This is valid. I am in major consumer debt and only last week did I ask myself the likelihood that I would have bought so much junk in credit were I not addictively online and thus constantly being marketed to in a way that targets my particular weak spots (hobbies, interests, etc.). Social media makes us think everyone else has so much more because it’s effectively a highlight reel. Little do our brains know, those people would buy less if they weren’t internally competing with still others. It’s insane. Just the other day I felt inadequate viewing photos of a friend’s vacation. I was burning with envy. Then I read their post that said that was their first vacation in 8 years and they spent 2 years saving up for it. At that point I realized that I’m being manipulated by the social media phenomenon.

Self-illusion or thinking is like a transparent curtain that adds an extra layer of information to our vision, we see our thoughts but they do not exist in front of us! This is the human ability to see things that do not exist! The problem that occurs in humans is that, when the nervous system contracts, the thinking process automatically begins to think! And because most people have more or less nervous system contractions, they have this extra thought! And in the long run, these thoughts almost become an additional operating system, and it makes its own decisions! If the nervous system relaxes, this process of extra thought will automatically stop and the new human being can see the world as it is without disturbing the mind! After that, it can be understood that creation is predetermined from the beginning to the end day! As consciousness we only understand the life story, and the rest is out of our control!
This is mostly good. I feel like one of the things that needs to be consistently drilled into students in high school is opportunity cost. Once an individual realizes the reality of that idea, their life and decision-making opens up to them.
I find it intriguing that people have so much difficulty to save. For me it's simple: what makes me save and invest as much as I can is the thought that possibly, in some 15 years from now, I'll be able to do whatever I want with my time and still be able to pay my bills.
Oh. Very cool. I actually watched a pod with him and sandeep, it was super informative and I ended up buying two books. One for myself and one to share. I love his ideas on how the brain works and how to make it work for us. Very cool vid.
I love when he says that he is trying to deploy in a couple of minutes 20 years of studying the brain. I think when i see my behaviour is not just my psycology, is also neuroscience and chemical reactions, and digestive system. Today i for example i ate a burger for breakfast with some spicy sauce that make me almost impossible to avoid searching instant gratification during the morning. Why is that? My stomach leading my thinking, my decision making. Other times im fine but honestly my habit is instant gratification like almost all my generation. So i need at least to train it. And change. Other times im nervous and buy a vitamin water with complex b and magnesium and suddendly im relax and patient, my chemical me expressing. So how many factors lead the outcome. Great video i took note the activities he considers key to work on my brain structure to be good on planning at long term. Good work
2:45 this is what i feel when i am aware or ultra focus my brain just focus on this side of my brain and i feel it. And when i have thinking too much outside of what i am doing the focus become at the middle and back side.
The smallest element of this video, I think for me made the biggest impact - I CAN literally save a £1 a day! Thinking too big is off-putting, but tiny manageable chunks is the way to go! ^^
From the book … Mind Power … author … John Kehoe … We might be far more willing to learn how to use our mental mechanisms if we imagined for a moment that for every thought we either gained a dollar or lost a dollar, depending on the type of thought. Considering we think thousands of thoughts every day, this is quite a proposition. Imagine an accounting system noting our every thought and recording which ones gained us money and which ones lost us money. How diligent we would be in controlling and directing our thoughts. How enthusiastically we would create those thoughts which made us money, and how carefully we would avoid those which lost us money.
The truth and the fact of the matter is that tomorrow doesn't exist! It's an imagination about what we think it could be like. In times of uncertainty, we will almost always choose to live in the now! Enjoy life today because tomorrow isn't promised. However, you can get rewards from today that will benefit you in the future that doesn't really cost a lot. It's called exercise, health and emotional well being. In doing so, you save money and improve your quality of life at the same time. 😁
THIS INSTANT is the only answer. You need to learn how to use language. "You cannot be happy over time." - This sentence does not make sense. Happiness is a cookie your brain bakes for itself. This idea that the more you imagine it, you will realize it and the more motivated you will be. Is just pointing to an agency and not actually explaining how the brain works. I could also say: "The more you look at something, the better models your brain will make about it and you will have better predictions about the future of that model".
I would argue that saving money make sense for investments, then the investments will give you the income that you need when you retire. You can start little, if you have a backyard (or your parents have a backyard) you only need around 20 dollars to buy a fruit tree and plant it. If you can save more money you can buy a cheap lot of agricultural land that will probably increase its value over time. Those are simple examples, but there are many possibilities and many ways to save money through investments.
My greatest risk, got me huge money, After watching a motivational video on investment so I do invested in crypto, With the help of expert Mrs Galia Benartzi....
I fucking hate money. You all know at some point in like 10K years we will overcome this and everyone will just have amazing lives. Either that or we're all done for. I don't see an alternate outcome.
When i was a kid i use the weekends after eating empanadas to wash cars, not from uknown people rather from my uncles. And i took the effort several times in compute how much money would i have if i save some of it when i were 30. Was a lot. Sadly i spend it all. Lesson number one save money.
It's more about how the family structure works in a society than individual psychology. It has nothing to do with brain. Depends on how strong family bonds are in a society.
I agree. There really wasn't much useful in this video. It was mainly a bunch of chatter with not much useful tips. The only real concrete thing I got from this video is "saving one dollar a day is better than saving nothing."
@@WoodRabbitTaoist yeah lmao. That definitely is a good tip that a very little amount is better than nothing. But the rest was just a lot of inspirational music with montage
I'm in my 30's and it occurred to me, why should I wait until I'm old before I can retire? Why not live life now like I am retired, why wait until I'm too old to live life? Why waste my life trying to get to retirement when I can live that life now? A bit over a year ago, I did make the decision to retire, I wish I did it earlier.
Retirement means you are no longer working. You cannot "live life now" without making any income unless you have someone else willing to pay for your life.
Plan for retirement as well as medical necessities. Young people think they will never get sick or injured. Even with good insurance that 80/20 will take a bite out of savings.
I'll go out on a limb and surmize, that ppl on a weight loss journey, disciplined workout and eating, would be better at saving? 🤔..fact most ppl don't wanna be honest with themselves. 🤷♂️
Future? Seriously? What future? Biology tells : You have to believe to survive .( whatever can be - whatever = religion, politics, american dream, fidelity of wifes ,immorality , life after death, greener weeds...) On the other hand. Poor block knows something : eat chocolate and buy lottery tickets - isn't a american dream? And a winner is...not You. Maybe one day meet some old man would tell me " all my life I was saving and look around still the same slums " Get it or don't . One said : only two problems about money - too much or too less. I prefer too less, at least I would not to loose contac with reality and start selling recipe of future . look around you , hard to see Future?
wow! So you're saying we can intervene and tune the brain's chemical substances thus change a behaviour or a false perception? You, my friend, have just discovered the psychiatric drugs. Bravo
Big Think is full of videos like this. A lot of circular and cliché talking but not much concrete advice or deep analysis. Overall not very useful. The only thing I got out of this video that was any use to me is "saving one dollar a day is better than saving nothing", but I already knew this concept.
I saved my money but then I got scammed for all my money. Good thing I saved it all tho right?? Police can’t do anything about phone scams so I’m basically back to square 1
Saving money is bad for the economy. Spending means that money goes somewhere, Rich people don't spend most of their money, and that's why the economy is fucked. And trust me, a strong economy will benefit YOU in the long run. Question is if that is enough.
That pampas laugh... you haven't spent 20 years learning about the brain and this video is proof of that. You might have spent like 10 to years of that time sleeping

if you don't save, you will have the time to do what you want NOW and pay your bills, with more energy than 15 years later.

Plan for retirement as well as medical necessities. Young people think they will never get sick or injured. Even with good insurance that 80/20 will take a bite out of savings.
Or move to a country where good health insurance means it covers 100% and is free for all (/paid by everyone equally through a health tax)
So... Get an app to digitally age your face so its easier to imagine yourself as old. Potential to work, but not very likely.
why save when inflation is out pacing saving, i disagree. 2 ¢
