Laughing has been proven to assist people in becoming healthier both mentally and physically. Americans have come to crave this happiness, especially when it comes to the humorists that people listen to. These humorists create this happiness through their critiques of ideas by stating ideas that people don’t always say directly according to author Alain de Botton. It is clear that it is the job of humorists not merely to entertain, but to put a positive spin on events that subsist as serious…

Substance When I refer to substance, also mean content; not just of our actions, but of ourselves. Intend for it to come from within. As in“who are you;” “to know thyself;” to know why you act as you do. Both Socrates and Epicurus believed; “the unexamined life is not worth living” (de Botton, A., 2001, p. 4). Substance might even bear with it a little pain, that the positives in our lives may be the results of a little discomfort; “not everything which makes us feel better is good for us. Not…

Opposing de Botton’s idea of a “traveling mindset”, as Xavier believes, “habituation” can become “receptive.” As described in the text “habituation” is the reduction of a physiological or emotional feedback to a recurring stimulus. To be “receptive” is to open minded thus having the ability to accept new ideas. In addition, a “traveling mindset” is the mentality a person gets when going somewhere new; a place the person has no prior structured ideas of, therefore making the excitement come from…

Living and existing are two distinct actions. To use all available senses and appreciate the value of a constructed reality is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks humans face on a daily basis. Details become insignificant and a person may ignore the grand scope of their environment for the sake of following his or her routine. To only prioritize routine and ignore the details of one’s surroundings is to have a limited grid of interest, or a narrow sense of self-awareness in the space one…

this is the lords doing. These belief 's allow me to generate my own opinions on religion and the greater being. When others who are Atheist 's talk about there being no greater being, I like to listen to their reasoning and beliefs. With my mind able to step out into different conversations, I am able to understand how science may prove our existence in life. While this opinion is not my own, I still find it fascinating to learn how science might prove the meaning of life. Now the mind is…

What if I told you I have the cure for anger? Well, that’s what the philosopher Seneca would explain to you so matter of factly as simple as pessimism or lowering your expectations.

Seneca’s philosophy implies, to not go so far as living your life catastrophizing,…
