Picked up your book "Don't Believe Everything You Think" at the beginning of 2023 and just got around to finishing it up just today. The book, like your video here, provides relatable examples that the everyday person can really apply to their lives. This is important work you are doing Joseph and is much appreciated!!
Hold up?!! Are you serious 😂I'm reading this right now and wanted some reiteration to make it stick, I didn't look at the username until I read the comment.
Sir, you have a RUclips🥹 thank you🎉❤ I will comment on Amazon when I'm done reading it, you deserve it! This video with the book is above and beyond. Words can't really say how grateful I am.
It's also important for parents to know these truths because when parents find self love and self forgiveness they become examples of self esteem for their children.
I’m going to buy your new boundaries book. Maybe your next book should be on intuition. Maybe get stories from people that either did, or didn’t follow their intuition. Also include helpful tips like you never need to know the outcome and our own wounds affect how our decision-making in following our intuition. From my own experience, intuition is one of the hardest things to follow because you get so much resistance from your own mind that it can make you ignore something that’s coming right at you.
Exactly Joseph , That's what i felt & understood too. If a thought is disturbing our peace , either way is , we just put higher superiority of thought in. That'll deplete the lower thought. Or in Mechanism. We make the thought higher by constantly believing it gonna work out. It's higher , it's divine. & so it works out too. Problem comes , When we realise , we atleast have to take the hold of one thought. Weather positive or negative. Can't we free of both ? No dependency at all. No win-lose game. Thoughts are neutral. But our motives give them energy & Attention. This is so true.
Yes! The more we can let go, the more we grow. We will naturally have more experiences of love and joy when we let go of any thinking weighing us down. It is our nature to expand and we are the only things in our way.
Hi... Thanks for writing this book. Believe me or not ! I can't get over this book. I read it every other day repetitively. It's my favourite and of all the books I read still this one stays on the top. Also.. I feel like i am improved in myself a better high self . I am whole heartedly grateful for you .. Thank you so so much❤
I just finished this book. The me before reading the book and the me now after reading the book have changed a lot. Every topic in the book is explained in such a beautiful way that it is impossible to explain it in words. I wish you write more books like this. Love you sir .🩷
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,299 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
That is so beautiful! Yes you are correct that it doesn’t matter what other channels do or have. All that matters is that you are enjoying the creation itself and not focusing on the external numbers. Thank you for expressing and sharing yourself with the world!
@@itsjosephnguyen Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my RUclips channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a RUclipsr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this RUclips thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
@MarSarFishin-ws7qk Thank you! What I really focus on is the value of the content and what I’m truly passionate about while helping others! I'm glad that I'm foolish enough to believe that I can actually start making money through my passions. I've never thought that I'd be able to gain more than 2k subs faster. I can't imagine how many opportunities could have been wasted if I didn't have courage to go after them. That includes having this channel, being in a management role, having the people who actually care about me for who I am, freelance gigs, being an ambassador in a creative community and now I'm also planning on honing my public speaking skills through joining a toastmaster club and these all happened in 2023. It started with writing them all down on a piece of paper. A paper that serves as a reminder for me to go after what I want even through hard times. I'm not bragging about my accomplishments but simply hoping that this message can also inspire others to believe in themselves.
@MarSarFishin-ws7qk Thanks! Recognizing the impermanence of life also gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel. Recently, I uploaded my longest video not too long ago, which is about an hr long and it doubled the number of my subs and watch time hours and most of all, I've been impacting more lives positively and this is the best part of it all. I created this to share my opinion about these main things that truly impacted the way I live and how I became a minimalist. It's the one most vulnerable videos that I had been hesitant to post for many months because of the fear of being misunderstood but I finally decided to overcome that fear so others can learn from my experience so we can all grow together. Remembering my why's is much more important than the analytic growth. Sometimes I get trapped in focusing on any external rewards from this channel to the point that it paralyzes me from taking actions and I think this is what makes most people not even start at all.
In the new world, the world of information, new things are coming at us every second but we aren’t prepared for this. I have always craved deep discussions, like what you speak about. But so many people around us are distracted so the conversations do not happen. What you are doing is opening up the dialogue for a world full of overwhelmed individuals. Thank you Joseph, for being you and for inspiring others. Peace be with you! ❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Joseph! The part about karma as the inability to let go of negative emotions and comes back stronger is really enlightening. As a Cambodian woman, I would often hear from other women that karma is something you have to accept as a punishment for doing something wrong in your past life, it's a pain you must endure and you can't escape it. But that thought never really made much sense to me, do I just stop trying to make my life better if I encounter hardship, when should I stop? Childhood, middle age, old age? How do I even know what I did wrong in my past life if I have no recollection of it? Do I just assume it was bad because I am in a bad situation right now? So the idea that karma is a lesson you need to learn makes a lot of sense. It comes back as punishment only when you haven't learned the lesson it's there to teach you.
I just completed your book. While I thought I loved and understood the book Living Untethered, yours took the cake for the easiest to understand and grasp about the mind and awareness. Thank you for writing it!
Hi joseph your book is soo useful to me. I read 📖 1 month before. I got me clarity my life, while i drive my bike suddenly my negative thoughts are coming while suddenly i come infrount of my eyes u r book # DONT BELIEVE every think u think ❤ thank you brother 👍
Thank you ❤️ your videos have changed my life tremendously. I've been showing my closest friends your content because I want to share love and peace with them.
I highly appreciate your book. It is definitely worthy of recommendation to individuals seeking to enhance their mental well-being and discover inner tranquility.
@@itsjosephnguyen I've finished reading your book *Don't Believe Everything You Think* and it's been a game changer for me. The Book is short but Powerful. Cheers!
Very interesting video of thinking , believing in the thoughts principles. I have bought your book and found it very interesting. I was earlier exposed to these ideas from dr David burns , Dr Joe vitale, and some more authors. Your teachings or speech or this video gives out further polished refined more easily understandable ways to learn about thoughts and beliefs. Thanks for the fine episode . I enjoyed it thoroughly
I'm very grateful it resonates and is more easily understood. It can be quite difficult to distill these complex subjects in a simple and understandable without losing the potency of the message, but I am joyful it came through.
Thank you so much for this video! Absolutely amazing and I so needed it right now in my life. I need to hear these words. The way you explain it made me resonate so much with it. I read you book which was the most beautiful book I read. You are the most wonderful person I have come across. Please don't stop sharing your wisdom. I need it, we need it, the world needs it. Peace and love xoxoxoxo
loved this, your way of talking feels very compassionate. It feels real but not too new age-y or esoteric. Makes me wonder what kind of personal challenges and mental struggles youve been through, for you to come out on the other side embracing love.. i wish you all the peace and love in the world, as well as everyone else watching this video❤ ps, cat meow at 14:20
The being you are referring to we call Soul. Soul has 3 faculties mind, intellect and sanskars. There is recording within the soul in the form of sanskars which comes up as thoughts in the mind and we have no control over it. But, obviously Soul has the power like you mentioned the power of belief and power of attention that makes some thoughts come alive (when the soul identifies itself with a particular thought and clings on to it). All I the soul have to do is be a detached witness like you already mentioned here... Would be really helpful to you if you could get the whole picture...though you mentioned somewhere that you would not be interested in diving deeper into the aspect of "Who am I". Thoughts are within me but I am thoughtless
This is the same message as in A Course In Miracles (ACIM). Choose love over fear. There really is not a choice though since there is only love according to ACIM. Fearful thoughts are just illusions.
Your book really started me on an important mental health journey and I feel so blessed I was recommended to read it. Do you think you can do any videos on handling break ups? I'm struggling with letting go and accepting that most things are out of my control. I want to be free of this pain because I know it's not really mine to hold onto.
I friend, who is partway through reading your book, Don’t Believe Everything You Think, recommended it to me and others in the group that we are a part of. Curious about who you are, I tried to find some information to no avail. It would be good and perhaps helpful if you let people know a bit more about you. In placing the title of your book in the search bar on RUclips, I found several Ted Talks. Not sure what to make of your book even after reading to page 48.
First off let me appreciate your looks damn you are soo handsome hahah. Okay so anyways, I can't express enough gratitude for you and the profound impact your work has had on my journey with OCD. As someone who has grappled with the relentless waves of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, discovering your book has been nothing short of a lifeline. It helped so much during those hard times.
I'm grateful it could help you on your journey. It is not easy grappling with the mind but the fact that you have decided to face it despite knowing what the outcome could be is what true courage is. Keep doing what you're doing because it's working. Keep sharing your love and light!
@@pratham9765 thank you for your concern btw. I've made significant progress and am in a much better place overall. However, there are still occasional challenges tho. But yeah still I am doing fine.
this is merely a thought i just had and don't want to water down: to me, even thinking a (limiting) belief needs to be investigated, unraveled, and understood inside and out via some process such as talk therapy and the like, is just a form of procrastination because we're actually still emotionally attached to the belief. we think we're giving it the proper respect, but the fact of the matter is it just needs to be flushed down the toilet like any other unhelpful thought. once you have the basic concept of the book, it becomes easier and easier with practice. but because some beliefs seemed to oppress us for so long, we think they deserve additional decorum via sunk cost fallacy - is this 100% true and resonant for everyone and every situation? i can't know and don't believe it fully, as it's just a thought i just spontaneously had... haven't exactly spent 10 years testing it and observing it yet
But what if someone tells you that you are rude. Shouldn't I find out if I am rude instead of just letting it go and believing that I am not rude, when in fact I am?
It comes down to intention. Were you intentionally trying to harm someone? It always helps to find out why someone is reacting a certain way, but even after we explain why we did something, and they still do not accept it even when it comes from a place of love, it is not something we can control and thus must let go of. If we do not let go, we are the ones who suffer.
Picked up your book "Don't Believe Everything You Think" at the beginning of 2023 and just got around to finishing it up just today. The book, like your video here, provides relatable examples that the everyday person can really apply to their lives. This is important work you are doing Joseph and is much appreciated!!
I’m truly grateful you feel that way! I hope it has and will continue to help you on your journey. Much love ❤

Whatever you resist persists

Let go of the belief in thought, to let go of suffering - its one of my fav quotes from your book

So the idea that karma is a lesson you need to learn makes a lot of sense. It comes back as punishment only when you haven't learned the lesson it's there to teach you.
I love your simple but profound explanations on thought/ thinking.
Most coaches tend to over complicate this understanding

Can you share about subjet: Talk easy do hard
this is merely a thought i just had and don't want to water down: to me, even thinking a (limiting) belief needs to be investigated, unraveled, and understood inside and out via some process such as talk therapy and the like, is just a form of procrastination because we're actually still emotionally attached to the belief. we think we're giving it the proper respect, but the fact of the matter is it just needs to be flushed down the toilet like any other unhelpful thought. once you have the basic concept of the book, it becomes easier and easier with practice. but because some beliefs seemed to oppress us for so long, we think they deserve additional decorum via sunk cost fallacy - is this 100% true and resonant for everyone and every situation? i can't know and don't believe it fully, as it's just a thought i just spontaneously had... haven't exactly spent 10 years testing it and observing it yet
So letting go is accepting?
But what if someone tells you that you are rude. Shouldn't I find out if I am rude instead of just letting it go and believing that I am not rude, when in fact I am?

Dumb question but how do you not give a negative thought any attention? Do you just ignore and move on?
