contact and we get just this pleasure from tactile contact , we experience oxytocin, the hormone of love, affection, so if we talk. happiness is more about serotonin, when we talk about happiness from a physiological point of view, it’s just the presence of dominance of one neurotransmitter over another, yes, that is, cortisol decreases, adrenaline, for example, decreases, that is, it’s just balanced, maybe even with some kind of medication or some kind of exercise or food and your condition, please happy, what kind of spirituality, what am i? with the fact

that we need to look at happiness only as a set of hormones, because hormonal levels are like temperature, it is an indicator of our happiness, you can measure hormones, you can take a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, they are also antidepressants, and it seems that you are happy, but this is the same as in case of a serious illness, when your temperature rises, you are prescribed a huge amount of painkillers and antipyretics, you will reduce the temperature for a while, but yes, but pneumonia does not passed, the source did not - did not disappear. therefore, i insist that we need to work with hormonal levels not so much with antidepressants, but with specific practices. scientific research suggests that approximately 40% of the level of happiness depends on what we do, 10% on the external environment, on those the conditions in which we find ourselves are 50 percent dependent on our genetics, that is, people are genetically inclined to be happy and genetically inclined to be melancholic, and there is temperament, again you said. on

the airotransmitter, happiness largely depends on how our brain works, as we said, how we look at this world, and this depends on what, excuse me, compote of genes we have, there are people who are happier by nature, there are less happy ones, but unfortunately this is the case there is, but let's remember the paret principle, 20% of efforts give 80% of the result, and we have 40% of efforts, so 160% - everything depends on us, okay, is happiness an acute experience, or is it rather a long, stable one? long, stable, calm, when we are keenly happy about something, we rejoice, this is joy, let’s now try to sort it out for me and for our viewers , where is our emotion and joy and where is our happiness? happiness is a path, happiness is calmness, happiness is pleasure , the ability to enjoy what we see around us and concentrate on some positive aspects, that is, such a habit. yes, yes, and if we are talking about

melancholic people, they need to develop this skill, because very often people who are such donkeys come to me for consultation and, oh, that’s it bad, oh, how to live on, and just in this case, i recommend acquiring the skill of seeing something positive around, and doesn’t this contradict the concept that is accepted, for example, in logotherapy by existential psychotherapists?

peace of being in comfort and safety, the meaning is about the future, it is about challenges, about overcoming, about problems, there are even studies that say that, for example, residents of rich countries are happier than residents of poor ones, but residents poor countries, developing countries are seen in their life has much more meaning, because in their life there are more problems, more difficulties, tasks, caring for loved ones, more family, well , excuse me, i’m just rationalizing, yes, because when you have more tasks, and these tasks are so small, not how to earn 5 extra billions, not rubles, yeah. how to get

the children ready for school, then the frequency of overcoming and the result is also higher, yes, that is , you grew a carrot today, it has become better for you than last year, for you. after all, they were going crazy, and i read that injections of those same neurotransmitters, in the end , when people become chemically dependent on unhealthy substances, approximately the same thing happens, yes, that they get pleasure for a very short period during the debut period of their addiction, yes, and then there is this

endless attempt to increase the dose, there is no happiness, it turns out that you become boring, and i would talk here about imposed happiness, wow, it’s like, there are imposed values ​​that the average person... a person in society strives to correspond to, that is, it can be a lot of money, it can be a big position is to achieve some heights, and so on and so forth, and this may not coincide with his native true values, which he may not even know about, for example, because he was raised in such a way that you need to finish school with excellent marks, you need, well, to become happy, but i want to work as a welder, and you are pushing me into university, well, figuratively speaking, you are sending me somewhere to harvard.

the fucking psychologist gave it, but i have to sign a contract there to earn money, to capture the moment and look back, this

develops precisely the anterior lumbar cortex, which is responsible for the ability to look at things positively, enjoy the happiness of the moment, see the beautiful, how a flower grows, how it... opens, enjoy the sunset or sunrise, yes, that is, some moments that give us this happiness, i already told in one episode of our podcast about my experience of such unexpected happiness, which i remember all my life, it was many years ago, when i came out after a long course of treatment from cancer, and well, it would seem yes, so i walk and see a bullfinch in the snow, and i experienced an incredible feeling of happiness, just a physiological feeling. happiness, yeah, apparently, from some kind of contrast, from the fact that it symbolizes life, from the fact that everything continues, and now, when i need to put myself in order, and as a purely reflective person, it means that i suffer very often , so to speak, with despondency, so i remember this

moment, and it seems to me that what you are talking about works very well, the ability to see in the moment, and another practice that helps me personally, i also recommend it, is evening... gratitude for everything that happened to us, but this is a skill, and in general it seems to me that people are happy, they are grateful people first of all, yes, if for 2 weeks every evening we write down the names of three people to whom we are grateful, after 2 weeks, after 3 weeks we will become much happier, this is science, we can be grateful to the world, we can be grateful to situations, we can be grateful to god, ourselves, we can even be we are grateful for the misfortune that happened to us, because as they say, misfortune - the meaning of which we do not yet understand. ranevskaya. there are people whom god lives, and there are people in whom only worms live. tomorrow, after the program time. this is a prompt

from the psychic, and we are looking for a formula for happiness with professor andrei shapenko and psychologist elena guseva. there is only so much we can control in this world. we can't change the world. we can't really control other people, and we can't really control our emotions, emotions are connected to our brain, they are connected with some kind of our nature, but what we can control, we can control behavior, these are... the practices are different and we can manage relationships, that’s when we develop the practice of gratitude through our relationships, we tune our brain, we tune our attention to the positive in this life, the next time we encounter something, we will automatically try to understand, what are we grateful for? well, as einstein said, the most important question that each of us must answer for ourselves is the world dangerous or the world is favorable, here is the practice of gratitude, it allows us to see the favorableness in this world, because it affects our... strategy, if the world is dangerous, we close ourselves, we do not develop, we withdraw into ourselves, if the world is safe, we

we are grateful to him, we see opportunities, we see people, we see joy, we see something positive, in the end we become a little happier in terms of effective management, for example, of a team or a sports team, because such strategies are very common, when a person needs to be kept, as they say, in good shape, yes, when you need to introduce such a system of controlled stress. seems like a happy person, he is so relaxed, he is less motivated, here it seems to me that dopamine still works more, but again i can say that we can achieve and achieve a lot and achieve some big goals, but if we don’t we know how to relax, we will burn out, so even in the same team, the manager needs to think about how to give colleagues, or even subordinates, this opportunity, to go to barbecues, to a corporate event somewhere. yes, maybe spend time together, but without training, without go-go, without

these strict motivations, well, as a boring scientist, i want to say that research says that happy people work better, generate more revenue, make more profit, and as a person who is directly confirmed, yes, yes, especially people who work with other people, why, because when communicating with another person, the theory of mirror neurons turns on, we adapt to the other person, if we communicate with a happy person, a happy salesman, for example, we want... to buy this thing, because we see how happy he is, we want to touch it, there is not enough happiness, i don’t want these salesmen, but the second thing, very important, in my opinion, is the art of leadership, the art of management is not only to strive for results, not only to be tough on goals, but to be soft towards people, this is such an interesting dichotomy, such a contradiction that not everyone can handle, because if on the one hand you set high ... you are ambitious, yes, you strive forward, you you give direct feedback, you develop, this is great, but it’s like that for you, but if you

don’t have humanity, if you don’t create a feeling of this belonging, a feeling of security, a feeling of happiness, people will follow you only as long as you give results, like as soon as something happens, you make the first mistake, people will leave, by the way, lately there have been a lot of requests on the topic of happiness in corporations, it would seem that they come in order to teach people how to manage other people, in the end we are talking about happiness and meaning , manipulation, this is not manipulation, this is what we want, when students, accomplished people , rich people, successful people come to us, they, of course, come for knowledge, for skills, for networking, for connections and so on, and then you start with them work and it turns out that we all want only three things in this life, only three, we want to be happy, we want to be successful, and we want to have meaning in life, work happens somewhere at the junction of these three things, i will allow more a little bit of victor franco, because you are right close to this. approached normally, pleasure is never the goal of human aspirations, says victor frank. it is and should

be a result, or rather a side effect of achieving a goal, achieving goals creates a reason for happiness, that is, not happiness itself, yes, only a reason for happiness, a side product, yes, that is, it turns out that a person should strive for success, not thinking about what emotions, what kind of pleasure this will bring him, i want to add that we must strive. achieved success, and then you sit and watch for a simple example, i built a career in a corporate environment, in oil companies, for a long, long time , went to study abroad, entered a top business school, found a job in switzerland and this lake geneva, because either i, or something this is what i really want, yes, yes, yes, happiness is not only in birch trees, happiness is in the very challenges that exist here,

happiness is in the cultural layer that is here, in the people that are here when everything is fine around you, so to the question, is it possible to get enough of happiness, you you live, everything is fine with you, you walk to work, you have a family, a child, there’s a beautiful picture, uh, there’s tracking on weekends, but there’s no sense of this, there’s probably no dopamine, yes, the one we are talking about is serotonin. you sit there and so on and read mantras , you just get pleasure from life , you look at butterflies, and well, if all people do this, then what will happen to the world, and there is another type of happiness, excuse the difficult word, ephdomonic, as aristotle said, this happiness associated with realization, with giving, with creating something in the world, in order to leave a legacy, that’s all, i remembered a little children’s

book, a wizard went through the city, i think it’s called, it might be, you remember a fairy tale, a story about a boy, which had magic matches, yeah. he broke the match and his every wish was fulfilled, that is, he was absolutely infinitely omnipotent, and he wanted to be happy, and this despite the fact that the children's book, it has such a very adult meaning, it talks about how deeply unhappy, simply crushed his this boy turned out to be misfortune and his omnipotence, the accessibility of any desire, i will add that very often we think that happiness will give us... the result that we will achieve and the things that we will acquire are external, yes, that happiness is external , something material, something material, but in fact, what makes us much happier are actions, processes, relationships, yes, what makes us is something that we give not, as it were, from the outside in, yes, we don’t take away from the world, and what we

give to the world does not come immediately, because that at first, of course, in childhood we are incredibly happy in the moment, then at... some age 20-30 we chase success, we have a mortgage, some tasks appear, and then we encounter a crisis of meaning , people come to our business school who actually ask themselves the question: who am i anyway and why am i? everything is there, everything is there, it seems like there is even happiness, and the family is all happy, but there is this crazy emptiness, but is this his happiness? question, yes, then you understand that when a person comes to you with the thought: okay, here you go i have a huge amount of money lying around and... i don’t know what to do with it, and working with him, he eventually says: i understand, i want to stuff it into projects, but projects that will develop other people who will help to other people, not just about money, but about something more, that’s where a person sees his body lights up, finally fire and energy appears, that’s another one of the things that i like, that happiness is energy, here i can disagree

about the fact that many believe that if a person is happy on his own, and this is selfishness, but happiness does not lie only in... in helping, but because if you yourself are not filled, you cannot give a person an understanding of happiness, and i myself went this path, i was, i worked as a chief accountant in a company, and well, it so happened that an illness brought me into psychology, about this, i wrote a book, just the path to happiness, and i ended up with a psychotherapist with the fact that i don’t know how to continue to live, it’s just that the meanings were lost, and i i didn’t understand, i wanted to get married, have children, these were imposed values, yes, that need to be realized, the woman wanted to talk about this about... those stereotypes of happiness that seem to be offered to us from childhood, well, maybe imposed, but offered as a given, so you have to, in order to be happy, and get married , have children, get a good education, so that mom and dad are alive and well, a house, a dacha, a paid mortgage, and so on on the list, that’s how it didn’t work out, that is, it didn’t work out until

i became happy internally , on my own, i couldn’t just help people, then there is such happiness, i went to study at the age of 40, i changed my education, well, i changed the type of activity, i received a psychological education, and well, my dad literally, well, not that he was playing tricks, yes, well, he questioned my choice, why are you even doing this? do, it seems to me, a high-frequency situation when parents say to a child. says: i want to be happy, i want to go to work as a felcher, and not to study at this institute, and my parents say: we know better than you how to be happy, you will thank you later, but the parents implement it through the child’s own values, because they may not be realized themselves, so they impose them, so go to a music school without hearing without a voice, because they didn’t send me, that is,

i once didn’t do it, now i’m imposing it on my child. one of the main problems of education is that when a child does poorly in mathematics and does well in history, we hire him a teacher in mathematics, and not in history, of course, they already have to pass the game, yes, yes, yes, they need to improve, yes, yes, if we talk about my experience, for me it became a big revelation, the transition from the position of must to the position of importance, if we live out of a sense of duty, i must be successful, i must earn so much money, i must have such and such an apartment in such and such an area, i must build an exemplary family and so on and so forth, i must follow all the rules, the position is important, because when i live for a long time - this is external motivation, and when it is important, it is important for me to follow the rules, it is important for me... to live according to the law, for me important, that is, these are my values, it’s important to me self-realization, it is important for me not to deceive , and so on and so forth, and it turns out that i find values ​​and support within myself, but

this is happiness, andrey, personal happiness, there are some mechanisms that can be taught to be happy in your personal life , well, firstly, the longest social experiment in history, the so-called harvard experiment, which lasted more than 70 years, suggests that the most important factor of happiness is: high-quality close relationships, in general, everything else basically fades into the background, for both men and women. and if we talk about what allows us to build high-quality relationships, these are, first of all, the ability to cope with conflicts, the ability to cope with differences, with the fact that we are very happy, because every person is different, probably this is what -excuse me for such a popular word, awareness, which helps us to be aware of ourselves, to be aware.

they will feel supported, well the second thing is to give them quality affection, it is to give them an understanding of that at any moment at any time, no matter what happens, no matter what they do, you still

love them, you lift them up, then they feel safe, then they will not develop cortisol and other anxiety, the second thing, on the other hand you allow them to go on a drive, you allow them to make mistakes, you motivate them to move forward, but again in the area that responds to them, so i try to act this way with mine. this is a psyche podcast, today we are trying to understand how to be happy, see other episodes on the website of the first channel 1tv.ru, give practical advice on how to teach a child to be happy, to be happy, to give the child the right to choice and freedom, and the right to make mistakes, because many parents, anxious parents who do not let their children go, the child received a bad mark, what do we tell him, okay, he got a bad mark, but what’s wrong? well, that is , what are the difficulties, don’t scold him, i don’t know, put him in a corner, yes, but figure out what the reason is, so draw the parents’ attention to what the strong part is in the child, how

since this is to grow, and not to educate him, but this is not connivance, then it won’t work out that the child is happy only when he gets only what he wanted, give me this one, he then comes to work, they tell him , so, look, you need this, so this is a creative project, this is... so cool, we will also have such a cool task, but you will still need to make reports, he says: no, he says, this is what i’ll take , i’ll take it, but the reports will make me unhappy, i can’t imagine allow, no, we are talking about a narcissist, yes, that is, such an egocentrist, which you say, there is no craving for mathematics, don’t teach, child, moderation is above all, there is no need to demand from a child to bring a’s in all subjects, let him bring c grade, calm down, and if you want to make him an excellent student, ask yourself more, what about letting him in?

in some ways, yes, so that he doesn’t have anxiety, because the world he will then go out into will not have this mother who gives him everything, and he will be his accept disappointment, yes, teach, teach, the child, therefore, enrolls every 2 months in a new section or a new circle, each time he says: that’s it, the most interesting thing is over, yes, this honeymoon, yes, take it, i’m deeply unhappy, well of course he doesn’t say that, he says he’s tired of it, i’m sick of it, i’m hesitant, i don’t want to go there. and so it continues from time to time, a similar situation familiar to me, my youngest daughter has already managed to be like chess, cheerleading, some kind of

needlework, right now. it seems to me that it is useful to try different things, firstly, and how a person who stubbornly went to music school for a very long time and was deeply unhappy there, i want to help my children find what they really like, and if my eldest daughter goes to a theater studio, went, and now goes to dancing again, then the youngest one seems to have found it too, went there and really likes it, but here it’s really very thin.

because people born in the soviet union have some kind of discipline, this is a generation of children born who were raised within strict limits, they they tried to create a very favorable environment for their children, and thanks to this, children are not always capable of overcoming, there is even such a concept as children of winners, children of losers, here with children it’s the same as in management, or rather the opposite in management. the same thing with children, on the one hand you must be very tough, set clear understandable boundaries, not humiliate, teach the child to set these boundaries, talk about the subject, to the point in behavior, but at the same time be quite soft and accepting, in my opinion if a child comes with a bad mark, the child himself is upset, sometimes he is just afraid to show this upset, and the first thing to do is to help the child become a little happier than we are, the first basic thing is to learn to work with your emotions,

but. .. learn to accept these emotions, yes, i’m upset, but i didn’t succeed, the second, second important thing, which i’m also trying to teach my children, at least this happens all the time with twos, that they didn’t give it to us there, didn't pass, so i got the wrong option and so on, i ’m trying to teach that a d is your d, there’s nothing wrong with that, yes, this is the result of your actions, let’s really discuss with you now, and what next time we can do so that you i didn’t get a bad grade, i won’t do your homework for you, i tell her, this is your task, have you ever done homework with your children? i say: but if you have a question, you can come to me at any time and you and i will do it, even if i’m somewhere far away, i’m on a business trip, call me, write me down voice, send me a photo of this homework, she understands that she has support, she does not close herself off from this, she may be afraid of teachers, maybe the teacher behaves in such a way that the child simply closes off, and you are trying to teach the child to cope with it , and i, as a pathological excellent student, as a pathological excellent student who always has 5:00, i

look at my children. i think, well, i probably don’t really want them to be like that, because i was an excellent student until i was 30 years old, this is some kind of lack of self-confidence, that you have to constantly prove something to someone, so i’m trying to prevent this from happening, it seems to me that we have come to a very important moment, it’s already roughly clear how to learn to be happy, is it necessary to do something special way to learn to be unhappy, and i would talk about getting the skill to cope with this, andrei just said, yes there is such a thing: the concept in psychology of containment, that is , the containment of emotions, negative emotions, many parents themselves do not know how to cope, unfortunately, with difficulties, yes, i don’t know, well, the boss was shouting, or maybe someone stepped on their foot, well, figuratively speaking, but they had a fight with their husband and the person doesn’t know how to cope with these emotions, which , well, in the end he lives, and he doesn’t know where, he starts yelling at the dog, at the child, and venting these emotions somewhere else.

yes, he doesn’t sit down, doesn’t write, doesn’t cry, doesn’t grieve, maybe he gets angry or goes to a boxing match somewhere to pour out these negative emotions, constructively, yes, and he can’t, accordingly, teach this to the child, and the child doesn’t know , he is afraid, he is hiding, one, yes, the second may be more protesting, but the fool himself is telling the parent, well, figuratively speaking, now we are still more about emotions, and i’m more about such a long state, because there are people who say this deeply... unhappy a person, and for him this is, well , in general, part of his identification, to change his thinking, again we are talking about the fact that happiness is a skill, the ability to be happy is a skill, and to change the thinking of a donkey when everything is bad, yes , to the fact that, again , you can see some positive aspects, and if a person feels good in this state, this is often such a manipulative strategy, look how

bad he is. and what does the victim want? she wants attention, when you don’t give her this attention, when i teach group classes, and one of them starts, oh, everything is bad, but he’s such an artist, yes. they rush right away to help, you need to do this, that is, please, this is what andrey also said about the desire to help, and i help, and i become happy, but this is not my true goal, well, that is, the behavior is learned, there is a victim, i am a rescuer, i rush to help, and then i rake again, because the victim says, you helped me wrong, well, figuratively speaking, it happens a lot. often this happens, so here you still need to be aware of what, what, or what role a person plays, or ask a question: i understand correctly that you want me to help you, what exactly, everything, the person has it all at once error, error, he doesn’t understand, but what he wants, he

understands that there you should feel sorry for him, somehow say some words, contain him, yes, that is, he does not ask himself, he does not know how to do this, hug me, please, tell me words of support, yes, that is, he does not know how to ask. he manipulates, believes that everyone should turn on like this at once. your formula of happiness, the quote from alexander lone suits me - this is a body-oriented therapist, happiness is the awareness of one’s growth, that is, it is not an end point - it is a path, again, it is development, growth, that is, you compete only with yourself, with yourself yourself, yeah, and your formula for happiness, my formula for happiness is to be here now, accept everything that... everything happens that i cannot influence, influence what i can influence, and think in such a way as to distinguish one from the other. well, friends, let’s write down the happiness formula of our experts. andrey shapenko, professor at the moscow okolkov school of management, elena guseva, family

provocative psychologist. we are pretty much closer to understanding how to be happy and how to be unhappy less often. a hint from a psychic. hello, this is the schrödinger’s cat podcast, and i’m its host, grigory tarasevich, editor-in-chief of the magazine, which is also called schrödinger's cat. and we are talking about important things from a scientific point of view. today's topic is very, very important. so modestly, the meaning of life, and we invited dmitry leontyev, professor, doctor of psychological sciences, head of the international laboratory of positive psychology of personality and motivation

at the higher school of economics, dmitry has many more credentials, but the main thing is that he is a psychologist who deals with issues of meaning, issues human existence. hello, let's try to talk. about the meaning life, i’m a little worried, because the topic is somehow downright frightening, what is the meaning of life? well, you know, there is such a simple joke: father, tell me, i live correctly, correctly, my son, only in vain, that is , the question of meaning is the question of whether we live in vain or not in vain, that’s what it’s all for, there is simply life, yes, our everyday life, we get up, brush our teeth, have breakfast,

connections between something smaller and something larger, with some individual elements of our life, with something global, and what would be, if this did not exist in our lives, what would happen if these people were not in our lives, if we did not what we are doing, but something else, yes, that’s how, can we do without it or we can’t, what is necessary in our life, what is not, we need proteins, fats, carbohydrates, there are vitamins, amino acids, this is what our body needs, our body, besides this, there is something else that our soul needs, yes? without which we cannot exist normally, without which we become not ourselves, we fall into some kind of depression, we find ourselves in some bad sad states, that is, we need positive emotions, we need a feeling of

connectedness with other people, we need, in particular, meaning, that is, an understanding that what we do is what we we live, it ’s not just like that, but it’s for something else, it’s always connected with something more. well , let's take a conventional, average, abstract person, it doesn't matter, a taxi driver, a manager, a schoolchild, a medical student, here he is... woke up in the morning, looked at the news on his smartphone, brushed his teeth, drank coffee, tea, went to study, to work, at what point does he need this meaning? you know, let's start even earlier, let's start from early childhood, because a small child, in any given situation, he enjoys life, he plays, he has fun, he rejoices, he laughs, or something is wrong, he cries, but every single fragment of his life is not... with other fragments of life, and what a small

child is doing now is in no way connected with what he did an hour ago and what or what he will do in half an hour, these are all separate episodes, they are in no way connected with each other, at one moment he feels some needs, some internal impulses, some desires, at another moment others, so, but somewhere around the age of 4-5 years it begins the process that is described as the formation of personality. as the formation of personality, as something single , our life ceases to be simply divided into some separate episodes, these episodes, they all begin to be pulled together into a single whole, and different desires, different needs also begin to be pulled together into a single whole, the question arises of what is more important, what is less important, what can be sacrificed for something else, what can be put off until later for something more important, what can be abandoned altogether, for what?

gradually form into a single puzzle. 4-5 years, as it were, when this usually happens, life takes on some kind of unified direction, but then the child grows up and becomes a teenager.

this is enough for most, this is enough, there is no need to rack your brains, there are ready-made answers, but there are people who need this for something, in which is not enough of these answers, general, standard, that like everyone else, like neighbors, they continue to ask the question why why in relation to their own lives, well, in essence, the first such detailed large book, which is devoted to this analysis of the problems of meaning life and its search, this is the book of lev nikolaevich our tolstoy’s confession.

this is such a wonderful autobiographical work, a small book of 100 pages, where tolstoy describes how, in the middle of his life, in the prime of his life, he suddenly encountered with a situation where everything in his life is generally wonderful. books are written, published, and the family blows away the dust. world fame, not a week goes by without some kind of walkers coming. what is all this for, well, this is a situation in which the problem of meaning can arise very acutely, when in general everything is good, there is everything except meaning, that is, the main question of the meaning of life is the question why, the question why, yes, why and this is the question , which requires an indication of the connection, yes, here is the connection with something else, a life that is devoid of meaning, which has no

meaning, this is a life that is not connected with anything, so a person lives one day, what will happen tomorrow. does not depend on what happens today, his life does not affect anything, does not affect the lives of other people in any way, a person will disappear from the face of the earth, and no one will notice this, this is a life that has no meaning, it has no meaning what is not connected, but a life that has meaning is a life that is connected with other people, my actions are also connected, my actions today are connected with my life, with what i will do tomorrow, because today i am doing something to make me feel better tomorrow. my life is directed towards the future, my life is connected with the lives of other people, i think, i care that what i do has some positive impact on the lives of other people, on the life of humanity as a whole, in general, ultimately on our common future, if we have it, that is, we, if we pose such

questions, then this is actually thinking about the meaning of life, one of the deepest thinkers who wrote on the problems of meaning... most people do without to every day to ask ourselves these questions, because if my life is already filled with meaning, if i feel that i am doing something for a reason, for this i do not need any philosophical reasoning, but i just

feel that what i do makes sense, someone actually needs it for something, it’s not just like that. in this case, i don’t need to wonder about it, this immediate sensation is enough for me, but in general it’s like the same conclusion that tolstoy reached at the end of his search for meaning there is a confession in the book, yes, he described the process, how he searched for the meaning of life, he first tried to find what life should be aimed at, what meaning it should have, read wise books, talked with enlightened people, found one answer, tried from monday, start life so that it...
