"In a sense, the notion that thoughts create reality is more than just a nice idea; it’s also a fact of evolution. It was because of language and thought that we could create a world within our minds, and ultimately, it is because of language and thought that we have evolved into the society we have today—for better and for worse."

"The objectivity required to see the effects of present monoculture is very difficult to develop. Once you have so deeply accepted an idea as “truth” it doesn’t register as “cultural” or “subjective” anymore." "You think that to change your beliefs, you have to adopt a new line of thinking, rather than seek experiences that make that thinking self-evident. A belief is what you know to be true because experience has made it evident to you. If you want to change your life, change your beliefs. If you want to change your beliefs, go out and have experiences that make them real to you. Not the opposite way around" "You believe that creating your best life is a matter of deciding what you want and then going after it, but in reality, you are psychologically incapable1 of being able to predict what will make you happy. Your brain can only perceive what it’s known, so when you choose what you want for the future, you’re actually just recreating a solution or an ideal of the past. When things don’t work out the way you want them to, you think you’ve failed only because you didn’t re-create something you perceived as desirable. In reality, you likely created something better, but foreign, and your brain misinterpreted it as “bad” because of that. (Moral of the story: Living in the moment isn’t a lofty ideal reserved for the Zen and enlightened; it’s the only way to live a life that isn’t infiltrated with illusions. It’s the only thing your brain can actually comprehend."

"The most successful people in history—the ones many refer to as “geniuses” in their fields, masters of their crafts—had one thing in common, other than talent: Most adhered to rigid (and specific) routines...[T]he point is not what the routine consists of, but how steady and safe your subconscious mind is made through repetitive motions and expected outcomes."

What your big objective is. If you don’t know what you generally want to do with your precious, limited time here, you’re not going to do much of anything at all.

Book Review

101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Wiest is basically like a collection of high-quality personal development blog posts. It was a nice and thought-provoking read full of great lessons. The main ones repeatedly appeared throughout the book, so they were really made to stick.

1. Truly living means feeling all feelings to their fullest

If you were always happy, you wouldn’t feel happy at all because you wouldn’t be having the necessary contrast to sadness or any other negative emotion. 

Being happy would just be normal. It would feel good but a bit ‘meh.’ Just like rich people get used to spending insane amounts of money without blinking an eye, you wouldn’t even see yourself as particularly happy if you didn’t experience the alternative. 

Furthermore, your life would stagnate. 

After all, besides chasing pleasure, the biggest motivator for many people is to escape the pain. 

We don’t want to worry about money anymore, so we study hard to get a good job; we don’t want to feel restricted by a 9-to-5 lifestyle anymore, so we build a business, and we are sick of feeling ugly take care of our appearance. 

Previously unimaginable amazing things have resulted from humans wanting a better life. 

None of us would ever live life with our full potential if we always were happy. 

So embrace your negative emotions as well!

2. You’re not meant to be happy all the time

“Negative emotions are good for you. In fact, maintaining a consistent experience of only “happiness”—or any emotion, really—would be a sign of mental illness.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

“The goal is not to feel “good” all the time, it’s to be able to express a healthy range of emotion without suppressing or suffering.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

“Happy people are not people who “feel good” all the time; they are the people who are able to be guided by their negative emotions rather than paralyzed by them.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

“Pain is a signal that something’s wrong, suffering is what happens when we don’t heed it.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

There is a lot of talk in the online world about being a high vibe all the time. Some gurus sell their formula to a high vibe life to hopeful customers. 

And many of those high vibe tips work … until they don’t. 

You can’t avoid negative feelings forever. 

Beyond the previously mentioned point that truly living includes feeling all emotions to the fullest, there is also another reason you shouldn’t suppress negative emotions. 

They are making you aware of a problem you need to deal with. 

The more you suppress your negative emotions instead of dealing with the root of them, the more issues will pop up in your life: anger management issues, anxiety, stress-induced health issues, etc.

Those negative feelings will persist the more you resist them. Instead, healthily deal with them, and if necessary, don’t hesitate to take advantage of professional help. 

3. Life isn’t about goals but the person you become through the pursuit of them

“The point of hard work is to recognize the person it makes you, not what it “gets” you” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

“Accomplishing goals is not success. How much you expand in the process is.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

“The point of anything is not what you get from having done it; it’s who you become from having gone through it. It’s all about growth at the end of the day. “ – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

Our society has become very goal-oriented. The internet is full of content that’s supposed to help you hustle towards your next big goal.

However, it’s actually not the actual achievement of the goal that makes the biggest difference in your life. It’s more about who you become during the journey. 

If you learn to see the benefit in work in between and actually enjoy it, you will lead a happier life and be more at peace. 

You won’t just live for the fleeting moment in which you achieve your goal and until you set sight onto your next aim. Instead, you’ll live for the process, as well.

4. Some of your dreams might break, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on a bright future

“Don’t confuse a broken dream with a broken future.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

Sometimes, we build this elaborate mental construct of our ideal life around this one dream scenario. 

The longer you have this picture of your future, and the more you want it, the more it’s going to hurt when that bubble pops.

Teh sudden realization that this dream isn’t feasible can be dishartening and depressing. 

It might take you a while to get over your loss of perspective for your future. 

However, you should always remember that a future equally as good or even better is waiting for you to claim it. 

Often enough, we end up idolizing our dream life without realizing that the actual day-to-day routine wouldn’t be ideal for us at all. 

Luckily, there is always another, if not better, dream waiting for you. 

5. Stop planning your happiness and start feeling it now

“You cannot save up your happiness; you can either feel it in the moment, or you miss it. It’s that simple.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

Anyone who is more prone to overthinking than spontaneous actions has probably postponed their happiness at least once in their life.

This can look like forcing yourself to watch a series more slowly than you’d like because you want to have something to look forward to in the next few days. 

Or perhabs you have this really deliciously scented candle, and you want to save it for a ‘special occasion, but then it just ends up lying around for years instead of providing you joy now.

Trying to plan our happiness can rob us of the very thing we are trying to secure. 

For example, often enough, the excitement of the series or with the candle might fade, and you don’t enjoy it later on as much as you would have now. 

Or you even forget about it entirely. 

There will be plenty of reasons for you to feel happy in the future. 

Don’t act as if your happiness is a limited resource that carefully needs to be distributed across time. 

Be happy now, first and foremost!

6. You should be living life and not just think about it

“Make sure you’re living more than you’re thinking about living.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

It is easy to fall into the habit of overanalyzing your life, especially as an introverted overthinker interested in personal development. 

As such, we have to put a conscious effort into actually living life. 

Stop creating all those Pinterest boards full of cute aesthetic cafés and instead take your laptop or book and spontaneously spend a few hours in one.

Stop planning out the perfect business idea in little detail and just start working on something. 

And please stop obsessing over whether or not you’re ‘behind in life.’ Instead, take one step forward in a direction that’ll make you feel less behind.

You won’t remember all the things you’ve contemplated in life. What you will remember and be remembered for are the things you did. So start doing them!

7. Be careful to imagine your life as a synopsis

“You have to stop living for how other people will remember you. Stop living by telling yourself the story that you think other people will be happy reading.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

This book made me aware that I am guilty of viewing my life from the outside and as a synopsis. 

Do you envy the impressive CV of successful people?

Do you imagine what your CV will look like one of these days?

And have you ever imagined how other people will introduce you?

If you do, you are also having a synopsis-like view of your life.

You can keep imagining your life’s synopsis if it motivates you but redirects your focus on your life from your own perspective if you get increasingly disappointed.

8. Your fear is not only a warning but also a guiding sign

“Not wanting to do something would make you feel indifferent about it. Fear = interest.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

“The presence of indifference is a sign you’re on the wrong path. Fear means you’re trying to move toward something you love, but your old beliefs, or unhealed experiences, are getting in the way.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

Not every fear is a sign of danger. More often than not, fear is a sign that you are interested in something that lies outside your comfort zone. 

To step outside your comfort zone, you might have overcome limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging habits or simply push yourself through it.

If you do that, you will experience immense growth, and your momentum will make it easier for you to follow other interests that have been appearing as fears.

9. Don’t let your past self dictate how you live your life today

“You owe nothing to your younger self. You are not responsible for being the person you once thought you’d be.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

“There is no way you will be able to predict or plan what will be happening in 5 years from now. If you can predict and plan for that, dream bigger. Try harder.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

My younger self of five years ago would have never been able to predict the kind of person I am today with all my interests and passions. 

I’m sure to at very least a small extent, it’s the same for you. 

So why would we think we can make a 5-year plan for our life that is guaranteed to make us happy? 

You might dedicate your entire high school life to getting the grades necessary formed or law school because you’ve set it into your head that this is your dream career. 

Does that guarantee you will like the college courses or the actual career? No!

So don’t force yourself to finish a 5- or even 10-year plan just because you are already a few years into it if you honestly hate it.

There is a fine line between stubborn persistence and foolish stubbornness; be careful what side you’re on.  

10. Embrace your embarrassing past

“You’re supposed to be embarrassed of your younger self—really. It’s a mark of progress.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

Many people cringe when they see pictures of or hear stories about their younger selves. 

They obsess over how they could have done better and why they did this or that. 

But the thing is, back then, it was most likely the best you had to offer. 

The fact that you could do so much better nowadays should make you proud of how much you’ve grown. 

Focus on that instead of on the embarrassing thing nobody, but you obsesses over.

11. The things you love and hate about others tell you a lot about yourself

“You love in others what you love in yourself. You hate in others what you cannot see in yourself.” – Brianna Wiest (101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think)

If you have a very strong reaction to people who interrupt others, perhaps that’s because you refuse to admit to yourself that you are prone to interrupting others as well. 

If you absolutely hate women caked full of makeup, perhaps that’s because you don’t want to admit to yourself that you’d like to be able to make up as expertly as them (though not necessarily as much of it as them).

After all, if you don’t care about it, you would feel indifferent towards it.

Take your strong emotions as cues to find out more about you and heal your hate by finally admitting to yourself the things you’ve been keeping suppressed.

Comment down below on your favorite lesson from the book. 

Until next time!

Book Review: '101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think'

In a world filled with information and passing thoughts and ideas, the need for constant reflection, enlightenment and insight is greater than ever. "101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think" is a collection of essays writtn by many thinkers and philosophers to guide their readers through the long journey of understanding the world.

The book, edited by Brianna Wiest, offers a profound journey in the realm of the human mind and thoughts. It provides various perspectives on certain topics and challenges some already existing beliefs and perceptions engraved in the human mind.

The book inspires people to contemplate and think about some existential questions while providing insights and advice for day-to-day challenges and problems. The book discusses topics from self-discovery, love, relationships and resilience to society and its role in shaping people's realities. Some of the essays focus on personal development, which encourages people to start the journey of self-discovery, while others question social conventions and norms, urging people to think critically.

One of the good things that '101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think' offers is that the essays included are not dense nor complicated but rather concise and easy to read. Therefore, it allows the readers to read thoroughly and reflect on the ideas and thoughts provided. Another thing that makes the book stand out is its timelessness, where it blends modern discoveries with classic philosophical concepts. Thus, readers from different generations can relate and benefit from its content.

One of the essays that I personally have found fascinating and live-changing is 'Subconscious Behaviors that are Keeping You from Having the Life You Want." The author explains how people, throughout their lives, accept certain ideas and beliefs as the absolute truth and then run their lives accordingly. For example, we humans tend to associate fear with bad, terrible things, but that is not entirely right because when people do something they are interested in, they feel afraid because they care about doing it right. However, if they feel indifferent, they are not that interested.

"101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think" is an enriching book that combines wisdom, legibility and diversity in a way that makes reading enjoyable and beneficial. Its insightful essays encourage the readers to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and intellectual growth that can change perspectives and challenge preconceived notions.

The book 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is a collection of short online essays collated into printed form. These essays share a general theme and genre but are not grouped or themed in clusters; they are stand-alone pieces. The collection is unified by an Introduction that sets out Wiest’s general approach: that self-knowledge and self-compassion are important for well-being and that each person has the ability to obtain these through their own mental processes.

Although the essays are varied, in aggregate they address a number of broader topics. Wiest consistently argues that people only allow themselves to feel a certain level of happiness because of fear. Many negative feelings result from people’s fear of discomfort. She also asserts throughout that daily practice leads to happiness, through a daily commitment to reaching gratitude and satisfaction with what one has. Wiest discusses the idea that chasing life narratives or expectations will not lead to happiness. Chasing a certain narrative about one’s life plays into futures that are impossible to predict. It is futile, she argues, for someone to decide what they want once and chase it forever. What a person wants is constantly changing. She urges the reader to consider the question “What do I want?” every day.

Throughout, Wiest’s essays explore psychological ideas like attachment styles and happiness thresholds alongside philosophical ideas that ask the purpose and meaning of one’s life. She explores relationships, emotions, self-improvement, the limits and opportunities of the modern world, creativity, and mindfulness, offering advice and reflection prompts.

Book Summary 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think , by Brianna Wiest

When we don’t feel good, we often assume that our circumstances are at fault and that we must change them to improve the way we feel. But, what if we’re going about this the wrong way?

In 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think , bestselling author and poet Brianna Wiest explores the interplay between your thoughts, your perceptions, and the way you experience life. She argues that unwanted life circumstances aren’t to blame for your bad feelings—only your thoughts about these circumstances are. Therefore, there’s only one solution to make yourself feel better: Change the way you think.

This guide discusses Wiest’s ideas on how your thoughts influence the way you interpret life, why it’s so hard to control how you think, and what you can do to manage your thoughts and feelings about yourself and your experiences. Additionally, we’ll expand upon each of Wiest’s ideas with research, advice, and actionable ideas from psychologists and self-improvement practitioners.

101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think Summary Part #1: Your Thoughts Determine How You Interpret Everything

Wiest argues that the only way to change the way you feel about the people and things that make you feel bad is to change the way you think about them . To understand her argument, you first need to grasp one key idea: There’s no such thing as an objective experience—meaning that there’s no one “right” way to interpret your experiences.

Wiest explains that no experience has inherent qualities of its own—such as being good, bad, right, or wrong. You only assign these values to them because of the way you think about and interpret them. Therefore, it’s not your experiences that determine how you feel, but your thoughts about these experiences.

Your Thoughts Create Your Experiences While many self-help authors mirror Wiest’s view that your thoughts determine how you interpret experiences, Norman Vincent Peale ( The Power of Positive Thinking ) takes this idea one step further. He claims that your thoughts aren’t only a response to your experiences, but are also the cause of your experiences . He...

101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think Summary Part #2: You’re Not Conscious of Your Thoughts or Why You Think Them

Since everything you experience is simply a reflection of the way you think, it follows then, that to experience things differently, you just need to change your thoughts. However, Wiest argues, before you can change your thoughts, you first need to become conscious of them and understand why you currently think the way that you do. In this second part of the guide, we’ll explain why you don’t have complete autonomy over the way you think and how this impacts the way you interpret your experiences, how you experience happiness, and how you judge yourself.

(Shortform note: Many self-help practitioners agree that understanding why you think the way that you do is the key to changing your thoughts . Without this understanding, you’re more likely to believe that your thoughts are entirely rational (because your experiences justify your thoughts), and you won’t feel motivated to change the way that you think about or interpret your experiences.)

You Subconsciously Think Like Others To Feel Happy

While you might believe that you consciously control your thoughts, Wiest claims that you’re...

101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think Summary Part #3: Chasing Validation Makes You Unhappy

We’ve just explained how the mental associations you unconsciously formed as a child compel you to engage in two unhealthy thought patterns:

• Interpreting others’ responses to you as an indication of how happy you deserve to be
• Continually looking for ways to fix yourself so that you can elicit positive feedback—and thus feel more deserving of happiness

According to Wiest, relying on positive feedback to feel happy creates a breeding ground for unwanted experiences and negative feelings. This is because seeking validation compels you to engage in two habits that disconnect you from your true needs and make you feel powerless to change your emotions: suppressing your feelings and pursuing the wrong goals.

Let’s explore how these two habits contribute to unwanted experiences and feelings of powerlessness in more detail.

Negative Habit #1: You Suppress Your Feelings

According to Wiest, your conditioning inadvertently taught you to believe that some feelings are unacceptable or bad. As a result, you feel ashamed each time these feelings come up, pretend that you don’t feel them, and try to avoid people and situations that might trigger them. You also judge other...

101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think Summary Part #4: Think for Yourself

We’ve just discussed how social conditioning influences you to think and behave in ways that leave you feeling unhappy and powerless to change your feelings. In this final part of the guide, we’ll explore ways to become more conscious of your thoughts so that you can take better control of them and improve the way you feel.

Wiest argues that, though your conditioning is pervasive, you can overcome it, learn to think for yourself, and feel better about yourself and your experiences. She suggests four methods to help you achieve this.

Method #1: Take Responsibility for Your Thoughts and Emotions

According to Wiest, before you can effectively take control of your thoughts and emotions, you first need to acknowledge that you’re the only one responsible for them. Recognizing this fact encourages you to:

• Understand how your thoughts influence the way you interpret and feel about your experiences.
• Realize when you’re giving control of your thoughts and feelings to things outside of you—for example, when you credit or blame other people or situations for your emotions.
• Explore ways to think differently about the people and things that make you feel bad—because you know...

Why people love using Shortform

"I LOVE Shortform as these are the BEST summaries I’ve ever seen...and I’ve looked at lots of similar sites. The 1-page summary and then the longer, complete version are so useful. I read Shortform nearly every day."

Shortform Exercise: Practice Changing Your Thoughts

Wiest argues that unwanted experiences aren’t to blame for your bad feelings, only your thoughts about these experiences are. Developing awareness of your thoughts will help you intentionally create more positive feelings.

Describe a situation that often makes you feel bad. (For example, every time you tell your mother about your relationship problems, she takes your partner’s side and implies that you’re in the wrong.)
