behavioural science 4
- A small, sustained reduction in selfishness compounds into a large positive change in a person over years.
- Positions of genuine respect are earned rather than granted undeservedly.

What Sasha Chapin says most about
Psychotherapy 4
- Letting go of the belief that grasping brings satisfaction makes a person happier but more alienated from others.
- A person cannot expect to find lasting balance between conflicting parts of their psychology.
motivation 3
- Practicing meditation for methods rather than for results is one of the most important principles in contemplative practice.
- Damaging experiences from meditation usually happen because practitioners chase results instead of following the method.
CBT 2
- How unhappy a person is depends on how often they believe circumstances should be different, not on the circumstances themselves.
- Dreading a future experience causes much of human suffering by making that imagined suffering happen now.
discipline 2
- A person cannot expect to find lasting balance between conflicting parts of their psychology.
- Neither the claim that great things only come without force nor the call for constant discipline describes reality.
happiness 2
- How unhappy a person is depends on how often they believe circumstances should be different, not on the circumstances themselves.
- Letting go of the belief that grasping brings satisfaction makes a person happier but more alienated from others.
