Robert Sapolsky. the guy is a neuroendocrinologist, professor at Stanford, spent decades watching baboons in Africa.
wrote a book called behave that’s basically 800 pages of “your brain is lying to you about who’s in charge.”
and honestly? it’s messing with me in the best way.
disclaimer: this is my first attempt to digest his work. i’m no neuroscientist. just a guy in bengaluru trying to figure out why i do the stupid things i do.</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://virtueofvague.com/posts/robert-sapolsky/featured.png"/></item><item><title>The happiness of Heart</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/the-happiness-of-heart/</link><pubDate>Thu, 25 Dec 2025 12:30:30 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/the-happiness-of-heart/</guid><description>Happiness.
For decades, we’ve chased it like something lost, something to discover out there in the world.
But true happiness isn’t found. It’s built. And it can only be built by us especially from within.
We can’t force it by constantly thinking about it. Instead, we stay happy by choosing a lifestyle of happiness: That is quietly eliminating toxic thoughts that create toxic realities.
When we let go of negativity, space opens for peace.</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://virtueofvague.com/posts/the-happiness-of-heart/featured.png"/></item><item><title>Hope in the Hopelessness</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/hope-in-the-hope-less-ness/</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Dec 2025 13:40:43 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/hope-in-the-hope-less-ness/</guid><description>Hope is that quiet force giving us a reason to live,
to laugh,
to love,
to stay happy, even when everything feels heavy.
For a beggar, hope is the key to facing another day.
For a patient, it’s the strength to hold on for tomorrow.
One of my most loved short story about hope:
All the villagers gathered to pray for rain after a long drought. Everyone came empty-handed… except one boy who brought an UMBRELLA.</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://virtueofvague.com/posts/hope-in-the-hope-less-ness/featured.png"/></item><item><title>Powerful Positivity</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/powerful-positivity/</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Dec 2025 13:40:43 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/powerful-positivity/</guid><description>Most of the time,
“The problem is not a problem, it is how we see the problem that is the problem.”
The solution always lies within us. A positive mind, a soul with positive vibes, can transform any challenge.
Remember: “A positive mind has a solution for every problem, but a negative mind has a problem with every solution.”
A single positive thought creates a positive frequency.
It builds an aura of calm and possibility, leading to a truly positive mind.</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://virtueofvague.com/posts/powerful-positivity/featured.png"/></item><item><title>Hello, :)</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/welcome_to_mindsecset/</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Dec 2025 20:50:14 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/welcome_to_mindsecset/</guid><description>Welcome to MindSecSet!!</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://virtueofvague.com/posts/welcome_to_mindsecset/featured.png"/></item><item><title>Hello, :)</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/welcome_to_knowthebetter/</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Dec 2025 16:09:49 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/posts/welcome_to_knowthebetter/</guid><description>Welcome to Know The Better</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://virtueofvague.com/posts/welcome_to_knowthebetter/featured.png"/></item><item><title>About</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/about/</link><pubDate>Sat, 20 Dec 2025 20:50:15 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/about/</guid><description>Hi, I’m Prakash Ayyanagoudar.</description></item><item><title>Breath &amp; Be</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/games/breath/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/games/breath/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Emotion Profiling</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/games/profiling/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/games/profiling/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Lost in Universe</title><link>https://virtueofvague.com/games/universe/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><author>prakashpayyanagoudar@gmail.com (Virtue of Vague)</author><guid>https://virtueofvague.com/games/universe/</guid><description/></item></channel></rss>
