Podcasts about greatest human strength

En el centro de cada logro humano, de cada historia de éxito personal o profesional, hay una fuerza que, aunque invisible, define quiénes somos y hasta dónde podemos llegar: la fuerza de voluntad. Esa capacidad de resistir la tentación, de elegir el camino difícil pero correcto, de perseverar cuando todo parece en contra. … y sin embargo, vivimos en una época en la que esta habilidad parece más frágil que nunca. Distracciones constantes, impulsos incontrolados y hábitos poco saludables minan nuestra capacidad de mantenernos firmes y alcanzar nuestras metas. En este episodio analizo el libro Fuerza de Voluntad (Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, 2011), de Roy Baumeister y John Tierney, que explora la ciencia detrás de la fuerza de voluntad, desmitifica cómo funciona y nos ofrece herramientas prácticas para cultivarla y utilizarla como motor de nuestras vidas. Aquí puedes conseguir este libro: AQUÍ TIENES EL LIBRO "Willpower": https://geni.us/willpowerlibro   En esta página encuentras las notas del episodio y todos los enlaces mencionados: https://librosparaemprendedores.net/325 Ah! ¿Quieres recibir cada semana por email, gratis, estrategias y tácticas para ser mejor empleado, emprendedor y empresario?

We all know that self-control is important, but few of us know how to actually develop it. Joe De Sena, founder & CEO of Spartan, asks Professor Roy Baumeister, an expert in the field of self-control, how to build this essential muscle. Self-control or willpower - is about habit-forming and setting yourself up for success. Professor Baumeister's advice is simple but effective: start small, set goals, and be consistent. By following his advice, you can develop the self-control you need to achieve your goals. Professor Roy Baumeister is a world-renowned psychologist who has spent his career researching self-control. In his work, he has found that self-control functions like a muscle - the more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes. This research has profound implications for our understanding of human behavior, and can help us all to live better, more productive lives. Here are the steps you need to follow to also get self-control and discipline.: Do something hard every day to exercise your self-control muscle Keep track of your progress and reward yourself for meeting goals Make your goals public to add social pressure and accountability "Self-control works like a muscle. So if you exercise it, it gradually gets stronger, and it's sort of one basic muscle that you use for everything."   LINKS: “Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength” https://amzn.to/3EWHfrO Prof. Baumeister's work https://roybaumeister.com/   Joe De Sena & Spartan “10 Rules for Resilience” by Joe De Sena https://amzn.to/3TlpeaR Spartan Up podcast https://podfollow.com/spartan Spartan Up podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/SpartanUpPodcast Joe De Sena on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/realjoedesena/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spartanuppodcast/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SpartanUpPodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/SpartanUpPod Website: https://www.spartan.com/   SPONSORS: Spartan Up podcast is brought to you by Wild Health www.wildhealth.com Wondering which diet is right for you?

Mistakes are a part of life, but when they happen in business, they can be costly. That's why Management Muse brought you this episode, to help you identify a common management mistake—question substitution error—and to improve your own decision-making skills. Today, Cindi and Geoff discuss substitution error, which happens when our brains unconsciously replace the tougher questions in our day-to-day lives with simpler ones, because our brains are constantly trying to help us find shortcuts. The substitution error occurs at work and at home, and almost happened to Cindi and Geoff as a very costly mistake on vacation. This episode also covers the destructive impact of exhaustion, hunger, and decision fatigue on our decision making. Cindi and Geoff also talk about how hiring can end up as a question substitution error (Do I like this person?(easy) instead of Is this person likely to be successful in this job?(harder), and how to reduce the negative effect of question substitution at work and at home. Episode Highlights: Question substitution occurs when our brains default to simpler questions, like How do I feel right now?(simple), instead of How do I feel about the issue I'm facing? (harder). When hiring new employees, it's easy to ask ourselves how we feel about a person. The harder question is whether the interviewee will be successful in the position. When our brain senses that something is hard, it tries to reduce the cognitive load by simplifying, or by looking for a quicker and easier rule of thumb to generate an answer. That's often helpful, but not always. When we are tired or in decision fatigue, we'll often agree to anything, just to get out of the decision-making situation, or we'll select the safest, most conservative decision. Both of these shortcuts replace a harder question (What should we actually decide?) with an easier question (How do I get out of this mentally taxing situation quickly?). Time Stamps: [5:06] Deep dive into question substitution and how the brain routinely substitutes the hard questions into simpler ones to reduce our cognitive load [16:09] How the unpredictability of job interviews encourages question substitution [26:15] How tiredness, hunger, and repeated decisions cause decision fatigue [35:04] How to cope with the hard questions to reduce management errors [44:26] How to move toward better decisions Episode Resources: Thinking Fast and Slow (2011) by Daniel Kahneman, Penguin: New York.

Do you ever feel exhausted after making decision after decision? Or maybe you're mentally exhausted at the end of the day? At the end of a long week? We have SO many choices day in and day out: what to do, what to eat, what to wear, how to parent, what you should listen to, what book to read. Often, at the end of the day, we experience something called decision fatigue. In this week's episode we are discussing decision fatigue and ego depletion, the role of sugar on our decisions, how we aren't broken when we get tired from making decisions AND what to do when you're cognitively fatigued. As discussed, I highly recommend John Tiernay and Roy Baumeister's book called Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this episode!

Willpower:Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength by Roy Baumeister Willpower shares lesson on how to focus our Strength, resist temptation and redirect our lives.

John Tierney has written a number of books and he is also a journalist who writes for The New York Times and The City Journal. The first time he came on the podcast it was to discuss willpower because he, along with psychologist Roy Baumeister, wrote a book called ‘Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength'.  He again collaborated with Dr. Baumeister. This time they have written a book called, “The Power of Bad: How the Negativity Effect Rules Us and How We Can Rule It.”  He and I investigate how to meet adversity and how to overcome it.

Roy F. Baumeister is one of the world's most prolific and influential psychologists. He has published well over 500 scientific articles and more than 30 books. In 2013, he received the highest award given by the Association for Psychological Science, the William James Fellow Award, in recognition of his lifetime achievements.  He is currently the Eppes Eminent Scholar and a professor of psychology at Florida State University, and he holds distinguished visiting professorships at King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia and VU University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. His 2011 book Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength (with John Tierney) was a New York Times bestseller, and he has appeared on several television shows. Today, Roy joins me to talk about willpower. We explore willpower, what it is, and why it matters. We discuss how we can strengthen our self-control, and we note the impact of stress on decision-making. We discuss how when we use self-control to establish good habits and routines, our lives can run smoothly on autopilot, which manages the depletion of energy. We note the importance of sleep for the body, mind, and self-control. We also talk about how to live in the present while respecting the future.   “The people who go through life just trying to improve a little bit, they often do the best.”– Roy F. Baumeister This week on In the Doctor's Chair What is willpower The importance of self-control How to strengthen your self-control The benefits of routine The importance of sleep In the Doctor's Chair  Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

In Part 2 of this episode, Roy and I discuss overcoming the power of Bad, negativity bias, and negative impact on wellbeing. We talk about why, while we live better today than ever before in history, we're full of more anxiety and worry than ever. To respond to the power of Bad, Roy suggests that we look for the positive things in life. He shares the power of living a low-Bad diet, not trying to be perfect, and focusing instead on being good enough. We also discuss the importance of focusing on the big picture.   “Don't try to be perfect. Perfection is associated with all sorts of mental illnesses and anxieties and problems.

According to Dr. Roy Baumeister, author of WILLPOWER: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, in their early eagerness to chart the brain as the human equivalent of computers chips and circuits, most psychologists had neglected one mundane but essential part of the machine: the power cord. In a computer, chips and circuit boards are useless without a source of energy. And so is the brain. Research has shown that a drop in that energy source correlates to low self control in both children and adults. SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW to make sure you never miss an episode!

Since the beginning of his career, social psychologist Roy Baumeister has conducted many experimental observations. He found that many couples eventually break up because they continually fought over trivial issues. Many husbands and wives have also experienced this problem. It seemed that merely being together would cause them to fight. Some people even reported trying to find a place to have a drink after work or socialize with friends, in order to arrive home late and avoid any further conflicts. In spite of this, Baumeister advised them to go home early after work. Some people were confused: why give couples more time to fight with each other? Baumeister didn’t see it this way. His research showed that many people were exhausting their willpower at work, and they had none left to deal with their partners’ demands and annoying habits when they got home. So when their partner said something they didn’t like or asked for something, the other person often responded in a mean, sarcastic manner, thus turning the situation into a bitter quarrel. Baumeister suggested that people go home early, that is, when they still have enough energy or willpower. Only with a certain amount of willpower can you deal with family affairs. Our willpower, like an account balance, is a fixed value, which requires us to spend our wealth of willpower as wisely as we manage our finances. The book Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength is a practical willpower training manual. This book will tell you how to maintain your willpower and help you become a focused, self-disciplined, and efficient person. Since its publication, the book Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength has been highly praised by many scholars and best-selling authors. Daniel Todd Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, commented that, “Willpower is sinfully delicious. Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop. A fascinating account of the exciting new science of self-control.” David Allen, author of Getting Things Done, praised the book by saying, “Tierney and Baumeister have produced a highly intelligent work full of fascinating information (and great advice) about a core element of modern living. Bravo!”

On this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by fellow Canadian and author of the book Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition and Accelerate Your Career, Scott H. Young. Scott is a writer, programmer, traveler and avid reader of interesting things. His blog is one of my personal "must reads" and over its lifespan it has asked the compelling question: what’s the best way to learn? This episode is brought to you by the University of California Irvine Division of Continuing Education. Established in 1962, UCI offers education for adult learners in Orange County. But thanks to technology, their courses and certification programs in various fields are now available worldwide and online for just about anyone who's interested. You can get 15% off of one (1) course by visiting http://ce.uci.edu/productivityist (http://ce.uci.edu/productivityist) then enter the promo code: timecrafting. Make sure you take advantage of this limited time offer soon as it is only valid until December 31, 2019 at 11:59 pm.On this episode of the podcast I wanted to talk to with Scott about the answers to that question his blog (and writing) has been pondering since its beginnings. I also wanted to explore the idea of "ultralearning," why striving to be an "ultralearner" is a worthwhile pursuit, and plenty of other productivity-related questions that I've wanted to ask him ever since I started following his work years ago. Specifics that we covered on the show include: What is ultralearning? (2:48) The differences between "just in time learning" and ultralearning and how they can work together (5:19) What the first thing Scott "ultralearned" was and how it went for him (7:03) What you can do to get past the misconception that you don't have time to spend on ultralearning (8:25) These are the principles of ultralearning that people tend to "mess up" the most (10:21) Why Scott had to explain the principles of ultra learning and offer tactics that may work in conjunction with those principles (13:46) The best principle that offers a springboard to ultralearning (18:50) The role that focus plays in ultralearning (21:22) Is there a point when you tend to find it's time to abandon ultralearning a particular subject or area? (24:19) How spending time ultralearning can lead towards a pivot (28:09) Why does this book matter now? (30:34) Quote "The ultralearner is the person who is going to do that hard thing even if it's a little bit more uncomfortable and get that result rather than someone who is going to do that easy thing that isn't going to make much progress." - Scott H.

I’ve recently taken the new course created by Performance Psychologist Simon Marshall, PhD called Nudge Tactics for Health Coaching. He’s leveraging new behavioural science on how people make decisions about their health. Turns out scaring people or educating them is not enough to overcome the difficulty inherent in adopting healthier habits. On this podcast Simon discusses the latest strategies that actually work when it comes to persuading, nudging, and motivating people (or yourself) to overcome self-sabotage and create better habits. He introduces the SEEDS method - a system of adopting up to 15 teeny tiny behaviours, and then self-monitoring and reviewing progress. He also describes a powerful way to cope with catastrophic thinking when things inevitably go wrong, so you can stay on track.   Here’s the outline of this interview with Simon Marshall: [00:00:09] Simon’s new course: Nudge Tactics for Health Coaching. A Health & Wellness Coach’s guide to the science of behavioral economics. [00:00:36] The science of decision making. [00:02:10] Behavioral economics.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.

We bring in a special guest for today's show, Jordan Harbinger, author, speaker, podcast host and just all-around elite level smart dude. Jordan shares what he has learned from over 900 interviews with some of the world's most interesting people, and why his new podcast, The Jordan Harbinger Show, is different from any other show out there. He talks with the guys about developing good habits, setting up your environment to win, why you don't want to depend on willpower, how he accidentally stumbled upon intermittent fasting, and how to handle people around you that try to sabotage your good habits.   Key Takeaways: [0:45] We welcome special guest Jordan Harbinger, critically acclaimed host and formerly of The Art of Charm podcast. Jordan now has his own show — The Jordan Harbinger Show. [4:57] The new show takes the superpowers of amazing guests and delivers them to the listening audience. Jordan studies the thoughts, habits, and mindsets of brilliant people who can translate the skills to the listening audience so they could apply it in their everyday life. Every episode has worksheets to take practical information that listeners can use right away. [20:12] It's too tough to depend on strong willpower all the time — one habit hack is to make your environment reflect your goals. For example, if you want to try and eat healthy most of the time, leaving chocolate cake or leftover pizza around will test your willpower and you will probably stay off your goals. Keep your environment stocked with clean foods that are easy to reach. [28:44] Surround yourself with people that support your habits and follow through with important habits of their own. [38:53] Depending on willpower to come through all the time when you are tired and hungry is not a good strategy for anything you want to accomplish. [48:22] Connor has the dirtiest car you probably have ever seen. [49:12] Jordan clears up the difference between discipline and a lack of willpower and having certain priorities.   Mentioned in This Episode: Connor Murphy's Talk YouTube page: @ConnorMurphyTalks Brandon's YouTube page: @HighLifeWorkOut Jordan Harbinger The Jordan Harbinger Show Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, by Roy F. Baumeister and John Tierney   Quotes: “The show is about what the guest can teach the listener.” “Your environment has to align with the decisions you want to make.” “The people that you are around will always bring you up or down. It's important to curate the right people.” “You can't rely on willpower. It's not strong enough for when you are tired, hungry and there is a donut in front of you.” “You can't turn on greatness — it has to become a habit.” “Whenever you are highly disciplined about something and you're around people that are not, they will use social control to try and get you to come down to where they are.”

Each day, the average adult makes 35,000 different decisions. A few decisions can be life-changing. Most are insignificant. Many decisions don't change your life in a moment, but over time can lead you far off the path you desire for your life. For example: Your alarm beeps at 5:30 am. Your bed is warm and the pillow is soft. It’s dark and quiet. One more hour of sleep would feel so good. Plus, sleep is good for you, right? You could get your workout in tomorrow instead. Do you go back to sleep, or get up and go to the gym? You’ve showered and gotten ready for the day. It’s time for breakfast, before you head off to work. You know you’ll feel better later if you cook up some eggs and bacon, or make a low-carb protein shake. But, you can have a bowl of cereal ready in about 30 seconds instead of cooking for ten minutes. And the cereal is already out for the kids, anyway. It’s convenient and tastes pretty good too. What do you do? You get to work, and one of your co-workers brought coffee and donuts for another co-worker’s birthday. It wasn’t part of the plan, but it’s free food, and it’s a “special occasion.” Do you eat the donuts, or just drink the coffee? Situations like these situations play out everyday. Unless you have a full supply of willpower, you'll often choose the pleasures of the moment, and feel guilty later because you shortchanged your future. I’d like to propose a different perspective on this age-old situation of "I know what to do. I just don't do it." First, I need to set the stage with an understanding of willpower and decision fatigue. Willpower and Decision Fatigue Short-term comfort and pleasure is pretty tempting. In each of the examples above, you need a certain amount of willpower to ignore temptation. Willpower: control exerted to do something or restrain impulses Willpower is the mental energy needed to do what needs to be done, or to avoid what shouldn’t be done. Because willpower requires mental effort and energy, you need a reserve of mental energy to exercise willpower. Decision-making is the biggest drain on that mental energy. Roy Baumeister and John Tierney, in their book Willpower – Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, describe decision fatigue as “the deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual after a long session of decision making.” In essence, the more decisions you make, the less willpower you'll have. The more willpower you use, the more likely it is that you’ll make poor decisions. Can you see why it's a bad idea to schedule an important meeting at the end of the workday, or why you should never make important marital or family decisions late at night. As the day goes on, and you’re faced with family, work, financial, and fitness decisions, you make lower and lower-quality decisions. An exhausting day at work, followed by a half hour trying to pick out the perfect outfit for dinner, will make it really hard to choose wisely from the restaurant menu. Or, if you don't go out, just answering the question “What’s for dinner?” can be an overwhelming decision to answer. So you probably end up ordering pizza instead. How to Conserve Your Willpower Each day, you begin with a certain level of willpower. If you wake up tired from the day before, you won't have a fully recharged willpower battery. That doesn't mean you get a "hall pass" from good decision making. You are still responsible for every decision you make. You just need to conserve your willpower for decisions that are most important. It’s like when your cell phone battery gets low and you don't have a charger handy. You use your phone for just the essentials. You might also turn off notifications, stop apps that run in the background, and turn down the screen brightness. You save your battery for only what's most important. You can do the same thing with your willpower battery. To conserve willpower, you can:

We are all subject to a psychological process called decision fatigue: every choice you make depletes your willpower and lowers your ability to self-regulate. This is true for trivial decisions as well as life changing ones. By designing trivial decisions out of your life, you can retain decision making capability for the things that really matter to you. In this episode I share some of my own experiences with avoiding decision fatigue and explain why I think minimalism is a great way to help you focus on the things that really matter.

This episode covers everything I've learned about upgrading my habits to improve my life. Here's a brief summary of the points covered: Habits are the most important demonstration of your character: you are what you do repetitively. By consciously upgrading your habits, you have an opportunity to implement your vision of who you want to be, in your day-to-day life. Habits are powerful because steady persistence always beats the mad dash. Habits dramatically reduce the amount of willpower and brainpower required to get things done. Once you have implemented a habit and can do it on autopilot, you conserve willpower and brainpower, helping you get more done. Habits are easiest to adopt when they are simple to understand, when you minimise any friction at the start of the action, when there are clear environmental triggers that tell your unconscious to start the habit, and when you have feedback (rewards) for completion. I recommend the use of a habit tracking app like lift.do. In the podcast, I provide some examples of  habits that I am currently working on and describe how I use this app to help me implement them. The episode covers the best books to read more about habits (listed in the show notes below) and I talk about many of the tips that I've gathered from these resources.

Veteran social psychology researcher and professor at Florida State University, Roy F. Baumeister, with journalist John Tierney, joined forces to write Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength [ http://amzn.to/1eTrs7h ]. This is supposed to be a definitive guide on self-control, which many consider the heart of personal productivity. If you can control your self, then performance improvement potential is a sky's the limit proposition, right? Well, here are the most salient points that I lifted from Dr. Baumeister and Mr. Tierney's book, so you can make your own decision on the matter.Willpower (or, self-control) undergoes something Professor Baumeister calls ego depletion, or the loss of self-control. Willpower is divided into four broad categories: control of thoughts, control of emotions, impulse control, and performance control. All willpower depletes from one reservoir for all tasks and is a finite source. And don't be overly confident in your willpower, as studies show it actually contributes to ego depletion. Front-load tasks that require high amounts of willpower. Things that replete and conserve willpower: sleep, foods with low glycemic indices, and making realistic goals.What matters with self-control is the exertion, not the outcome. If you struggle with temptation and then give in, you’re still depleted because you struggled. Also note that giving in does not replenish the willpower you have already expended. The key is to concentrate on changing a habitual behavior. Building self-control in one area seemed to improve all areas of life.Successful people use their willpower as a first line of defense to better arrange (that is, plan for) life's challenging situations so they default into predetermined paths toward success.Correction: In the episode, I mention incorrectly the subtitle as "Unlocking the Greatest Human Strength."
