For those who are struggling and feeling depressed, I understand that it isn't easy. It becomes especially challenging to persevere when you don't feel validated, and everyone around you appears to be doing better than you. It's not entirely your fault; you were dealt a bad hand. However, have faith because a bad hand might be a blessing in disguise, you just never know. Never give up.
I am writing this comment to thank you and to give you feedback based on your stated mission that I found online. "I'm Tom Bilyeu , and my goal with this TH-cam channel is to introduce you to the people and ideas that will help you actually execute on your dreams." • Thank you, Tom, for your impact on the world. It is unimaginable that a kid like me, born in a remote part of the world, Africa, Uganda, would get a chance to listen to such wisdom that has a practical implication for my life. • I am very, very, grateful for all the impact you, your wife, and your team at the impact theory are creating in the world. Impact theory is creating unimaginable ripple effects.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor ?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
This episode help me realize that the people around me in the corporate environment try to move me from my sense of inner joy and fulfillment to a place of emptiness while moving up the corporate ladder. I refuse to allow corporate America to dictate what happiness and success look like. Thank you for the conversation❤️
This was amazing! This is the first time I am hearing about Arthur Brooks and I just have to say wow! This entire conversation was so eye opening and gave me a whole new perspective on relationships and love. Thank you Arthur and Tom, you both were amazing! ❤
I would appreciate it deeply if anyone could pray for me I'm very Sick from long time illness please pray for me I'm suffering praying for everyone everyday God bless you all
You can try emotion code body code as well. All these are different modalities but they all work better if u combine them all. Read It didn't start with you book too
Never have l ever listened to a better podcast like this before l feel truly lucky that l discovered your podcast it's been life-changing. Not only has it shifted my mindset , but also showed me the right path to a meaningful and prosperous lifestyle. l can't thank you guys enough for this compelling and invaluable information. ❤❤❤
There are no 'original ideas' to my perception. Most of us are recycling. I doubt CS Lewis was the first to have it, even if he was the first to write it down for you read. @@lpslancelot05
Hi, he mentions a book The way of a Pilgrim and there are so many with different authors. I would appreciate it if you could tell me which one to buy. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Arthur Brooks for not being afraid to talk about your Catholic faith. You are an inspiration to all, to share what you believe in openly and unafraid. God bless you.
Such a good episode from a 58 year old woman 😂. I learn so much, and it keeps me present and not focusing on age but on living my life to the fullest to help others each day.
Around 2:38:44 he talks about “love at first sight” with an adopted child. I absolutely felt that way when I first looked into the eyes of a tiny kitten I picked up and years later later I still intensely love my cat. It’s not the exact same thing as a human child of course but there is self-similarity .
Real friends are NEVER useless to us. They are the ones who will tell you you're messing up, on the wrong road, praise your efforts, praise your success and help you get up when you fall.
I really love your podcasts I GET your values. Love is most important - your relationship with your wife is MORE IMPORTANT than money, power, fame, work, etc etc. My sentiments EXACTLY - your relationship with the person you love is the highest priority.
I'm a 50 year old Grandmother that Loves Impact Theory. I try to pass on every little juicy tid bit I can to my Children and Grandchildren . Thank You for your Amazing content.
Having seen too many people have a wide variety of reactions to the same stimulus, I don’t believe/trust anyone who speaks authoritatively about human emotion or psychology. One thing I like about Mr. Bilyeu is that he frequently tempers his advice with qualifiers that he is speaking from his experience and opinions. I strive to communicate that way.
At 23:00, he's absolutely right and speaking directly to my mind. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you. His mental state reflects on the exterior and that's what I want.
It is absolutely brilliant watching this channel progress and seeing Tom and his wife grow so much. This channel has been one of many factors I've changed the trajectory of my career path and life goals.
Happiness is not a trap! Thinking that all others around you will make you happy is a trap! You have to make yourself happy, because no one else will...
As usual I'm not going to be able to sit and watch 3 hours but this guy nails it straight away. Emotions exist for a reason and happiness is one of many and we should appreciate that and embrace them.
Arthur was able to talk about really polarizing things like religion with an open mind and listen to what may be an opposing view-like Sam Harris. In a world that is ME ME ME he brought home WHY not living from that place is so much more satisfying. I loved this interview! Best guest EVER.
The idea of distinguishing between the "I self" as the observer and the "me self" as the observed resonates deeply. We often get trapped in our own identities and ideologies, but by cultivating a mindset of open observation and non-attachment, we create room for personal growth and the possibility of evolving our beliefs based on new insights. Embracing uncertainty, seeking diverse perspectives, and practicing self-compassion are all valuable reminders in our journey toward a more fulfilling and harmonious existence. Thank you for sharing
Articulated exactly what I am grappling with, searching and finding answers, but am never content because am searching for the answer to the truth-God-Source-Universe there's this unrest in a positive way. Anyway, completely resonates.
One of the best conversations I've heard in a very long time. I must confess though when the word 'sniper' came up, after the 'hunting and fishing' reference, my heart sank. Mr. Brooks is so 'life-affirming' so it came as a shock. As they say, having kids is a crapshoot (No pun intended). Beyond that - I'm at a loss for words - which is probably a good thing.
My girlfriend is probably going to read this since she also watches this channel, but I’m with this guy on recognising the importance of marrying your ‘best friend’ over the the physical aspect which is attraction. Since I was 6 yrs old, this was always important to me - to marry (or at least stay) with a woman who is your best friend rather than a lover. Look, I’m not saying you must settle down with person who’s unattractive. No. Find the attraction, but make sure you’re attracted to this person whom you love more than anything. The passion will follow.
I lived in an Ashrama during the time I was in the Navy in the 80s/90s, when not on duty. Sleeping on a hard board and waking up at 4:30 to chant was preferable to living on a ship and taught me about austerity. I miss those simplistic days.
Who knows A good situation can be something bad And a bad situation can turn into something good Balance of emotions and staying aware with all attention
2:40:21 This section right here is quotable for Finding Meaning in life. Genuine wisdom in this video. Thanks Tom for the excellent content and amazing guests :)
When you said pleasure power and success, I was out...I don't want to spend 2h listening to someone glorifying anything buy peace and contentment..pleasure power success is also a direction
I felt this was one of the best episodes done in a while! So many good gems here...Now after 90 min they are a bit boring and too long lol. I hung on and listened to the entire thing. I laughed so hard when he said "I bet that this show has a lot of guys in their 20s are watching this" shout out to all the women watching this show thats geared towards more so males lol.
Disagree on the politics. I think that is super important. Also, the reason that conservatives don't care as much may mean they are actually more tolerant.
There's nothing wrong with loving things. I love my car and I love the Moon. I love my guitar and I love my belt sander. In fact, there is nothing in this vast universe that can escape my love.
When I was younger I believed that essence came before life, and now it seems obvious that meaning is for us to make up, and ultimately...yes, quite depressing sometimes, though also freeing.
This is why I follow Tom. I really enjoyed the interview with Jay Shetty and Tom. But tom interviews jordan peterson joe disspenza Neuroscientist motivational speakers like melrobbins and Lisa nichols , Meanwhile, j interviews Becky G and the kardashians. Thank you tom for being legit And helping us grow.
In order to really talk to someone you first need to show them: 1) you have their best interest in mind 2) you understand them 3) you want to make their life situation better otherwise whatever you gonna say is just another "Im smarter than you" episode, or a manipulation to reach your own goals at their expense
Great interview, but long.. 👏 So many great questions and discussions in it. Is it possible split the video into partss, reflecting each q&a in separate clip?
Seriously??? Fighting and wounding your partner with angry words is a good way to bond in a long-term relstionship? Here's a suggestion....don't fight. Bite your tongue when emotions rise. Go for a walk and resume the discussion later on, when both people can think, talk, and act calmly, lovingly. Angry words can inflict pain that may take years to repair. Good luck!
You need to learn from Jon and Missy Butcher if you think constant or major fighting is good. You don't even get to that point when you have a relationship like they have. That takes a level of relationship skills most never learn and they teach but they teach how to live a wonderful life in ALL categories. Sadhguru also teaches that as well.
What about people that don't have nor feel the need to have kids? What's the explanation? According to what you said it seems that people like that are some kind of a bug???
I will be honest, i been watching so many videos on the meaning of life to find direction for myself but I am finally realizing my error. The words meaning and life are created concepts by humans. Its like seeking in reality something that is not even real. To say that there is no meaning and to say that there is meaning are both thoughts and simply that. I had a nihilistic view that viewed life as no meaning but to even say that, is saying it something, because no meaning/meaningless is a concept. I was going to say concepts are illusions but to say its an illusions is only changing it to another concept .......... (Proceeds to put hand on forehead in frustration)

I’ve actually been looking into advisors lately, the news I’ve been seeing in the market hasn’t been so encouraging. who’s the person guiding you?
Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I’m 40 now and would love to grow my stock portfolio and plan my retirement.
I'm finding MANY parts of this quite helpful in lifting my mood enough to get a bit un-paralyzed
You get guests that are the very brightest...I think anyway!!
Everyone in the world should watch this video, and rethink what is "me"! Impressive and enlighten people!
What an awesome episode!! Arthur Brooks dares to express truths most academics do not. Thanks IMPACT THEORY.
This episode help me realize that the people around me in the corporate environment try to move me from my sense of inner joy and fulfillment to a place of emptiness while moving up the corporate ladder. I refuse to allow corporate America to dictate what happiness and success look like. Thank you for the conversation❤️

I LOVE the theory that desiring something is evidence that it exists. Great food for thought. Great conversation! Thank you both.
This is not his original idea. It’s actually from CS Lewis.
I didn’t appreciate it that he didn’t mention this.
There are no 'original ideas' to my perception. Most of us are recycling. I doubt CS Lewis was the first to have it, even if he was the first to write it down for you read. @@lpslancelot05

Thanks for the support!

Only 5 min in and yes I agree 100% and have observed the same. I wish I knew more people who think this way and can articulate it.
Real friends are NEVER useless to us. They are the ones who will tell you you're messing up, on the wrong road, praise your efforts, praise your success and help you get up when you fall.
I really love your podcasts I GET your values. Love is most important - your relationship with your wife is MORE IMPORTANT than money, power, fame, work, etc etc.

BEST CONVO EVER!!! ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE,,,,, ALL WE WANT IS LOVE
Happiness is not a trap! Thinking that all others around you will make you happy is a trap! You have to make yourself happy, because no one else will...
This is also true 👍🏾
Maybe try to understand what he is actually saying. Because he is saying the same thing as you
For some reason I was skeptical about this episode, but I gained so much after listening to it. Thank you both for sharing this information
We're stoked you gained a lot after listening to the conversation!
What was your biggest take away?

Never underestimate the power of prayer one small prayer can change your life praise God praying for Everyone Everyday God bless you all
yeah, self-delusion is very powerful
Being gratefull for everything you got instead of what you want is happiness to me.
🙀 This guy is mind blowing. I would have to listen 5 times to get all of this, but interesting.

That distinction between pleasure and enjoyment is super smart

Happiness is not a trap. It's an art form. The art of happiness can be mastered. A lot of it is a matter of self awareness and balance.
This is the 3rd time I am listening to this podcast. Very informative.
Everyone needs to share this!!!
WOW!!! COMLICATED vs COMPLEX - explanaiton of the difference between these terms - Deterministic vs Randomness - That was the Eureka Moment!
Happiness is an active choice. - Matthew 5:3
Thank you.
I always impressed with your gusts Tom,Thanks Bro for you're immense contributions to change our Life🙏🙏Gracie Mille 🙏🙏
Best guest! I was very impacted will put some actions to my daily protocol!! Thank you
Happiness is not that hard to understand. It's just a byproduct of gratitude. If you're pursuing Happiness you're on the wrong path. Progress is key.
Tom has really grown and continues to grow
So "The pursuit of happiness " is the right saying
"Nothing is either Good or Bad, Thinking makes it so."
Who knows
A good situation can be something bad
And a bad situation can turn into something good
Balance of emotions and staying aware with all attention
Please for the love of all things, start putting chapters in

This guy manages to say something that I completely agree with and disagree with in every sentence 😅
Tom, your follow-ups are the cherry on top! 🍒🎧 #CherryOnTop #SpotOnQuestions

Depends on whether their specific policy difference violates your values.
If it’s something like prison reform, than carry on.

Thank you so much Tom for sharing this interesting conversation ❤
The best one I've watched here
In order to really talk to someone you first need to show them:
1) you have their best interest in mind
2) you understand them
3) you want to make their life situation better
otherwise whatever you gonna say is just another "Im smarter than you" episode, or a manipulation to reach your own goals at their expense
Thank you for this awesome conversation! I really enjoyed listening you guys and I am glad that you touched philosophy and life meaning👏.
Mother Nature tells me to love others and save our planet
Good luck saving nature! Let me guess, you are using precious metals in your smart device to write this.
Exactly
Yes, and Unhappy life is hell.
Outstanding conversation !!
Wow, enjoyed this so much, thanks Tom
Great interview, but long.. 👏 So many great questions and discussions in it. Is it possible split the video into partss, reflecting each q&a in separate clip?
Thanks for sharing. First one here... More prosperity to you.
Wow what a great episode
may you be the honey and happiness be the bee, let it come to you, not you to it.
Seriously??? Fighting and wounding your partner with angry words is a good way to bond in a long-term relstionship? Here's a suggestion....don't fight. Bite your tongue when emotions rise. Go for a walk and resume the discussion later on, when both people can think, talk, and act calmly, lovingly. Angry words can inflict pain that may take years to repair. Good luck!
no, happiness is a self made gift you must take care of constantly and focus on what matters to you is how to do it
also, I didn't watch the video prior to making this comment
❤❤❤❤
Congratulations good job
Holy shit these guys are opening the black box of life...genius!
High Level Conversations 💯 👌🏾 😎 ✨️
You need to learn from Jon and Missy Butcher if you think constant or major fighting is good. You don't even get to that point when you have a relationship like they have. That takes a level of relationship skills most never learn and they teach but they teach how to live a wonderful life in ALL categories. Sadhguru also teaches that as well.
What about people that don't have nor feel the need to have kids? What's the explanation? According to what you said it seems that people like that are some kind of a bug???
I will be honest, i been watching so many videos on the meaning of life to find direction for myself but I am finally realizing my error. The words meaning and life are created concepts by humans. Its like seeking in reality something that is not even real. To say that there is no meaning and to say that there is meaning are both thoughts and simply that. I had a nihilistic view that viewed life as no meaning but to even say that, is saying it something, because no meaning/meaningless is a concept. I was going to say concepts are illusions but to say its an illusions is only changing it to another concept .......... (Proceeds to put hand on forehead in frustration)
I believe the way he explains the “ me me me part “ come from his Christian view
