What Does it Mean to Be Successful? Episode LI: Think Like A Monk!

Why is it that we take success and attribute it to something external? Why are our desires almost always more material than nature than immaterial? Why do we tend to search beyond what we have for happiness?

Welcome to Stoic Spirituality, where I break down relevant concepts from books and abstract concepts I have thought about as well!

In this episode, we explore the psychological and cultural factors that make us attribute success to external factors and prioritize material desires over immaterial ones. We also examine the human tendency to search beyond what we have for happiness and fulfillment, and how these habits impact our well-being. Through this episode, I hope to challenge some of the common assumptions and beliefs about success, happiness, and materialism, and provide practical insights and strategies for living a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Listen in to hear other books I plan on analyzing and speaking about in the future!

A lot of Jay Shetty's content is based on the idea of grounded principles and a humble way of looking at and living life. His podcasts and books have provided me a much lighter way of viewing the world around us and his reels he posts provide constant reminders and new insights to the world around us. Jay Shetty's book was one of the first self-improvement books I read and began a never-ending journey into bettering myself, so this book holds a special place in my heart.
