• 00:05:00 Death is a book by Jason Silva that he recommends to everyone. He states that the difference between the neurotic and the artist is precisely the fact that the neurotic cannot create. He says that both of them are highly sensitive, both of them are acutely aware of the human condition, and both of them bite off more than they can chew. He also says that the artist feels the same angst but turns it into an active work project. The solution to the human condition, according to Sheldon Solomon, is to figure out something creative that you can do with that fire in your belly. By finding something creative that you can do with that existential angst, you will eventually be able to live a fulfilling life.
