My advice - I’m a very happy 58yr old who will retire soon: 1. Build a balanced life career + friends + hobbies + sports + interests + family + children + marriage 2. Appreciate the free things nature has given us - sea, woods, trails, wildlife, air, rain, wind, body, senses, colours, 3. Save for rainy days/retirement 4. Stay fit & in shape, 5. Always leave toxic work environments/people

I would say same, this is a great review on happiness! So glad i clicked and watched. I relate to this because someone wanted to borrow money from me and I worried and contemplated for few nights coz its just so dear, and today God said I should be using every bit of opportunity to do charity and love, and so I said yes even if I’m uncertain. I have saved the money and it’s just in the bank, but that moment where the receiver just felt so relieved and thankful that I could be an instrument for them to alleviate their frustration and problems made me realize that I am lucky in so many ways and that made me happy, that moment you mentioned that the act of giving (time or resource) is a key to happiness - it’s weird but it works. Gave me a sense of purpose for a moment. Sorry for this litany and I could go on and on. Lol. But Thank you for caring about happiness and creating this content! 😊

@adapienkowska2605 7 месяцев назад

Most people who you hear in media are rather rich. So for them, it doesn't buy happiness, as they have too much of it. IMHO one of the reasons why extremely rich are prone to suicide is the fact they don't have to interact with other people the normal way and create social connections as they can buy almost all they want. When I need the bus driver to stop for me somewhere he doesn't have to, I have to be nice to him and so on. People are social animals.

@umarahabid1102 Год назад

This was such a good video with real practical advice as well as the more philosophical side of things. As a Muslim, charity is a huge part of my faith. In Islam, if you can't afford to give money away you're encouraged to view looking after your family as charity e.g feeding your loved ones. Even smiling at another person is classed as an act of charity. It doesn't cost anything to be kind!

@DamienTalksMoney Год назад

Few years ago I had a horrible accident and spent a lot of time in the hospital. The only thing that helped me not to sink into a big black hole of misery was my loved ones and photos on my phone from all the wonderful times and experiences I had over the years. I’m glad I was always interested in this topic and really researched things like happiness, old age regrets etc very early in life. I think it really helped me not to put my attention in the wrong places. Became minimalist in my early 20, prioritized giving and making memories.

@QoraxAudio 7 месяцев назад

Yes, I think money can buy happiness, because more money reduces the financial stress, improves the living standards and access to better healthcare. I remember all too well when I was a student, I had a tooth that grew sideways and started to rot, but I had no money to get it removed. For over a year I was dealing with the constant pain of that tooth slowly rotting away. I didn't sleep well and got underweight by losing over 20 pounds because eating was painful. When I finally had the money to get it out, it was such a relief; even when I think of it now, I remember how nice that was. Finally almost no pain and being able to sleep much better. However, while that was about 10 years ago, I still have pain in the jaw from time to time, because a nerve was permanently damaged as well. I definitely learned a lot of it, most importantly that money actually does buy happiness and that people don't give a crap about suffering of others.

As a Christian that doesn't come as a surprise. In our local congregation we help each other - sometimes just buying food for each other if someone is in a rough spot. Seeing the difference in that persons day makes all the difference. Giving makes happier than receiving. And if we do, it's likely going to be reciprocated when you yourself are struggling.

It's worth noting, in a time when giving money may feel challenging for many, that giving time can be every bit as rewarding. I started volunteering at a repair cafe and it's been so satisfying, I've met wonderful people who have become friends and the sense of joy I feel when we fix a visitors treasured item is lasting and satisfying. Use your skills to help others and be kind, I promise you will be rewarded for it.

@JW20236 Год назад

@AlisonWonderland999 Год назад

I tend to realise in retrospect that I've been happy, but am often too wrapped up in things to notice at the time. Having a strong sense of purpose seems to be a key element.

@withwilk7473 8 месяцев назад

In terms of consumerism though, I buy things through the lense of "is it useful, will it help me" so I might spend £500 on headphones, or £200 on hiking boots, but its not out of impulse, and they serve a person. Mindless consumerism to keep up with the Jones' is what you want to avoid. Consuming quality products that add value to your life is a useful endeavour, and also a byproducts of a consumerist society, we can't demonise everything.

@levifoster2992 8 месяцев назад

I've always gotten crap for focusing so much on the past, but where I am now I feel like my tendency to think about my past every single day is a blessing to my happiness. I have PTSD, and get stuck thinking about the traumas of my past and how horrific and miserable it was. But when I come back to reality, I look at my big house and my happy relationship and my disability support and how hard I've worked and how far I've come to build this peaceful life for myself after growing up miserable, and every day my appreciation for what I have is refreshed. I grew up impoverished and am now middle class, and that increase in income drastically improved my happiness, but since I'm often comparing it to where I started it doesn't really get old.

@nah88 Год назад

I think the biggest problem right now, is people are either struggling to pay a mortgage and bills, or cant save enough to keep up with rising house prices, to just have a place to live. I'd love to spend my money on other things, but that option just isnt available to most anymore. I have a deposit bigger than what my parents 3 bed home cost 30 years ago, yet I cant afford a small freehold with a maxed mortgage. I have more money now than ever, and can afford to do/have less.

Now while my grass is 90% moss it's my moss and I cut it lol. Looking at what you have changes how you look at want you want,do you really need it. We have down scaled our wants and of course this saves you money so it's a win win..... Thanks again and enjoy your journey too....

@talete7712 7 месяцев назад

@@Yannerson I can't help but think that this such a sad way to view this. If you donate to charity with the sole intention of gaining something out of it, then of course it becomes just another line in a spreadsheet. You should donate to a cause you believe in and to make the world a better place, and sincerely believe that the world can become a better place if each person does something to improve it. You shouldn't donate to charity to be happy, it should be a secondary side effect. You should donate do charity because you sincerely want to do it, not to gain something out of it

@afterastrum 8 месяцев назад

i think another thing beyond experiences are hobbies, especially ones where you create things e.g music, woodworking, project car. a lot of jobs nowadays place you so far removed from seeing your work bring something to fruition (the most anyone sees are meaningless numbers go up), and that removes any kind of fulfilment from that. whittling down a stick into a knife is something where you see the direct result of your hard work, making the act of creating it a lot more fulfilling. you can also see yourself building on the skill; maybe a year or 2 later you can carve out a whole chest- these are things that are tangible to you, not the profits seen on a spreadsheet of a company you care little for

When I had my first job I splashed out on new tech, new phones etc that was a total waste. I can’t go back in time but what I try and do now is think of money as not to be exchanged for things you want unless you really need a new device like a laptop for work and is absolutely needed. Instead I try and love more a frugal life style and try and use my money to make more money in higher rate interest accounts or invest in stocks like ETFs or invest the money into my own creative business pursuits like making my own films and doing marketing campaigns. I don’t have fancy clothes and new tech anymore but I do feel the mindset is helping me see what is necessary and getting more value out of what I currently have. I buy all my clothes second hand now and have so many that are practically unworn and given away. A lot of wasteful mindset

@pukster88 Год назад

Hey Damien, love you channel. Doctor here, I remember doing some training on drugs and alcohol addiction some years back. My take home learning was that it takes 3 months for dopamine receptors in your brains to desensitise to an addiction, after that further time is required to recover and stay away. The first 3 months are therefore the hardest. Taking reels and short videos as an example on Instagram, they work by giving you 3-5 second dopamine hits, you keep scrolling and keep getting those hits. I think there's a lot of these dopamine hits that provide "fake" happiness in our daily lives. Therefore, other more important things like spending time with you family become sadly mundane and less enjoyable. This can be applied to spending , the new or better version of something you already have for example. It's a good foundation of to have, you know if you can stay away from something for 3 months (something that in the long term has negative impact) you've done incredibly well on your road to recovery - or put another way - you are buying into cheap short lived dopamine hits that take you away from what's more important in life. Keep up the good work.

You smashed it with this video Damo. I can’t imagine the hours of research and work that went it to this, but it’s worth it. I specifically loved the hedonic adaptation depiction of a couple weeks at an all inclusive in JA loool

On a related note, i listened to your first podcast, i loved it. Your guest was very down to earth, had no airs and graces, which was perfect for me. Also she didnt mind the odd expletive :)

Amazing video. Really well made, very interesting. So much to take in and think about. You've really made me consider that perhaps I need to stop worrying too much about achieving certain financial goals and actually use my money to bring more variety to life as well.
