So be not happy but happy but you don’t want the happy to unhappy but that m- WHAT THE FU-“ -a wise man

Catholicism also states that but the dopamine pleasure is simply called sin. All great religions somehow touched the very subject ;) Cheers!

Great short! Who is it from? I'd like to check them out :)

I think almost all religions have that in common not just those 3
