Life broke me a few times.
Life really brought me to my knees.
>> Good. How did you get up again?
>> God, nature, silence.
Each time I [music] was broken. I went
to a monastery.
>> How long? >> Days,
>> Days,
sometimes weeks.
Just last week, we went with the
brothers to Aras, a grim expedition. >> Artos
>> Artos
is a good place.
One of the grimst places on this planet.
>> You know what I saw? When you [music]
are in a place that is ancient, where
the values and rules have not changed in
a thousand years, you start to question
all the modern rules.
>> Stole is harder than screens.
>> You realize all the rules are made up.
And once you lose everything, you're
free to build anything.
>> Tell me.
>> Made up rule number one, right? I
learned it the hard way. You need to be
in the big city. You need to be where
the action is. No. In this day and age,
you need to be where your focus is,
where you're undistracted, where you can
count on people, where your soul gets power.
power.
>> Made up rule number two. Eat superfoods.
Eat supplements. Who is Nimi?
No, eat what comes from your soil. The
soil of your ancestors. Eat what comes
from the season you are in. Your body is
optimized for this for thousand years.
Look at the studies and look into
history. [clears throat] Your ancestors
did not build these countries with
Amazon supplements. Good one. Okay. Made
up rule three. Get a good job. Get a
good car. Get a good house.
>> Get a good cage. That is what they are
saying. Get a good cage made of consumer
debt. Those cages are the strongest.
>> Meta rule four. Trust the experts.
Follow the science.
>> Welcome to the future. We are living in
the age of AI where nothing is real
anymore. Trust only direct people,
one-on-one experiences. Trust the man
and woman you know personally. That's
why the suki disrupt your social circles
so it's only them you can listen to.
>> Made up rule five. Work hard so you earn
well for your family.
>> Your family does not need your millions.
Your family needs your soul and your time.
time.
They need your present, your smile, your mentoring.
mentoring.
Yes, bring bread to the table. But
better live humble and modest with you
present than make a million or a billion
with you never whole.
>> Made up rule six. Follow your passion.
Do what makes you happy.
>> Such a lie to isolate you. Forget that
Do what serves you and what serves
others who share your values. You need both.
both.
Passion fades, but service to good souls
gives you power and motivation for a lifetime.
lifetime.
Lasting happiness comes from honor, not
from pleasure.
>> Okay, now let's get serious. Made up
rule seven. >> Technology
>> Technology
makes life better. Technology makes life
weaker. Technology makes you weaker.
Learn to live without it and you grow automatically.
automatically.
The tech you own ends up owning you.
>> Made a rule number eight. Success means
having more than others.
>> Total lying. Success means needing less
than others.
>> What do you mean?
>> If you need less, you are happy faster.
The richest man is not who has the most,
but who needs the least to let him smile
and lead others.
You get that? H I like that.
>> So, how do you spot the madeup rules?
>> Number one, they come from people top
down. Number two, they come from people
who you don't know and they don't know
you. And number three, finally, these
people could not care less if you live
your life well.
But they care very much that the status
quo remains. status quo,
>> the power structure that benefits them.
Top down, they on top, you down. The
only reason to receive those mailup
rules is because it helps them to rule
over you. Bottom line, never trust
I remember at those 20 autonomous
monasteries each self-governing the
whole place fully decentralized for over
a thousand years.
