I really want to say thank you, I belive your channel and content is best in the youtube, I live in Iran i can't do mony stuff! becuse of sanctions, mybe one day I can... all i can do now to share your content with others. Go strong my friend
Just finished watching the video. I want to point out the following: 1) This video kicks ass, and is an excellent 2nd part. 2) I learned a lot from this video. 3) Regardless of however well this video performs, You are fucking killing it mate. The editing, animation, writing, and topic are on point. 4) You are helping in building a better society Will.
I was wondering if someone would ask this! The answer is it has impacted my life for the better (by a lot a lot), but I should take quite a bit of time to answer in full.
One thing I've loved about these videos is how beautifully you weave together so many different sources throughout time and place. Just beautifully done, sir.
In fact, from a Buddhist viewpoint, we don't eliminate craving by cultivating just non-attachment. The main antidote to craving is the wisdom of dependent-arising. This is still simplistic, of course, and Later Buddhist schools don't see craving as the root of suffering. In later Buddhist schools, the antidote is a union of wisdom (of dependent arising) and compassion.
This vid dropping really tested my resolve to stay away from anything with an algorithm for a week. But I persevered and was rewarded with this excellent mastahPEECE. Autonomy preserved!
Definition of underated content. The kind of thing I would expect everyone to he taught at school. This having 15k views and people screaming at games getting millions shows why people are never able to actually attain flow, or do anything meaningful. Love your content, keep posting.
I'm generally impressed with the amount of commentary that basically vivifies my effusive praise on part 0. This really will become something necessary for the Entire UA-cam community.
This has been the single most important video I’ve ever watched in my life. This explains why I have such high expectations and why my moods vary... I will rewatch this until I have it memorized this was SO useful thank you so much Will for making this video and taking your time to put it together in such an easily digestible and understandable way. Seriously I think this is gonna help me make the change I need to start being more happy and appreciative of my life
Ever since your last video before this series, eight books that changed my life, I've often revisited this channel only to find no new uploads, which was a bit disappointing, because I thoroughly enjoyed your channel. This series however, has been well worth the wait. Your videos are already on a different level and standard than almost anything on youtube, and you've managed to not only accomplish the same feat again with your first two videos of the series, you've also managed to make them exceptionally good on your already exceptionally good channel! I'm extremely appreciative of these videos, the new perspectives they offer and the work you do, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. Keep up the fantastic work!
Wow . If the whole series was out , I'd have watched it all in one go . I can't imagine the amount of work you put in this. Why is this not on trending . Where are the people ?
I'm not saying I completely understood or took to heart what you presented in these 2 videos but they somehow helped me a LOT. They presented me with knowledge and perspectives previously unknown to me and having clinical depression, never once the "professionals" that should've helped me to improve my condition ever came close to presenting such information. It's uncanny how both of these videos came talking about specific things I needed to hear in that exact moment. This comment may be lost in the sea of comments, but if you get to read this I want you to know you really helped me by showing me "roads" I couldn't see before and they really had a great impact on my overall mental health. So thank you, Sir, for researching and presenting this information in the best way possible. Thanks for helping me.
You're videos are amazing, the amount of effort and care that goes into them shows. "You're a strange loop" Forever altered my path in life, the endless journey of understanding one or all selves. It's a pleasure to watch each of your videos, i hope they thrive, but know that the small community you have now appreciates them. Although for now they are not viral, the impact is profound.
goddamn, this is legit some of the best video content ever produced, period. it's astounding. I'm tellin ya, spend some time messing with the titles + thumbnails of these underperforming vids. I feel like they're practically being sabotaged by their underwhelming pre-click presentation as it stands tbh. many of your vids deserve way more views than they've gotten.
This deserves way way more likes and views. Just saw a comment you left on another post addressing that the vida take 2-3 months to make. I got confused and thought all the videos were already done but i see you just meant outlined now. I thought you were withholding the goodies for no reason! Anyway- have been checking back frequently for the next video because your content is on a whole other level. Take as long as you need- and thank you for the amazing content.
This is so awesome, I can imagine the time you have spent on making the video. What I like the most is you cover the subject in every aspect and answering all the questions that come into my mind.. thank you.
I subbed to your channel from your Bojack Horseman video! really excited to watch this when I get the time. Just so you know, people might not get that this is epsiode 2 of a series instead of a standalone video since the "episode 2" is covered by the time stamp in the thumbnail. You might want to address that, but it also says "Happier" so people may still get it.
i think when you had the idea of making videos on happiness and you summed up all things you wanna say only to know that it takes a series of 14 episodes of an hour each. it's amazing to see you take a break and come up with something like this. i feel you had a great time making this. as a person who takes pleasure in watching your content i wanna thank you. thank you.
@@schodes i cant wait to see what your channels grows out to be in a few years ( or decades!). a little suggestion if you might consider, I would like to see more small videos like the one you made on to-do lists. just a few here and there would be great, anything you can come up with on top of your head. you seem to be able to synthesize topics really well. thanks for taking time to reply. I'm your fan all the way from India. cheers!
Bravo!! Thank you for this summary of "The Foundations of Happiness". A world with more people exercising their full potential, is world better for all. Innovation would accelerate, and humanity would secure it's long-term survival.
I'm at a loss... I can't think of anything insightful to add to the discussion... So I'll just say thank you! I really needed this right now. I'm sure others do too.
I am leaving this comment to help the algoritm but also to say that I really apreciate the work put into this video and others on your channel! Thank you!
Okay so I was taking notes while watching this video. And when you introduced Schoder as the S in SOARS, I paused the video and actually wrote it down..
Thank you very mucho for this second episode. It has been educational and I truly enjoyed it. I will continue supporting on patreon and hope to see more in the future! All the best, Nino
Bravo! Quality work, hope you're proud. These episodes are saved to re-watch them later, because yeah, you've packed a lot in there! Also gonna visit the sources you've listed. Thanks Will!
This series is fascinating and very helpful for autistic folks like myself! It's really hard to figure out what people mean when they talk about happiness or autonomy or relatedness, so exploring these definitions and examples really helps ground some of these concepts
when you animated JS Mills head as 3 different heads I was mind-blown! This is not just a well done video, this is more than that every frame has it's own animations, the trees that are moving, the complex backgrounds and the animated smoke, Holyshit Will! I hope you enjoyed all this because certainly as an animator myself I truly enjoyed watching this video artistically and intellectually. This subject has always been on my mind for the past 3 years and just know that I'll take every piece of info on this video and spread it to my wide circle of friends, and not just give them the link of the video but discuss with them the topic itself and encourage them to pursue their own contentment and happiness.
Thanks Ayman, love to have another animator see the complexity! Thank you for your appreciation and I'm glad you not only enjoyed the animation, but the topic as well.
Thank you for making this video! I can't find the words to express how important and powerful your work is. If I have to be honest my heart sank when I saw the amount of views this video has. I'll share it on every social network that I have an account for and I implore others to do the same.

This video is soooo good. I find myself always coming back to watch the 3 part series. Going to probably be back here in a few months. Might even download it in case UA-cam dies

Just finished watching the video.
I want to point out the following:
1) This video kicks ass, and is an excellent 2nd part.
2) I learned a lot from this video.
3) Regardless of however well this video performs, You are fucking killing it mate. The editing, animation, writing, and topic are on point.
4) You are helping in building a better society Will.
agreed. :) Will videos are life changing
This guy is spitting facts. Your work is fucking amazing Will. Fucking amazing. Please keep up the amazing stuff
I swear, there should be a "Schoder Theory of Happiness", because every time you upload you make my day. Thanks!
dawww thank you
i cant agree more with that statement
You've obviously spent a large amount of time researching happiness. How has this research impacted your life/ well-being?
I was wondering if someone would ask this! The answer is it has impacted my life for the better (by a lot a lot), but I should take quite a bit of time to answer in full.
@@schodes Please do! I'd love to hear about it too.

Oh man, this is a treat. So many original motion graphics! And this is part 2 of 14? Come on trending!
hey you know trending would be a plus, but having SunsetBlvd515 here is all i need
@@schodes that is so wholesome. With this much effort, you definitely deserve trending
@@schodes “No, You're Breathtaking!" xD
I wish I had college courses that were this high quality. Keep this up!
one of my goals from the start was to make something better than a college course
@@schodes Achievement Unlocked
I wish Will was my professor
@@calvinMcollins that got me laughing for a bit haha
Leaving a comment now for the algorithm and coming back to watch tonight
One thing I've loved about these videos is how beautifully you weave together so many different sources throughout time and place. Just beautifully done, sir.

Algorithm be kind to This amazing man.
Thank you for putting ads at right place and giving break to think each component...yeah it was great video
you know it homie
Here I am, watching all the ads just so this can get its well deserved support. Amazing content, as always.
Thanks Belen! I know ads are a pain, but you've got the right attitude--it does help me.
Thank you for putting so much hard work and passion into this series, truly looks to be a labor of love!
That's the kind of serie I didn't know I want it. I love it so much. I've been wanting something like that for so long.
i think im coming to this series of happiness like twice a week or something like that. Just refreshing and amazing to learn all this stuff. Thnks !!
Let the algorithm be with you
I’ve literally been checking your channel on and off for the past month, and finally... it’s here.
HYPE!
I made a habit out of checking UA-cam every morning just for this. It was worth it. Thank you, Will. This is now my favorite channel.
come on youtube, do your thing, this is some of the highest quality content on the platform right now
Wow . If the whole series was out , I'd have watched it all in one go . I can't imagine the amount of work you put in this. Why is this not on trending . Where are the people ?
UA-cam isn't really the right medium for this kind of content to be honest. I'm fighting against the river current, and I have no problem with it.
I really hope you continue this series! It is so well done and deserves so much more attention!!!
I'm not saying I completely understood or took to heart what you presented in these 2 videos but they somehow helped me a LOT.

As always a fantastic video, I really admire your work will. I am loving the series!
This is a masterpiece of the internet. May Arceus bless your life Will.
Who?
Thank you for the 2nd episode Will. Watching this is time well spent.
I’m happy that I have some really good content to watch with my tea this evening.

One of the best things on UA-cam right now. Thanks man.
omg never been so happy to see a video pop up on my sub feed, miss your videos mate
Fantastic video. Thanks Will.
Ryan's videos are great and all, but I don't think they ever impacted someone's life as much as yours.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Will.
Hey Vincent, thank you. Preciate you. When you say Ryan's videos--do you mean Richard Ryan?
Spectacular. So much to think about. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Damn! I needed this video.
This series is defninitely one I will and will need to watch regularly. Amazing, thanks.
