Just started reading this book after seeing Deepak Chopra on Oprahs Tour last night.. I LOVEEEE it so far.. Definitely going to apply the laws I have learned thus far immediately!
You have touched on something that I felt too, I was at university studying philosophy, but feeling my mind open & constrained by this parrot fashion learning we are forced into. I had no real desires to gain a qualification as I had so many questions of my own. I eneded up taking root in the library, studying what interested me, then I had a family crisis that gave me an excuse to leave. I praise you for following your darma, we do not all have a business to sell to help us achieve our goals.
Inspiring summary. Sounds like you truly heard you're calling and follow your bliss. You are living the hero's journey. I'm curious- you often mention how you used to be a rat to your iPhone, as am I, but that you managed to completely detach yourself from that addiction. Is there a video where you discuss more of that that I have not stumbled upon yet? I would love to hear the story of what made you finally break away.
Hmmmm... Not yet!! I'm going to do Unplugged 101 at some point. (I haven't turned my phone on in months and it's amazing. :) Optimize is now free! Sign up/tell your friends! www.optimize.me
+Brian Johnson Unplugged 101 sounds intriguing. Just what I need. You have not turned on your phone in months? Is that even possible??? Do you ever use the phone to just make phone calls? Sadly, my phone is my shadow. I just can't help it. I'm working on some detachment from it. I started meditating a few weeks ago in the mornings and I'm trying to limit the number of times I look at social media sites. It is out of a sense of boredom and a need to keep my mind busy. I'm trying to change that. There is no reason for my mind to be so busy! On a side note, I am mortified by my spelling errors in my original question. I guess that is what I get for using voice recognition on my iPhone and not proofreading with my reading glasses on! Ha. I'm really enjoying your work and glad that I discovered you about a month or so ago. Today I received a Philosopher's Notes and I'm looking forward to reading it. :) have an awesome day.

Brian you ROCK! Thank U. So, here's the thing - I feel like I'm working my way down the funnel & I'm gaining more & more clarity about my Dharma - you know, trying this & that & discovering that - yes this is moving me closer or nah, that's not quite it but I have a question - when it comes to following my bliss (and the law of least effort) what is fear & anxiety telling me? How do I know if it's fear to work through or fear telling me this is not it? UGH. It doesn't feel that blissful. Ideas?
@PhilosophersNotes Thanks Brian! I appreciate your feedback. I really enjoyed the video link you sent me on fear and expectations - good stuff and great exercises! :) I also wanted to let you know that I had an even BIGGER shift occur when I watched "The Wheel of Time" PNTV episode #58 and read the PDF Philosophers Note - the key to my shift came with the question you shared... "Does this path have heart?" Awesome! Thank you! Have a fabulous day! Much love, Lori
Now that was an awesome video thanks for sharing your story Brian, sometimes a real story is better to understand a principle(for me at least)! Thanks again and have a nice day!

I'm glad I've come across this video after all these years. I'm in the similar situation after the Covid pandemic

@lorimage99 Thanks!! And what a great question. Altho I don't have a simple answer that will fit in
Too much self promotion, too little quality content.
Thanks.
