[QUOTE="Phil Goodman, post: 228243, member: 42777"] I’d say a lot of that is common sense, but it’s still really interesting. Also, for point number three that can be a really good thing as well. While it sucks to get desensitized to good things, sometimes getting desensitized for bad things can be good(as long as you continue to work to improve the situation if possible). And his recommendations shed a lot of insight into why so many people are miserable these days imho. He points out how it’s important to not distract yourself from discontent or discomfort, which is what more and more people are spending more and time doing whether it’s video games, social media and other endless scrolling, movies, binge watching shows, etc. And while the vast majority of humans suffered from scarcity, we suffer from surplus. Couple an easy life with less opportunities for mastering things with constant distraction and you have a recipe for what we see today. And I think this topic kind of ties into TRT as well. The irony is that while it gives many people their motivation back resulting in more accomplishments, I think it also makes you less likely to be content with your circumstances. In that way there really is no way to cheat biology/physiology. I also think that is one of the things that increases anxiety for people on TRT(knowing or feeling we should do more in the world to improve our situation…whether that’s conscious or unconscious thoughts). The body/mind can process a lot of things and we may not always be aware of what’s going on up there. One thing that really helped me was meditation, and in particular I think shadow work greatly reduced anxiety. Just something I thought I’d throw out there since it helped me a lot, not trying to derail the thread. I also found this to be an interesting podcast covering the problems with being content in today’s world.
