There is this dumb puritanical advice that older people often give to younger people: "You’ll PAY later in life for all that reckless fun you have in your 20s! I wish I hadn’t partied so much when I was young, now I have all these problems…"It's dumb advice because it’s ineffective - I don’t think it convinces young people to live more responsibly. It also comes across as hypocritical - "I was a hedonist, but you shouldn’t be one!" Instead, I encourage younger people (and everybody else, really) to be hedonists, but not the same kinds of hedonists those regretful old Gen Xers and Boomers were. Ethical hedonism is the philosophy of choosing the greater pleasure over the lesser pleasure.6:12 Lives ruined and wrecked by pleasure-seeking9:58 What is hedonism?13:02 History14:25 Ethical hedonism18:35 Sex23:00 Alcohol28:17 Drugs39:48 Partying35:15 Food40:57 "I don't judge.”43:04 Conscious hedonism52:26 Bottom line53:40 Example: Ethical pizza and beer?Everything mentioned here 📑 To access my complete library of happiness hacks, ethical hedonism philosophy, and mental health tools to empower well-beinghttps://www.limitlessmindset.com/Happiness-Hacks-LibraryConfused?If you invest at least $300 in your Biohacking via LimitlessMindset.com, I will include a 30-minute free Biohacking consulting call with you.
