Hey Nat, I hope you see this.
First of all, thank you for introducing this work to us. I love the way you take the time to read out the excerpts to us and then give your own interpretation of them when needed.
I am from India and currently studying Western Philosophy. These in-depth videos inspire me to immerse myself completely into the subject and learn as much as possible. And I can't be more grateful to you for that.
I am looking forward to this channel hitting the growth spurt it so thoroughly deserves. Keep up the good work.❤
Hey Vagish thank you so much, you just made my day. I hope you’re enjoying exploring this topic as much as I am 😄
happy to see the channel growing steadily, Nat! Keep on keepin' on!
Thank you Quinton!
And that is exactly why I indulge in the blessed and crested act of smoking cigarettes. Watching the smoke sensually curl its way up to Heaven is Pure Zen.
Thank you!
Dude I am so happy I came across you TH-cam channel. Your passion for reading and philosophy shines through! Subscribed!
Thank you so much, and welcome!
Bravo, excellent. This channel is one of the most brilliant I've ever come across on YT. Your style is impressive, keep it up and don't pay attention to nasty comments. Your video on Pressfield's book saved my day as well.
I can’t believe I just discovered Becker’s work. Thank you for the breakdown for this is brilliant!

Thank you brother ❤
keep it up ! Love your book choices ! listened to many more than once !
Glad you like them! And I will :D
Woah beautiful! Anyone who can find joy listening to this is one step closer than most to happiness 😁 and Nat, congratulations on building a life that looks to be very fulfilling. It serves as a model to show that it’s possible 😅..
Me encantó. Gracias.
I enjoyed your presentation. I thank you very much for your effort. If I may suggest, when you read a passage, please slow down and attempt an interpretation that mimics natural language. Too often when people read aloud, they read too quickly with unnatural rhythms and awkward grammatical expression. Just a suggestion...
This knowledge is super valuable, and you conveyed it wonderfully. Thank you.
The length of the video seems to reflect one who is obviously seeking heroism. Someone who can “explain” Becker - and life - to us small-minded lesser folk. Do you underestimate the brain power of others? Maybe there aren’t just two worlds? Maybe being of service to others in simple ways is a noble pursuit? Anyway. Thank you Superman. : )
You’ve got great potential. And as you are teaching, do you think it’s okay to take a breath and pause? And perhaps integrate the Socratic method a bit to keep the audience from drifting? Add some humor? Best wishes to you. (PPS -Becker’s book makes a cameo in Annie Hall).
Wow 🙌🏼
Hey Nat , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your long & short videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
shoot me an email, nateliason at gmail. I don't need an editor for the videos but I'd be open to thumbnail help!
Hey, do u still don't use shampoo ?
Yup! Still no shampoo
@@nateliason any other thing you do instead. To keep hair healthy
