Mo gives hope, strength, wisdom and a different outlook/ mindset at life challenges to people who are suffering or lost. Through his experience it’s so powerful. His teaching touches something deep in you. He and Ali are gifts to humanity. My deepest gratitude to Mo
It’s really a joy listening to Mo and his wisdom. I’ve just came accross him a couple of days ago and i keep listening different interviews with him. However, i do not agree with his statements about happiness in different countries. And I’m only saying this because i heard him repeat this in several interviews. With nordic countries he keep s forgetting that those are countries that have darkness for most of the days of winter and a big chunk of the year and not seeing the sunlight really affects people and the suicide rate. I think that’s something you can’t ignore when you talk about happiness- I don’t live in one of those countries and while I like winter just as much as summer, I see big difference in my mood and general feeling if it’s a sunny or a dull dark day. And generalizing that Latin America is more happy even though they have nothing or less .. I’ve been there, I lived there… people are not more happy. They might appear like that to the outsider but from my experience that’s just a generalization that doesn’t hold water. I do agree people with less can be more happy than people with more, but not because they have less/more but because they appreciate what they already have and they feel that what they strive for to have more of is achievable in time or with some effort. The gap between what they have and what they want to have is not as big to be discouraged about it. And you can achieve that in every country with whatever income you have…
I have just started to follow Mo on podcast after watching Tony Robbins ,with Mo . I find all you say Mo relates so well with all i have gone through in my life. The pathway for me is so much better since i started to like & love myself & tell the voice in my head to be quiet. 😊
Frank and mentally grounding. It is too easy to get swept up in problems and frustrations, looking at the future we should have through rose tinted spectacles and forgetting what a luxury it is to be in this world right now. To love and be loved by someone. To help and be helped by someone. To have some time in a day to experience trees and grass and sky. Thank you for reminding us
Neuroscience has shown that the brain reacts to positive statements like teflon and negative statements like velcro. When we understand that physical fact, then we can choose, literally, to pay more attention to positive thoughts about ourselves and LESS attention to the negative ones. It's been proven that the brain can be re-wired when we make the effort. Meditation is one tool that supports that, too. Thanks for this conversation!
I just read the SOlve for Happy by MO, and I think it should be a mendnatory for every person, ha,ha,ha that how good it was. I love teachings which can reach out to everyone, not some sophisticated lectures others do. This is such a great book, Highly recommend!
Gawdat shares a number of exercises that we can do to help us retrain our brains. These exercises include: Practicing gratitude: When we focus on the things we are grateful for, it helps to shift our perspective and focus on the positive. Forgiveness: Holding onto resentment and anger can weigh us down and make us unhappy. Forgiveness helps us to let go of these negative emotions and move on with our lives. Being kind to ourselves: We often treat ourselves more harshly than we would treat others. By being kind to ourselves, we can start to heal the negative self-talk that we have been conditioned to believe. Practicing mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. When we are mindful, we are more likely to notice our negative thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. Gawdat also shares a number of ideas for how we can create more happiness in our lives. These include: Being generous: When we are generous to others, it makes us feel good about ourselves and helps to connect us with others. Empathizing with others: When we empathize with others, we see the world from their perspective and it helps us to be more compassionate. Living in the present moment: When we live in the present moment, we are less likely to be weighed down by the past or the future. Finding meaning in life: When we have a sense of purpose and meaning in life, it gives us a reason to get up in the morning. Gawdat's message is that we can all create more happiness in our lives by understanding how our brains work and by taking steps to retrain them. By practicing gratitude, forgiveness, kindness, mindfulness, generosity, empathy, and living in the present moment, we can all create a more happy and fulfilling life.
Positive Thinking by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and Doing What Matters Doing what Works by Dr Phil McGraw teach the same messages. However, it's refreshing to hear it from a new author. 14:25
It was a such beautiful moment. A lot of wise thoughts and reflection to go through every day. It’s was a blessing to be able to watch this session. thank you. Francesco from Italy
Thanks for the inspiring insights. Some of the eperiences of Mo are very familiar to me... Thanks for sharing also the more personal losses. It is also inspiring to consider how people outside the Western World manage to be happier with a simple life. That has always been impressing and interesting for me when travelling in poorer countries. Unhappiness from unfulfilled expectations is also very common.
Kia Ora, I would have enjoyed this podcast more, if the interviewer didn’t interrupt Mo so much or cut him off as he’s still sharing! Ngā Mihi 🙏🏽 35:20
To Chiara (spelling?) who was mentioned near the end of this interview, I wanted to say it may be of benefit to you to look up Vidyamala Burch and especially watch her interview with Action for Happiness, I think you might find some strength in it.
Ok, lost me around 50 minutes in saying Finland, etc are happier because the government provides their basic needs. So does U.S. - even more so to non-residents - at the expense of others. And if Latin Americans are so happy there with nothing, why are they coming to America?? Sorry, does not compute.
