Your mind is not broken. It’s just doing what minds do: creating stories, fighting reality, and generating suffering in the gap between what is and what you think should be. Zen figured this out 1,200 years ago — not as a philosophy, but as a practical observation of how human suffering works. Today, we’re looking at Everyday Zen: Love and Work by Charlotte Joko Beck. It’s one of the most practical books ever written on why the mind fights itself and what to do about it in the ordinary moments of your life.What you will take away:The Story vs. Life: Why you are living your narrative instead of your actual life.The Intensity of Love & Work: How these two areas become your loudest dramas.The 3-Step Zen Practice: No robes or retreats required—just a direct exit from mental storms.Body over Brain: Why returning to the physical body is the fastest way out of suffering.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Why your mind is at war with itself00:34 — Who is Igor and what is this series01:14 — The core problem — you are living your story, not your life02:52 — Love and Work — where the drama plays out04:52 — The three Zen practices for ordinary life06:55 — Walking Sarajevo with Zen in my ear08:44 — The one question that changes everythingThis isn't about becoming a Buddhist.

Neuro Discipline by Peter Hollins tells the tale of two battling brains, and why we are predisposed to laziness and energy conservation. Time after time, we take the path of least resistance to our detriment. The key to beating this is understanding the brain’s imperatives and working with them. Our brains are not wired for goal achievement. They are wired only for speed, survival, and the present moment.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer.  How to Live Your Best Life 00.00 Intro 01:20 Welcome, my name is... 02:22 What is "The Last Lecture" 04:47 My own Last Lecture 05:40 The most important thing to know IN LIFE 07:33 Importance of Breathwork 08:33 Number two thing to know to live your BEST LIFE 10:17 3rd most important message in life 12:17 What else is NEEDED to live your BEST LIFE 13:13 What is the number one problem in life? 14:05 How do you live a life which is worth living? 16:12 What is the message of the Last Lecture 18:52 Difference between KNOWING and BELIEVING 20:24 AND...

Be What You Wish by Neville Goddard is a reminder that most men are totally unaware of the creative power of imagination and invariably bow before the dictates of 'facts' and accept life on the basis of the world without. But when you discover this creative power within yourself, you will boldly assert the supremacy of imagination and put all things in subjection to it. By our imagination, by our affirmations, we can change our world, we can change our future.  The Law of Assumption 00:00 Intro 01:02 Welcome, my name is 02:20 Everything depends upon our attitude upon ourselves 04:02 What is meant by a "meek" man? 05:29 ALL forms of the creative imagination imply... 06:43 Man's only limitation is... 07:52 Is there something wrong with prayer? 10:33 Controlled imagination & steady attention 11:44 What do experiments and Law of Assumption prove? 13:46 Believing and Being ARE ONE 15:45 FEELING is not only the result, but a CREATOR OF 17:57 In the creation of a NEW WAY of LIFE, where do we must begin? 19:37 AND...
