Thank you this video is the first ever video from your channel that i have finished from 0 to the end it was so exciting and helpful. But your speech is a little too fast can you slow it down please if you don't mind
SO true man - we almost go through the problem twice over when we imagine scenarios and problems I made a similar video on stoicism going more into this and its application to my life - check it out if you can!
@@topjeeneethindi1064 not too hard you can find on UA-cam. But the simple way is Stoicism teach about the nature human being. Internal ( things you control) and external ( things you cannot control or full control). Also be the best version of yourself. I recommend to you for Stoicism.

I'm a psychotherapist in the US, and I'm surprised how many ideas are the EXACT SAME as a lot of the principles in cognitive therapies, like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Neato!
I remember when I was in my early 20's starting an informed CBT based on evolutionary psychology. The main premise of CBT is also the main premise of Stoicism. I started both at the same time and they blended together. For example, the main premise is that regardless of what the activating event is, the emotional disturbances/activations are controlled by how they are perceived to effect you. You cannot just change your mind however, you have to habitually through daily practice manually counter automatic emotions and thoughts with a change in perspective that nullifies emotional activation. Over time (it took me about 2 years), that part of the brain, those conectomes I guess, get a lot stronger where it no longer has 5o be manually countered in your head. You will have changed the door through which you experience the world... where before there was a filter that added anger, there is now no filter and events are experienced as they are and natural emotions like anger are null for most things, and transitory if occurred, and do not become articulated into words or habits. You become immune to being pulled by your emotions by for example the news. Tranquility. Seek it.
I always thought of stoicism as a really dispassionate approach to life and I’ve avoided it because it sounded depressing. But after this video and perhaps the timing of it as well, I see that it is very life changing way of thinking especially for anxious people. We do live in misery or happiness based on how we perceive things rather than how it is.
lowercase stoicism is the personality trait of not showing or having any emotion (which is unhealthy if applied to all aspects of life). uppercase Stoicism is this philosophy which is a way of life. The founder of Stoicism, Zeno, taught this philosophy from the "Stoa Poikile"(which is greek for "Painted Porch"), which is how Stoicism got its name.
“Don’t seek for everything to happen as you wish it would, but rather wish that everything happens as it actually will-then your life will flow well.” - Epictetus
Powerful powerful quote. Accepting this idea that we really don't have a lot of control over a lot and so should focus only on what we can and let life happen for us rather than to us. I made a video on stoicism going more into this - check it out if you can!
' we suffer more in imagination than in reality' As a depressed and anxious person I understand this sentence more than anyone. If I had lots of money I would have ali abdaal as my personal life coach. It feels so positive just listening to him.
Stoicism, a subject near and dear to my heart. I see that it is very much in fashion these days, and one thing that I do want to add that many seem to gloss over is the emphasis on being a virtuous and good person. The ability to control your reactions, control your perceptions, and therefore be in control of your happiness is great; however, without the focus on being virtuous, we lose the benefits of Stoicism for our society.
'God grant me the serenity to accept that which i cannot change, the courage to change what i can and the wisdom to know the difference'.... this is deep!
In islamic terminology it can be summed up into 5 words: Tawakkal(Trust) ,Tazkiya of Nafs(Purification of soul), Humility,Sabr(Patience)and Shukr(Gratitude)
Omg just yesterday I told my artsy frd to make me a frame with an affirmation FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL n that is the mantra saving me from the pandemic anxiety so I wanted to see it in front of me all the time.. No idea it is a founding principle of something, thanks for sharing the knowledge
I found Ali's channel a few months ago. I started applying some of his advice, and it's doing wonders for my memory retention. I've always been quick to understand material and remembering it for final exams. But that was it. I couldn't remember or apply them when other material was being built upon them. It was like I was always learning from scratch again and I burned out. HARD. I wish his content was available when I was growing up. Never too late though. Thanks Ali for putting out helpful content.
I know this video is not your most watched, but it has helped me so so so much, to help myself and to help a friend that was also in quite the stress. Thanks so much for introducing the concept of Stoicism!
That second quote hit home. One time I was feeling so frustrated that I couldn’t even think straight, I was hurt and angry and could process the situation. At that awful place I had an epiphany “wait, I’m incharge of my own emotions, so I can just choose to not care as much and calm down” So I did. It was a thought that instantly took the weight of the world off my shoulders- I was fine and in control. I’m glad this is a thing, I thought I was a bit abnormal for bending my emotions to my will.
I'm a big fan of the Stoics. Since I discovered them, it has really enriched my life and given me the tools to handle life's ups and downs. That quotation from Viktor Frankl made me wonder if he was a Stoic, too! Lovely to meet Sam Ali. Be nice to hear more from him on some other occasion. I'll definitely subscribe to his channel and check out his content. It was also nice to see you having a good chat with a mate, rather than the deep dives you also do. For me it's also easier to be sure of watching when I only have to find 10-20 minutes, or even 30 minutes, out of my day. The longer deep dives are much harder to absorb and digest all in one go because of their length - even at 1.5 speed! ;-) Thanks again - always worth watching your content!
*You've power over mind, not outside events. Realise this, you'll find strength.* - Marcus Aurelius This was the first introduction to Stoicism for me. From that day, still exploring and applying stoicism. Truly, it has been life-changing. :)
I saw that on instagram and I was like why ? But then i really liked the example of the guy reading at the bar and then completely changed his judgement when the bartender told him they are celebrating an engagement . It is all in our heads.
Great video & overview. One thing I would emphasize that practicing Stoicism does not entail inaction -- it simply means you don't tether your happiness to the consequences of your actions. You try your best, but accept whatever comes.
‘Its not the event that concerns people, it's the judgement of those events that's such an important quote. I was once in a very toxic relationship where I thought everything she did hurt or get me sad. But after I told myself that wasn't the case, I started to leave a little lighter and freerer knowing her actions was a reflection or her and not me
"We suffer more in our imagination than we do in our reality." Wow, what a revelation! Sam's weight loss journey is soo inspiring. And I love the "Serenity Prayer". Tfs
Hi Ali! Im currently reading your book recommendation "A guide to the good life: The ancient art of stoic joy" This book twists my mind a lot! Thank you so much for recommending it to us.
Stoicism is so powerful - a philosophy adopted by the highest and the lowest all to produce a happier, more positive life. I made a video on stoicism going more into this - check it out if you can!
Beautiful, the example of kissing your loved one and thinking they might not wakeup is something i always talk about, did not realize that alot of philosophers in the past did speak about it. I always think about my parents and loved ones dying, and not from an emo, depressive way, but in a way more accepting impermenance kind of way !!! Entropy is real, everything we love will cease to exist, moments will pass, and whilst we might not have control over it, maybe we could learn to appreciate them a bit more when they happen, maybe hug tighter, maybe hold on a little stronger and accept how amazing this moment is but it can always come to an end
Although I’m usually a pragmatic and rational person sometimes my negative thoughts get a better hold of me. It is now 2 AM and instead of letting it get a hold of me I am watching this video to remember what you had mentioned. Thank you (:
Thanks for this video. It reminded me of all the things I've already learned and mastered as a kid but somehow forgotten about along the way. I saved this video to watch later whenever I feel like I've forgotten it.
I'd like to thank you for introducing this concept in the most comprehensible way. I'll try to inculcate the philosophies of Stoicism in my actions from now on. I'll definitely come back to this comment to update in exact ways how it has affected my life.
“We plan but God is the best of planner.” Don’t worry of things that are not within our control. Wishing everyone a nice day and hope you find your own clarity of mind 🌻

Agree with the first quote to an extent. Some people have less control over their life than others due to systemic inequity, which could be limiting the person's freedom of various choices readily available to others.
This is graced enlightenment. It’s funny that for all I know, this has been the norm in my life. Thanks for the quotes that now referenced those norms.👍🏾
Amazing video, Ali!😊✌ It's interesting to see this because Bhagvad Gita, the sacred hindu scripture states many of these ideas with a different verbatim but basically same essence and it predates the Greeks!!
"It is impossible to be free from error. What is possible is to be constantly on the alert with a view to not erring; for we should be content if we avoid a few errors by never relaxing our attention to this objective."

I was amazed how ambitious and self-discipline you can be, such as, no movie when there is no group activity. 😊It’s wonderful that ambitious smart people don’t go aggressive but pursue a gentle state of mind to understand and accept the world and self.

How's life Ali.... I just wanted to say, I started watching your videos since the start of Corona ..... I just wanted to say thankyou you've really changed my life for the better
Loved it , thank you so much. also, massive respect to both of you and especially the stoic teacher for losing the weight. that takes a tremendous amount of strength and character. well done :)
I never realised that my thoughts were going in the direction of stoicism, for I never knew about such a thing. Thank you Ali for introducing me to stoicism!

Hi Nicole, CBT was derived from Stoicism.

Because those ideas you mentioned (stoicism) were the origins of cognitive behavioral therapy.

Been gradually applying Stoicisim teachings into my life since 2014. I am so happy you talked about this Ali, and that you can attest to it, too.
I always found it hard to read Stoic authors, but videos like this make it so easy.

Ali! You’re on a roll! I first discovered stoicism through an App called stoic and I fell in love with it, definitely looking forward to starting your class on Skillshare :)
This is just the perfect dose to motive myself✨this vid is an epic, Ali, truly🙏🏻 thanks alot for sharing your valuable knowledge plus experience with us👍🏻🙏🏻
Ali really helped capture the application of this powerful philosophy!
I made a similar video on stoicism going more into this and its application to my life - check it out if you can!
I recently started reading about stoicism and I'm loving it 💜
Dear Ali you are such a gem ma sha Allah... I really learn from each n every video you upload. Thanks a lot...
of all the videos ali made, the best one is the where he told "How to watch Anime with high productivity. "
YOU CHANGE MY THOUGHT PROCESS ALI
How's life Ali.... I just wanted to say, I started watching your videos since the start of Corona ..... I just wanted to say thankyou you've really changed my life for the better
Yes!😃
Yes, yes!.we do suffer more from imagination than reality.The amount of times I've been angry about something that's not real is insane.
Historic teacher
Ryan Holiday would be proud
Loved it , thank you so much. also, massive respect to both of you and especially the stoic teacher for losing the weight. that takes a tremendous amount of strength and character. well done :)
04:26 is when reality hit me really hard. Been going through the same shit. But somehow Ali makes our life better 💪🏻
Wow. Great video, I really see life differently now. Thank you Ali, I have learned so much from you. Keep learning and teaching us!
I never realised that my thoughts were going in the direction of stoicism, for I never knew about such a thing. Thank you Ali for introducing me to stoicism!
I made a video on stoicism too I go more into it and its application to my life - check it out if you can!
