Philosophy For a Quiet Mind

Who doesn’t want a quiet mind? I think most people do, although many don’t even realize it. It’s the reason we drink, smoke a joint, binge-watch series on Netflix, and check our smartphones.

We want an escape from our over-encumbered minds that torment us with repetitive thinking patterns about what happened today, and what might happen tomorrow.

A Patreon named Jacob asked me for philosophical ideas we can use to quiet our mind and, basically, feel less overwhelmed by daily life. So, I turned to different philosophers for answers.

Now, for starters, let’s do some backward thinking. If our goal is to achieve a quiet mind, we should find out what exactly causes a noisy mind first. The answer is very simple: a noisy mind is caused by overthinking. Excessive thinking patterns can be dangerous and I made a video about this if you want to know why.

Most philosophers that were concerned with obtained inner peace, came to the conclusion that the way we use our minds decides how we feel. However, there are different philosophical viewpoints on how this works. So, let's dive in.
