TED Talk We’re Watching 🎥
“This Could Be Why You’re Depressed or Anxious” — Jonathan Hari’s TED Talk This was one of the most illuminating talks I’ve seen on the topic of depression and anxiety. Jonathan spent years traveling the world interviewing experts to understand the root causes to - and surprising treatments for - depression and anxiety. If you or someone you know struggle with mental illness, give this short video a watch. It can reframe how you think about the illness. Key takeaway: the primary cause of depression is not your biology, but rather a result of multiple factors in how we live.
Quote That Has Us Thinking 🧠
“It seems to me that the real problem is the mind itself, and not the problem which the mind has created and tries to solve. If the mind is petty, small, narrow, limited, however great and complex the problem may be, the mind approaches that problem in terms of its own pettiness.” — Jiddu Krishnamurti
