There is something beautiful about doing something you love simply because you enjoy it. This seems to be disappearing.

Go fishing, only supreme assholes can turn grind mode on while fishing.

As a man who used to struggle with depression these are the most helpful things I can think of: -Take Risks, don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying something new or something great -Do things that genuinely scare you or that you're afraid of (Even little things like climbing onto a roof and helping to put up Christmas lights if you're afraid of heights or saying something to the cute cashier girl other than "hi" and "thanks") -Pursue an ambitious goal, one that a lot of people don't believe you can achieve (It doesn't even matter if you fail this because no matter what the pursuit of an ambitious goal will make you a better person and give you fulfillment) With that being said, do your best to succeed -Have a passion, basically this means to find a hobby that you enjoy so much that you will spend hours and hours getting better at it -Study history, pick a role model, and then analyze the traits of your role model and list the reasons why you admire them. Then start to emulate these traits in your everyday life and eventually you will become your own role model. -Don't ever quit something just because it's hard (You can quit a crappy job if it's not the right fit for you, but never quit solely based on the fact that something is difficult). Embrace challenges and look for opportunities to improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. -Never put yourself down. Try not to think negative things about yourself and especially never say them out loud. You will think more highly of yourself when you say positive things about yourself, at the very least avoid putting yourself down on purpose. -Live purposefully. Have a direction for your life and if you don't already have one, make one. Decide what's most important to you and live accordingly. If you have a family or even a single loved one, your first priority (other than serving God if you're religious) should be to provide for them, to protect them, and to help them become the best version of themselves -Develop Integrity. I can't even explain how much this increases your self-respect. Be honest, be trustworthy, don't cheat (unless you're in a street fight) and live with honor. -Find a hobby that you're really passionate about and strive to become a master at it -Finally, probably the most important thing I can say is to think less about yourself. Think less about yourself but not less of yourself. In other words, think about other people before you think about yourself, especially your family and loved ones. If you're focused on helping them with their problems I can promise you that your problems will become less important and less troublesome. Look for opportunities to help others and make them feel better about themselves. Nothing lifts you out of depression better than helping someone out of theirs. I hope this helps. I realize that some people are genetically predisposed to having a harder time with depression, but I believe that there's nothing you can't overcome with a strong mindset. In addition, I strongly believe that going through depression and having such terrible lows actually gives you the capacity to feel even greater happiness and joy. The reason I say this is because when you feel genuine joy after being depressed for so long you can't help but feel grateful. The beauty of life is that we are meant to experience the full range of human emotions, from happiness to anger to jealousy to despair to joy. We couldn't feel genuine happiness if we never knew what it was like to be sad. If I could talk to whoever is reading this face-to-face, what I would say to you would be simple: don't quit. A quote from Winston Churchill kept me going in times when I thought I had nothing left, he said: "If you're going through Hell, keep going." Everything in life can be and is meant to be an opportunity to make yourself better, and depression is no exception. Keep fighting, all of you are descended from warriors no matter what culture or country you are from. You wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the conquering spirit of your ancestors. Live a life that would make them proud. While most of us will not fight in physical wars, no one is exempt from the battlefield of life. Depression can be a battle every single day, every single second in some cases. Keep fighting, it will only get better. And the more you fight, the more you will gain respect for yourself. I've conquered my depression. Every now and then it will start to try and creep back into my mind but I don't let it. I destroy those feelings with action. I go lift weights, I go running, I listen to metal music, whatever it takes for me to regain my confidence. You can conquer depression, no matter how severe it is. That doesn't mean you'll never have days where you feel down, but it does mean that you'll have the strength to push through and do what you need to do as a man regardless of how you're feeling. Stay strong, stay hard, and fight like dragons 🐉 You're going to be very glad you did.

As you say, half way through it in terms of numbers of years to live and that does not take into account the fact the stages of life : childhood, being a teenager, then a young adult and so forth are very different. you could do at 15 but it is not going to happen again at 40 or even at 30. Some years are worth a lot but when your past 55 or 65, what can you do, how much energy have you got etc etc. Kids should be taught about this seriously . Half you life with an life span of 85 is not 42 years. You have to deduct the retirement period which is 65. So it's more like 32.

My job was never a piece of cake; it was always stressful, but for some reason they kept me and re-assigned me to a nursing unit that was hellish and jacked up the stress level to twice what it had been before the layoff.

@@Demondoink1 I don't think you should disregard what he's saying without actually listening to him. Even he has said that dietary recommendations can work differently with people. I'm assuming he was presenting an argument in favor of his diet. Which btw he's mentioned on various occasions, helped him with his depression. The depression his family has had a long history of. The most recent phase he's going through is because of a physical dependence he developed on his medication, which was upped in dosage after his wife got diagnosed with cancer. (Might be something other than cancer I can't recall correctly.) But anyway he's always been a proponent of diet being a unique experience to everyone and never advocated this carnivorous diet beyond his own personal experience. This diet you call a fad has helped two people I know of with auto immune afflictions. One of them is his own daughter who had her hip replaced when she was 17, as a consequence of that disorder. Don't discredit things you don't bother to even familiarise yourself with.

For me I've had many problems in life so far. When I think of what happened before I changed for the better, it was in the mind. Self esteem was my issue. I didn't think I was good enough even all the way back to elementary. Because of this I didn't want to try anything, I wanted to do just whatever I wanted with zero work because I thought I'd never amount to anything so I wasn't even going to try.....this was just part of me like my arm is part of me and I had to work to change it. Once I realized I am a fucking king I could start to Hone my skills but the most important thing was communication and attitude...I was able to communicate and sell myself.... and I'm telling you with a good / keeping humor as well; attitude, everything else has fallen into place. I'm way better off then I was, but not where I want to be. The difference is now I know for a fact where I'm going in life, because A I know who the fuck I am and what I'm capable of and B there is not a single thing in this FUCKING WORLD that is going to stop me, besides me, and I got that guy handled 💯💯💯 now just read that in 3rd person or referring to yourself.

I remember in one of his lectures, Dr. Peterson was telling his students how he approaches the matter of unhappiness/depression when it comes to his patients. He very simply enumerates it through a short series of questions: do you have a job? is the job meaningful or at least tolerable? do you have family and friends, and if you do, is your relationship with them good? is your health okay? do you have something meaningful and enjoyable you can do outside of work? do you refrain from abusing drugs or alcohol? And then tells them that if his patient's answer to all of those is "no," then you're basically in chaos/hell!

@Ya Boi Tom I'm sorry to hear that. I definitely agree with you. You can certainly have a job, friends, intimate partner, etc. and be depressed. I think Peterson's point was more that (from his perspective as a clinician) when he had clients who were very well situated in life (stable job, intimate partner, friends and family, etc.) but were depressed, he was able to gather that the issue was probably relegated to an unfortunate chemical imbalance. However, when he had clients who had no job, no friends, no intimate partners, poor family relationships, a drug/alcohol problem, etc., then it was more difficult for him to suss out whether his patient was merely suffering from a chemical imbalance or whether it was all those accumulated life problems (or both)

We live in a time where there isn't a reason to live given to us. In past times there was embedded reasons to live. In early times just living itself was difficult and people's reason to live was to just live. Then we have the colonization time where people were living to colonize the new world. Then there was the war age where people were thrown at war. Now a days there is no reason given to us, and we are free to find one ourselves. The problem with that is that we are also free to find the answer that we have no reason. Combine that with how hard it is to be successful. A post secondary education isn't the end all be all it used to be, and there are many people that just dig themselves a hole by chasing further education. Then we can look at the job market which is more competitive, and dangerous than ever. Entry level jobs treat their employees terrible because they know they can replace them in an instant, and higher jobs want 10 years of experience from an 18 year old. Finally we live in a time where it is super easy to view and follow the lives of successful people. We are flooded with the lives of people that have reached potential that we can never hope to reach. Combine all of these and you get a nice depression cocktail that most people are forced to drink.

I try to snack on fruit when I can but honestly only eat 1 good sized meal every 3 days. Fasting really balances out your body and overtime you will understand what your body needs. Eating healthy actually creates an inventory of nutrients you take in, if you stick to it you will start to crave certain foods but not by taste but by your body needing the nutrients from the food. Its pretty cool but we live in a time where you can gorge yourself to death and choose to live off cokes and tweankies.

Think Ethan needs to clean his room.

I can relate to the feeling of life being pointless in relation to depression, my entire mentality is wrapped around the point that when you die you die, there's no after, there's no watching the world as a spirit, no sitting in a black vacuum talking to yourself, it just ends and nothing more. So what am I living for? Essentially just to survive and be happy? Well very few things make me truely happy and of those things that makes me happy I can't survive on. So life for me essentially boils down to working so I can buy what I need to survive, so that I can survive, to go to work and buy more things to survive and be slightly happy about it?...ultimately just so that a country and government have someone they can tax and make money from. Why is that a reason to live in reality? To have a "typical" life with a family? I'd love my family if I had one but when im dead and don't exist neither do they, its irrelevant, if anything its a distraction from the ultimate point that you are going to die and everything becomes meaningless at that point because even the memories you have are then gone. When you then add that you're last 20-30 years alive is a slow miserable decay where you can't do basic things in life just...why would anyone want to go through that? For me personally thats just a case of realisation in reality, you either know and accept it, or you don't to distract you how scared you are of the end and the survival instincts that kick in whenever most people think about death to avoid it. Either way we ultimately don't get a choice in having life, I do think we should be giving the choice (through a structured process of therapy, evaluations etc) to end our life in the most comfortable way possible when we choose to, not be told to just accept it and get on with it because government needs its money to keep the people who do want to survive alive.

I think the major driving force of happiness is having a purpose and working towards it by smart goal-setting. Many things in our current society are done for you and taken care of so that the life has become too easy in many regards. There is also more open ground for comparison between how well off are you compared to your friends, neighbours etc. This constant exposure to comparison (via social networks) can lead to very unhealthy consequences. I also think that people have too many options available to them and this makes navigating life too complicated. It has been backed by many studies that people with fewer choices are happier with whatever they choose.

If you have a varied diet with as much of it as possible being natural food, maintaining your health is the easiest thing in the world. Stop with that vegan bullshit, it' all about balance.

+VargVikernes4Pres You're right, but people are definitely eating far too much meat and far too little greens in the US at least. It needs to shift from meat being a staple to meat being a side.

This is why fasting is so vital.

Happiness is when you can appreciate the little things. Like just being able to breathe itself is something to be joyful of.

Suffering is caused by wanting. The less you want, the happier you are

People have become spoiled. For most of human history, if you had food, clothing, shelter, lived relatively long without a war or epidemic you were remarkably fortunate. Probably in the top 1%. Today everyone wants stuff. They want to be relevant, rich, successful, important, loved, powerful. If they don't get all of their desires, they are just miserable. Our world is now very comlex. Social dynamics are constantly changing. We are almost always playing catch up. We are all competing with the Jones'. We all want to look like, be like, live like celebrities. We are exposed to so much choice, so many ideas, so many possibilities, so many problems, that it becomes overwhelmeming. Children are often rather happy in general. Why? For them, life is simpler. At least from their perspective. In the end, I think it's all about perspective.

I don't think that's it. If you know something, but not enough, you will be unhappy. If you know a lot you won't even bother with being unhappy because you will realize it's stupid and only a perception of your subjective mind. For me, the more I learn the happier I become. But you need to focus on wisdom, not just intellect.

I think most people just lack a purpose nowadays. Life is too easy and it’s too easy to get lazy and fall into easy entertainment that’s in your fingertips within seconds. Also combined with constantly feeling like you’re running on a treadmill to support yourself or your family financially at a job that doesn’t give much purpose (which is most jobs nowadays). The days blend together at boring jobs and people don’t have a purpose outside of work. So people are anxious and depressed. Add in social media and it worsens the problem as you look at the highlight reels of others and compare your life to their (fake) life.

You're probably right about diet, I never thought of that. I'll post some other reasons, based on my observations. I think a lot of people are obsessed with chasing status and conspicuous consumption to impress people who really don't give a damn. They're more concerned about what, in their view, everyone else thinks they should be doing based on some profile dreamed up by some marketer far away. I never did that and never will, and am better off for it. A few examples are when I was working (retired now) I would often be asked why I don't buy a new car when the one I had worked just fine. I figured I would save my money and thus have the time and money to do some fun things. I was in my early forties and was taking up the fun sport of skydiving and had 2 guys ask me what someone my age was doing skydiving. To this day I don't know what my age has to do with how I'm affected by gravity or aerodynamics. I've lost count of how many times I've been asked why I don't do the "normal" things you're supposed to do. I'm 60 years old now and almost every day is an anniversary of something I've done. For example, lets look at today's date, Aug. 9, 2021. About this time in 1995 I was taking SCUBA dive training, which has taken me diving in many places in the world. On this date in 1999 I was in Budapest and decided to get on the overnight train into Romania for clear weather to see the solar eclipse on Aug. 11, and was successful. A year later in 2000 I was taking skydive training at this time. Only 3 days ago I was having fun mountain biking on trails, followed by zip lining. On Aug. 10 last year I was parasailing. On August 7, 2004 I went bungee jumping and on a balloon ride on that date in 2014. While not every day is exciting, I hope you get the picture. If you want to increase your happiness, do what YOU want and to HELL with what "everyone else" thinks.

There are about 30 trillion human cells in your body and between 30-50 trillion microbes living on and in your body. This guy doesn't know shit about shit and is just a smooth talker. If you want to really know something about human health, read some pop-bio books like "Sapiens" or "the gut" or a favorite of mine "the body: a guide for occupants". go to a lecture by someone who isn't a charlatan. Stop wasting your time with liars.
