Profile Image for Tiff Gibbo.

"In a sense, the notion that thoughts create reality is more than just a nice idea; it’s also a fact of evolution. It was because of language and thought that we could create a world within our minds, and ultimately, it is because of language and thought that we have evolved into the society we have today—for better and for worse."
"The objectivity required to see the effects of present monoculture is very difficult to develop. Once you have so deeply accepted an idea as “truth” it doesn’t register as “cultural” or “subjective” anymore." "You think that to change your beliefs, you have to adopt a new line of thinking, rather than seek experiences that make that thinking self-evident. A belief is what you know to be true because experience has made it evident to you. If you want to change your life, change your beliefs. If you want to change your beliefs, go out and have experiences that make them real to you. Not the opposite way around" "You believe that creating your best life is a matter of deciding what you want and then going after it, but in reality, you are psychologically incapable1 of being able to predict what will make you happy. Your brain can only perceive what it’s known, so when you choose what you want for the future, you’re actually just recreating a solution or an ideal of the past. When things don’t work out the way you want them to, you think you’ve failed only because you didn’t re-create something you perceived as desirable. In reality, you likely created something better, but foreign, and your brain misinterpreted it as “bad” because of that. (Moral of the story: Living in the moment isn’t a lofty ideal reserved for the Zen and enlightened; it’s the only way to live a life that isn’t infiltrated with illusions. It’s the only thing your brain can actually comprehend."
"The most successful people in history—the ones many refer to as “geniuses” in their fields, masters of their crafts—had one thing in common, other than talent: Most adhered to rigid (and specific) routines...[T]he point is not what the routine consists of, but how steady and safe your subconscious mind is made through repetitive motions and expected outcomes."

What your big objective is. If you don’t know what you generally want to do with your precious, limited time here, you’re not going to do much of anything at all.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Brianna Wiest was just 24 when 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think was published, proving that wisdom doesn’t only come with age. Wiest’s endgame is happiness. To get you there, she tackles big questions in the vein of “What’s the meaning of life?”—but she discusses them with a light touch, in relatable, everyday language. (In other words, you don’t need a philosophy degree to read this!) One recurring idea that really resonates is Wiest’s reframing of the past not as a fixed, unchangeable reality, but as an ever-shifting variety of experiences and memories. She explains how this helps us stop seeing painful or traumatic events in our lives as impediments to our current happiness. Wiest makes the path to enlightenment easier by breaking down her advice into bite-size bullet points that are as wise as they are Instagram-ready. If you’re inspired by the work of Brené Brown and Don Miguel Ruiz, Brianna Wiest might just become your new favorite self-help author. 

Customer Reviews

If the term "control" feels restrictive or monotonous, envision it as a sturdy tree trunk that supports an abundance of vibrant flowers and luscious fruits.

Doesn't that shift your perception a bit?

You're already in the process of changing your mindset, evolving from a dull root system to a tantalizing fruit tree to an entire living organism. In your specific instance - a human being.

Covering all 101 essays from the book here would be quite an undertaking. Hence, we've cherry-picked eleven impactful ideas that will surely get your cognitive wheels turning.

Embrace ownership over your thoughts and emotions.

We are born into a universe replete with deeply ingrained traditions and values.

As we mature, we absorb these values, either passively or through explicit teachings. Societal structures are designed to chastise and manipulate those who defy these norms, as you might have experienced in dinner table discussions or social media exchanges.

So, how can one navigate through this cultural monolith?

This is your starting point of self-discovery. You need to acknowledge and accept ownership over your thoughts and feelings. Your emotional anchor should be rooted within you, detached from the external chaos of everyday life. Additionally, it's crucial to realize that sometimes, our painful emotions lack a concrete source and can be dispelled by shifting our focus elsewhere.

Experience your emotions as they arise — and then graciously let them go.

Establish a daily rhythm.

For most people, the concept of routine can feel like a direct contrast to a life brimming with happiness and adventure.

However, upon closer inspection, you'll discover that the most triumphant individuals you admire usually adhere to a daily rhythm that guides them into a state of familiarity and constancy. It's this rhythmic cadence that propels them into a 'flow state', a stage where creatives seem to work ceaselessly and effortlessly.

Construct your personal rhythm by identifying the minor habits that keep your mind balanced and serene, and commit to practicing them every day. This rhythm will offer you a sense of security, help ward off anxiety, and tackle procrastination head-on.

Amplify your happiness threshold.

It may come as a surprise, but in reality, you're not truly seeking happiness.

Unbeknownst to you, you've established a benchmark of happiness that, once surpassed, makes you uncomfortable, prompting you to revert back to a socially acceptable state of joy.

Reflect on this: Can you recall instances when you subdued your joyous celebrations for fear of making your less successful friends uneasy?

That was your subconscious alerting you about the potential risks of standing out from the crowd. You inadvertently become a target, a threat. However, all you yearn for is to blend in seamlessly.

Consider increasing your happiness threshold by basking in this euphoria for longer periods. Practice gratitude, engage in meditation, and allow your joy to flourish. You have the power to feel happy irrespective of your circumstances. This choice is deeply rooted in embracing your most authentic self.

Unleash your inherent creativity.

We're all inherently creative beings.

We flourish when we achieve an exceptional state of expression, regardless of its form. Even our hunter-gatherer forebears managed to sketch images on rocks and cave walls amidst their demanding lives.

Human beings are innately compelled to observe and interpret art in every context it presents itself.

Discover your unique mode of creative expression and hone it. It doesn't need to be comprehended or approved by others. All it requires is for you to derive pleasure from it. Let it flow without any judgement. Resist the lure to mimic others.

Engage in it for its own merit, with mindfulness and regularity, until it integrates into your routine and becomes an instinct.

Automate your skills to perfection.

How can you simplify newly acquired skills to the point where they seem as natural as breathing?

Here's your three-step roadmap to mastery!

Firstly, immerse yourself in the skill you're captivated by and learn about its application. Begin to put this newfound knowledge into practice, observing any mistakes for future improvement.

Next, while utilizing the skill, aim to remember all the individual components involved in its application. Why? Because our brains are wired to remember a chain of events more effectively than a single isolated incident. You'll notice it becoming gradually easier over time.

The final phase propels you into a state of autopilot through consistent repetition. You'll find the process becoming more effortless, and you'll slip into a state of flow as you carry out tasks subconsciously.

Cultivate your self-esteem.

Remember the lesson about steering your emotions with your thoughts? You can apply the same principle to boost your self-esteem.

Consider it as your capability to navigate your personal affairs. As you consciously work on and assess your skills, you'll see your confidence blossoming over time.

Embrace a high standard of morality, accountability, and ethics that are not imposed by external forces but guided by your inner values and self-worth. Learn to assert yourself in a manner that doesn't reflect defensiveness — defensiveness often springs from fear.

You won't bask in triumphant moments every day, but you'll experience a comforting tranquility knowing that you're at the helm of your life.

Strike a balance between passion and purpose.

We're often encouraged to follow our hearts, but what if we allow our minds to take the lead?

The secret isn't about favoring one over the other, but rather understanding where one ends and the other begins. Passion may light the flame of desire, but its intensity is likely to wane as you advance.

That's when the wisdom of the mind comes into play. A well-defined purpose will keep you centered, assist in identifying and mastering the skills needed to execute daily tasks, and give you the courage to defer instantaneous gratification.

Celebrate your small victories with gratitude. The tranquility and tenacity offered by purpose outshine the frantic pursuit to fill any void you might be experiencing. Even in personal relationships, shared values can provide a deeper sense of fulfillment.

Steer clear of distractions.

In a renowned essay, Denis Diderot, a philosopher of the French Enlightenment, narrated how receiving a new scarlet dressing robe led him to unhappiness and plunged him into debt.

His older possessions seemed dull in comparison, almost overnight. He hurried to replace them to align with the novelty of his new robe. If you've ever purchased a dress and immediately considered the perfect pair of shoes to accompany it, you'll understand his predicament.

Advertisements, acquaintances, and celebrities constantly urge us to consume more. Trying to derive satisfaction from a materialistic existence proves to be a near-impossible task.

Instead, direct your attention towards the things that truly matter to you.

Master the art of rest.

Up until now, we've explored various concepts that will hopefully shift your thinking paradigm.

Here's a small encore: we have three more quick ideas to impart.

Firstly, get well-acquainted with rest. Enjoy a good night's sleep, engage in reflection, and carve out time for idleness. Maintaining an intense focus all the time can deplete your energy. More often than not, it's during these idle moments that your mind unravels complex events and problems to uncover solutions.

Refrain from judgment.

Steer clear from judging others, especially the younger generation still navigating their path in the world. Our innate inclination is to conceal our emotions when we face judgment. However, this often seeds stress and anxiety that may surface later in life.

Shift your viewpoint.

Lastly, harness the power of negative thinking to assess and enhance your life. While you're not in control of what life presents to you, how you respond to these circumstances is entirely up to you. Rather than repelling negative thoughts, employ them as a means to strategize your response. Transform your fear into a driving force.

Altering your viewpoint will consequently reshape the manner in which you tackle every obstacle in your life.

Wrapping it all up

A significant chunk of the notions you believe to be your own are, in reality, inherited from the prevailing culture that surrounds you. To carve your own path, you need to mute the external noise and foster independent thought. Deliberately use your thoughts to determine what truly matters. This will shift your emotions about several aspects as you acquire a broader perspective — the lens through which you perceive everything.

Following this, it's easier to establish a productive routine that forms the bedrock for your purpose, at a safe distance from the fickle ardor of passion. You'll discover genuine satisfaction when your objectives transition from the thrill of the end goal to the everyday tasks you start to relish. It's these routine tasks that metamorphose you into a creative dynamo as you begin operating on autopilot. Faith in your capability to execute tasks and govern your own life boosts your self-esteem.

This is the initiation towards treating yourself with compassion. Simultaneously, it's how you treat the world with kindness.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money , award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.

101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think (No, actually)

Longtime lurker, but I had to share this find. Recently, I was given access to the book "101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think" by Brianna Weist. If you're looking for tangible, thought-provoking advice, "aha" moments, and philosophical basics, I would highly recommend taking a look at this book. The book was personally a real slap in the face for me- making me realize some of the socially unintelligent conversational habits I have, and how often I whine that my life sucks.

Some of my favorite quotes from the book (so far):

If you want to change your life, change your beliefs. If you want to change your beliefs, go out and have experiences that make them real to you.

(In regards to social intelligence/arguing) The idea may be wrong for you, but it exists because it is right for someone else. Intelligent people say, "I don't personally understand this idea or agree with it."

Have you ever felt joy for more than a few minutes? What about anger? No? How about tension, depression, and sadness? Those have lasted longer, haven't they? Weeks and months and years at a time, right? That's because those aren't feelings. They are symptoms. And your arrival at the conclusion that you cannot go on like this, that you're off-track and feeling stuck and lost, are you realizing that you need not change your feelings. You just have to learn to lean into them and see what they are trying to tell you.

As mentioned above, I was given free access to the book via PDF download. If you're interested, I'm happy to send you the link to the download (link posts aren't allowed), or you can find the hard copy or kindle version of the book via Amazon for a good price.

Worth noting: The book is highly repetitive, this is something the author admits to. "Essays" is a bit of a misnomer- more like articles and lists. I also don't mean to indicate this book is providing crazy new, never-before-seen ideas that will change your life, but I thought it was organized in a way that was easy to read and resonate with. I'm no philosophy whiz, but it was a good read for an "average joe".

France Is Headed for Disaster

The red, empty benches of France’s National Assembly.

By Philippe Marlière

Dr. Marlière is a professor of French and European politics at University College London.

Things are not going according to plan. Three weeks ago, President Emmanuel Macron of France called a snap vote hoping to regain political control after a crushing defeat in the European election. On Sunday, in the first round of voting, the far-right National Rally topped the poll and the left-wing New Popular Front coalition finished second. Mr. Macron’s Renaissance party came in a distant third.

Now, after taking about 33 percent of the vote, the far right is on course for a stunning victory in Sunday’s second round. If National Rally secures an absolute majority in the National Assembly — taking 289 seats or more — Mr. Macron will have to invite Jordan Bardella , the party’s 28-year-old leader, to form a government. Under a system of “cohabitation” with the president, National Rally would be in power, free to carry out its hard-line anti-migrant agenda. For the first time since the Vichy regime, France would be in the hands of the far right.

The more likely scenario, however, is that National Rally falls short of a majority, leaving France with a hung Parliament. Things would quickly become messy. As the biggest party, National Rally would still try to gather the support of other parties to pass legislation — but no one, perhaps besides a few defecting deputies from the right-wing Republicans, will want to enable the far right to govern. With a weakened Mr. Macron atop a fractious and uncooperative assembly, France would enter a profound political crisis with no remedy in sight.

In the event of a hung Parliament, Mr. Macron would have very few options. No modern French president has faced a situation of such political and institutional blockage. His only option would be to attempt to bring about a so-called national unity government, comprising deputies from Renaissance, the Republicans and possibly some moderate deputies from the New Popular Front. But it’s doubtful that such an opportunistic gathering would reach a majority.

If the numbers are there, who would be prime minister? It would have to be a political figure who can work with the center left, the center right and the right. This sort of consensus personality is in short supply in French politics today. In any case, this would only be a temporary solution. Caretaker governments have little political legitimacy and cannot achieve much apart from passing budgets to keep the economy afloat. After a year — the earliest, constitutionally, the president can reuse his dissolution power — Mr. Macron would almost certainly have to dissolve the assembly and call another election. We’d be back to square one, though in an even more volatile environment.

All in all, the prospects for a national unity government do not look good. Although on Sunday Mr. Macron called for a “great democratic and republican union” to defeat National Rally, he has spent more time remonstrating with the left than with the far right: a surprising sense of priorities, one might think. By rejecting what he calls the “two extremes,” he hopes to lure back center-left voters to his centrist coalition. But Mr. Macron is deeply unpopular. By arguing that the left represents as much of a threat as the far right, he might also dissuade centrist voters from casting their votes for New Popular Front candidates in runoffs against National Rally candidates. Their abstention may facilitate the election of more far-right deputies.
