Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
Time and time again I come back to this. Every year that I listen to it, I understand it better. One of the greatest recorded 30 mins contents on the internet.
I love you for the extraordinary, generous nature of your philosophy. I can’t even begin to express the profound impact that your shared wisdom has had on me over the past few years. It truly means the world to me and I can’t thank you enough. There’s no one I look up to more. Also thank you soo sooo muchhhh for introducing me to Anthony de Mello! Pure profundity!
"Peace is happiness at rest; happiness is peace in motion" I like to think of this like: 1. Peace is happiness at rest = Calm Lake (tranquil without external stimuli) 2. Happiness is peace in motion = Flowing river (the same calm lake now flowing as a river bringing life and energy wherever it goes)
All of what you are saying has happened to me, when I stopped smoking weed, drinking I lost a lot of friends. Less people viewed me as fun(girls dudes) it’s similar to losing a job or not having money, you lose but at the same time I gained peace of mind, people can’t understand why I’m less angry less paranoid less inner struggle. 🙂
But then again, you still can't renounce everything, so everyone will have desires and needs, even though we realize that it puts us in the vulnerable position, we can't eliminate it.
The idea of how you become more silent when you get closer to the truth is very true for me. It's like something I always say... the deepest realities of this earth are very painful.
The same truth the sages over the ages had tried to inculcate in us albeit in different language ! Happiness lies within us. The more we depend on the outer world for happiness the unhappier we emerge! Thanks ,Sir, for such wonderful discourse ! Let all try to master this skill to be blissful eternally !
The ego isn't dissolved or removed somehow, you just cease to identify with it. You see that the belief in a separate self was just an illusion. And without self there is no "other", and that's the realisation of non-duality.
“Every time I meet a prostitute, she wants to talk about God and every time I meet a priest, he wants to talk about sex." ~ Osho “Whatever it is that you deny yourself will become your new prison." ~ Naval
@@jazzyj2899 He wants to become the sage of capitalism. If you go on Twitter and say something that disagrees with him, he will block you. He’s not as wise as he wants you to think. That’s why the beginning of this video talks about not holding him accountable for the words, but for the feeling behind them.
@@CyanCooper what does he gain from being that sage? I thought he was just sharing his knowledge. i think he admits once in this interview that he has his fault of wanting fame, therefore is no enlightened being himself.
Naval, Lot of what you said is in correlation with J.Krishnamurti's words. He is all about Brain and how each brain sees the world and get influenced. I love this.Thanks.
Very true, a lot of people avoid these universal questions. When I keep asking questions and 🔦 searching, throwing spotlights. Very good podcast (lots and lots of wisdom)
Hey Naval, thank for posting this. It gets a little tougher to begin with, in the pursuit to understand/find happiness and stay happy, alongside pursuing a startup dream. This comes at the right time. Keep them coming. Thanks Naval, once again.
I want to take a moment to thank you for the amazing work you are doing... Taking a fair amount of time to create such good content and educate people. Mostly, I use your podcasts to attend to my anxieties. I have to admit that it helped me a lot.... Big fan of your work brother❤
“The pursuit of pleasure leads to addiction in a time of abundance” Very easy for us to be pleasureful today - drugs, porn, social media, video games, etc. When you consistently use those things, and see the high they bring, it shows you the misery of the everyday world around you If you ask people who drink a lot what events they look forward to the most it’s probably events when they can drink If they go to the event and don’t drink, they’ll probably hate it/the convo/ the people/ etc. Breaking the addiction forces you to break the cycle and face the root problem. In that case, you’re drinking because you need better friends Breaking this cycle is hard because it’s socially unacceptable, and you might need to form new friends, habits, etc,
Dear Naval, thank you so much for your podcast. It has made a tremendous & positive impact on my life since I first discovered you via JRE. I ❤ your video on "Happiness." Please continue to talk more on the "Meaning of Life." God bless you! Your knowledge and wisdom is priceless & always appreciated! 🙏👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻❤🧠👌🏻
Read tiny habits and hooked. Those two books are written by BEHAVIOR DESIGN architects from Stanford who basically train the entire Silicon Valley ecosystem
💪💛😁 Save yourself *28 Years* of stumbling just by listening to these *28 Minutes !* 1. Get Wealthy - income comes in to cover all expenses while your sleeping ... next 2. Get Physically Healthy ... next 3. Get Peace from Mind trust me, this sequence is correct. I was doing the reverse order & now i am following naval's sequence I can see now that my previous life was in denial of #1 by doing that I was less powerful I want & need to be as powerful as I can be 😆
He simply has read a lot and seen and experienced a lot and is very thoughtful about his life. Anyone can do it if they are aware enough..His wisdom is a mix of many different ancient philosophers adapted to the modern world and in his own voice..
Hi Naval, This is the first podcast of yours I have watched fully, incredible insights. I'd love to have a conversation with you one day. Thank you for sharing
Happiness is control and peace. Suffering is no control and desire. Health is more important than Wealth. Wealth is financial freedom and passive income. Meditation helps you control your anger and sadness then you become calm to think with focus.
After going through a ton of self-help stuff, including this, I think I've realized that I'm already happy and at peace. Now I'm going to go through an addiction, overcome it, and then brag about it, lol.
@@sp123 Got addicted to black tar. It tore my life, family and finances apart. It took me 8 long months to finally get clean but I did it. Before I got addicted my IQ was at around 105, while I was hooked I was at 98 or so, and afterwards my IQ shot up to 140. I just said this as a joke but it actually works. I'm going to try something else to see if it works several times.
Free Yourself from it by doing it. Physical Health. Don't fixate on one defination. Happiness 1. In your control than physical potential 2. Much more malleable 3. Its a skill, slowly will give results, can be 4. Desire is a controact to be miserable untill you get it. Delusion. 5. Procees of understanding, self discovery
In modern age the quality of decision making, matters... Increase in effectiveness is what matters... Stress is always under your control The goal isn't happiness the goal is peace. You can't work towards peace. You can understand it...
Just WoW man! You answered questions for me i didn't had in the first place. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us. And i promise i will do the same in the future.
What about: Happiness is a state of being that express itself when everything in your life is in order. As, The only idea of wanting or pursue of Happiness is a losing game to play.
These ideas and this presentation is something I've been looking for. This is truly amazing! I think I'm going to type/write the transcript to kinda absorb more here.
In physics stress is when something wants to be in 2 places at the same time Personally is when you’re conflicted on desires (I want to work but i’m tired) Peace is happiness at rest, happiness is peace in motion You can’t work towards peace, but you can work towards understanding The name of God is truth When you learn certain things and understand them you become more peaceful The closer you are to the truth, the more silent you become inside Groups search for consensus, individuals search for truth Group is an average, individuals are data points, don’t match Guilt is societies voice speaking in your head When you understand things self-improvement is inevitable Eg. When your best friend is diagnosed with lung cancer, you suddenly understand severity of smoking, and will easily quit smoking
You can get health, wealth and happiness same time.. if you understand that you will be happy because you will find harmony in your life. But life without believing is lifeless..

@@amitj10 I get satisfied from working as little as possible
@@amitj10 writing youtube comments
@@amitj10 Idts. Happiness is being at peace even if you're not satisfied with the outcome.
Thank u
Well said
Time and time again I come back to this. Every year that I listen to it, I understand it better. One of the greatest recorded 30 mins contents on the internet.
I dont know why this man dont have 300 milion subs, but anyway im glad i found this ( amazing stuff)
I don't even know how many times I have listened to this thing but I still hear something new and wonderfu. This is amazing
Yeah
I love you for the extraordinary, generous nature of your philosophy. I can’t even begin to express the profound impact that your shared wisdom has had on me over the past few years. It truly means the world to me and I can’t thank you enough. There’s no one I look up to more.
Also thank you soo sooo muchhhh for introducing me to Anthony de Mello!
Pure profundity!
He has an amazing way of simplifying complex philosophical topics. His analogies are brilliant.
I agree, Its deep and easy to understand.
When we discover Naval first, we recommend it to everyone, when we understand his wisdom better, we stop doing that.
"Peace is happiness at rest; happiness is peace in motion"
I like to think of this like:
1. Peace is happiness at rest = Calm Lake (tranquil without external stimuli)
2. Happiness is peace in motion = Flowing river (the same calm lake now flowing as a river bringing life and energy wherever it goes)

Less people viewed me as fun(girls dudes) it’s similar to losing a job or not having money, you lose but at the same time I gained peace of mind, people can’t understand why I’m less angry less paranoid less inner struggle. 🙂
These podcasts are fundamentally changing my life. Thank you.
"your'e unhappy because you're too smart, but if you're so smart why aren't you happy?" I will hold on to that one ty
Did you find the answer ?
Coming back to this after 20 or more listens over the years. Always find new value
Peace is happiness at rest. Happiness is peace in motion.
"Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want."
obviouslyy
But then again, you still can't renounce everything, so everyone will have desires and needs, even though we realize that it puts us in the vulnerable position, we can't eliminate it.
@@AdilMaidanov I think that was the point Naval was making
The idea of how you become more silent when you get closer to the truth is very true for me.
It's like something I always say...
the deepest realities of this earth are very painful.
I felt compelled to slowdown the playback such that I grasp every detail.
And then I watched it again.
Listening to this alone has made me peaceful
"Desire is a contract you make with yourself to to be unhappy until you get what you want."

धन्यवाद !
The same truth the sages over the ages had tried to inculcate in us albeit in different language ! Happiness lies within us. The more we depend on the outer world for happiness the unhappier we emerge! Thanks ,Sir, for such wonderful discourse ! Let all try to master this skill to be blissful eternally !
The key to truth is disolve your ego. That is why Spirituality is the science to theorically and practically disolver your ego.
Sufism
Everything in its place ..
The ego isn't dissolved or removed somehow, you just cease to identify with it. You see that the belief in a separate self was just an illusion. And without self there is no "other", and that's the realisation of non-duality.
“Every time I meet a prostitute, she wants to talk about God and every time I meet a priest, he wants to talk about sex." ~ Osho
“Whatever it is that you deny yourself will become your new prison." ~ Naval
This isn't true. It's an agenda parading as wisdom.
@@CyanCooper what do you think is the agenda?
@@jazzyj2899 He wants to become the sage of capitalism. If you go on Twitter and say something that disagrees with him, he will block you. He’s not as wise as he wants you to think.

I wonder what does he means with this

Very true, a lot of people avoid these universal questions. When I keep asking questions and 🔦 searching, throwing spotlights. Very good podcast (lots and lots of wisdom)
This flashed while I was checking e mails and immediately came over~I need this positivity today! Thank You! Blessings!
Every single minute is full of wisdom.
Hey Naval, thank for posting this.
It gets a little tougher to begin with, in the pursuit to understand/find happiness and stay happy, alongside pursuing a startup dream.
This comes at the right time.
Keep them coming.
Thanks Naval, once again.
Jesus loves you ❤
Each sentence you speak gives a thousand things to think about!
I want to take a moment to thank you for the amazing work you are doing... Taking a fair amount of time to create such good content and educate people.
Mostly, I use your podcasts to attend to my anxieties. I have to admit that it helped me a lot.... Big fan of your work brother❤
It's in the remembrance of God, the creator of our soul that we can get PEACE
Thank you Naval.Just recently I read your book 'The Almanack'
Sure we can contemplate these things. Very useful. Useful as well to meditate and do self-inquiry.
You make me feel so humbled. Love from Northeast India.
This is more than pure gold...
We say peace of mind, but what we really want is peace from mind - Naval Ravikant
Naval is our generation's Buddha, He is awake.
I agree. I was thinking this as well, especially when he brought up OSHO. He was also ahead of his time.
Imagine learning this as a kid. Goldmine of knowledge. Very greatfull 🤗
“The pursuit of pleasure leads to addiction in a time of abundance”
Very easy for us to be pleasureful today - drugs, porn, social media, video games, etc.
When you consistently use those things, and see the high they bring, it shows you the misery of the everyday world around you
If you ask people who drink a lot what events they look forward to the most it’s probably events when they can drink
If they go to the event and don’t drink, they’ll probably hate it/the convo/ the people/ etc.
Breaking the addiction forces you to break the cycle and face the root problem. In that case, you’re drinking because you need better friends
Breaking this cycle is hard because it’s socially unacceptable, and you might need to form new friends, habits, etc,

This podcast speaks to me. Every word of it. These are pure gold Naval..
The truth will set you free
This podcast is full of GEMS🙌🏾 Thank you so much
Naval knows what he is saying.
The thing about addiction just blown my mind from now onwards I will try to understand the addiction.
That part hit me pretty hard as well. Have to reflect on a few bad habits
Timing
Read tiny habits and hooked. Those two books are written by BEHAVIOR DESIGN architects from Stanford who basically train the entire Silicon Valley ecosystem
Bonus points to read shoshana zuboff and jaron lanier’s reasons why
Thank you so much Naval
💪💛😁 Save yourself *28 Years* of stumbling just by listening to these *28 Minutes !*
1. Get Wealthy - income comes in to cover
all expenses while your sleeping ... next
2. Get Physically Healthy ... next
3. Get Peace from Mind
trust me, this sequence is correct. I was doing the reverse order & now i am following naval's sequence
I can see now that my previous life was in denial of #1
by doing that I was less powerful
I want & need to be as powerful as I can be 😆
Same with me, I was also following the reverse sequence atleast for the past year and now I need to cover up.
This man is a genius.
Great talk
Your are the monk in jeans who lives in silicon valley 😂😂
😂😂exactly
“Bear on a unicycle”
The Peace.....being free from everything...... if just for one moment.
Top notch,eye opening and thoughtful content Naval. Multiple perspectives give clarity. Your best video. Happy to listen repeatedly.
happiness is having good friends and and a good partner.
Truth brings about peace
No words for Naval. How he could know these stuff! He is super genius. He is monk.
He simply has read a lot and seen and experienced a lot and is very thoughtful about his life. Anyone can do it if they are aware enough..His wisdom is a mix of many different ancient philosophers adapted to the modern world and in his own voice..
@@ginamok8373 Absolutely!
The path to peace is truth
i found this channel and found the real purpose of my life :) thank you so much Naval !!
The path to peace is truth ❤
Nicely said...Vedic wisdom ❤
Hi Naval,
This is the first podcast of yours I have watched fully, incredible insights. I'd love to have a conversation with you one day. Thank you for sharing
For that get out of PupG first
Happiness is control and peace.
Suffering is no control and desire.
Health is more important than Wealth.
Wealth is financial freedom and passive income.
Meditation helps you control your anger and sadness then you become calm to think with focus.
After going through a ton of self-help stuff, including this, I think I've realized that I'm already happy and at peace. Now I'm going to go through an addiction, overcome it, and then brag about it, lol.
Did you do it?
@@sp123 Got addicted to black tar. It tore my life, family and finances apart. It took me 8 long months to finally get clean but I did it. Before I got addicted my IQ was at around 105, while I was hooked I was at 98 or so, and afterwards my IQ shot up to 140.
I just said this as a joke but it actually works. I'm going to try something else to see if it works several times.
Been watching the Joe Rogan 'Happiness' video with Naval... But this one is next level.... Game changer❤️💯👌
Free Yourself from it by doing it.
Physical Health.
Don't fixate on one defination.
Happiness
1. In your control than physical potential
2. Much more malleable
3. Its a skill, slowly will give results, can be
4. Desire is a controact to be miserable untill you get it. Delusion.
5. Procees of understanding, self discovery
In modern age the quality of decision making, matters...
Increase in effectiveness is what matters...
Stress is always under your control
The goal isn't happiness the goal is peace. You can't work towards peace. You can understand it...
NAVAL i really appreciate your wisdom. Been listening to your stuff... please release more of this, it really is valuable 🙏
Love every single insightful word naval said here,...
This is liquid gold
just thanks for existing

Absolutely love this channel, such a gem.
Naval dropping gems lately.
See something strong enough, Just go and see.(like going to hospitals,drug rehab etc..)
Nice to hear it.
Thank you Naval (:
One of the best things I ever heard
Thank You Naval.
The truth is when you start journey of being happy that is the day you get sensation of being sad because you dig deep down what makes you sad....
These ideas and this presentation is something I've been looking for. This is truly amazing! I think I'm going to type/write the transcript to kinda absorb more here.
Did you write it and can I have it 😊?
I recommend everyone to listen to this particular podcast, very good stuff Naval, thanks a lot.
Thank you so much!
Happiness is being in the state of content.
In physics stress is when something wants to be in 2 places at the same time
Personally is when you’re conflicted on desires (I want to work but i’m tired)
Peace is happiness at rest, happiness is peace in motion
You can’t work towards peace, but you can work towards understanding
The name of God is truth
When you learn certain things and understand them you become more peaceful
The closer you are to the truth, the more silent you become inside
Groups search for consensus, individuals search for truth
Group is an average, individuals are data points, don’t match
Guilt is societies voice speaking in your head
When you understand things self-improvement is inevitable
Eg. When your best friend is diagnosed with lung cancer, you suddenly understand severity of smoking, and will easily quit smoking
You can get health, wealth and happiness same time.. if you understand that you will be happy because you will find harmony in your life. But life without believing is lifeless..
Can’t #
Wow! Thank you I have been looking for this!
Yes! Glad you made these longer
Ah yes! Feed my smol pp brain, Naval.
Very helpful. Well done thank you ❤
Incredible podcast!! Thanks for sharing this knowledge and wisdom!
Thank you Naval! I sincerely appreciate the content
Thank you for dropping your wisdom!
Happiness = Acceptance - Desires
I just discovered you today & I am into things you are covering up.
So watch that Joe Rogan podcast
Oh!! So Naval has a youtube channel now. 💁
he had for a long time!
Happiness = listening to Naval's Podcast
Happiness is not a state of being, it's a byproduct of Action.
What a brilliant episode Naval. Thank you!
