When facing depression, I am always reminded by Prophet Muhammad story when he was burying his only son when he died. The prophet was shedding some tears and smiling at the same time. When asked why were you shedding tears and smiling, he said the tears for what happened to my only son, the smile is for accepting God's fate.
The greatest gift my mother gave me was was understanding to be happy when we were poor. Appreciating the simple things. When you can achieve happiness with having very little in your life, you can gain a much happier life. My mum also would say to me "You go after money, all you get is money". Great interview Ali, I enjoyed this one.
I haven't finished the podcast but I can't wait to comment. I totally agree with this statement : "Happiness is a choice". Totally true!!! I'm often asked by people why I'm always happy and why I'm always smiling. The truth is simply because I decided to and also, I don't let anyone take happiness from me. I am also fully conscious of all the blessings I have had in my life.
Absolutely one of the most eye-opening conversations I ever listened to! Thanks, Ali for offering so much value to your audience! Very much appreciated
@@DeepDivewithAliAbdaal Good Times,Ali a very genuine question that just struck me : many people say,not just in society,but in the self-improvement sphere as well,that regret is the biggest poison....in the long term,I think yes....but I'm inclined to feel that in the short term,shame is a deeper,more potent and more progressive poison. Am I wrong to categorise shame as a poison,& what are your thoughts on this? Love+Respect Sid
... Dear, Sid, shame is the experience of feeling guilty. A self lmposed negative emotional condition that exists to be overcome. Welcome to empathy. The single most plain and truthful fact of life is that WE ARE HERE.😅ALL of us were, and are borne by, and are born into a great mystery. Welcome to the business of IS-NESS. Our LOVE is Only Ever Equal To Our Humility and Our Gratitude for the Confidence and the Prowess that will Stabilise Our LOVE ...
I had to literally pause the video halfway through to type this - absolutely love this man's positivity and outlook towards life! Thank you for putting up such amazing content!
The first time I heard Mo Gawdat was on the Elizabeth Day ‘How to Fail’ podcast and I was in awe of his wisdom. I was compelled to listen to his book Solve for Happy on audible and it was packed full of thought provoking insights that have really helped me during difficult times. Thanks Ali and Mo for a great conversation 🙏🏽
Waw that intro just hit the spot! Taking things for granted can be so easy to do in an over-stimulated world, but once we take what's essential in our lives than we have more control and likelihood of achieving happiness.
Absolutely incredible interview! I can’t explain how much I desperately needed to hear this Ali. I’m in a pivotal time in my life and finding it difficult to go after my dreams because I have severe depression that has all but paralyzed me most of my 43yrs of life. This is so inspiring and opened my eyes so I can see that I can choose to be happy and to move forward towards my dreams instead of continuing to tell myself I’m stuck.
I'm at 35 mins listening to the wonderful breakdown of the happiness equation. I'd like to add: "Happiness is the difference between what is, and how you think things should be."
I can relate. I cry every time I hear Mo Gawdat read a paragraph about Ali, and I cry every time I hear a story about Aya too. I can feel in his sound that the love that they share is so deep and profound.
When my two favourite people come together and have a friendly chat based on curiosity and shared experiences, it is a whole symphony coming out of it. Especially at the end the discussion of masculine and feminin resonates so much with me, I cant even describe with words. Thank you guys.
I don't think I've ever agreed more with anyone else before. I was listening to this podcast on my way to work a few days ago and I just kept saying YES . YES. YES. Happiness is the inner peace. And happiness is a choice. We don't always have control over events that are happening in our lives, but we always have control over how we choose to react to them / deal with them. Will be coming back to this one as a reminder. Thank you so much Mo & Ali xx
I find myself constantly pausing this video, taking notes (literal and mental notes) and then playing it again. Thank you for putting this together! I loved the part where he discusses the difference between happiness and excitement. Mind-boggling!!
I’ve been following Ali’s mains channel for a couple years now but this was the first time I’ve ever watched one of his podcasts and I gotta say, I’m impressed Ali. Not that I thought you would be bad but I wasn’t expecting you to be this good. The interaction is great, the feedback you give after every answer is just amazing. Keep it up my guy, I’m proud!
Finally it's here! I listened to the podcast on Slo Mo where Mo Gawdat was interviewing you and I have been waiting like forever for this episode to be released! I really enjoyed it Love Mo Gawdat and his book. I am reading "That Little Voice In Your Head" book - it's amazing so far.
Wow..This is the best I have ever heard. Thanks for inviting him on the show. I didn't read the book but now I am keen and looking forward to. Thanks Ali and team!
35:49 Thank you Ali and Mo for the wonderful conversation. I’m a very “just do it” guy and it made me look back on how it might have affected people. I should definitely start appreciating feminicity more.
Loved this interview. I thought it was interesting when somebody on social media thought they were depressed during lockdown because they sat in the park and noticed ants. No, that's not depression.
Subconsciously, when i think and reflect, my productivity, happiness and approach I have towards life right now, all thanks to Ali. Just want to say Thanks a lot man :)
1st time on this channel and I must say exceptional conversation... About your idea of domain of the privilege, I am going to drop something I had literally written yesterday, that we hear the rich and successful and privileged people say that these metrics of success don’t make a person happy, but we don’t believe them. Or we believe that it’s just them being ungrateful, when I have all that they have, I am definitely going to be happy. It’s only after chasing goal after goal and achieving them that you realize, that they might be right. But by that time, you have people around you that wouldn’t believe you.
I found his books through Amazon recommendation on launch day of his third book so i bought 2 books I'm currently reading his first book solve for happiness and listening to this makes so much sense........
Really interesting interview Ali. I've only listened to the first 20 mins so far. Looking forward to hear the rest when I get home. Mo is good at formulating his perspective!
Ali this is one of the best podcasts I've ever seen / listened to... thank you! On a side note, you need to ask Mo where he's getting this fantastic £5 indian food!!
What an incredible episode! Awesome! I’ve just been able to listen to Ali asking the best questions, followed by the best answers. Thank you very much for providing such valuable content. Sending both of you hugs and the best vibes from Brazil. 🇧🇷✨🙏💫
I've discovered that when I used to think happiness was knowledge thank happiness was not a choice I realized that my choice was that I was unhappy and I've decided that I was going to be unhappy and I decided that I was a victim so if I decided those things I could decide happiness As well that's when I knew happiness was as much a decision as being unhappy or being a victim the only difference is when you decide to be happy you're grateful I was grateful and I also decided that my ego was getting in the way of my happiness once I started caring about other people and really trying to help them and being part of their lives in a positive way my life improved exponentially
Ali, I am very grateful for bringing up this interview. So many insights and realizations. And by the way, you inspired me in many ways and gave some really valuable guidelines to start my own UA-cam channel. So thank you very much for that!
Amazing listening from Ethiopia made me grateful for the things I have loved the concepts raised here thank you both would love to see another chat with mo if possible cheers.
I actually had the urge to close the podcast when I first heard that “happiness is a choose”, but I decided not to, because I wanted to understand how come I agree with most of the things he said, but experience such strong negative reaction to the main thesis. I came to a conclusion that although this idea works as a great support system for yourself, it has completely the opposite effect when you apply it to others. Because it seems to disregard certain crucial differences that can’t be compared. Like, yes, we all have challenges and experience pain, however studies show that some types of problems (such as poverty) recreate themselves. Same goes for the idea of looking down: in many people this Awakens a sense of guilt, which is not a good source of energy. Surprisingly, Mo’s view on relationships really resonated with me. I feel like the more you know someone the more likely you are to feel that you speak different languages. And the hardest yet best paid off work is to learn to be curious and appreciative about understanding it, even when it feels like you have to start all over again no matter how many years you know that person.
Such a compelling topic. If you listen to anything today, make it this episode. I honestly don't think there's a subject more important than this. ❤️ Great work Ali and team
After listening to this amazing podcast, I came to the realization that everything the speaker talked about is already taught in Islam, albeit in different contexts and without any mention of God 🤔
I am in my first year of med school And I am actually thinking about all of what you guys are talking about Really good episode explained a lot of stuff I was struggling with
That's really amazing and life changing . thank you so much for this interview, its so helpful to see how much life could be better with every day little step to the inner part of ourself and find out how to change the bad in good, even when it seems impossible. Thanks again. Love your channel, it's amazing.
Anxiety which makes you progressive at work and strengthens your relations is good for later reward of inner happiness. If we are fulfilling your obligations everyday with a positive mindset, no matter how bad the outside world is, we will still have a peaceful mind and then happiness will drive our life.😊
Hi Ali, regarding the point that you make about rephrasing gendered terminology, I suggest you read "X+Y" by Eugenia Cheng a mathematician's manifesto for rethinking gender. Cheng creates a very interesting system of ideas to reframe how we view gender and the behaviours associated with the femminine and masculine. Keep up the amazing work, you are helping me radically change my life
Amazing interview! Thank you so much! Resonated with my thoughts on happiness. Brilliant! Wrote down 26 thoughts/lessons from the video, will think about them and will find out how it can be applied to me. ❤❤❤
@DeepDivewithAliAbdaal Thanks a lot for such a valuable podcast. One of the best. Thanks a ton for sharing! Mo articulates how brain functions in such a simple easy to follow format. Personally liked 1. human brain being survival machine with intrinsic nature of tending to be unhappy. 2. difference between happy (serotonin) and other forms like pleasure/fun (dopamine)
Lovely episode. I found very helpful the distinction between happiness (oxytocin - and I would say sobriety and serenity) and pleasure /excitement (dopamine - and I would say as Mo said we always want more of these things - leading to addiction).
The concept that “life” pushes you in a certain direction with certain measurements as if it’s a designed test is far from truth in my opinion. What about the hundreds of people who commit suicide daily? Should we blame them for not tolerating these “precise measurements” and failing the test? Simply, these tests were beyond their limitations and they were completely broken. I believe Mo is so intelligent and articulate. I definitely agree on a lot of what he said, but I thought it’s better to make my comment on where I disagree with him since most of the comments are agreeing with his views. Great interview 😊
I found this an interesting interview, thank you! I just want to explain what happiness is, in my experience. I believe that the reason we even exist, is for relationship. Firstly with God, and also with other people. I know there are many different faiths and worldviews. But I follow Jesus- and having a relationship with Him, knowing Him with me all the time (whether that is when I am talking to Him (praying), or reading the Bible, or even playing computer games, or doing anything!) is such a secure and love-filled way of living. If I am worried, I tell Him. He makes me feel held, and peaceful. If I am happy? I share it with Him. He loves me through my good and bad days. He also helps me to be patient, and kind, to other people. Relationships aren't perfect in this world. I totally get that. I believe we're in a messy, messed up world. Yes there are good things and experiences in the world. But there is also a lot of suffering and pain and, ultimately, death. I believe that Jesus is the way to have eternal life, beyond death. Jesus said this: that eternal life is about relationship with Father God, and Himself. One day, those who know Jesus will live forever with Him, in a new physical (but perfect!) world, where there'll be no more tears, pain, suffering, or death. But He also wants to be with us in our down to earth, everyday lives, in the here and now! He wants to help us, as our God, but also be our friend. I just want to tell people about Jesus. Because there is hope in Him. And abundant, safe, unconditional love, even when we screw up! Man, I do so many things wrong, but He is helping me to be more loving. But He is always there for me, and will always forgive. I tell you this, you can talk to Jesus right now, wherever you are, whatever your situation. Even if you are unsure of who He is, or if He exists. You can reach out to Him at any time, and start a relationship with Him. You will find the most loving God and Friend in Him. Thank you if you took the time to read this. Just know you are loved beyond your wildest imaginings. And the Person who loves you like that wants to show you, and for you to know Him.
55:27 I hope that mistake was something selfish (inexcusable) bc just blaming your business partner for a startup failure is kind of a big deal to throw someone under the bus like that.
Enjoyed this thoroughly! Can’t wait to get my copy of the book. Also the last part of the video resonated with me so well. I don’t like categories either! Let’s just be ourselves.
Ali if you want to be more happy. We should apply the Gap and the Gain formula in our. The formula is that look how far have you come from the starting point rather than looking at how far are you from the finishing point even though you are getting there little by little. Ps: It would be a great video if you invite the Author of the book The Gap and The Gain Dan Sullivan. Please invite him and I love the work you are doing to improve our life and learn so much. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💙💙💙

Oh wow!!!!! Mohammad Gawdat from my lovely country Egypt ,l am so proud of you ❤❤❤❤
I love the way mo explining that "hapiness is a choice "
this is my new fav episode

MO, I appreciate your podcast. I would like to know how exactly you are going to make a billion people happy.
I'm at 35 mins listening to the wonderful breakdown of the happiness equation. I'd like to add: "Happiness is the difference between what is, and how you think things should be."
Guys, instead of creating your own network, these podcasts are our saviors (esp for introvert like me)
This is one of the best podcast I've ever listened too
I can relate. I cry every time I hear Mo Gawdat read a paragraph about Ali, and I cry every time I hear a story about Aya too. I can feel in his sound that the love that they share is so deep and profound.
So wise and beautiful talk. Thank you for keeping the messages fresh.

Happieness and endless joy is not the same thing . Happy come and go but joy can last forever 💯

Tell Mo he made me happier, congrats to him for getting closer to his target 🎉
When Mo called Ali in a non-white way he did the Arabic prononcuation of it it made me really happy :)
Thank you Mo, Ali, Angus, Elizabeth and others behind the scenes! Raza :)
Wonderful interview. The balance of masculine and feminine qualities is Ardhnareshwar swaroop of God Shiva in Hinduism.
Wow..This is the best I have ever heard. Thanks for inviting him on the show. I didn't read the book but now I am keen and looking forward to. Thanks Ali and team!

Thank you so much for having this conversation with Mo! I've learned so much, you've asked such good questions Ali. So happy I watched this.
Ali the question about depression, abuse and PTSD and the answer 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This is the best thing I have ever heard. Thank you.

This is so powerful!
There IS always some pain.....I know this pain. I thank you for writing this from your heart, and ordered it today!

Ali if you want to be more happy. We should apply the Gap and the Gain formula in our. The formula is that look how far have you come from the starting point rather than looking at how far are you from the finishing point even though you are getting there little by little.
Ps: It would be a great video if you invite the Author of the book The Gap and The Gain Dan Sullivan. Please invite him and I love the work you are doing to improve our life and learn so much. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💙💙💙
