    Who's in there? | How to become self-aware | Spirituality

    Consciousness is the only thing you can be sure of, and the hardest thing to study: you can't know what it's like to be anyone else. Why bother? Our views on it decide whom we include in our moral circles, and studying it can raise our wellbeing. How to become self-aware: study your own consciousness (watch your thoughts, decompose them, find the observer), widen your circle to animals, plants and maybe AIs, and try this week's challenge. Chapters 0:00 What is consciousness? 1:55 Study yourself 6:23 Expand your circle 11:25 AIs 12:41 This week’s challenge The full post: https://www.euzoia.org/p/how-to-become-self-aware Every week, one principle of a good life: https://www.euzoia.org

    Life’s biggest mystery | How to feel awe | Spirituality

    Isn't it crazy that we exist? The mystery isn't how, physics and evolution explain that, but that any of this exists at all. We can't prove theories about that, but we can do science on how it affects us: feeling awe tames our ego, makes us feel smaller and thereby better, and more prosocial and generous. How to feel awe: find something vast, ground yourself, and, if you want to go further, dive deeper. Chapters 0:00 Life’s biggest mystery 1:02 Why bother 1:55 Find something vast 3:20 Billions of lives 4:15 Ground yourself 6:21 Dive deeper 8:28 Start now The full post: https://www.euzoia.org/p/3d0b74c1-dd9a-4a9e-afd2-3eb7ee3e9020 Every week, one principle of a good life: https://www.euzoia.org

    My Violin Mistake | How to pick a hobby | Play

    Why do people collect cards, play chess, grow vegetables or race cars? Hobbies have a wealth of evidence for intrinsic fulfillment, autonomy and mental, physical and cognitive health, but not all hobbies are created equal. How to pick a good one (it draws you in, it stacks your interests, it fits your life), how to double down (explore then exploit, make it social, tune the dose), and how to achieve pointless mastery: start with play, weave in deliberate practice, and practice for mastery, not to win. Chapters 0:00 Why hobbies 0:42 Violin 1:02 A good hobby 2:18 Fit your life 3:01 Practice 4:30 Mastery 5:14 Play, then practice 6:41 Pointless mastery 7:19 Try it 8:20 Next week The full post: https://www.euzoia.org/p/5c0085c1-d808-42f3-8007-82018a3ca4b0 Every week, one principle of a good life: https://www.euzoia.org This is a public episode.

    Burning Man, without the desert

    Meta | How to make decisions

    How to make decisions Decisions are all around us, all the time — and getting better at them has more leverage on your life than each topic we share here in isolation.
