If you can give me 20 minutes of your attention, I'll give you hours back.

This video feels like it would be in a movie where all humanity's been possessed by social media and you're the last sane person trying to save the planet

It really DOES come down to sitting in silence and allowing ourselves to be bored so we can find deeper meaning. How simple yet difficult.

I hate that I am putting off watching this video because watching a 20 minute video has become a daunting task

You're only 23 yr old but you speak and give life knowledge like a 80+ year old mature person. Thank you for this.

"The whole problem with being in a dopamine hole is that you're in a constant state of dissatisfaction. You're not chasing real pleasure- you're constantly numbing pain"

“you’re not chasing real pleasure, you’re constantly numbing pain.” This is one sentence I’ll hold on to from this video. It’s 3am right now where I’m from and I was laying in bed just so down, so defeated, so drained, and came across this. I didn’t even have an intention to watch the full thing when I clicked on it. A Godsend, truly. Subscribed

What in hell allowed this man to not only provide excellent actionable steps to self heal but also deliver it with a quick cadence of speech absent of speech-fillers. To think clearly and speak articulately is a superpower, keep changing the world for the better Josh.

don’t scroll through the comments, don’t put it in picture-in-picture mode, just put it in full screen and listen. putting this as a reminder to myself and everyone here.

Dr K calls this the 1 hour challenge. We spend most of our waking hours on the phone, listening to music, etc. Basically you just stare at the wall for 1 hour with no background noise. The first 20 minutes is boredom but the next 40 minutes brings a lot of thoughts up and let’s us process what we’re hiding from in our minds daily. Our Brian’s are so not used to silence for prolonged periods of time that some people experience hallucinations or deeply emotional moments.

being able to be bored for more than like 2 minutes is a superpower i never knew i needed

You aren't just giving hours back to people, you're giving what feels like a heart-to-heart conversation trying to help people. I don't know you personally and you don't know me. But you helped me and many many others (shed a tear when you paused and elaborated on our desire to be satisfied not being a bad thing) and for that I'm truly grateful.

there's such a rebellious energy in an apocalyptic way about this video that i really like

"i thought of myself as a world to experience and explore rather than a problem to be solved"

Bro just casually distilled all the best self-help advice into 20 minutes, thank you.

Last night, while neck deep in a dopamine hole, this video was suggested for me. I added to my “Watch Later”, and this was the first thing I watched this morning. It’s crazy to look up and realize that I’m not 25 anymore — or 28… I’m 30 years old. Still dealing with the same issues I’ve been dealing with for the past decade. Fast dopamine, slow work. As embarrassing as it is, I think it’s a good reminder to know that the system was made to work against us, therefore to be sucked into a state of depravity isn’t some misstep… It’s exactly where “they” want you to be. While there is responsibility to take, there is a small amount of shame that’s alleviated from knowing that I didn’t just place myself here… I sleep walked — and now it’s up to me to change course and start moving in the right direction before it’s too late. Here’s to breaking free from the chains of mental bondage 🍻

That last “We are going to be okay. We are in this together” straight up teared me up. Beautiful video! Thank you sir

15:32 NO ONE ELSE CAN FEEL IT FOR YOU, ONLY YOU CAN LET IT IN, NO ONE ELSE, NO ONE ELSE, CAN FEEL THE RAIN ON YOUR SKIN!

When addicts recover from drug or alcohol use they are told a few things, Pray and meditate, write down and reflect, Gratitude lists and to Call people every day. Time and time again this has proven to be a huge help for people struggling with all sorts of addictions. Sounds simple but it for some reason works. I feel this video perfectly encapsulates some of those practices that those who live in our current world that pushes those less talked about addictions need to navigate the world of today

ty for being a fast speaker i have adhd and these days im challenging myself by listening at regular speed instead of 2x been struggling with a k addiction and have been sober for a month its been a little hard so this is great timing
