The audiences on a lot of these psychological TED talks must be medicated. I've seen livelier undergrads in required lectures at 8 a.m.

I love what Radical Honesty is.... Lying can bring trouble, and honesty can bring trouble... it's about choosing what kind of trouble you want, good or bad...

16:09: "..When you experience an experience, it comes and goes. When you resist experiencing an experience, it persists. The major form of resisting your experience is by thinking." …Nice!

I love this: diplomacy is what causes war. Agree. Another word for diplomacy is bullsh*t or dishonesty.

Did you already read his book "Radical Honesty"?

Sharing honesty with a person who has a vast amount of humility is painlessly easy, especially if you are a humble, person as well. What seems to be difficult for people is being humble enough to accept, analyze, and build off of the honesty received from others in order to better themselves. In other words, if you dish it, you should also be able to take it. Before we can be honest with others, we need to be honest with ourselves. Not everyone is honest enough with themselves to positively utilize honesty in order to better themselves, or to better understand others.

When I was thinking I just thought of all of the terrible things that could happen, but when I was just listening to my music and feeling the movement of the boat I was able to relax and feel calm, even though the movements were crazy, because I wasn't relating the movements to any future outcome, I just noticed them. It's meditation.

100% noticing is presence & awareness through observation. Thinking is distraction & confusion, it’s impossible to observe when distracted. Improv comedy is great at training your brain to be present in the now & observe. It never works when you preplan responses. The one & only reason we try to preplan responses is fear. We subconsciously worry about approval from others & we overthink. Genuine observation allows us to understand our own internal state & pick up on cues from others. It’s amazing how much we can guide others in even the hardest conversations when we have the ability to not think(assumptions spawn here) & to notice instead. We are more inquisitive asking questions to clarify the things we notice in others & more objective to their responses not taking everything so personal.

Yes but in most mindfulness practices you do not then tell other people honestly how you are feeling. The radical honesty part is what is important here. Mindfulness is merely the noticing part which is easier, the telling the truth to others about what you are feeling and thinking is the challenging part because we are all lying, to ourselves and others all day long. In the roles we play, the repression of emotions that feel etc.

No, he isn't. By saying that you're just reducing his life's work and immensely valuable wisdom down to single word that is already so poorly understood by so many.

Yes! Honesty truly is a necessary practice for any relationship of any kind to thrive. We often blame others for our inability to be honest with them. They are just going to get mad, can’t handle the truth, etc. That’s actually the sorry excuse we tell ourselves because we lack the courage needed to be vulnerable &compassion needed to deliver the truth. It’s not what you it’s how you say it that poses an issue. Even with someone who repeatedly gets offended by truth. If you consistently deliver the truth in a nonjudgmental way & let your genuine intentions know that it’s to provide a benefit to this person they will be conditioned to feel reward not punishment with you. We all have the power to be successful in mastering communication & honesty when we challenge our own intentions first. Honesty isn’t our personal opinion it can be our personal interpretations. I think people confuse what’s truth with what’s preference and that’s when conflicts happen. Now others can misunderstand you creating conflicts but having conviction in our intentions & making them clear is hard to argue with if intentions are noble.

He said that he wants us to go out and practice radical honesty. I don't give a f*** what he wants.

Interesting philosophical and ethical considerations for us societally and individually: freedom from what others might think, but ‘actions freeing ourselves to be our best selves’ and not ‘actions just for action’s sake or complete disregard of others; the roles of tact, compassion and understanding.

Whilst reading these comments, it occurred to me in how they did such a perfect job of being great examples of his 3 minds breakdown, by showing on what different levels (or minds sets) people were in while watching the video, and therefore what they took away from it. It also appears that honesty is really scary to many people...

Incredibely interesting what that man has to say. He definetely knows stuff! I can understand his thinking because I can refer to most of the things by myself. He continues his thoughts and goes a step further, which is really what is so interesting for me, because it feels like I've learned alot about myself after this little talk. Also I like his humor he seems like a down to earth person even with his "brutal honesty"

This makes me cry laugh, because that's my instinct and way of being. I'm the buzz kill, analyzing, criticizing family member. No one enjoys being responded to with a person's true perception. If they did, I'd be the happiest person in the world. Mind you, wording and approach with the honesty is critical, still being the reality checker isnt the job with a happy face rating. Personal option, based on personal experience. Take it how you please.

I have a very hard time, every single day, not living in my mind. It’s obsessive, uncontrollable, life altering and can become misery.

Being an introverted intuitive I can definitely agree thinking is messy and noticing is more important. As I tell people, "My intuition is always right, but that doesn't mean I am". I can think myself in the wrong direction or even in circles if I'm not careful about listening to my intuition; which is great at noticing.

So weird. My radical honesty got me into big trouble and now my friend hates me for it and is doing everything she can to deny reality and come up with ways to “disprove” the truth. It’s so hard for us humans to be honest with ourselves and be ok with not being perfect. Just admit your flaws, then work on doing better.

Pursuing, upholding, and defending truth is more important than any of us individually. If we don't protect honesty then our systems break down, or the bad versions of them grow. Individuals rely on our systems of individuals, so we have to think of all the people we're connected to if we lie or are honest and what those two do to the whole.

People can't be honest. They don't even know what they are. Thus their version of honesty is always changing. Every time they think they've discovered something new about themselves their perspective changes and this results in an inconsistency in their beliefs and their actions. Given the same neurochemistry, DNA, conditioning, environment, family influences, anyone could be one of the very people they often demonize. People are more or less products of society. Without the information put into you by society you'd have no way of contemplating anything, never mind what you are, who you are, and whether or not you're honest or not.

When you start being honest with yourself you will definitely find out who you are. We are all just silly human beings and we make many mistakes during our life. And you will also realize that it's actually mistakes that make us learn and will therefore help us grow. You will start taking yourself less seriously when you find out who you are through honesty. Honesty is the best way to tear down the walls of our ego-construct and it will help us see more clearly who we are. It's actually the best way to be in an ever changing world.

As there can be but one now, one reality, one all, one infinity, there can be but one SELF, the one that actually is present here, now. Of course, only if one is ruthlessly honest is this clear. Certainly, life is honest with itself. The term "human being" is an oxymoron. The entirety of the purported human experience takes place in time that is never present, never being. Go ahead and try to capture the present in the context of time. Time only deals with what is not anymore or what is not yet. This means time is a field of not, it does not really exist. If one is going to speak on what is real, true, valid, then one must start with that which IS. The word is means, exist, have being. If time never stops to "be" how can there be an entity called a human being within the context of that which is non-being? Can you be honest? Life is now, so only now is alive. Now is not a time, in time, nor a product of time. Time seems to pretend there's a point when it is not now. When is that? Never!

I'm an INTP, and radical honesty is the fundamental cornerstone of my personality. I can tell you from a lifetime of experiences being completely honest, that this is NOT always the correct course of action. An early example being a teacher that asks you why you weren't in class. If you tell her the truth, that you skipped because you simply didn't want to go, you will suffer consequences. Although I'd proven my penchant for honesty, she lost her trust in me. Are you prepared to suffer real consequences for your actions? Another, and more disastrous outcome, involves the consequences you'll suffer when revealing truths to the people that you love. You may be prepared to suffer the consequences of their disappointment and/or scorn, but are THEY prepared to handle it? In this instance, your pursuit of radical honesty is a selfish act. Honesty may liberate you, but may harm those that are not yet on your plane of heightened self awareness. Are you willing to admit to your dying mother that you're an atheist, and do not believe that her death will take her somewhere you'll be able to see her again? My atheism was called out on her deathbed, and I regret my stoic faith in radical honesty in that instance. It would have been kinder to allow the dying woman before me, my own mother, the solace that I believed what she believed. That she wasn't really leaving existence forever, and we'd see each other again. In a perfect world, everyone would appreciate, respect, and accept radical honesty. The truth is that this isn't a perfect world, and the vast majority of people will revile and reject it. This isn't to say that you should lie about things that will have a genuine positive impact on the world regardless of how it will affect you (whistleblowing, or standing up to an employer that takes advantage of their employees, for instance). Learn to recognize when honesty is a selfish act that only benefits yourself, and when it will do real harm to those unprepared for it.

So helping and I love him. So sweet, heart felt, and amazingly smart! Thank you. I will you the “I’m listening”. Cause it turned my monkey mind right off. Thank you DR B Blanton🌱❤🌱

7:50. I was on sick leave for 40 days, I had extremely stressful situations at home, I got anxiety and insomnia over it. I lost 17 lbs, and looked sick. I was supposed to return to work or retire. ( I NEVER WANTED TO EVER RETIRE).. I put on my uniform and looked into the mirror,.. and I totally FREEKED OUT!!... I was home alone.. my 1st thought was " I CAN'T GO BACK TO WORK LIKE THIS "!!... I called and retired. I had a breakdown and was hospitalized. I couldn't believe what I had done.!!! I wasn't able to return... and went into depression!, and horrible regret. My minds betrayed me by the look in the mirror! I didn't have to retire myself!, I could have took more leave without pay. The Stressed brain with insomnia couldn't think on the positive situation and thought only negative outcomes. It has ruined my life.. I haven't recovered from this traumatic mistake. I lost interest in life... don't go anywhere or do anything... im actually in stuck mode.., like shock!.. I don't leave the apt anymore also... What happened to me.?? Why did I freak out so bad? Why did I retire myself! ( knowing I never ever wanted that) Why now, am I in denial and still cannot believe this happened. My life is in stuck mode! Unable to let go and move on. It's been 4 months 5 days... will I ever Snap out?.. and accept?... 🙏

He just described ultra instinct. Goku already taught me this.

Awesome talk! Thanks Brad :) I love your book too

Such a hard audience ... but I get it , we all made so many negative experiences by truly speaking our minds that it’s like : yeah dude go on. But he is so right, with his thoughts!

GREAT !!!! and I loved the three-minute path to enlightenment

Thanks for the presentation.

Awesome Mr Brad...just awesome! Thank you 😊

His book “Radical Honesty” changed my life

Absolutely enjoyed this presentation. I laughed I cried laughing so much. I watched it 3 times in a row. I love this Man! What a wonderful way in which he explained it. This guy is a must follow for my blissful ignorance. This talk will be shared among the others in my tribe. Tedx Talks are the best medicine I could ask for. Much respect an gratitude for all you'all do the make this site available for free. It's a lifeline for me. However, I would definitely take out a second mortgage to join if it was a paid subscription.

Thank you for the advice.

Thank you ❤

simply amazing

Brilliantly delivered 💜💜💜

Excellent. Thank you!!

This spoke to me on a huge level.

Excellent Ted talk...so full of wisdom

A concrete example would have been worth its weight in gold here! A real-life example. It feels like he was saying some profound concepts but this short talk failed to bring it home, so to speak. I was so frustrated when it ended without an example.

The one thing that kinda hit me about this was just not thinking and feeling things out, i think that went over most peoples heads but being me, i think too much about social interactions and that stops me from having them at all

it's like everybody knows honesty but only few really practicing it in to reality like this guy... everybody else in the world is dishonest, including me... honesty can really really put our lives in a simple and easy way....

He's right you know!

Good talk. I hate that total honesty is seen as radical, but I wish more people would do it.

I am dishonest because I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings and end up hurting myself 😪

I agree with you. I too am dishonest by the same standards. This tedtalk is partly helpful, mostly skewed... Is it radical dishonesty to be a bit sensitive about hurting others' feelings? I doubt.

I love his casual use of profanity. He reminds me of my favorite teacher and my favorite boss.

Loved this!

I needed this today 💕

People are scared to be really honest. I am practicing this in my life and it’s amazing. Honesty has been great in clarifying the distortions. And I love that this life is full of troubles. What kind of trouble do you want to be in. Telling the truth is the best trouble to be in. 😂 😆 😝

This dude is right on! 5 stars

I just can't wait to see this!!! Thank goodness October has finally arrived!!!!!

Honesty .... joke .... so funny! Great examples of radical honesty. Thank you.

Ive just discovered RH and I am fascinated. I want to be radically honest. I want to be with radically honest people. I HATE bs and it abounds everywhere.

I took a quote from kristen Bell, She shared her therapist advice. Her therapist, stated, "honesty without tact, is cruelty".

She did not doin that. And also she misquoted. The quote is honesty without compassion.

I like his thoughts about honesty. He seems to have spent a long time figuring out however, what has already been discovered. I recommend the book, "The Joy of Living" as a fantastic guide to meditation. And also Alan Watt's lectures regarding the same subject.

Motivational speaker 100%!

Thanks for explaining it in such a way, you made me feel it. Another example of it is Anime like Beyblade burst, Inazuma Eleven, Pokemon gen upto Kalos. As it can be watched by both adults and children.

I love this

Hahaha! "What's the best kind of trouble?" Better to be honest and be in trouble with somebody else than to betray yourself and lie and REALLY be in trouble with you.

I hate a lying tongue, and most people don't lie as well as they think, but I've also found out that most people can't handle the truth. You will take a lot of losses. And I would not have gotten most of my jobs, etc., without manipulating the facts. Make of that what you will.

You have to answer yourself at one point of time. That matters...the most! So why honesty you need.
