    Naval is the father, caring brother’s figure I wished to have growing up .. also listening to him as an adult I feel I was able to choose and learn to be so comfortable with myself before to face the society turning weaknesses & lack into strength and had to figuring out along the way we are kind of all the same with our own individuality, and at some point you’ll find your people to enjoy this journey with after you met and build the foundation for/in yourself and overcome adversities with more ease..
    I just enjoy how life works by given us so many gifts and opportunities when we are ready to hear, see and receive, like knowing people like him exist, sharing the same planet and think the way he thinks giving me this inner boost of positivity as we are all connected to each other without to know each other.

  • @jackdavis2910
    @jackdavis2910 Рік тому +2

    The speaker discusses his youthful "jealousy", but "envy" is the more correct word. Although many people consider “envy” and “jealousy” synonymous, they actually have distinct meanings. Envy is “the painful feeling of wanting what someone else has, like attributes or possessions.” If you're jealous, you feel “threatened, protective, or fearful of losing one's position or situation to someone else.” I would suggest that in our youth we suffer more from envy of what others have. With age and experience,as we accumulate assets and honors, we shift more towards jealousy.

    1:55:21 The idea that you’re going to change something in the outside world and that is going to bring you the peace and everlasting joy and the happiness that you deserve, that is a fundamental delusion that we all suffer from, including me. The mistake over and over and over is to say, “Oh, I’ll be happy when I get that thing, whatever that is.” That’s the fundamental mistake that we all make, including me, 24/7, all day long.

    • @stevemason2785
      @stevemason2785 3 роки тому +1

      Hi Atisha,, Naval did not mention any book around the 20:16 point in this podcast. "Atomic Habits" is a book authored by James Clear. I have not read it but it got good reviews. You may benefit from it....or not. As Naval mentioned early in the podcast, (around the 10:00 mark) your choice of books should lean toward books you enjoy and benefit you. Naval is a reader who jumps from book to book and does not always finish a book he is reading. Sometime he will read until the book bores him then moves on to another. That is his style, Like you, I listened to this pod cast, partly, for book ideas. If you want Naval's entire reading list, go to farnamstreetblog.com/podcast . Good luck in your adventure !
