Happiness is temporary, antifragility lasts forever, explains Jonathan Haidt and 5 other experts.

Become antifragile ► https://youtu.be/e-or_D-qNqM What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. That old adage roughly sums up the idea of antifragility, a term coined by the statistician and writer Nassim Taleb. The term refers to how systems tend to become stronger after being exposed to stressors, shocks, and mistakes. The same applies to humans. Although suffering for its own sake isn’t necessarily good, experiencing — and overcoming — stress and difficulty tends to make us stronger people in the long run. We shouldn’t always shy away from that which makes us uncomfortable. 0:00 Introduction 0:38 Jonathan Haidt defines antifragility 1:35 Susan David on life's fragility 2:12 Derren Brown on acceptance over positive thinking 3:02 Susan David on the risk of overvaluing happiness 4:39 Pete Holmes says "resist nothing" 6:42 Shaka Senghor on the ingredients for resiliency 9:45 Nancy Koehn on taking the first step Read the video transcript ► https://bigthink.com/mind-brain/antifragility/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the experts: Jonathan Haidt ► https://bigthink.com/people/jonathanhaidt/ Susan David ► https://bigthink.com/people/susan-david/ Derren Brown ► https://bigthink.com/people/derrenbrown/ Pete Holmes ► https://bigthink.com/people/peteholmes/ Shaka Senghor ► https://bigthink.com/people/shaka-senghor/ Nancy Koehn ► https://bigthink.com/people/nancykoehn/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read more of our stories on becoming antifragile: Why you don’t deserve to be happy all the time ► https://bigthink.com/thinking/do-you-deserve-to-be-happy/ How to avoid “toxic positivity” and take the less direct route to happiness ► https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/avoid-toxic-positivity/ The Yerkes-Dodson law: This graph will change your relationship with stress ► https://bigthink.com/the-learning-curve/eustress/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Big Think | Smarter Faster™ ► Big Think The leading source of expert-driven, educational content.

“If we're to be happy at all, it has to be found outside of this notion of pleasure. We have to step beyond hedonia. But the problem is that we risk going too far.” Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Up next, 3 powerful mind states: Flow state, good anxiety, and Zen Buddhism ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvHne-U4lcw Humans have been chasing happiness for thousands of years. But we can't seem to agree on the exact definition of happiness and it's often presented as simply a smiling face on social media. Jonny Thomson, author and our very own staff writer here at Big Think, argues that happiness is less of a smiling face, rather, happiness is a smiling soul.  Thomson runs the social media account ‘Mini Philosophy,’ where he distills complex philosophical ideas into bite-sized lessons. So, what can philosophy teach us about happiness? By examining different schools of philosophical thought, we can learn a lot about different ways to create happiness. From Buddhism, Daoism, and ancient Greece to the philosophers of today, Thomson leads us through 2,500 years of happiness philosophy and carves out 3 simple methods that you can use to usher greater happiness into your life.

Sure, IQ is important, but is it as impactful as emotional intelligence? Renowned psychologist and author Daniel Goleman explains. Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Up next, How emotions work ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJLROKV2SzU The concept of emotional intelligence (EQ) can be traced back to ancient philosophies, but it was Goleman’s bestseller ‘Emotional Intelligence’ that popularized the term in 1995. According to Goleman, while IQ and smarts can get you good grades and jumpstart your career, it's EQ (what the psychologist often refers to as EI) that sets apart the top performers and leaders in their careers. Unlike IQ, which remains relatively static throughout life, emotional intelligence can be developed and refined at any age. Goleman emphasizes that enhancing our EQ can make our communities more compassionate, improve how we parent, and help us take better care of the environment. This knowledge - especially the fact that EQ can be enhanced over time - gives us a powerful tool for personal growth. Understanding and improving our emotional intelligence can directly lead us to better relationships, and can shape our lives with more fulfillment and, eventually, success.

His 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence (Bantam Books) was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year and a half. Goleman is also the author of Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything. The book argues that new information technologies will create “radical transparency,” allowing us to know the environmental, health, and social consequences of what we buy. As shoppers use point-of-purchase ecological comparisons to guide their purchases, market share will shift to support steady, incremental upgrades in how products are made – changing every thing for the better. His other books include Optimal and Altered Traits.

"There will always be too much to do. You're never going to feel completely ready. You're never going to be able to feel confident about what's coming in the future." Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Up next, 3 powerful mind states: Flow state, good anxiety, and Zen Buddhism ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvHne-U4lcw Many of us wake up each morning with something Oliver Burkeman calls “productivity debt.” The bestselling author and journalist explains this term as “a sense that you've got to work really hard during the day to pay off this debt of getting things done. Otherwise, you won't quite feel like you're an adequate and acceptable human being.” It's becoming very obvious that this ever-accelerating treadmill of productivity  isn't going to lead to a final, perfect destination There will always be more to do. You're never going to feel completely ready. You're never going to be able to feel confident about what's coming in the future.  If you set out on some big project of scheduling your time very, very, very strictly, not only will you probably fail and get very stressed, but even if you succeed, you'll fail in a way because there'll be some lack of spontaneity to that path, a sense of having to carry out these instructions that you've given yourself that is at odds with what we really value from being alive. And so that's why we need a way of understanding and thinking about work and productivity that does not treat getting on top of everything as the goal, explains Burkeman. Here, he lays out four guiding principles to lead a better, more fulfilling life.

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Paul Nurse defines the 5 core principles of life.

This is the question that geneticist and cell biologist Paul Nurse dissects in his book What Is Life? At the core of life is the cell — an entity that can grow, divide, and reproduce.  Using yeast as a model organism, Nurse discovered a similarity in cell reproduction mechanisms between yeast and humans, hinting at a shared ancestral origin for all life. This commonality extends to genes, the units of inheritance, first recognized in pea plants by Gregor Mendel. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection proposes that life adapts and evolves, favoring traits — and the genes that encode them — that are advantageous for survival.  The essence of life, therefore, is a complex orchestration of chemistry and information management that allows organisms to adapt and persist through inheritance. 0:00 The big question of biology 0:57 1.
