Does Naval Ravikant Think a Stress-free Mind Is the Goal?
at 0:20
Answer
Naval Ravikant, on Happiness Is Peace in Motion, defined stress as one thing pulled two ways. A person is stressed when two wants cannot both be true: rest and finish the work, or the party and the office. Give one up, or accept that it is out of your control, and the strain drops. The mind adds strain on its own. Say not to picture a white elephant, and you picture it. His line is that peace is happiness at rest and happiness is peace in motion. The aim is peace, and more activity will not produce it. Understanding will. He tied that to the old phrase that the name of God is truth.
