For anyone concerned about Martin's eye - a loud noise startled him in the middle of the night and he accidentally hit himself in the eye. He's ok though!
great app suggestion, but admittedly - just sweating doesn't give your a guarantee you'll gain muscle. If you want to just have fun - that is OK though :)
So interesting talk guys, just a couple of thoughts. Progressing while enjoying every moment works just fine but also tried one old wise guy's advice who said it's better to give than to receive, and to love one another, and I meditated for some time about it. Actually, I found out it brings about so much joy. Unfortunately, there's such an egocentric and maybe selfish view of happiness nowadays (possessing, mindfulness, etc) that we've been deprived of experience the contentment and sense of fulfillment of being aware of the people around us. Love and giving also need to be practiced (just like Budist monks require meditation for deeper self awareness) but once we create the habit, our perspective of the world changes and our spirit is renewed. It's just a matter of guidance. If the foundation is firm and we contemplate a good architect's advice by setting every brick correctly, the rest of the building will undoubtly reach a good height. By the way, love listening to you to practice my English. You rock guys. Bless
So glad I stumbled on this video. I am actualy taking a course called Positive Psychology. I have a midterm exam in 4 days. We have to know Hedonic Treadmill. Greeat Video!
Yoo! Thomas and Martin wassup? I wonder if you could make a podcast on career choices based on our innate ability and talents and how to differentiate between skills that make us valuable and skills that are for life value
Aren't skills that "make us valuable" determined by those assessing our value? (ie. jobs, hiring managers, etc.) Where as, skills that are "for life value" are determined by you(the one who establishes what life value is)? Thus the only differentiation is who is assessing the skill.
A person can always improve her or his ethics and character, in order to improve his or her service to humanity. A person cannot maintain a hedonistic life, while improving her or his ethics and character. Performing acts of kindness to someone will make you happy. Expressing gratitude to someone will make a person happy. Providing an honest needed service, while earning money, will make you happy. Viktor Frankl, Nelson Mandela, and Ghandi had to learn to be happy, regardless of the situation.
0:12 Darron Breeden has the world record at the Wisconsin State Fair World Cheese Curd Eating; instantly regret searching for this, this useless fact will be forever etched in my memory.
Interesting conversation! Been thinking about the concept of the hedonic treadmill for a while now.. Talk begins at 4:30 for anyone who wants to get straight to it.

The College Info Geek Podcast Cool story, bro!
Oh, I thought, he's looking forward to play the Assassin's Creed Origins!
Just kidding, sorry, Martin. I hope you'll be alright soon :)
That's really good to know. Thanks!
Wow, it looks like Martin's workout routine is working...

Totally sexond this idea.

Why did you have to share this :(
"Yachts all the way up, turtles all the way down"
And that's a new quote sitting on my desk rn
What's that next to Martin's right eye?
Martin's left eye?
Martin what happened to your eye
Talking about the hedonic treadmill whilst drinking upscale Japanese coffee...Okiedoke.
Martin, you good?
Martin should’ve sat where you were sitting so he could hide his eye accident loooool
Really good podcast. Underrated and under viewed.
I believe the word you were looking for was "neurotransmitters". If not, I am curious what it was.
That's definitely the word!
I thought the same.

I feel like Anna gets blamed for a lot of stuff 😅😅😬
37:30 "if you get inspired by something you don't want to have to say no to that over and over" this hits home!
This seems to disprove the
Paradigms of Raise Your vibration
The guy on the left is definitely an enneagram type 5!
Turtles all the way down!!
