... statism systematically violates the rights of individuals and is, therefore, immoral. Because it suppresses the mind and violates men's rights, it thereby causes abysmal poverty and is utterly impractical.

More quotes by Andrew Bernstein
People around the world now complain about stressors everyday, and the word shows up throughout professional and lay literature. But in reality there is no such thing as a stressor. Why not? Because nothing has the inherent power to provoke stress.
Andrew Bernstein
If you're successful and stressed out, you're succeeding in spite of your stress, not because of it.
Andrew Bernstein
Find the beliefs that are strangling your feelings, challenge them for your sake as well as theirs, and see how it feels to love someone without a thought about the future, simply for who they are today.
Andrew Bernstein
People often say that stress is a motivator. What we're referring to when we say this is really better described as stimulation and engagement.
Andrew Bernstein
Statism – the subordination of the individual to the state - leads inevitably to the most hideous oppression.
Andrew Bernstein
A hero has faced it all: he need not be undefeated, but he must be undaunted.
Andrew Bernstein
You might think that shifting your thoughts is as easy as setting your mind to it. But stressful thoughts aren't held in place through choice or will power. They're held in place through perceived truth value.
Andrew Bernstein
Some people are so used to experiencing stress that they don't remember what life was like without it.
Andrew Bernstein
The reason humans experience so much more stress than other species isn't just because we think more, but also because we think differently.
Andrew Bernstein
The truth is that stress doesn't come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.
Andrew Bernstein
The less you think counterfactually, the less you experience stress. Stress, in this light, isn't a bad thing. It's simply a warning system telling you that your mind has lost touch with what's real.
Andrew Bernstein
Many argue that Christianity is different from other religions - that it is primarily about love of one's fellow man. The Crusades, The Inquisition, Calvin's Geneva all prove that this is not the case. These events were pre-eminently about obedience to authority.
Andrew Bernstein
To believe that your husband, wife, parents, kids, boss, job, bank account, or body is even partly responsible for your emotions, to think that there are bullets 'out there' that you have to contend with, that there are stressful life events to overcome, is to miss something vital.
Andrew Bernstein
Stress is the negative whirlwind of emotions that gets imposed on top of our stimulation and engagement.
Andrew Bernstein
Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.
Andrew Bernstein
We all enjoy pushing ourselves to accomplish our objectives. But we don't need stress to get there.
Andrew Bernstein
A hero holds purposes appropriate to man and is, therefore, a thinker.
Andrew Bernstein
Look closer at the stress in your own life and you can identify that negative emotions are always built on counterfactual statements.
Andrew Bernstein
The hero is valorous because he stands up to every threat directed against his values. Heroism requires value conflict.
Andrew Bernstein
When a friend is sick, I see the situation for what it is, not what it isn't, and I offer to help as much as she wants, not as much as I want.
Andrew Bernstein
