Hey Eren,

I just wanted to say how much I’ve been enjoying your writing lately. You have a beautiful way of articulating the subtle, often overlooked truths that really matter. In our fast-paced world, your message of slowing down and appreciating the magic around us is so important.

It’s funny you mention the attention cognitive bias, like the RAS. I actually noticed this article because it mirrors a conclusion I’ve also reached recently. After watching The Sound of Metal (a movie I think you’d really like), I decided to sit in stillness for an hour a day for a month. My main takeaway? Contentment isn’t a destination—it’s a decision.

(P.S. I checked out your YouTube channel. As someone who’s seriously introverted, I have so much respect for you for having the courage to sit in front of the camera and speak your truth. That’s no small feat, so kudos to you! 😀)

Hi Nick,

Thank you so much brother. It's very special to me that you enjoy it, it's comments like this that keep me going.

I completely agree with your conclusion and I'm keen to check out that movie. An hour a day is impressive, I'm yet to get a meditation habit going!

And thank you bro. The YouTube is definitely tough but I'm getting better I think. Thanks for watching them! I would recommend you give it a shot if you're feeling scared. You've got nothing to lose. If anyone judges you for spreading a message you believe in then let them judge. There is nothing to be embarrassed about!

Thanks again x

Love it! It’s perfectly analyzed, explained and illustrated…the way I live and the way we all should…It’s definitely the ultimate way of life…

Be happy by creating your own happiness…

It’s like a personal life manifesto…we all should abide by…

A compass for living…
