I stumbled into his interview, and since have listened to 5/6 episodes. Very useful tips and they have helped me reevaluate my professional career. I have jotted down a few ideas and have added a few of my own. Thanks for summarizing all the scattered literature into a coherent narrative. I think it may motivate many of us who are looking to organize our path forward as well as evaluate the past. I am on the verge of retirement, and his lectures have been very helpful to chart out a strategy.

My son he's 17 want to join Philippine Military Academy when he's finished in Grade 12. This is great knowledge 👍

Why weren’t you for us in the ‘90’s? We needed you to guide us on a less painful journey.😢

❤🙏 My mom and I did Camino the same year - summer 2019. What a beautiful, inconspicuous experience this is, isn’t it? 😊 Buen Camino! 👋🕊️

Exceptional talk! LOVE THIS!

Dr Brooks, I caught your presentation at the Utah teachers symposium this week (as a volunteer, not a teacher.) Your message resonates with my own life experiences, both successes and failures. Thank you for making these presentations available to those of us who can benefit without ever having the opportunity to visit Harvard. 👍 Stay well, Russ

I chipped away on the camino in 2019! The result was a peace beyond understanding. While this may not be everlasting, it was life changing. To find the moment means for me, i already am surrounded by all that I need. Everything else is just to keep life entertaining.

Love it

In 57 years i have never experienced an event that gave my life meaning.

I believe in this idea but i have an argument. For people who have responsibilties or will have them in the future (of taking care of others) How do they work on wanting less? I guess the answer will be to adapt and realise where one can want less in their own situation

This is a great video and wish more people satisfaction after watching. Thanks, Arthur, for sharing your work. This one struck home for me.

"Wem die Kunst das Leben ist, dessen Leben ist eine große Kunst." Be Bach not Mick! Love that, thank you.

❤😊😊 u r awesome.

How not to want more. I believe that is the entire purpose of the Bible. It started with the description of Adam….what he had…. versus what he wanted. It is worth reading, if you want to attempt to control your life…and you don’t have to go to Harvard to gain this wisdom. It’s free.

H/W=1 Best formula

That's is funny 6:41

How to want less for other people

You will own nothing and be happy is the mantra from the controllers

Too late I'm.single at 40 lol

"Bach pushed me out of music and made me an economist."

Rejoycing over dead bocies in your plates is shameful!!!!! Go vegan and you will know real happiness!!!
