Vi*******:

Who else just loves his head?!

Al*********:

Well, I'm already a stoic ^^

De*******:

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Ch**********:

Two things this talk taught me:
"Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices easy life"
"We suffer more in imagination than in reality"

Sh***********:

if I had a quarter for Everytime Ted talk title is related to it's content I would probably have a penny

Pl*******************:

"I realised that inaction was no longer an option for me" - This is so relevant for me right now, I am grateful that I stumbled across this video today. Great talk, I'll be using that fear-setting exercise :)

Re************:

This is way more helpful for me than goal setting. Depressive episodes have impeded my goals on numerous occasions and being able to tackle them from a different from the place of fear that they create is so much more helpful.

Ka****************:

Last time I watched this video I was contemplating and planning to move out of state. Now It has been a little over a year since I moved. Better things came after I moved past the initial fear. Thank you.

Zo***********:

most impressed by: hard choices, uncomfortable conversations are more often make easy life.

Ma************:

TIm Ferris has bipolar depression? I have it too...wow. my idol man. I get you. I always tried to find tricks and hacks to things too.......you are an inspiration no matter what they say.

Ka*******:

This is exactly what I needed in my life at this particular moment, thank you.

so*********:

"Easy choices hard life, hard choices easy life"

Ma************:

thanks God ! Highly effective Life changing Talk :) a lot of gratitude for Beloved Tim Ferriss :)

Wo*****:

almost 3 years ago i sat in the car, driving to an interview for a job i didnt want, in a profession i didnt care about. during that drive i listened to the tim ferriss show and it was so insipring that when i eventually arrived at the interview, i had already decided that i wouldnt take the job. instead i moved to stockholm, recently started my own personal development company, grow my youtube channel and am happier than i ever would have been otherwise. thank you, tim!

fa******:

Another very good one is:

Good habits are hard to form, but easy to live with. Bad habits are easy to form, but hard to live with.

Is**************:

being my self all day is hard
so ima try to do that

Lo************:

Tim, if you ever read this, it's important for me to express what a brilliant speech you gave.

Sa***********:

~
the moment when i realize that i did all of these fear setting techniques in middle school & thinking about all of this at my desk while doing homework changed my life forever~

An******:

That "Stussy" panama

Ni*******:

Buddhism had been the best practice I've done. Similar concepts in Stoicism, but the point is that everyone needs and operating system and a way to update their internal "software". That's the only way you stop being blown around by the winds of change and start learning to ride the waves and set your own course.

Ma**************:

"we suffer more in our imagination than in reality" this is so true tho

Ka*********:

The cost of inaction. This is intriging to me because it is something I always think about. 'What if I don't do this?"

wh*********:

Watched this talk today and asked out a girl I've been crushing on for months cuz of this. Turns out she's been crushing on me too. powerful talk.

Pr*********:

"Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life."


Wise.

Ra*****:

Something I was desperate to hear from someone and lo! YouTube recommends me this video!!! This is the "kick in the pants" i needed. Thanks for sharing this!

Sh************:

I'm so glad that this video was in my search results on YouTube on goal setting. The past two years have been very stressful for me and just last year, got even more overwhelming through a betrayal. I've been feeling so stuck in life that I really have no emotion to anything that should be exciting. I only feel "alive" when I'm rushing against time to get to work or study for school but even then my head is not in the game. After dinner with a family member this past April, I've decided to move out of state and somewhere where I can feel again.

Right now, I'm creating my list of fears as Mr. Ferriss suggests and hopefully I will feel something while I tackle my list. I know some of my fears if not most will cause me to come out of my comfort zone/survival mode. And I do believe this to be coincidental because today is July 14, 2019, exactly two years from the publish date of this video. :)

Ka****:

Unrelated to the talk, but he reminds me of handsome Squidward

sh*******:

Dude that quote... "Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life". That's brilliant.

RA********:

This speech bought out one of the unknown and self enriching quote "We suffer more in the imagination than in the reality" We all can relate this

RA******************:

This reminds me of when I was a teen. My parents were drug addicts and seasoned felons. I grew up telling myself often, "don't be like them". Worked.

Cl*********:

What if I...?

Define:
All of the 10-20 worst things that
could happen if you take the step.
Prevent:
What could I do to prevent each of
these points to happen or decrease the likelyhood?
Repair:
If the worst case scenario happen what
could you do to repair the damage (even a little bit) or who could I
ask for help.

A:

I've been unhappy with the place I live and the profession I chose for years now, ever since the beginning of college - and it's been two years I graduated. I'm still 25 so my mind keeps telling me that this is the time to change things and be brave, so once more I'm planning to move to another city and start from scratch, but I've had these times before and I always give up after some months of planning because it is so scary. My father is willing to help me with money and/or support and he doesn't pressure me that much yet 'cause I'm young but I'm afraid I'll grow old and find myself in the same position. Of all the steps he described that last one is undoubtedly the scariest.

Hi*****:

So, this happy pic of me was taken in 1999. I was a senior in college, and it was right after a dance practice. I was really, really happy. And I remember exactly where I was about a week and a half later. I was sitting in the back of my used minivan in a campus parking lot, when I decided I was going to commit suicide. I went from deciding to full-blown planning very quickly. And I came this close to the edge of the precipice. It's the closest I've ever come. And the only reason I took my finger off the trigger was thanks to a few lucky coincidences. And after the fact, that's what scared me the most: the element of chance. So I became very methodical about testing different ways that I could manage my ups and downs, which has proven to be a good investment. (Laughs) Many normal people might have, say, six to 10 major depressive episodes in their lives. I have bipolar depression. It runs in my family. I've had 50-plus at this point, and I've learned a lot. I've had a lot of at-bats, many rounds in the ring with darkness, taking good notes. So I thought rather than get up and give any type of recipe for success or highlight reel, I would share my recipe for avoiding self-destruction, and certainly self-paralysis. And the tool I've found which has proven to be the most reliable safety net for emotional free fall is actually the same tool that has helped me to make my best business decisions. But that is secondary. And it is ... stoicism. That sounds boring. (Laughter) You might think of Spock, or it might conjure and image like this -- (Laughter) a cow standing in the rain. It's not sad. It's not particularly happy.
