Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. Gad Saad discuss his newly published book, “The Saad Truth about Happiness: 8 Secrets for Leading the Good Life.” They also discuss the parasitic ability that ideas can have on the human mind, the predictors for left wing authoritarianism, the evolutionary argument for why humans are spiritual beings, the biblically rooted idea that divinity exists and manifests within rather than from without, the connections between religiosity and true happiness, and how the spirit of play is integral to living a meaningful life. Gad Saad, Ph.D is a Canadian author, professor, podcaster, researcher, and public speaker. Saad was born in 1964 to a Jewish family (Considers himself culturally Jewish, though he is spiritually atheist) in Beirut, Lebanon, before his family fled to Canada in order to escape the Lebanese civil war in 1975. Saad earned his B.Sc. and M.B.A at McGill University, followed by an M.Sc. and a Ph.D from Cornell University. Since 1994, Saad has been a professor in marketing at the John Molson School of Business at Concordia University, Quebec.

What is the unconscious and do you really have one? Jungian psychology and the Yogācāra school of Buddhism both investigated the depths of the human psyche. Both proposed the existence of a hidden layer beneath our everyday conscious mind. In the way they understood this hidden (unconscious) mind, Jung and the Buddhists agreed on some essential points, but not on all. Both the similarities of their views and their differences give us fascinating insights into the functioning of our own psyches. #philosophy #wisdom #buddhism #carljung #psychology #unconscious ⭐ Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/seeker2seeker 💰PayPal Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=28CCPBHAFUUX8 📨 Subscribe with email: https://www.seekertoseeker.com/esoteric-circle ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Ālayavijñāna from a Practical Point of View (Nobuyoshi Yamabe) ▶ Subliminal Mind in Analytical Psychology and Yogacara Buddhism (Jinkeon Moon) ▶ Buddhist theory of Unconscious Mind (ālaya-vijñāna) (William S.

You’ve heard about your ‘lizard brain’. But what about the other two? ❍ Subscribe to The Well on YouTube: https://bit.ly/welcometothewell ❍ Up next: Why confirmation bias kills your brain https://youtu.be/a7rZ6y9Gn_8 What's the best way to think about the brain? While most of us think of it as a dense gray matter that’s separate from the physical body, that actually couldn’t be further from the truth. Our brain is actually made up of 3 layers, and each layer not only directly impacts the other, but has control over the physical body and how you feel. Neurologist Robert Sapolsky explores these separate brain systems as individual characters, all with different goals and motives. The brain comes in 3 functional layers: the reptilian brain, the limbic system, and the cerebral cortex. The reptilian brain controls the regulatory systems in your body like hormones, body temperature, blood pressure, and even hunger. The limbic system is the emotional function of your brain, making you feel fear, anger, joy, or gratitude. Finally, the cerebral cortex is the most evolved part of the brain that oversees impulse control, decision making, and long-term planning. With a better understanding of how each part of the brain functions, we can have more mindful thoughts that will influence more favorable decision-making and outcomes in life. For example, when you think of your favorite memory or something that makes you happy, your reptilian brain will quickly cool down your body and even lower your blood pressure. This can then lead to feeling less stressed, and finding more joy throughout the day.

There is an inherent asymmetry between wanting and giving: wanting is free, but giving is costly. This is why wanting is such a good interpersonal strategy, and why -- the more successful you become as a man -- the more you should expect more women to want more things from you. However, your time, energy, and money are limited quantities that cannot be doled out on request. So learning to reject women is a skill. In this episode, I discuss some of the beliefs that prevent men from doing this effectively.
