Can you talk about sticking with habits, productivity etc. when you're grieving? obviously grief puts you in an existential crisis as well so your whole world view is flipped. how do you keep going?
Also for many experiencing loneliness and alienation in this world. All of these videos are just geared at individual automatons which works for some but probably alot fewer.
@@avertingapathy3052 I often see this kind of critique levelled at productivity/grind/hustle culture oriented youtubers, but I actually think it's inaccuarate here. Newport has many videos that specifically include or assume engagement with community (especially his videos on "the deep life" and the various stacks there). If anything, I think his videos are more about how to keep work isolated and to a minimum, which isn't really what I think when I think of individual automatons, as it creates the space for socialisation.
My mistake. I think it's probably just the format of all the hustle culture channels and the somewhat dry pragmatic/operational presentation that might be giving me the wrong vibe. To be fair, it is still more difficult for someone isolated to follow all of this advice, much like someone grieving or dealing with mental health, the stressors are probably much higher than to truly use this vs someone nested in a community with various support structures. Guess I'll stash it until I can find some support or inspiration. It's quite clearly more of a dry manual and assumes you have the former.
I'm an ACT therapist, and can attest to how effective ACT can be for social anxiety. Happiness Trap by Russ Harris is the best entry point, as Cal said.
Glad to catch this release, thanks for the consistently applicable content. I can really relate to the topic around getting started and love the idea of circling. I am an ideas person and although I’m full of fascinating possibilities and interesting connections- it’s overwhelming! So to put all those ideas and urges into a list of circling potentials gives me permission to appreciate them and see if they take root. Like the gardening analogy, circling is like planting the seeds into a plant tray and seeing who sprouts and roots and which ones die straight away. And to take that one step further, even if it can grow roots I get to then choose which ideas I WANT to plant in my garden and which stay in the greenhouse. Another great podcast. Thanks for modeling the strategies you teach
13:35 🔥🔥 This has got to be the most mind-blowing wordplay I've come across in 2023! 🌟😱 You've brilliantly intertwined the spirit of our time into a single sentence. 🌍🤩 #WordplayGoals #GeniusLevel #ZeitgeistMastery
1:09:13 came here to make exactly this point, and also to note that whatever arguments might be made re productivity and capitalism, it was Marx's position that man is a doer and a maker in the way that other animals aren't, that it's a fundamental drive in humanity. It's exploitation that makes this a political question; avoiding our nature (doing nothing) in order to stick it to capitalism is not the way!
I am very curious about this point, do you know of anyone that discusses "man as a doer" and the "virtue" of the working life from a socialist/anti-capitalist/anti-exploitation point of view? I put these terms in quotes because I'm still trying to form an opinion on them.
What are your takes on the movie Whiplash? Cuz it seems to align with the idea of performing beyond expectations, but it's really different in its methods. Also I find the show Arcane pretty interesting in terms of scientific research, isolation, ethics
I love all your episodes, but this one had extra powerful information. Thank you!
Great vid! Let's all raise money to buy Cal a new shirt.
You play too much lol 😅
🤣

This is a very important point, and it's not only about grieving, it's also relevant to everyone who struggles with mental health in general.
Very much need conversation

Cal mentions to go to the blog to comment on the videos, but I don’t see any comments there, only here.
Great ideas!!
