Episode notes
The level of focus of the mind correlates with happiness. When the mind is fully focused, time seems to stop, leading to a state of flow and happiness. On the other hand, when the mind is preoccupied or time seems to pass slowly, it is associated with neurotic and repetitive thoughts, leading to unhappiness. This correlation is evident in moments of excitement and happiness when working on something that one is passionate about. Additionally, the presence of an active mind is essential to notice the passage of time, as evidenced by the observation of active thoughts during moments of unhappiness. The discussion emphasizes learning from internal experiences rather than relying on external sources, with a focus on the impact of mind's focus on happiness.
