I have a 10 month old baby son and seeing his development is truly eye opening. His default condition is happiness. He wakes up on a morning smiling. As soon as we go downstairs, he plays and is laughing and smiling. Throughout the day, he only gets upset when he is hungry or has tummy ache etc. As an adult, my default condition has been the complete reverse to this. I always think that I have to have something outside of me to make me happy. A well paid job, nice car, a holiday every year, the latest gadget, the latest clothes. If any of these things made us have lasting happiness then as soon as we have experienced them we wouldn’t need them again. Of course, this isn’t the case because after having the desired object for a while, we start desiring something else. The cycle never ends. My baby is my guru and is teaching me so much❤❤❤
This is so true ! I noted this with my children also and definitely learned from my children also. It's our internal condition that sets our happiness as our outlook , independent of the external world and objects etc. Bless you ! 💞🌟🎶🙏🏼😇🕊💫
That's called programming. We all are programmed by our beliefs. Came here after watching Bruce Lipton podcast with Dr . Bhattacharya. I recommend to watch it.
When I was a kid I had one dream: to work for IBM because my dad did. Eventually, following a convoluted route, I got there. I worked my way up into a management position and secured an international assignment overseas to Budapest, still with IBM. I had my dream job, my dream car and I had paid off my mortgage by the age of 34. I wanted for nothing but happiness. I was not happy because I was not truly fulfilled. I quit, went backpacking to Asia, eventually become a scuba diving instructor working in Costa Rica and the Caribbean. Now I'm a school teacher in rural New Zealand. I've never felt happier or more fulfilled as I do now. Happiness costs. It costs in terms of opportunities to see family and old friends back in England. There is a price to be paid. But I can tell you that if you are prepared to pay the price, the outcome is more incredible than you can ever imagine. I would never trade my memories and experiences for anything. Yes, I could have had a nice house, a flashy car, designer clothes... but everything I have done and seen has been worth a thousand times that. Be brave, go for your life, because it is your only life.
Not if they actually teach kids that all the simple things in life & happiness have nothing to do with Money, assets, material possessions or wanting more & more & more !!! We need to go back to the very basics & Appreciate the small things like Dinner with family , enjoying the waves @ a beach Free, camping with family & friends , A picnic @ the Park!!!!! While also advocating hard work
Yes, Ina, a rare quality indeed. Some channels have the likes of shouty Shola and Tessa Dunlop. Ugh Such clarity and calmness comes across. When Mo was talking about having so many billion heart beats, exchanging those beats for time doing certain things, and realizing we’re not using the time of those heart beats with important moments like family or usefully, then feeling miserable, really hit home with me. I’ve just retired after 47 years nursing, thinking I need to spend time on myself and my husband, having looked after so many others, and presently living with aged disabled parents. Other people still want us, adult children and new grandchildren. When do we , my husband and I not feel guilty about looking after ourselves.
i was thinking the same thing!! Even when they are contradicting each other and themselves, they arent correcting nor debating each other. They are LISTENING in such a respectful and classy manner.
Beautiful. I’m grateful to my psychotherapist who taught me that just “being” is enough in life. I stopped being goal orientated and setting myself up for failure and began enjoying life. I’m 53 now and seem to be going deeper into that philosophy . This is a RARE find this podcast! Gold.
Setting my self up for failure and not having any goals in life i feel is one of the reasons behind me feeling unhappy with where i am. Another man’s treasure, or however the saying goes… 😅
Seems quite negative to think that setting yourself goals is setting yourself up for failure. It's a neagtive take on you and a negative take on failure.
Women just want money. They lie and say no. But anyone who’s made any decent amount of money knows is true. Sure there are other attractive indicators like leadership or how fit you are. But don’t deny. They want the money. Avoid picking up women and do whatever you want and you’ll be happy.
I lost my only daughter, my first child, on Oct 2nd 2020. She turned 21 on Sept 30th 2020. She had her first and only baby on Oct 1st 2020. She died bc of dr error.... Something drew me to this video... now I know I was meant to hear a very specific message. Thank you both. Thank you so very much🥺❤️
Brandi Michelle Akin how tragic, so sorry for your loss and in the same breath congratulations on the birth of your granbaby This life can be difficult may you find strength and peace in moving foward
These two guys have mastered their egos and are living from their hearts! This will be the model for the new earth! Humans are evolving! This is the best interview I have heard on happiness! It totally resonates with me.
Yeah it's cool raising your Consciousness and understanding the Earth is changing like we are yes some people are living on a "flat" Earth. Lol anyway I'm raising my Consciousness and starting to learn very important things about Humanity a religion and so many other things. When you know that you're a being of light, nothing can happen to you on this Earth, that's too overwhelming...
The trouble is that most of us are struggling manfully to get by financially. An awful lot of people work hard, but they are not receiving much financial reward for their efforts. 'Thank you' cards don't pay for the roof over one's head, nor put food on the table. Eventually, the music stops and one is left with a predominantly fixed income which will, in large measure, condemn most people to a lifestyle which makes it difficult to rise above the task of just surviving.
He also missed a step in his logic right at the start, talking about young people needing to acquire skills while also being inherently happy. The system itself is the issue. It is anti-human.
Work three jobs. Buy nothing. Have only one child. Your wife needs to work. No vacations. Have no bastards. Vasectomy, tubal ligation, hysterectomy. Stop worshipping wealthy people. Stop listening to trash. Buy nothing except what you need. That is very little. Women need to work. Children need to work. That is normal.
Very very true. I work more than I ever have, make more money than I ever have, only to pay bills and have no time at home since I'm at work. And then when I am home, I'm usually sleeping because I'm so exhausted... I definitely don't get paid what I'm worth. In a lot of fields- we just don't. 😕
I'm wearing a jumper today that I remember wearing when I was teaching because a student commented on how nice it was. I left teaching in 2006. Clothes have never meant anything to me. And I am just glad if my car gets me from A to B. I don't care what it is as long as it's reliable.
Lots of love and hugs for you. I lost my 21 years old son seven years ago in a hit and run accident . He was a poet, an artist and an activist. People still cry remembering him and i often receive messages that they miss him and how they love him and remember him. He stays with me every single moment but i am living my life apparently like any other person.
Dear Mo and Rangan, thank you so much for this session. I lost 2 children myself (2008 and 2009) and when people ask how I survived.... I always tell them I had no other choice.... as a mother, you want to be dead as well, you want to go after them and care for them.... but life is just not willing to let you stop breathing all by yourself. It took me some years and Mo, as you said the pain stays, but it's the way you handle it that makes life livable. Now I think back, being grateful for the chance they gave me feeling like a mom. I now know I can handle everything life throws at me, 'cause the worst thing I already survived. Bless you and your families. You both are a blessing for this world.
Oh my God, I don’t know what to say other than after more than 20 years trying to find happiness through spiritual practices and teachers. This man just gave me one of the greatest lessons in my 68 years of life. Thank you so much!!!
Mindfulkayaker - .... and all this time over these past 20 years, you've always had the answer you searched for. It's in the first 3 words of your own comment. May He open your eyes.
@@americanpatriot7247 hope u r happy (fake) w/ your fixation on a god that does not want you to ask it for this that or the other thing u god bothering incurious minded actual anti-patriot i say as a fellow actual american patriot! u r a classic idjit!
I've been SCREAMING this for YEARS. People forgot how to play. We forgot how to create. We forgot how to love. We forgot how to be. We forgot who we are in the name of money and working jobs that don't bring us joy. Then the end of our life comes, and we never lived. We only went through the motions. Since I was a kid, I realized this and would always say it. I'd argue with adults about it. And I'm still like this. I make art. It's what I love to do. I feel like I'm living when I create. When will we remember how to live and not just exist?
I retired two years ago and never looked back. Teaching is a hard job and as much as I loved the kids I disliked the job. The school policies and not being able to teach. Really teach. It has been such a hard go for over twenty eight ears. Now I rise everyday feeling like a song is about to unfold. A beautiful song. I do life. My life. No longer do I live to make sure others are happy with me. I now live for myself and my happiness. I love being out and about and meeting others but I don’t care to impress them. I just want to enjoy their company. Yes some days I just sit and read or paint or just out walking. It’s my life now and I’m loving it.
One of the best podcasts I have heard in a long time 💕. I'm terrified that in my fifties I haven't accomplished any material stuff (house, , money, fancy car, etc) the sad thing is I don't even want those things, even though I am not going to get any younger, and it is important to have at least a place to stay for the last years of your life, the only thing I want on a daily basis, is to have the mental energy to wake up and exercise, and spend most of my time moving and reenergize myself, because it prevents me from being depressed, it prevents me from feeling a type of emptiness that hurts, and nothing can make me feel better, but physical movement. It's complicated, but listening to this podcast and reading the comments, I know I am not alone.
Thank you so much. I am in the space of losing my brother as I writing this and this pod cast has given me the greatest gift your story gave me the ok to celebrate my brothers journey and keep his spirit with me. ❤thank you so much
I read your reply as if I wrote it - you are not alone! I am also listening how to meditate to have more internal messages come through so I know what’s next. Am in my late fifties also.
@lucinawhitney2839 what might make you even happier is to find something very worthy to do with your life in the form of helping others. You hen switch your mind from focusing on yourself to focusing on others & you might become more fulfilled. Our greatest gift is to help others. Could be helping in the animal kingdom. Good luck
‘Events are neutral. It is the narrative we attach to them that we choose’. This is so empowering. Acceptance of what is true is key to opening up how we then deal with anything uncomfortable. Being a victim is as much a choice as being happy over any event. We are far too hyper focused on materialism as a means of success; happiness is the ultimate success.
So basically you became financially stable through something you truly didn't like and we're fortunate to go backpacking through Asia because of the job . These stories are the same here. Being stable financially buys freedom to do what you want.
I've listened to this conversation endless times and it's a perfect reminder of what's important in my life. Beautiful to see grown men speaking with vulnerability and with such wisdom. Thank you Ragan and Mo
I didn't think I liked podcasts but I now realise I was just listening to the wrong ones. This is the second of your videos that I have watched and the impact they are having on my mindset and wellbeing feels life changing
This hit hard ! I didn’t finish college. Ran my own business for a while. Just got tired of being in the rat race. Now I’m retired probably will never go back to work. Enjoy traveling and living in the moment every day.
So healing to listen to this podcast. I quit my job in april this year and I have never felt happier. Even if I don't have any money, I still get up every day my body, mind and soul smiling. And it has been difficult to leave what I've been taught is the safe route. So many times I had to defend my decision. Now I just smile and say, maybe your right, but Im so happy, look at me. Have you ever seen me this happy?
how do you survive. no guilt, no shame for not following cultural norms(mariage, animals, children, nice car, nice house, good 401k and retirement and healthcare plan
@leelunk you laugh today, could be you on the street tomorrow. Seen it happen to many, those who have the most almost always fall the hardest, and rarely survive it.
It was banned ? I've always been interested in herbs and natural remedies and growing them and eating and using them in remedies etc. Thank you for this🌿🎶❣️I looked it up and she now has a website named after the book where you can order the e-book. I do wish I could get a hardcopy. Do you know where a hardcopy may be available? Much gratitude 🌟💞🌱🌻🍀🌾☘️
WOW! Just wow. This is the BEST podcast episode I have ever watched (and I watch them everyday for years)! 😍 I cried 3 times already. So much wisdom. Every sentence made me think WOW.
IMO this man has cultivated wisdom in life that has given him the gift of JOY. Joy is ETERNAL. Happiness is less than joy and is fleeting. Joy never leaves you. This has been my experience. Xoxoxo ❤️
Feels like I'm sitting with 2 old friends when I'm listening to this. I listened to this a few times...different revelations each time.."when the student is ready". I read Mo's book Solve for happy(didn't finish it, but got what I needed) years ago. What an eye opener. I've since discovered Edith Eger..Thank you Ally, Rangan and Mo.
I loved this video. It came right on time..My 39 year old daughter pass suddenly on 4/14/2022 in my home and I can't find happy anymore. I woke up to this video this morning. When I first started listening, to this video, I thought to myself ....how can someone be happy when their child is suddenly gone? But then as I went further into the video, I realized he lost his child also and at that moment, I was sad for him but the video meant so much more to me; because it was more relatable 💔🤗♥️
I, too, am a medical doctor, who branched into Energy Healing. I didn't make much money and must confess that at a recent class reunion, I felt some shame at the opulence of my colleagues and my relative poverty.. just for awhile😂.
Energy medicine, is what I do as well. Energy is everything! Yet many people do not understand it’s importance. There’s no more energy in something expensive as opposed to the equivalent, utilitarian item. What really matters, you cannot buy!
I totally relate. My child died by suicide at 17yrs old 17months after she was gang raped and a photo circulating the entire time. All the systems failed her. It was soooooo pain filled. I chose to honour the pain and reclaim my life. I too get messages from around the world that send me messages that say they also love and honour my child. I do not chopse suffering but I do honour that deep deep hole in my heart. I totally relate to this.
I lost my little brother to suicide....yet the brief background you share regarding your daughter sounds incredibly tragic and makes a person wonder ...how in the world does one pick up the pieces from that "train wreck"? May God break through this situation and grace you in extraordinary manner so that you can help others who have suffered great loss.
I am so so sorry that such deep injustice came to your daughter. Your strength and resolve in the face of such loss is just incredible. I hope your road ahead is paved with endless love
It's Sunday and I have never...ever...gone through a 2 hour video on UA-cam. This was so compelling that I started ironing through It...then went for a walk at the lake with it...then in the car to my mum's continued listening...ended watching it with a cappuccino as my supper. What superb people they are👏👏👏
This conversation is absolutely outstanding. I want to reach out and hug Mr. Gawdat as I can feel his pain when he talks about his beloved late son. 😔😔😔 What a generous, most intelligent and full of compassion man! His powerful, wise concepts are very helpful. I find his words soothing and a great lesson in life. Thanks so so much for this podcast. For me, THE best ever. I favourited this interview as I know I’m going to listen to it again and again. 👍❤️❤️
"Ali is here in many forms but most importantly he is here in love". This coming from someone Who lost a sister and spent the last few years in total darkness and depression thank you for the conversation ❤❤
@@Kittykat4188 thanks for writing this as it shows how deeply you understand 🙏. I was never the same person after her literally down to every cell in my body.
so sorry for your loss, I literally cannot IMAGINE a life without my sister, she's my best friend, the only person I can be myself around etc. I don't even feel like myself if I'm unaccompanied by her presence even for a little while, its like my inner child is stored within her presence, if I lose her, I'll forever lose my inner child and most likely never feel like myself again and might even lose my will to live so I know how you feel, I really hope you can heal
Amazing podcast. Many people do confuse real happiness with the short temporary bursts of pleasure. They live a life of being ‘happy’ when things are going well and miserable when they believe things are not going as well because of their expectations and their sense of entitlement to how life ‘should be’ for them and it’s a real roller coaster ride. True happiness is more of a sense of overall peace and stability and being ok with ‘what is’ in the moment whether that is if your mind perceives it to be ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for you. It’s also not about not having or feeling any negative emotions such as anger or sadness etc, either. It’s just understanding their temporary nature, being ok with them as they are also ‘what is’ in the moment and then trying to let them go so that they don’t stay around longer than they need to. Normally our mind spins a story to constantly fuel them, which means they go on for longer, clouding our future judgements and therefore our actions. Much much easier said than done though and extremely difficult in some circumstances. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and suffering that some people have had or are going through and this podcast is a perfect example. Life does however get much happier once this is taken on as a daily practice, or it most certainly has for me.
Some people love being alone. You have to be happy with yourself as far as I'm concerned. Many people need to be around people. I love hanging out with people a little but most the time I love being alone so I can watch these videos and learn.
This is one of the best podcasts I have ever had the pleasure to listen and watch, and so far, I am only 40 mins in. Mo Gawdat and Dr Rangan Chatterjee are true blessings to our world and I cannot express how much I am learning from you. I am journaling all of this as you speak. It is making a profound impact in my life and the way I want to lead it, going forward. I hope your insights, your conversation and my written recording of it also changes the lives of the people I hope one day will read it. I am committed to living my passion (which i am, as a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist specialising in Electronic Assistive Technology - my absolute passion), and I am reflecting on times in my career where I have portrayed my soul. I am dedicated to continue to portray my soul in all that I do, and all the roles I play in my life. I am committed to Living my Truth and to Live Truly to who I am, in all that I do, with all that I am with, to help change the world for the better. A million thank you's for noticing incredible people in the world, creating and showcasing on a platform, your dedication is spreading. Thank you, for your hearts, souls and your passion. Sasha. x
Thank you for choosing the profession you did. My son James had a life changing experience, because of a dedicated speech therapist like yourself. Which in turn lead him to be on the Tyra Banks Show in Sept 2005 and receive the fluency master device
I'm an artist by trade and vocation.. However, our society rarely values artists and has always told me that I'll never make enough money. I admit I am nearly always skint, but I've always thought that's the price for freedom. Thought provoking podcast my friend.....one to contemplate 🤔...God bless 🙏
I have been reading Mo’s book ‘ Solve for Happy” after I saw a post by some I follow on IG. At the same time I looked him up on the Net and have been listening to all his talks, podcasts etc. I love his message, his ideas and the tips he gives us to change our unhappy ways. One of the best quotes is “ I choose to be happy”. Great podcast!
Very nice life concepts that some managers still do not see. Thanks to Covid I quit commuting to work and started working 100% from home. I feel much happier because thanks to those saved heartbeats I Live more.... I play with kids, fixing old cars that have price just to me, teaching my son to weld, work with wood, grow veggies etc. Happy indeed
This conversation was absolutely beautiful.. it also makes me believe more and more in the teachings of Santana Dharma (basically called as Hinduism) that wrote and taught about what life is and how it continues for eternity and this body is just a medium. Science has a lot of catching up to do with what has already been written in the Vedas and Upanishads thousands of years ago
Dr Rangan, this has to be my favorite interview with Mo Gawdat. It struck a chord so many times and was so easy to listen to and understand. My heart beats and breathing have slowed in the process of listening and watching this. Thank you both so much. Best wishes from Devon
The name of this interview and the thumbnail undersold the content ***SO MUCH***!!!! This was 2hrs of the best and most wise life advice I've ever heard!! Can't wait to share this with my 20yo soon so he can benefit from Mo's wisdom at the front end of life. Thank you both and thank you Ali 🙏💖💕🙏
“Happiness sits between events and your reactions towards them”… I was recently doing that without having realised , as it was an outcome of the magnitude of changes and turmoils I had been going through and I was happy to hear it here
So much wisdom to his words talking about Ali, that is spirituality. A scientist talking like that is so beautiful and free, the world has hope. Love his words and wisdom of living.
Dr Chatterjee, thank you 🙏 for your podcasts. They just keep getting better and better, and we love your intentional choice of interviewee. It’s life changing for us to be able to partake in listening to these conversations. With huge appreciation 🙏
You guys have inspired me to feel and express what you're saying in my own way, to write poetry: Taking heartbeats by yourself feeling time has left you out doing what you're told leads to wealth and wins happiness within and without yet feeling empty, sad, and ill of health you crave love and want to shout I feel more of me through commonwealth
So imagine, the fact that your son is part of everything and everyone, you have just made us aware of his being a n integral part me and yourself so much... Imagine therefore you are he who you speak to and all of us listening ❤
Hi Rangan, I loved your question where you asked what if the person is already helping people in general but its not their calling. The answer in my view and experience is this - a human can help other humans being in any profile regardless whether its their calling/passion or not. However, when we help people in a subject area that we love and are passionate about; then its not just that we are making others happy; but instead, we earn happiness for ourselves. More than others! And if we are happy then its a lot easier to keep the world happy around us. regards
Dr Rangan’s podcasts are my most favourite go to listen to when I have questions or any troubled thoughts… this podcast I have shared with everyone I know as it is definitely the one you need to hear this year ♥️🙏🏼
Best podcast I ve ever heard....especially about our expectations about life and how we can actually CHOOSE to be happy. I never thought about life like that!!THANK YOUXXXX
Being rich and affording anything in life doesn't make you happy if that is why you are buying expensive things, and hearing this from someone who has been able to afford anything would know this is true. Happiness is an inside job. What I have found ironic is that this wonderful gentleman and happiness expert. I don't think smiled even once during this interview. Unless I missed it. Thank you for making a difference in the world, I would love to see a smile in the next interview. 🥰
Wow. Out of ask of your podcasts and others I listen to regularly, this was hands down one of the most enlightening and so so emotional. Thank you to both of you for this wonderful message 🙏💚
This was deep. Personal. And reflective. This is my first time coming across Mo, and what a wonderful brain. Thanks for sharing your story, always a privilege to learn.
The funny thing is that we don’t know it until we really go through all this journey then learn the lesson that being happy really doesn’t need that much things
Every day we have lessons and teaching moments. Today I searched for a teaching moment and received a lesson that I can teach within my own young family. The moments like this are few, impact and power of perspective and context. My take away, listen more to your heart. Thank you for sharing so eloquently.
This podcast found me sad, depressed and unhappy after losing my dear brother Ali just a week a go. I did not know I was ready to look for healing. From what I have been listening and watching through this podcast, my brother Ali is a follower or a believer.......practiced such wisdom in his life. Thank you for this conversation. May they both rest in peace.
Ali awaits you in the shores of the afterlife. He is there, smiling, happy, he waves excitedly, I see him. He says to tell you he is ok and he will wait for you.
I could not get enough of this interview. Mo has so much insight and brought me to tears with his story. Please bring him back and other guests like him ❤
Such an amazing podcast .. simple, logical, setting realistic expectations, living in present , stop comparing your life with others , detachment from materialistic world, find something that is true to your heart .. few to define happiness. So resonate with this conversation.
You speak wise words Mo. I love just being, I get up at 3am at weekends to meditate. The silence and connection to the universe at that time is invaluable and inarticulate. Happiness is in simplicity and living in the moment, in my experience anyway.
What an absolutely beautiful and insightful conversation. There are no words possible to describe how much I have learned and loved, while sharing in this outstanding and moving podcast. Thank you both, and of course Ally, for all that you bring daily, to so many lives. Mine most certainly included.
This is one of the most brilliant discussions I've had the pleasure to listen too. Time to focus on my happiness full time. I have been working on a book about happiness for years and so many inspirational comments throughout this chat.
Definitely prevention is better than cure. I love to help others build their well-being . How I got here was to help build my own. It was a long hard battle . Blessings to Mo and Rangan for highlighting the importance of living an authentic life.
A lot of issues for me in life stemmed from high school where I felt inadequate and not part of the “in” group. It was after two divorces that I began to work on myself and do what made me happy, I came to know myself better, and I began to realize that material possessions did not make me happy, relationships made me happy. Also, I discovered that when we open up to life’s possibilities people come into your life. In the past I would have compared those people to the “perfect” people I wanted to be with, but I learned that nobody is perfectly happy and I started enjoying the people I was with.
Very smart, very deep and very noble man despite horrible tragedy tragedy that happened in his life,I hope there are and will be more humans like him.Only hope for humanity to survive😊 in near and foseable future!
I love this interview. Well done Rangan and Mo. Tremendous advice and thought provoking. One of my favourite interviews, and I'm sure life changing for people.
This is my favorite podcast ever and I have listened to many at this point. I wish I could hear it for the first time again, but that can't happen. Will definitely listen again all the same.
Thank you for this interview. This man has offered so much insight and given me much to think about. I have often thought that I would like to look at death differently. Not only that, the entire interview was just amazing. He is a man if much wisdom. I'm so thankful that he cared enough to share his story. His son sounds like he was an amazing young man. It would have been such a shame if was never was born. I plan on listening again because I'm sure I can glean even more from the interview, the second time. Well done!
I agree with others over here, that this has to be the best podcast I have listened to. Incredible thoughts by Mo, will listen to this podcast again and again to learn more from it, and thank you for the great work. 🙏🏻
This topic should be discussed with more people, having realizations like these or similar. This touched me deeply having lost a loved one as well. Talking with him as well, inside my head and heart, even though he left this world 8 years ago. ♥️
I thank God that I learned these lessons at an early age. I am valuable because I am an energy source put here on the Earth for a purpose. I don't need material goods to define me.
I have a 10 month old baby son and seeing his development is truly eye opening.
His default condition is happiness.
He wakes up on a morning smiling. As soon as we go downstairs, he plays and is laughing and smiling.
Throughout the day, he only gets upset when he is hungry or has tummy ache etc.
As an adult, my default condition has been the complete reverse to this.
I always think that I have to have something outside of me to make me happy.
A well paid job, nice car, a holiday every year, the latest gadget, the latest clothes.
If any of these things made us have lasting happiness then as soon as we have experienced them we wouldn’t need them again.
Of course, this isn’t the case because after having the desired object for a while, we start desiring something else.
The cycle never ends.
My baby is my guru and is teaching me so much❤❤❤
💜
Awesome situation, happy for you!
But a baby is also something from the outside that makes you happy, isn't it?
This is so true ! I noted this with my children also and definitely learned from my children also. It's our internal condition that sets our happiness as our outlook , independent of the external world and objects etc. Bless you ! 💞🌟🎶🙏🏼😇🕊💫
“ Most of us are stuck in stories. Stories can be changed “. So true.
That's called programming. We all are programmed by our beliefs.
Came here after watching Bruce Lipton podcast with Dr . Bhattacharya. I recommend to watch it.
Profound. I love it. Thank you.
When I was a kid I had one dream: to work for IBM because my dad did. Eventually, following a convoluted route, I got there. I worked my way up into a management position and secured an international assignment overseas to Budapest, still with IBM. I had my dream job, my dream car and I had paid off my mortgage by the age of 34. I wanted for nothing but happiness. I was not happy because I was not truly fulfilled. I quit, went backpacking to Asia, eventually become a scuba diving instructor working in Costa Rica and the Caribbean. Now I'm a school teacher in rural New Zealand. I've never felt happier or more fulfilled as I do now. Happiness costs. It costs in terms of opportunities to see family and old friends back in England. There is a price to be paid. But I can tell you that if you are prepared to pay the price, the outcome is more incredible than you can ever imagine. I would never trade my memories and experiences for anything. Yes, I could have had a nice house, a flashy car, designer clothes... but everything I have done and seen has been worth a thousand times that. Be brave, go for your life, because it is your only life.
Beautiful. Truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful, Thank you for sharing!
I do understand your point. Thanks very, very much for sharing your experience. Be blessed!
Amen 🙏
Wow so eye opening and damning
Schools definitely knock the passion out of children 😢
Not if they actually teach kids that all the simple things in life & happiness have nothing to do with Money, assets, material possessions or wanting more & more & more !!! We need to go back to the very basics & Appreciate the small things like Dinner with family , enjoying the waves @ a beach Free, camping with family & friends , A picnic @ the Park!!!!! While also advocating hard work
Listen to some of Gabor Mate's talks on parent- children relationships
I love that these guys don't interrupt each other. Which is so rare. They are genuinely interested in what the other is saying.
You're so right, I just realized that.
Agree. To me, an ADHDer, it just looks like magic.
Yes, Ina, a rare quality indeed. Some channels have the likes of shouty Shola and Tessa Dunlop. Ugh Such clarity and calmness comes across. When Mo was talking about having so many billion heart beats, exchanging those beats for time doing certain things, and realizing we’re not using the time of those heart beats with important moments like family or usefully, then feeling miserable, really hit home with me. I’ve just retired after 47 years nursing, thinking I need to spend time on myself and my husband, having looked after so many others, and presently living with aged disabled parents. Other people still want us, adult children and new grandchildren. When do we , my husband and I not feel guilty about looking after ourselves.
i was thinking the same thing!! Even when they are contradicting each other and themselves, they arent correcting nor debating each other. They are LISTENING in such a respectful and classy manner.
You know you need me in your life, guy, it's the interwebs !!!
Beautiful. I’m grateful to my psychotherapist who taught me that just “being” is enough in life. I stopped being goal orientated and setting myself up for failure and began enjoying life. I’m 53 now and seem to be going deeper into that philosophy .
This is a RARE find this podcast! Gold.
Setting my self up for failure and not having any goals in life i feel is one of the reasons behind me feeling unhappy with where i am. Another man’s treasure, or however the saying goes… 😅
Seems quite negative to think that setting yourself goals is setting yourself up for failure. It's a neagtive take on you and a negative take on failure.
@GreenDemon618 thanks for this. I’m certainly have not accomplished my goals (materialistically) but found it hard to get ahead
Women just want money. They lie and say no. But anyone who’s made any decent amount of money knows is true. Sure there are other attractive indicators like leadership or how fit you are. But don’t deny. They want the money. Avoid picking up women and do whatever you want and you’ll be happy.
Being happy is not enough being fulfilled is enough
I lost my only daughter, my first child, on Oct 2nd 2020. She turned 21 on Sept 30th 2020. She had her first and only baby on Oct 1st 2020.
She died bc of dr error....
Something drew me to this video... now I know I was meant to hear a very specific message.
Thank you both. Thank you so very much🥺❤️
Brandi Michelle Akin how tragic, so sorry for your loss and in the same breath congratulations on the birth of your granbaby
This life can be difficult may you find strength and peace in moving foward
my utmost condolences….❤😢. may her soul rest in eternal peace.
I have 3 daughters and cannot imagine your pain.
May God give you patience. My prayers to you
Deepest sympathies to you and your family. May the Almighty give you'll the strength to get through this difficult phase. She is in a better place ❤
These two guys have mastered their egos and are living from their hearts! This will be the model for the new earth! Humans are evolving! This is the best interview I have heard on happiness! It totally resonates with me.
Yeah it's cool raising your Consciousness and understanding the Earth is changing like we are yes some people are living on a "flat" Earth. Lol anyway I'm raising my Consciousness and starting to learn very important things about Humanity a religion and so many other things. When you know that you're a being of light, nothing can happen to you on this Earth, that's too overwhelming...
The trouble is that most of us are struggling manfully to get by financially. An awful lot of people work hard, but they are not receiving much financial reward for their efforts. 'Thank you' cards don't pay for the roof over one's head, nor put food on the table. Eventually, the music stops and one is left with a predominantly fixed income which will, in large measure, condemn most people to a lifestyle which makes it difficult to rise above the task of just surviving.
I usually love these podcasts but this is so much about his lived existence with little understanding of others lived experience
He also missed a step in his logic right at the start, talking about young people needing to acquire skills while also being inherently happy.
The system itself is the issue. It is anti-human.
Work three jobs. Buy nothing. Have only one child. Your wife needs to work. No vacations. Have no bastards. Vasectomy, tubal ligation, hysterectomy. Stop worshipping wealthy people. Stop listening to trash. Buy nothing except what you need. That is very little. Women need to work. Children need to work. That is normal.
Very very true. I work more than I ever have, make more money than I ever have, only to pay bills and have no time at home since I'm at work. And then when I am home, I'm usually sleeping because I'm so exhausted... I definitely don't get paid what I'm worth. In a lot of fields- we just don't. 😕
I'm wearing a jumper today that I remember wearing when I was teaching because a student commented on how nice it was. I left teaching in 2006. Clothes have never meant anything to me. And I am just glad if my car gets me from A to B. I don't care what it is as long as it's reliable.
Lots of love and hugs for you. I lost my 21 years old son seven years ago in a hit and run accident . He was a poet, an artist and an activist. People still cry remembering him and i often receive messages that they miss him and how they love him and remember him. He stays with me every single moment but i am living my life apparently like any other person.
I would love to read his poetry
God bless you.
I would.
God bless you dear.
Dear Mo and Rangan, thank you so much for this session. I lost 2 children myself (2008 and 2009) and when people ask how I survived.... I always tell them I had no other choice.... as a mother, you want to be dead as well, you want to go after them and care for them.... but life is just not willing to let you stop breathing all by yourself. It took me some years and Mo, as you said the pain stays, but it's the way you handle it that makes life livable. Now I think back, being grateful for the chance they gave me feeling like a mom. I now know I can handle everything life throws at me, 'cause the worst thing I already survived. Bless you and your families. You both are a blessing for this world.
Thank you for sharing. My heart goes out to you 💗
@@enheduana11 thank you! 💗
Im so sorry for your loss
Being a Mom is a privilege that you had which is the deepest love in life and glad you had that if only for a short time
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you are in better place. 🫂
Oh my God, I don’t know what to say other than after more than 20 years trying to find happiness through spiritual practices and teachers. This man just gave me one of the greatest lessons in my 68 years of life. Thank you so much!!!
Mindfulkayaker - .... and all this time over these past 20 years, you've always had the answer you searched for. It's in the first 3 words of your own comment. May He open your eyes.
@@americanpatriot7247 hope u r happy (fake) w/ your fixation on a god that does not want you to ask it for this that or the other thing u god bothering incurious minded actual anti-patriot i say as a fellow actual american patriot! u r a classic idjit!
I've been SCREAMING this for YEARS. People forgot how to play. We forgot how to create. We forgot how to love. We forgot how to be. We forgot who we are in the name of money and working jobs that don't bring us joy. Then the end of our life comes, and we never lived. We only went through the motions. Since I was a kid, I realized this and would always say it. I'd argue with adults about it. And I'm still like this. I make art. It's what I love to do. I feel like I'm living when I create. When will we remember how to live and not just exist?
NICE! You said some important things which are very true... #truelovehealseverything
Don't engage in what you consider confusion in others if you desire happiness.
I retired two years ago and never looked back. Teaching is a hard job and as much as I loved the kids I disliked the job. The school policies and not being able to teach. Really teach. It has been such a hard go for over twenty eight ears. Now I rise everyday feeling like a song is about to unfold. A beautiful song. I do life. My life. No longer do I live to make sure others are happy with me. I now live for myself and my happiness. I love being out and about and meeting others but I don’t care to impress them. I just want to enjoy their company. Yes some days I just sit and read or paint or just out walking. It’s my life now and I’m loving it.
Absolutely
We face screens too much....😂
“It’s hard, but so is everything worthwhile” love love love
One of the best podcasts I have heard in a long time 💕. I'm terrified that in my fifties I haven't accomplished any material stuff (house, , money, fancy car, etc) the sad thing is I don't even want those things, even though I am not going to get any younger, and it is important to have at least a place to stay for the last years of your life, the only thing I want on a daily basis, is to have the mental energy to wake up and exercise, and spend most of my time moving and reenergize myself, because it prevents me from being depressed, it prevents me from feeling a type of emptiness that hurts, and nothing can make me feel better, but physical movement. It's complicated, but listening to this podcast and reading the comments, I know I am not alone.
Thank you so much. I am in the space of losing my brother as I writing this and this pod cast has given me the greatest gift your story gave me the ok to celebrate my brothers journey and keep his spirit with me. ❤thank you so much
At 53 I too realize I haven't moved enough. Studying, working requires brain activity but too much sitting. Keep on moving is my motto
I read your reply as if I wrote it - you are not alone! I am also listening how to meditate to have more internal messages come through so I know what’s next. Am in my late fifties also.
You are not alone brother.
@lucinawhitney2839 what might make you even happier is to find something very worthy to do with your life in the form of helping others. You hen switch your mind from focusing on yourself to focusing on others & you might become more fulfilled. Our greatest gift is to help others. Could be helping in the animal kingdom. Good luck
I feel like every single person on earth needs to hear this conversation, cant believe ive only just discovered it, Life changing!
All those heart beats I've wasted doing what was expected and I KNEW and I still did it.
‘Events are neutral. It is the narrative we attach to them that we choose’. This is so empowering. Acceptance of what is true is key to opening up how we then deal with anything uncomfortable. Being a victim is as much a choice as being happy over any event. We are far too hyper focused on materialism as a means of success; happiness is the ultimate success.
Had to write this Mo quote in my “Love” journal, “To find love, love yourself, and do what you love.”
❤
So basically you became financially stable through something you truly didn't like and we're fortunate to go backpacking through Asia because of the job . These stories are the same here. Being stable financially buys freedom to do what you want.
Exactly!
right
money first
Yes this 🎉
I've listened to this conversation endless times and it's a perfect reminder of what's important in my life. Beautiful to see grown men speaking with vulnerability and with such wisdom.
Thank you Ragan and Mo
I didn't think I liked podcasts but I now realise I was just listening to the wrong ones. This is the second of your videos that I have watched and the impact they are having on my mindset and wellbeing feels life changing
This hit hard ! I didn’t finish college. Ran my own business for a while. Just got tired of being in the rat race. Now I’m retired probably will never go back to work. Enjoy traveling and living in the moment every day.
I need tips!!!
You dont have to be rich per se to escape the rat race. Just live without much expenses.
I LIVE IN A STUDIO APARTMENT ,DRIVE AN OLD CAR,NO BILLS,MAKE 100K A YEAR , SPEND GREAT MOMENTS SPOILING MY NEPHEWS AND NIECES!!
Blown away by this conversation. Having lost my daughter recently, there was so much wisdom from another bereaved parent.
I’m so sorry for your loss Samina 😞 wishing you peace, love and strength through..
@@aneeshaanand4472 thank you
This is both shocking and sad May you find the inner strength to pull you through this calamity.
@@bmniac Thank you
So sorry for your loss Samina. Sending love and healing thoughts. 💕
Staying alone is a great blessing for very few gifted ones! There is no joy as aesthetic as the one coming from your living with yourself!
So healing to listen to this podcast. I quit my job in april this year and I have never felt happier. Even if I don't have any money, I still get up every day my body, mind and soul smiling. And it has been difficult to leave what I've been taught is the safe route. So many times I had to defend my decision. Now I just smile and say, maybe your right, but Im so happy, look at me. Have you ever seen me this happy?
Positive Thinking
And have a good God To Pray. And

HAPPY AND BROKE AND SOON TO BE HOMELESS LOL
@leelunk you laugh today, could be you on the street tomorrow. Seen it happen to many, those who have the most almost always fall the hardest, and rarely survive it.
For everyone reading this, finding the banned book called the hidden herbs by anette ray should be your top priority
It was banned ? I've always been interested in herbs and natural remedies and growing them and eating and using them in remedies etc.
Thank you for this🌿🎶❣️I looked it up and she now has a website named after the book where you can order the e-book.
I do wish I could get a hardcopy. Do you know where a hardcopy may be available? Much gratitude 🌟💞🌱🌻🍀🌾☘️
WOW! Just wow. This is the BEST podcast episode I have ever watched (and I watch them everyday for years)! 😍
I cried 3 times already. So much wisdom. Every sentence made me think WOW.
Great interview
❤
IMO this man has cultivated wisdom in life that has given him the gift of JOY. Joy is ETERNAL. Happiness is less than joy and is fleeting. Joy never leaves you. This has been my experience. Xoxoxo ❤️
I should listen to this every week to remind me of what is really important in life... This is so damn powerful.
i know the feeling.
Feels like I'm sitting with 2 old friends when I'm listening to this. I listened to this a few times...different revelations each time.."when the student is ready".
I read Mo's book Solve for happy(didn't finish it, but got what I needed) years ago.
What an eye opener.
I've since discovered Edith Eger..Thank you Ally, Rangan and Mo.
Indian society is the most garbage
I found this by “accident” and I’m just…. Astounded. I needed to hear this. I’ve needed this for years.
Goosebumps. My turning point is now at 32 years old. Not rich or what, but questioning my priorities. This is profound.
Survival
A great age to have come across this conversation to help you realise what is important in life.
I loved this video. It came right on time..My 39 year old daughter pass suddenly on 4/14/2022 in my home and I can't find happy anymore. I woke up to this video this morning. When I first started listening, to this video, I thought to myself ....how can someone be happy when their child is suddenly gone? But then as I went further into the video, I realized he lost his child also and at that moment, I was sad for him but the video meant so much more to me; because it was more relatable 💔🤗♥️
I, too, am a medical doctor, who branched into Energy Healing. I didn't make much money and must confess that at a recent class reunion, I felt some shame at the opulence of my colleagues and my relative poverty.. just for awhile😂.
You were one of few that grew and learned the most to benefit others.
Energy medicine, is what I do as well.
Energy is everything!
Yet many people do not understand it’s importance.
There’s no more energy in something expensive as opposed to the equivalent, utilitarian item.
What really matters, you cannot buy!
Thank you for the like of my comment! Enjoy your weekend!
Can u help someone with chronic Lyme Disease, Energy is sucked out of your life by Lyme. If you can help me do let me know. Thank you
I totally relate. My child died by suicide at 17yrs old 17months after she was gang raped and a photo circulating the entire time. All the systems failed her. It was soooooo pain filled. I chose to honour the pain and reclaim my life. I too get messages from around the world that send me messages that say they also love and honour my child. I do not chopse suffering but I do honour that deep deep hole in my heart. I totally relate to this.
Sorry for your lost🙏 wishing you peace, love and strength Leah❤.
I lost my little brother to suicide....yet the brief background you share regarding your daughter sounds incredibly tragic and makes a person wonder ...how in the world does one pick up the pieces from that "train wreck"?
May God break through this situation and grace you in extraordinary manner so that you can help others who have suffered great loss.
I am so so sorry that such deep injustice came to your daughter. Your strength and resolve in the face of such loss is just incredible. I hope your road ahead is paved with endless love
@@carolinepark4033 thank you! Its been a journey ans she has been my inspiration since the day i met her. She continues to inspire me as I live life.
Many heartfelt tears...
I was totally engrossed in this conversation. I laughed, I cried, I forgot time. Two wonderful human beings who can teach us so much ❤
It's Sunday and I have never...ever...gone through a 2 hour video on UA-cam. This was so compelling that I started ironing through It...then went for a walk at the lake with it...then in the car to my mum's continued listening...ended watching it with a cappuccino as my supper. What superb people they are👏👏👏
I'm staggered by this talk. These two have a conversation that coalesces so many topics into a wonderful triumph. Thankyou so much!
This conversation is absolutely outstanding. I want to reach out and hug Mr. Gawdat as I can feel his pain when he talks about his beloved late son. 😔😔😔 What a generous, most intelligent and full of compassion man! His powerful, wise concepts are very helpful. I find his words soothing and a great lesson in life. Thanks so so much for this podcast. For me, THE best ever. I favourited this interview as I know I’m going to listen to it again and again. 👍❤️❤️
Respect to Mo. "Children come through us, they don't belong to us" 😔
"Ali is here in many forms but most importantly he is here in love". This coming from someone Who lost a sister and spent the last few years in total darkness and depression thank you for the conversation ❤❤
@@Kittykat4188 thanks for writing this as it shows how deeply you understand 🙏. I was never the same person after her literally down to every cell in my body.
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine the pain. I hope that each day gets a little better, somehow ❤️
❤
so sorry for your loss, I literally cannot IMAGINE a life without my sister, she's my best friend, the only person I can be myself around etc. I don't even feel like myself if I'm unaccompanied by her presence even for a little while, its like my inner child is stored within her presence, if I lose her, I'll forever lose my inner child and most likely never feel like myself again and might even lose my will to live so I know how you feel, I really hope you can heal
Every adult and kids should listen to Mo’s podcasts. He is so wise and humble. Thank you!!!!
Amazing podcast. Many people do confuse real happiness with the short temporary bursts of pleasure. They live a life of being ‘happy’ when things are going well and miserable when they believe things are not going as well because of their expectations and their sense of entitlement to how life ‘should be’ for them and it’s a real roller coaster ride. True happiness is more of a sense of overall peace and stability and being ok with ‘what is’ in the moment whether that is if your mind perceives it to be ‘good’ or ‘bad’ for you. It’s also not about not having or feeling any negative emotions such as anger or sadness etc, either. It’s just understanding their temporary nature, being ok with them as they are also ‘what is’ in the moment and then trying to let them go so that they don’t stay around longer than they need to. Normally our mind spins a story to constantly fuel them, which means they go on for longer, clouding our future judgements and therefore our actions.
Much much easier said than done though and extremely difficult in some circumstances. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and suffering that some people have had or are going through and this podcast is a perfect example. Life does however get much happier once this is taken on as a daily practice, or it most certainly has for me.
Well said, couldn't be more accurate. Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments.
Some people love being alone. You have to be happy with yourself as far as I'm concerned.
Many people need to be around people. I love hanging out with people a little but most the time I love being alone so I can watch these videos and learn.
@samkurz 💯 Join the club

This is one of the best podcasts I have ever had the pleasure to listen and watch, and so far, I am only 40 mins in. Mo Gawdat and Dr Rangan Chatterjee are true blessings to our world and I cannot express how much I am learning from you. I am journaling all of this as you speak. It is making a profound impact in my life and the way I want to lead it, going forward. I hope your insights, your conversation and my written recording of it also changes the lives of the people I hope one day will read it. I am committed to living my passion (which i am, as a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist specialising in Electronic Assistive Technology - my absolute passion), and I am reflecting on times in my career where I have portrayed my soul. I am dedicated to continue to portray my soul in all that I do, and all the roles I play in my life. I am committed to Living my Truth and to Live Truly to who I am, in all that I do, with all that I am with, to help change the world for the better.
A million thank you's for noticing incredible people in the world, creating and showcasing on a platform, your dedication is spreading.
Thank you, for your hearts, souls and your passion.
Sasha. x
Thank you for choosing the profession you did.
My son James had a life changing experience, because of a dedicated speech therapist like yourself.
Which in turn lead him to be on the Tyra Banks Show in Sept 2005 and receive the fluency master device
Needed all v that information l.....pffft
Happiness is found in the TRUTH of love, now we just need to connect the dots and unite before it's too late!
I put your other comment as feel its super important🥰😍🤩
I'm an artist by trade and vocation.. However, our society rarely values artists and has always told me that I'll never make enough money. I admit I am nearly always skint, but I've always thought that's the price for freedom.
Thought provoking podcast my friend.....one to contemplate 🤔...God bless 🙏
“to live fully through to who you are” brilliant❣️
( to truly know thyself!)
I have been reading Mo’s book ‘ Solve for Happy” after I saw a post by some I follow on IG. At the same time I looked him up on the Net and have been listening to all his talks, podcasts etc. I love his message, his ideas and the tips he gives us to change our unhappy ways. One of the best quotes is “ I choose to be happy”. Great podcast!
Very nice life concepts that some managers still do not see. Thanks to Covid I quit commuting to work and started working 100% from home. I feel much happier because thanks to those saved heartbeats I Live more.... I play with kids, fixing old cars that have price just to me, teaching my son to weld, work with wood, grow veggies etc. Happy indeed
I'm very happy for you. The simplest life is the best. Enjoy your time with your son. These are the days he will remember ❤
I'd do anything to be commuting to work. I miss human interaction. It's different when you have a family if your own.
This conversation was absolutely beautiful.. it also makes me believe more and more in the teachings of Santana Dharma (basically called as Hinduism) that wrote and taught about what life is and how it continues for eternity and this body is just a medium. Science has a lot of catching up to do with what has already been written in the Vedas and Upanishads thousands of years ago
They say cow piss cures cancer and corona 😂😂😂😂
Dr Rangan, this has to be my favorite interview with Mo Gawdat. It struck a chord so many times and was so easy to listen to and understand. My heart beats and breathing have slowed in the process of listening and watching this. Thank you both so much. Best wishes from Devon
This is Gold. Pure Gold.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I needed to hear this today. 💕
The name of this interview and the thumbnail undersold the content ***SO MUCH***!!!! This was 2hrs of the best and most wise life advice I've ever heard!! Can't wait to share this with my 20yo soon so he can benefit from Mo's wisdom at the front end of life. Thank you both and thank you Ali 🙏💖💕🙏
I really got a lot out of this interview and I’m so appreciative of the conversation. So many thoughts… I think I have to listen to it again.
“Happiness sits between events and your reactions towards them”… I was recently doing that without having realised , as it was an outcome of the magnitude of changes and turmoils I had been going through and I was happy to hear it here
This is one of the best episodes, basically best guest speaker I’ve listened too. Gave me such a different perspective on life.
So much wisdom to his words talking about Ali, that is spirituality. A scientist talking like that is so beautiful and free, the world has hope. Love his words and wisdom of living.
Dr Chatterjee, thank you 🙏 for your podcasts. They just keep getting better and better, and we love your intentional choice of interviewee. It’s life changing for us to be able to partake in listening to these conversations. With huge appreciation 🙏
God first. Love. Self love and gratitude. Helping others.
You guys have inspired me to feel and express what you're saying in my own way, to write poetry:
Taking heartbeats by yourself
feeling time has left you out
doing what you're told leads to wealth
and wins happiness within and without
yet feeling empty, sad, and ill of health
you crave love and want to shout
I feel more of me through commonwealth
So imagine, the fact that your son is part of everything and everyone, you have just made us aware of his being a n integral part me and yourself so much... Imagine therefore you are he who you speak to and all of us listening ❤
Hi Rangan, I loved your question where you asked what if the person is already helping people in general but its not their calling. The answer in my view and experience is this - a human can help other humans being in any profile regardless whether its their calling/passion or not. However, when we help people in a subject area that we love and are passionate about; then its not just that we are making others happy; but instead, we earn happiness for ourselves. More than others! And if we are happy then its a lot easier to keep the world happy around us. regards
Well said. TY
I like the way he intermittently goes “hmm” for extra confirmation and emphasis when making epic points
Dr Rangan’s podcasts are my most favourite go to listen to when I have questions or any troubled thoughts… this podcast I have shared with everyone I know as it is definitely the one you need to hear this year ♥️🙏🏼
To receive this message from this individual who has been through those experiences-I can’t help but feel empowered and accountable.
Best podcast I ve ever heard....especially about our expectations about life and how we can actually CHOOSE to be happy. I never thought about life like that!!THANK YOUXXXX
Being rich and affording anything in life doesn't make you happy if that is why you are buying expensive things, and hearing this from someone who has been able to afford anything would know this is true. Happiness is an inside job. What I have found ironic is that this wonderful gentleman and happiness expert. I don't think smiled even once during this interview. Unless I missed it.
Thank you for making a difference in the world, I would love to see a smile in the next interview. 🥰
@9:49
Wow. Out of ask of your podcasts and others I listen to regularly, this was hands down one of the most enlightening and so so emotional. Thank you to both of you for this wonderful message 🙏💚
“Life existed before the physical” 🤯 WOW!! ❤
This one podcast episode just changed my entire thought process. Thank You both I am so grateful.
"What a waste of heartbeats". Never heard life explained this way - it's as beautiful as it is tragic.
This was deep. Personal. And reflective. This is my first time coming across Mo, and what a wonderful brain. Thanks for sharing your story, always a privilege to learn.
The funny thing is that we don’t know it until we really go through all this journey then learn the lesson that being happy really doesn’t need that much things
So powerful, so profound, so thought provoking. What a pleasure to listen the wisdom attained through the worst imaginable pain
Every day we have lessons and teaching moments. Today I searched for a teaching moment and received a lesson that I can teach within my own young family. The moments like this are few, impact and power of perspective and context. My take away, listen more to your heart. Thank you for sharing so eloquently.
This podcast found me sad, depressed and unhappy after losing my dear brother Ali just a week a go.
I did not know I was ready to look for healing.
From what I have been listening and watching through this podcast, my brother Ali is a follower or a
believer.......practiced such wisdom in his life.
Thank you for this conversation.
May they both rest in peace.
Don’t be sad bro
Ali awaits you in the shores of the afterlife.
He is there, smiling, happy, he waves excitedly, I see him. He says to tell you he is ok and he will wait for you.
❤ God Bless You ❤❤
I adore Mo. He is smart and wise but so humble
This podcast with Mo G. Should be played on all National TV channels daily. To allow people to really live a life worth living .
Absolutely 💯
YES, AGREE, but for that you need somebody to listen . Regrettably many humans simply don't have the input ...
I could not get enough of this interview. Mo has so much insight and brought me to tears with his story. Please bring him back and other guests like him ❤
Such an amazing podcast .. simple, logical, setting realistic expectations, living in present , stop comparing your life with others , detachment from materialistic world, find something that is true to your heart .. few to define happiness. So resonate with this conversation.
You speak wise words Mo. I love just being, I get up at 3am at weekends to meditate. The silence and connection to the universe at that time is invaluable and inarticulate. Happiness is in simplicity and living in the moment, in my experience anyway.
What an absolutely beautiful and insightful conversation. There are no words possible to describe how much I have learned and loved, while sharing in this outstanding and moving podcast. Thank you both, and of course Ally, for all that you bring daily, to so many lives. Mine most certainly included.
I have never ever heard a more important and eyeopening podcast, amazing man!
What a gem of a conversation . 🎉Deeply moving and truly human. Absolutely valuable and very actionable. Thank you ❤
Mo is an incredible human. I hope that I am able to show a fraction of the empathy and compassion that he displays 🙏🏾
This is one of the most brilliant discussions I've had the pleasure to listen too. Time to focus on my happiness full time. I have been working on a book about happiness for years and so many inspirational comments throughout this chat.
GO PLAGIARIZE
the job of your dreams is not what it seems... this conversation is truly enlightening
Definitely prevention is better than cure. I love to help others build their well-being . How I got here was to help build my own. It was a long hard battle . Blessings to Mo and Rangan for highlighting the importance of living an authentic life.
A lot of issues for me in life stemmed from high school where I felt inadequate and not part of the “in” group.
It was after two divorces that I began to work on myself and do what made me happy, I came to know myself better, and I began to realize that material possessions did not make me happy, relationships made me happy. Also, I discovered that when we open up to life’s possibilities people come into your life. In the past I would have compared those people to the “perfect” people I wanted to be with, but I learned that nobody is perfectly happy and I started enjoying the people I was with.
Very smart, very deep and very noble man despite horrible tragedy tragedy that happened in his life,I hope there are and will be more humans like him.Only hope for humanity to survive😊 in near and foseable future!
I love this interview. Well done Rangan and Mo. Tremendous advice and thought provoking. One of my favourite interviews, and I'm sure life changing for people.
This is my favorite podcast ever and I have listened to many at this point. I wish I could hear it for the first time again, but that can't happen. Will definitely listen again all the same.
Thank you for this interview. This man has offered so much insight and given me much to think about. I have often thought that I would like to look at death differently. Not only that, the entire interview was just amazing. He is a man if much wisdom. I'm so thankful that he cared enough to share his story. His son sounds like he was an amazing young man. It would have been such a shame if was never was born. I plan on listening again because I'm sure I can glean even more from the interview, the second time. Well done!
One of the best soul nourishing and brain empowering podcast 🙏🏽
I agree with others over here, that this has to be the best podcast I have listened to. Incredible thoughts by Mo, will listen to this podcast again and again to learn more from it, and thank you for the great work. 🙏🏻
wisdom is uncommon... it's so special when you encounter it... this is very special.
This topic should be discussed with more people, having realizations like these or similar. This touched me deeply having lost a loved one as well. Talking with him as well, inside my head and heart, even though he left this world 8 years ago. ♥️
I thank God that I learned these lessons at an early age. I am valuable because I am an energy source put here on the Earth for a purpose. I don't need material goods to define me.
