Signs of a Toxic Friend | Buddhist Philosophy | Einzelgänger
Signs of a Toxic Friend | Buddhist Philosophy
But whether or not a friend is toxic can be challenging to determine, especially when we’re attached to this friend. For a significant part, whether someone’s behavior is desirable or not is pretty subjective. Also, people are rarely entirely bad; most (if not all) human beings have positive sides as well. So, how do we decide if a friend is actually an enemy in disguise? What are the signs of a toxic friend?The Buddha may have some valuable answers to this question. The Sigalovada Sutta, a Buddhist text, teaches us the Buddha’s views on friendship. He rationally explains why we shouldn’t be hanging out with certain people and what kinds of people we should associate with if we consider our wellbeing.Support the channel:

How to Simplify Your Life | Minimalist Philosophy
Modern life is cluttered with stuff, social connections, ideas, and stimuli. Worries and wishes fill our minds, and we’re always restless because we fail to distinguish the forest from the trees. When immersed in complexity, it’s difficult to see the essential. “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak,” stated painter Hans Hofmann. This video explores how to simplify your life.Research "Why smart people are better off with fewer friends": https://socsc.smu.edu.sg/news/2016/mar/30/whysmartpeoplearebetterfewerfriendsVideo: How to Simplify Your Life | Minimalist PhilosophyIntro/outro music:Title: Rainy Morning

Can Money Buy Happiness? Yes, According to Philosophy & Science | Einzelgänger
Can Money Buy Happiness? Yes, According to Philosophy & Science
Money makes the world go round. Aside from an extreme minority, we all need money to live our lives. But there are differences in how we handle money and how we experience its value. Some get by with little, and others are perpetual squanderers. Some are perfectly content earning a modest salary supporting their frugal lifestyles; others have millions, live lavishly, and only crave more. So it seems that the amount of money you have doesn’t correlate with how happy you feel. But does that mean that money cannot buy you happiness? Not necessarily.Video: Can Money Buy Happiness?

What You Try to Control, Controls You | The Paradox of Control | Einzelgänger
What You Try to Control, Controls You | The Paradox of Control
Taoism for Inner Peace (book): https://einzelganger.co/tao/The ‘paradox of control’ attempts to show that the more we try to control external circumstances, the less in control we are as we try to control something we cannot. And so, as a consequence of our attempts to impose control over a situation, it may eventually turn out for the worse. This video essay explores the paradox of control.Video: What You Try to Control, Controls You | The Paradox of ControlSupport the channel:

The Power of 'No' | Einzelgänger
The Power of 'No'
It’s a short simple word: ‘no’.But for some people, it’s extremely difficult to use nonetheless. Especially socalled ‘people pleasers’ have difficulties saying ‘no’ to the people they intend to please. Which is a shame, because the ability to say ‘no’ not only helps us to not do things that we don’t want to do; it’s also a deciding factor whether or not we’re able to commit to a task and to achieve certain goals. Moreover, the word ‘no’ helps us to stick with our values and principles.In the word ‘no’ lies great power. And in order to wield this power, it’s essential to see the workings of ‘no’ and how applying ‘no’ more frequently and in the right ways can make our lives better.This video explores the power of ‘no’.Support the channel:

5 Ways to Forgive Someone Who Wronged You | Einzelgänger
5 Ways to Forgive Someone Who Wronged You
Resentment hurts. It can eat us up from the inside. Somehow we believe that the only way to rid ourselves of resentment is when some form of retaliation occurs. But this may never happen. And so, we run the risk of spending the majority of our lives suffering past hurts while our enemies flourish.As Viktor Frankl wisely stated: “When we are no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves.” End quote. We can’t change the past, and we can’t change others. Our mental wellbeing doesn’t depend on whether or not we get revenge or receive an apology. It depends on how we handle the pain inflicted on us. So, we have a choice.We can choose to stay attached to old hurts and take our suffering into the grave. Or we can choose to take the antidote and let go of our suffering, so we spend the rest of our lives without the heavy burden of resentment. This antidote has a name: forgiveness. This video (5 Ways to Forgive Someone Who Wronged You) explores five healthy ways to forgive and let go, based on philosophy and psychology.Support the channel:
