“

“A little-known piece of trivia,” Altman announced. “This smell, after it rains for the first time. You know what’s that called?”

“Is this going to freak me out?” Williams said.

“Petrichor,” Altman said. “It’s my favorite smell. You only get to smell this once or twice a year, because it has to not rain for a while, and then rain. It’s the smell of summers in St. Louis.”

“Petrichor?” Williams said, uncertainly.

“Petrichor,” Altman said.

“

Your fundamental needs take precedence: health, food, shelter. If these three needs are not met, then nothing else is going to make you happy and not having them is going to make you miserable. But assuming you have those needs met, then research indicates that the experiences which create the most happiness are:

New and unique activities.
Shared experiences with others and building relationships.
Passion activities.

“He pointed out that there’s a lot of “reality” in the virtual, and a lot of “virtual” in our reality. When we use a phone or a computer we’re still flesh-and-blood humans, occupying time and space. When we’re frolicking through a field somewhere, our gadgets stowed far away, the internet still impacts our thinking: “Will I tweet about this when I get back?””

“Self-transcendence is a repeatable experiment. Here’s one way of describing the experiment: Pay close enough attention to the nature of your own mind—to the flow of thoughts, moods, sensations, and perceptions in the present—and you can notice that the feeling of being a self, an ego, a thinker of thoughts in the midst of experience, is an illusion. Which is to say that you can actually discover the absence of the feeling that you call “I”. You still have thoughts, moods, sensations, perceptions, but there it will be clear that there is no self riding around in your head owning these experiences.”

“When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.”

“There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed.”

- Bertrand Russell (via tresbongout)
