Thriving is childishly simple:

- Eat real food

- Move your body

- Get sunlight

- Sleep deeply

- Love fiercely

- Work until you have enough

- Give away your surplus

- Speak truth

- Accept what comes

What is not simple is the courage to live it in a world whose entire identity depends on you not living it.

The knowledge has always been free and open source and accessible to everyone.

If you value freedom then this is your list. If something is preventing any of these then you know where the work needs to be done.

The courage required is not to do anything heroic. It is simply to stop believing the programming and start living the obvious.

The rest is entertainment

the ‘work’ part can be the not simple part and get in the way of several of these …

Curious which ones?

well, it seems to be a common pattern that workplace management structures tend to not value the individual. Especially workplaces that pay a decent to okay salary.

So when the individual is not valued, they are either ignored, treated in impersonal ways, or actively devalued (i.e., being managed out).

So, depending on the intensity of that experience, all the things on the list could be negatively affected. You also left out one - basic household chores, like cleaning related.

I don’t agree that all of the things on the list would be negatively affected. In fact I think it would make the effectiveness even more pronounced. Certainly true you could be in a workplace structure that doesn’t allow for some of these to take place during your workday but outside of that they are unaffected. You also have the optionally to leave a workplace that is not conducive to things on this list. Yes there is risk involved but greatly rewarded by the things that actually matter
