A Humans-Only Philosophy Club

The Philosophy Forums at OnlinePhilosophyClub.com aim to be an oasis of intelligent in-depth civil debate and discussion. Topics discussed extend far beyond philosophy and philosophers. What makes us a philosophy forum is more about our approach to the discussions than what subject is being debated. Common topics include but are absolutely not limited to neuroscience, psychology, sociology, cosmology, religion, political theory, ethics, and so much more.

This is a humans-only philosophy club. We strictly prohibit bots and AIs from joining.

It showed me that we can all find happiness if we accept that we’re all alike, each trying to live our best life. Being unkind to others means overlooking the beauty in our shared struggles and efforts.
So true. In addition to what you mentioned, I believe that there is no objective value in anything we see, have, share, etc. Rather we have societal norms and values. Within that we each have created our own masks and false selves as well. Beneath these layers can be found the real you and me, and everyone else who are a part of a shared consciousness and a universe, struggling in the same struggle, yet unknowingly. This book guides us to understand that as a matter of fact.

This was happening with me after reading the book.. The lessons and advise all are emerging in my mind and i also give advise to other on books basis.. So it was a great experience.
That is a great way to see and understand the content of the book properly. I will try to imagine what sort of images and mind maps you are getting after reading this book. I now have created tons of such images and mind maps related to what this book is talking about, and creating more of such images open pathways for newer ways of understanding the content of the book.

It is good that you advise others based on the content of this book. But I would like to kindly remind what Scott has said in his book:
If you think the advice is good to follow, then follow it yourself.

Seemingly you have had mixed thoughts when buying this book. I am glad that the book ultimately cleared your doubts and ended up not making you regret the decision that you made to purchase it.

Would you mind sharing some of the valuable lessons that you learned from this book? At the same time, what is your opinion on this book as a philosophical book?

I too got the feeling that some of the stuff are repeating when reading (and re-reading) this book, although I didn't feel that those were redundant at that time. But now after reading your comment, I see that to register some of the complex and relatively new subjects in our minds, it is necessary to keep on telling repeatedly, and seemingly it has had a great effect on myself.

Seemingly the opening question (this made me to think a lot) and the subsequent questions have given you a lot to think, even stealing your sleep for good. Anyway, Scott creates a great platform for the reader to ponder and him to play with these questions and he bats well in his own ground answering these questions and sharing many more, enlightening us, the readers.

Quite true. I would rather say, Scott directs the reader to accept one's own self as well as the others as they are, with all the positives and negatives and embrace fully with empathy. And to understand that we are all a part of a shared consciousness, only separated by the many layers that we have used to cover ourselves, hence a part of a common struggle who are in it together.

I agree that it is a great philosophical book. Could you share some insights that you gained from reading the book, and how the things you learned affected your own life in a positive manner? What are your thoughts on the philosophical content of the book rather than it being a great read overall?
