Happiness is a LIE - Do This Instead
Happiness, sweet happiness, from advertisements to religion to romance novels, happiness is sought in every corner of human life. Sadly, we have been sold a lie. In a world filled with false signals, signs that say, "happiness here," we find ourselves reaching nothing but dead ends. In this video, we explore why this has happened and what kind of mindset we should adopt instead of simply pursuing happiness. Many themes from philosophy are helpful, but the key here is learning to live life on your own terms, and in doing so happiness will find you when you least expect it.

From Lost Soul To Laughing Heart: Charles Bukowski Will Change Your Life
Charles Bukowski is often referred called the average man's poet. In this video I wanted to draw attention to the forgotten majority, the hard-working people who make the world turn but struggle for scraps. From lonely truck drivers to unappreciated office workers, the world is filled with people who spend most of their lives trying to deal with the fact that their dreams will never come true. With all the wealth and abundance in the world, why are so many of us lonely and lost? Well, part of the tragedy is that the answer to living a happier life is right in front of us. Bukowski shows us we don't need the wealth, power, or status. He brings the rich and powerful down into the muck and shows us that being normal is nothing short of incredible. If you want to free yourself from the chains this world lays upon you, this video about, writer and poet Charles Bukowski is for you.

Carl Jung - Secrets of the Deep Unconscious
Carl Jung has become famous for his work in the field of psychology, but it goes far beyond that field. From philosophy to mythology and religion, Carl Jung's world of the deep unconscious offers us a glimpse into a connected human experience. Jung believed we could encounter figures, called archetypes, that represent core elements of metaphysical reality that could guide us on our path to self-discovery. In this video, we bring you a succinct explanation and guide toward beginning your own journey within the depths of your mind. While concepts like synchronicity and the shadow are always in play, we focus on the compelling world of the collective unconscious.

Friedrich Nietzsche: The Philosopher Who Took On The World
Friedrich Nietzsche was a philosopher who sought to construct an entirely new outlook on life. His philosophy is bold, provocative, beautiful, and at times its harsh truths can even be painful. But they are, according to him, necessary for us to become strong and free. The Philosophy of Nietzsche has seen some significant coverage on YouTube in recent years, but much of what has been covered doesn't penetrate the true depth of his philosophy and life lessons. In this video, you will see a man who wants nothing more than to show everyone that even when it seems like you’ve lost everything, like the very framework of your life has collapsed in on you, there is a secret power within you so potent and universal that it's worth fighting for. Nietzsche’s philosophy is not a collection of works, it is not an encyclopedia of facts and principles to memorize, it is a deeply human journey, and one that calls out to everyone. From the lowliest peasant to the richest king, everyone can, and deserves, to hear what Nietzsche has to say. And so, I present to you the life, mind, and philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.

The Man Who Went Beyond The Universe - A Short Story
The Man Who Went Beyond The Universe is a fictional story that delivers a message about the true meaning of life. When humans pick up a signal on Earth that indicates the presence of advanced alien life forms, a mission is launched to go to the source of this signal. This video follows the man selected for this mission as he arrives at this object. But what he finds is not what he or anyone else expects. The man who goes beyond space and time to discover the secrets of the universe finds answers that initially trouble and confuse him, but that eventually come full circle to the human condition and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. If we want eternal wisdom, we must be willing to sacrifice it all and strong enough to receive it back. This is the true path to philosophical wisdom.

It was clear from a young age that he was destined for great things, but he was plagued by his own gifted mind and often struggled to fit in.

Kierkegaard's Philosophy - How To Believe In Yourself Against All Odds
Kierkegaard shows you how to believe in yourself no matter how difficult the road ahead is. Soren Kierkegaard was a 19th-century Danish philosopher who would come to be known as the father of existentialism. He was obsessed with concepts like angst, dread, and faith, and through his struggle would reveal some incredible wisdom on how to live a life as an independent individual. Kierkegaard shocked everyone when he broke off his engagement, threw away his career, and pursued the life of a philosopher without any warning. Locking himself away and tackling some of the most difficult problems known to humanity, Kierkegaard would take on the whole world in the pursuit of his dream of saving the world from decline. In studying Kierkegaard, we can learn how to have the confidence to stop wasting time and change our lives forever.

The Philosophy of Doing Drugs
The philosophy of doing drugs is our attempt to shed light on the history of human drug use, its lost purposes, and how to understand how we should frame our relationship with drugs in the modern world. Drugs are as old as human culture and even older than civilization and writing. From psychedelic experiences to coming of age rituals, drugs have played a critical role in the growth of human consciousness. Our modern world, however, has abused these substances, turning them into machines of profit and pain, but it wasn't always like this. In this video, we simply want to expose some of the lies and biases that have come to cloud our understanding of drugs, and it is through what we call the philosophy of doing drugs that we may come to see how it is our ancestors built the foundations of our modern civilization.
Disclaimer: This video does not in any way condone or advocate for drug use.

Aldous Huxley's Philosophy Will Change Your Life - Overcome Your Servitude
Aldous Huxley's philosophy, which is expressed both in his book Brave New World and his various other works, paints a dystopian future that can be difficult to understand. With each passing day, however, we find ourselves struggling to avoid the exact fate Huxley predicted. In this video, we discuss some of Huxley's core points as well as his weird and interesting take on the benefits of psychedelic drugs. Aldous Huxley thought that these drugs could help us access new doors of perception, and potentially liberate us from a world that wants to rob us of creativity and vitality.

The Life and Philosophy of Michel Foucault
Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, historian, and public intellectual who is remembered for his method of using historical research to illuminate changes in discourse over time. Foucault was a thinker in the most active sense and saw his work as a way to finally break the cycle of breaking chains just to reforge chains for ourselves through some new ideology. Michel Foucault's philosophy is challenging, it can tear down the stories that many of us put our faith in, but the payoff is a freedom that no one can ever take from you.
