What if instead of spending all of our time doom-scrolling on the apps, we were intentional about filling our minds with beautiful writing? How might that change the way we think and operate in the world? I think, it would change things quite a bit!

genuine virtue is psychologically beautiful, it draws minds to it. This is the archetype of the sage.
Hey Professor Moore,
Thanks for your views on beauty, tragedy & our "soul". Your genuine appreciation for literature & Life are a pleasure to listen to & your videos are well done, I think.
While walking through one of our many parks & noticing many hues of green today, I felt the need to thank you for all your invaluable work. May Dame Fortune continue to smile upon you & all those near to you. Good day to you, sir.
This is very kind! Glad you’re taking note of the beauty all around you! 🌳 Thanks for watching.
Dear Prof Moore, I have watched most of your videos but rarely leave a comment. I am really sorry for those omissions as every single video that I have watched has enlightened me to a greater or lesser degree. However, this video has had the most profound effect on me to date. Yes, I was aware that doom-scrolling was not a great idea, but somehow I feel guilty if I don't keep up with the news. Even worse I am not doing anything productive with this knowledge to improve either mine or anybodies else's life! Last night after watching this video instead of my normal routine I went to bed early with an old Agatha Christie novel. It was lovely to relax like this and be in a different world. I realise that you also have suggested some challenging reads, but I wanted to break myself in gently. I have also taken on board what you posited about real growth only coming from challenging oneself, so I am going to start with Mrs Dalloway and build up. Finally, your suggestion regarding checking out the syllabus of a University course is an excellent one. I cannot thank you enough for these video's and the effect that you are making to help people live life better. Thank you.
Meant to say effort.
This is one of the nicest comments I’ve received! Thank you so much for watching the videos. I’m so glad to hear you’ve gotten something out of them. One never knows when making these things whether they have an effect or who exactly is watching them. So it’s always so great to hear that they’re helping people to live a fuller life.
And I love Agatha Christie! I usually read a Hercule Poirot book every summer. I started Cards On The Table several weeks ago but haven’t finished it quite yet. 🙂
I really appreciate you bringing to awareness these books and cultivating a deeper perspective of beauty! I love how you allow even the unpleasant and that which reaches into our soul to be acknowledged as beautiful. Thanks for assisting sir to behold how the majesty of the human heart-mind is the majesty of the universe itself on display.
We really are extraordinary beings! I think the more we remember that the more gratitude we have for each other and for works of human artistry. Thanks for watching!
Please explain why you don't wear the burger king crown for all your videos. SMH
There’s actually specific protocol about when you’re allowed to wear the regalia.
Adding these to the list. Reading Necropolitics on your recommendation. You weren’t lying. It. Is. DENSE. But surprisingly I’m enjoying even though I don’t fully comprehend everything Mbembe is saying. Again love your content Professor!
That’s great to hear! Glad you are enjoying it. That one is maybe not so beautiful, but definitely illuminating. 🙂
your videos are among the best, i feel lucky that a youtube algorithm brought me here. Thank you.
That’s really kind of you, Jay! I’m glad you found your way here too. Are you into books? Philosophy? Literature? What brought you here?
@@GreatBooksProf im just a guy searching for meaning in life, interested in what the great minds have to teach, mostly about moral philosophy...
Well im new here , and i promise i will watch every video of you like a religion hahah. Cause i think this will help me with my anxiety . thx for the subs(im no speak english).
Fun fact, David Adams Richards is now a sitting Canadian Senator for New Brunswick :)
Bravo! What a refreshing message. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
This video was just amazing and exactly what I needed right now. I cannot thank you enough!
Thanks for the info**** note I found some of these on line for free*** be reading those first
As soon as I started this video the first thing I thought of was Mercy Among the Children. Im so glad to see it recommended. I've passed it along to so many others and it has been on my mind again recently. I may have to pick it up to read again.
It was also nice to see Holy Cross again, I miss it a lot.
It's a book that stays with you, isn't it. I'll have to find a chance to teach it again sometime soon.
I wish I had the time to read.
I know. It can be hard to find the time!
I just love listening to you, Sire 🤌🏻💫
