Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for episode #151 with certified Goleman Emotional Intelligence coach, Renée Adams. Watch the interview on YouTube.https://youtu.be/aavQGiAAXo8 Download 3 FREE EQ Guides from Renee's website FREE EQ Guides https://hoppypoppie.com/guide-sign-up/  See past episodes here https://www.achieveit360.com/episodes/  On this episode you will learn: ✔︎ Why Renee sees the importance of teaching EI to young children and their parents as critical work. ✔︎ What are the Emotional Intelligence Competencies that the Goleman Training focuses on. ✔︎ What's missing from today's corporate environments? ✔︎ EI strategies that parents can use immediately to reduce stress while at the same time supporting your child at home or in the classroom.   Renée Adams[i] is a children's book author, writing books that teach children and parents foundational Emotional Intelligence skills, including being able to identify and name their emotions. We have seen the importance of this skill that started with our interview #28[ii] with Dr. Daniel Siegel who talks about the importance of naming an emotion to tame it[iii] and then again with the Founding Director of Yale's Center for Emotional Intelligence, Marc Brackett on episode #22[iv] with his book, Permission to Feel. I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies in our schools, sports, and the workplace with ideas that we can all use, understand and implement immediately.   When I was introduced to Renée Adams, I saw her background as a Certified Goleman Emotional Intelligence[v] coach, I immediately contacted her to see if I could pick her brain on many questions that I am asked myself in the area of Emotional Intelligence. Why not ask an expert when I have the chance.   Let's meet Renée Adams.   Welcome Renée, thank you for coming on the podcast today to speak with me.   Are you still located in Bolder, CO? I almost considered moving to CO from Toronto in the late 1990s, since it was the Columbine tragedy that caused me to move to the US back then. I picked AZ because I really struggled with the altitude in CO.   Q1:  I did watch some of your other podcasts to learn more about why you started this work centered around Emotional Intelligence, and I will link these episodes in the show notes, but did wonder at what point in your career did you see the importance of teaching Emotional Intelligence to children and parents? Where was the missing link?   Q2: I cover 6 social and emotional competencies on this podcast (Mindset, Decision-Making, Self-Awareness, Social Awareness, Self-Regulated Learning/Self-Management, and Relationship Skills) as they closely mirror www.casel.org's SEL competencies. Can you explain the competencies that were important in your Goleman Certification Program, and maybe how you would teach them to a parent or child? (Self-awareness, self-management, others awareness, relationship management).     Q3: When I first launched this podcast, I interviewed my husband on episode #1 on “The Importance of Setting Up an SEL Program in Your School, or Emotional Intelligence Training Program in Your Workplace.”[vi] And it's funny thinking about it now because he had just got home from traveling and I handed him a list of questions and said “Can you answer these and speak into the mic?” It was a memorable launch to the podcast. Why do you think it's so important to teach these skills at an early age and what skills do you think are missing from today's corporate environments?     Q4: So growing up, we didn't talk about our emotions in my home. If I ever cried at all, my Dad would yell at me because he hated to see emotion. And I'm the type that wears my emotions on my sleeve. I couldn't hide them, not even when I knew I'd get a kick in the behind if I ever showed them. So now, I'm a parent, and learning all these new strategies from the work I'm doing, and trying to do things differently, but it's exhausting sometimes. I forget how school-aged children react emotionally to everything. What are some strategies to really listen to what our kids are thinking and feeling, without letting it suck the life force out of us as parents?   Q6: What is your vision for what EQ programs?   Q7: Is there anything I have missed that's important?   FREE EQ Guides https://hoppypoppie.com/guide-sign-up/   Thank you very much for speaking with me today.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for episode #149 with Dave Farrow[i], a two-time Canadian Guinness World Record Holder for Most Decks of Playing Cards Memorized in a single sighting in 1996 and again in 2007 when he correctly memorized and recalled the exact order of 59 decks of shuffled playing cards—which is 3068 cards in total, exceeding his previous record of 52 decks (2704 cards). Watch the Interview on YouTube here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrxuvnCpI0c Learn more about Dave Farrow and his Memory Program https://farrowmemory.com/a/andrea See past episodes here https://www.achieveit360.com/episodes/ On this episode you will learn: ✔︎  How Dave Farrow overcame his diagnosis of ADHD and Dyslexia to develop talents that would set him miles apart from the rest in his future. ✔︎ The learning strategies that Dave Farrow used to overcome his areas of weakness and work 8x faster than the average person. ✔︎  The secret behind how he memorized 59 decks of shuffled playing cards that got him into the Guinness World Book of Records for memory. ✔︎ His strategy for memorizing 109 balloon colors (in 60 seconds) winning him the episode on FOX TV's SUPERHUMAN SHOW. ✔︎ How Dave Farrow now wants to give back and help others develop SUPERHUMAN MEMORY Powers, Increase Focus and Reduce Brain Fatigue, so they can rise to the top of their career and life. I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies in our schools, sports, and the workplace with ideas that we can all use, understand and implement immediately. I can't tell you how excited I am to speak with fellow Canadian, Dave Farrow[ii] who wasn't born with the gift of memory, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia as a child. To help him to do better at school, Dave created a memory system called “The Farrow Method” which is now a certifiable scientifically proven system for memory backed by a double-blind neuroscience study at McGill University In 2008 Dave was hired by Sony Corporation to live in a window on 5th Avenue in Manhattan and speed read on a Sony E-Reader for literacy in America. In 30 days, he read over 100 books and through his efforts, Sony gave 4.4 million E-Books to schools in America. Over 100 million people watched him in the window read for charity. As a memory expert, David has trained over 10,000 business professionals, students, managers and seminar attendees in memory programs offered in both Canada and the United States, with that number growing each day. Today Dave uses his media savvy and keen understanding of the brain in the public relations sector. He is the founder and CEO of FarrowPR a full-service public relations and marketing firm in Buffalo NY. With his ability to speed read and memorize large amounts of information, Dave is an expert in Nanotechnology and microfluidics and is currently developing a prototype for a robotic moving mannequin with “Start Up New York.” Dave has been a featured guest expert on over 2000 interviews in the media including, The Today Show, Live with Regis and Kelly, Steve Harvey, Discovery Channel and many others. I was introduced to Dave Farrow after episode #145 with Howard Berg[iii] who holds the Guinness World record for speed reading, and immediately started to make connections with his work, and past interviews and episodes. I'm always looking at ways to improve memory, especially after my brain scan at Amen Clinics[iv] showed that I was weak in the area of recall memory or recalling a list of random words and Dr. Creado who did my brain scan evaluation reminded me that “we can change our brain and memory with practice, but we must first of all believe it's possible.” After seeing how easy it was to remember a list of 10 items with my interview with Howard Berg, I'm dying to learn more from Dave Farrow, and share these strategies with you. Welcome Dave, thank you very much for meeting with me today. I see that you are originally from Kitchener, Ontario? Growing up in Toronto, I spent a lot of time in Kitchener in high school when a high school friend moved off the Homer Watson Blvd exit (I still remember that!). Where have I reached you today? Q1: From reading your story, I can see how you got behind with your academics with the health challenges you experienced. Your story reminded me a lot of someone I interviewed years ago, named Nik Halik[v] from EPISODE #31 who overcame severe illness as a child, by studying Encyclopedias and went on to live a phenomenal life. What do you remember about your early years that motivated you to learn, study and begin developing the talents that would set you miles apart from others in your future? Q2: Dave, a lot about your story is fascinating, but for those who work with students with dyslexia, or reading challenges, they might find it difficult to imagine results like yours. I interviewed Lois Letchford on episode #136 where her son, who was diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, went on to get his Ph.D. and graduate from Oxford University, with a bright future. His Mom spoke about the switch she felt with his learning when he began to find an interest in learning through maps. Also, Barbara Arrowsmith-Young from episode #132[vi] who changed her brain and left her learning disability behind. Was there something that you remember that changed for you that took you from struggling with your academics, to mastery? Q3: Can we talk about what got you into the Guinness World Book of Records for memory? "There is nothing more empowering or motivational than discovering the ability for SuperHuman Memory has been inside you all along." - Dave Farrow I watched you on the FOX TV SUPERHUMAN SHOW[vii] where you were being tested by memorizing 109 balloon colors, (in 60 seconds) (and then I thought “What strategy does he use to do this as you close your eyes?” How on the earth could you memorize 59 decks of shuffled cards when I struggle to remember 10 things on a random list? Is there a secret? Q4: Looking through your work this weekend, I couldn't miss seeing Harry Lorayne[viii] somewhere, and I don't remember where it was, maybe it was a reference on your website. When I worked with Bob Proctor in the seminar industry, he was always talking about Harry Lorayne being the person he knew with a great memory (maybe because he hadn't met you yet)? Was Harry one of your early influencers? Who else inspired the work you are doing? Q5: I can also see some of the leaders of motivation and sales on your website who I've come across over the years. I saw Greg Reid, the creator of Secret Knock, who's written so many books on the power of positive thinking and developing your mind, and also the late Frank Shankwitz, the Founder of Make-A-Wish Foundation, who we interviewed on episode #40 and sadly we lost earlier this year.[ix] How are you now using your talents to help others to be more successful? Q6: What is the Farrow Method™[x] that was proven at McGill University's neuroscience study and how does it guarantee to improve someone's memory? How can The Farrow Method  help sales teams, high powered executives, or anyone else looking to improve their productivity and results? Q7: Is there something important, that you think I have missed? Thank you for your time today, Dave, and for all you are doing to help lift up those who may think they don't have a chance for mind-blowing results that you have attained.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for episode #146 with Dr. Howard Rankin, the host of the “How Not to Think Podcast” that runs on the premise that "People aren't logical, they're psychological with the emphasis on the psycho," which made me laugh at the same time as it made me think “How are we NOT supposed to think?” and the research on this topic began. Watch the interview on YouTube here.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DlnOXE39aQ Learn more about Dr. Howard Rankin here https://hownottothink.com/ See past episodes here https://www.achieveit360.com/episodes/ On this episode, you will learn: ✔︎ What is the problem with our thinking, and why is it illogical? ✔︎ How awareness is important when making any decision. ✔︎ The importance of looking at things from a different perspective. ✔︎ Why "the more we know, the more we realize we know nothing at all." ✔︎ Why new knowledge opens up our world to new possibilities. ✔︎ How to motivate anyone to learn something new. ✔︎ Why reality is an illusion. ✔︎ Common problems that occur with our human thinking process and how to be aware of them. ✔︎ How self-limiting beliefs influence our results. I'm Andrea Samadi, author and educator from Toronto, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies in our schools, sports, and the workplace with ideas that we can all use, understand and implement immediately, for improved results. This week's guest, Dr. Rankin, an expert in cognitive neuroscience, recently published his book I Think Therefore I Am Wrong[i] which looks at the many ways we can sabotage our thinking through cognitive biases, binary thinking, false assumptions and numerous other strategies. The How Not To think Podcast[ii] based on his book, examines how this false reasoning manifests itself in many areas of society through myths, and 'conventional wisdom.' On his podcast that I will be a guest on, Howard speaks with leaders in their fields to examine the impact of faulty thinking that occurs in every sphere of life. Dr.  Rankin has extensive expertise and knowledge in the areas of psychology, cognitive neuroscience and neurotechnology. He is also an experienced speaker and best-selling and award-winning author. Dr. Rankin has written 12 books in his own name, co-written another 9, and ghostwritten 30 others, all non-fiction. He has also published more than 30 scientific articles and been a consultant to the NIH and WHO (World Health Organization). His work has been featured in many newspapers and magazines and he has appeared on national networks including CNN, ABC, CBS, BBC, and on “The View” and “20/20”. He hosts the podcast How Not To Think and is the author of I Think Therefore I Am Wrong: A Guide to Bias, Political Correctness, Fake News and The Future of Mankind. Let's meet Dr. Rankin and see what we can learn about improving how we think. Welcome Dr. Rankin, thank you for being here today to share your knowledge and insights on your recent book, I Think, Therefore I am Wrong that you say is about Epistemology, what our past speaker, Tom Beakbane, on episode #144 said was the origin of his book How to Understand Everything[iii]. Can we start right away with the most obvious question? Q1: What is the problem with our thinking, how is it illogical, and why are people psychological, with an emphasis on the psycho? Q2: What inspired you to write your book, and launch your podcast on this topic? Q3: I love making connections with past speakers and what I see with your work, I connected with Tom Beakbane's book on How to Understand Everything where he talks a lot about looking at things from a different angle. With all the books you've written, you've got the knack for uncovering ways to tell something from a different angle, in a way that someone might not have heard it in that way. Why is it important to be able to see things from a different perspective? What does this do to our thinking? Q4: I was talking with my good friend Greg Link from Stephen Covey's organization the other day, after one of my last podcasts, and after some discussion I came to the realization that the more I am learning through these interviews, the more I realize I don't know anything at all! Greg told me that quote originated from the American author Warner Ehrhard who was quoting the Greek Stoic Philosopher Epictetus What do you think about this? The more we are learning, why does it take us into a rabbit hole where we realize we have no idea about anything at all? Q5: Chapter 1 of your book is titled “Is Reality an Illusion” and Einstein said this. What does that mean? Q6: What is logic and why do you think it's involved with some of the problems you see with our thinking? Q7: What about our beliefs or more specifically, our self-limiting beliefs? What are they and how do they influence our results? Q8: How does neuroscience or an understanding of how our brain works tie into our thinking and behavior? Q9: What should we all know and understand about “How Not to Think” for educators, or those in the corporate workspace? Thank you very much Dr. Rankin for your time today to share your thoughts, ideas, books and podcast as tools and resources for those who would like to learn more about How Not to Think.

#ppcchat Twitter discussion that runs on Tuesdays at 5pm GMT - Led by Julie F Bacchini (@NeptuneMoon) Q1 Let's start with contracts. Do you use formal contracts? If so, how detailed are they? Were they reviewed or created by an attorney? Q2 Is there anything special that you make sure to outline specifically in your contracts? And if so, why? Q3 Are your contracts typically for a specific period of time (i.e. 6 months or a year) or are they more open ended? What are your termination terms? What are your renewal terms if there is a set starting period? Q4 Is there something that you wish you had in your contracts, but do not currently? If not, why not? Q5 Do you have any questions about contracts that we all might be able to help with?

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注在上个月底，国家发布了三孩政策，以至于有不少人在网上调侃，说如果有了三个孩子，算上自己和双方父母，那就一共有9个人，以后买车就别买7座车了，直接入手9座版考斯特吧，不过玩笑归玩笑，对于很多人而言，一台7座SUV或者MPV正逐渐成为刚需用车。就在最近，大众新推出了两台中大型SUV，一台是年度新款上市的上汽大众途昂，另一个是途昂的姊妹车型，也是一汽大众的首款中大型SUV——揽境。其中，途昂价格区间29.20-37.20万，中期改款后的价格相比老款都有所下调。但是动力跟之前保持一样，采用2.0T高低功率两款发动机，一共五款配置：330TSI两驱豪华版：29.20万330TSI两驱尊崇豪华版：32.20万380TSI四驱豪华版：31.20万380TSI四驱尊崇豪华版：34.20万380TSI四驱尊崇旗舰版：37.20万而全新亮相的一汽大众揽境，目前只是公布了预售价，价格区间29.99-39.99万，采用2.0T和2.5T两种动力共六款车型，很明显2.0T是日后的主销车型，2.5T更多是一个旗舰的象征，我估计后期正式上市的价格，应该会比现在再低一些。330TSI两驱精英型：29.99万330TSI两驱豪华型：32.20万380TSI四驱豪华型：33.90万380TSI四驱豪华R-LINE：34.50万380TSI四驱旗舰型：36.20万530TSI四驱旗舰型：39.99万那么，今天我们就来好好聊一聊这两台车到底怎么样，有哪些竞争对手，在大众爆发颗粒捕捉器堵塞事件之后，现在去买这两台车真的还合适吗？大众揽境是一台什么样的车？一汽大众并没有像上汽大众那样，早早地在零几年就推出了SUV产品，而是直到2018年才推出自己的首款SUV产品T-ROC探歌，随后一汽大众相继推出了探岳、探影等“探”字辈的车型，迅速丰富自己的产品线，直到今年4月份的上海车展，他们才推出了旗舰车型揽境，从车型的命名就可以看出，揽境和其他“探”字辈的SUV并不相同。我们都知道，揽境是一汽大众的首款中大型SUV，但是这个车身尺寸，确实有些“超纲”，整台车的长宽高达到了5152*2002*1795mm，轴距2980mm。这个数据可以说非常夸张，尤其是5米15的车身长度，途昂的车长“才”5052mm。再对比下大众自家的奥迪Q7（车长5067mm）和宾利添越（车长5125mm），你会发现自己只花三十多万，就买到了一台比宾利添越还要大的车，是不是听起来很划算。揽境除了很长以外，它的车身也很宽，超过了两米，以至于这台车的第三排座椅确实能被看作真正的座椅，甚至它的第三排比一些紧凑级SUV的第二排还大，在第三排不放倒的情况下，整车的后备箱也有357升的空间，只放倒第三排，空间就能来到夸张的942升，如果再放倒第二排，你可以放一张两米的双人床，所以空间是揽境最大的优势。说完了揽境的空间优势，我们再来说说它的外观内饰。揽境的外观设计很柔和，和威然有几分神似，尤其是从A柱开始到车尾部分，越看越像一台MPV，同时，揽境也用上了全新的内饰设计，中控12英寸大屏+10.25英寸液晶屏+电子档把+悬浮式的操作台，确实能给用户一定的科技感，可是但凡看过MQB-Evo平台下其他产品的用户就会发现，揽境的内饰和同平台的其他产品差别几乎很小，比如高尔夫8搭载的就是一模一样的10.25英寸液晶仪表+大尺寸的中控屏+电子档把，只不过揽境的中控屏比高尔夫8大了2英寸，而且揽境的车机系统和高尔夫8一样存在逻辑复杂、运行卡顿不稳定的情况。根据目前公布的信息来看，揽境总共配备了三种动力动力配置，分别是低功率2.0TEA888、高功率2.0T EA888和2.5T VR6 EA390机头，同时2.0T高功率和2.5T配备博格华纳瀚德六代四驱系统，可以满足一定走烂路的能力，说到底就是大众的老配方用在新车上面。这里有一点值得注意的地方，那就是揽境所有的2.0T发动机都要加98号汽油，一个普通的家用车竟然要加98号汽油，这跟大众的颗粒捕捉器颗粒捕捉器堵塞有着脱不开的关系，具体的我们后面会说到。此外，本次预售的六款车型都是标配六座，可选装七座，跟途昂标配七座选装六座正好不同，也避免了两车的直接竞争。虽然七座能多坐一个人，但是六座第二排中间有一个过道，第三排进出很方便，还能一定程度上给第三排乘客缓解压迫感，所以在乘坐舒适性上七座肯定不如六座，不过揽境的第三排配置很到位，既有出风口也有杯架和充电口，对第三排乘客的照顾还是很到位的。并且除了最低配之外，揽境的其余配置都配备了九个安全气囊，包括后排侧气囊和驾驶员膝部气囊。同时全系还有电动后备箱，全液晶仪表和前后雷达+倒车影像。大众新款途昂怎么样？说完了揽境，再来说说年度改款的途昂，就总体配置而言，新车上市的揽境只是算中规中矩，甚至有点拼不过现在的途昂，因为新途昂有着和揽境一样的科技内饰，相比老款的8英寸大屏有了很大的提升。虽然新途昂没有采用揽境的悬浮式操作台设计，但是副驾驶一侧带氛围灯的星空内饰板。不过这并不是什么高端的东西，在奇瑞上面早就有了，所以没有理由说国产车配这个就无足轻重，大众给你配一个就喜笑颜开。之前老款途昂的销量一直不错，它硕大的尺寸加上棱角分明的外观设计功不可没，可是中期改款后的途昂外观就有点让人摸不着头脑，尤其是车头部分。双层大灯叠在一起，上下部分灯组完全一样，特别像苍蝇的眼睛，不知道是丑还是有科技感，至少不如老款的大气稳重。不过新款的尾部更加新颖，和揽境一样增加了贯穿式大灯和发光车标，在夜晚有着很高的辨识度。在动力方面，途昂和揽境属于一个模子刻出来的，只不过现在的途昂把2.5T版本取消掉了，也不知道后期会不会再给加上。此外就是途昂标配了七个气囊，只有顶配才有后排侧气囊。虽然有了MQB-Evo平台的加持，但是像揽境上中配就有的ACC自适应巡航系统，也只在途昂的顶配上出现，所以途昂和揽境虽然是姊妹车型，但谁是姐姐谁是妹妹，配置上显而易见。揽境和途昂的竞品车型以目前的市场情况来看，揽境是一台6座中大型SUV，而途昂则是一台7座中大型SUV，以至于这两台车虽然会和常见的5座SUV产生一定的竞争关系，但是由于不少消费者在选择5座以上SUV车型的时候，自身的需求非常明确，所以实际上这两台车的主要竞争对手还是那些6/7座SUV。同时，揽境目前预售价29.99-39.99万，途昂则是定价29.2-37.2万，落在这个价格区间当中的6/7座SUV其实并不多，其中日系车型有“保值神器”汉兰达，以及汉兰达的兄弟车型皇冠陆放。美系当中有别克昂科旗、凯迪拉克XT6和福特探险者，德系当中可以说大众一家独大，然后还有一个搅局的韩系车，也就是现代帕里斯帝。我们先来聊一聊几乎所有6/7座SUV都无法绕开的竞争对手，也是我们的“老熟人”丰田汉兰达，以及它的兄弟车皇冠陆放，其实这俩完全就是一个车，只是一汽丰田想用皇冠打造一个系列车型，比如皇冠陆放、皇冠威尔法等等。全新汉兰达的车身尺寸为4965/1930/1750mm，轴距为2850mm，如果单以这台车的尺寸去和揽境/途昂进行对比，你会发现汉兰达还是一如既往的小，毕竟揽境的车身尺寸达到了5152*2002*1795mm，轴距也达到了2980mm，而途昂的尺寸也达到了5052*1989*1773mm，轴距则是和揽境一样，都是2980mm。所以，如果你只是单看车身尺寸的话，其实汉兰达一直以来在7座SUV市场里都不占优势，但是现在新款汉兰达确实也有它的亮点，或者说相比于老款车型，确实有不小的提升，比如现在车辆轴距比老款增加了60mm，车内有了12.3英寸的中控，而且支持CARPLAY和车联网，高配车型则是有12.3英寸的全液晶仪表，还有HUD抬头显示，全新TNGA-K平台打造，除了最低配是7个气囊之外，其他配置都是标配8个气囊，而且还带L2级自动驾驶。我曾经不止一次的说过，汉兰达这台车其实就是一台能满足很多人“刚需”的工具车，尤其是那些想花三十来万买一台兼顾7座SUV、好用、省心、保值率高、知名度高的消费者，汉兰达完全切中了他们的心，加上其一直以来在有意无意的控制产能，导致这台车就变的有些“得不到的永远在骚动”的感觉。实际上这台车的产品力真的很强吗？我觉得未必，只是对于大多数消费者而言，相比于其他车型来说，汉兰达属于一个不会错的选择，而这对于他们来说就足够了。现在，新款的汉兰达也即将正式上市，根据目前得到的信息来看，全新汉兰达会推出精英版、尊贵版、至尊版三款车型，预售价分别为28万起、33万起和36.6万元起，而且只有2.5L混动版本，这车其实现在你去4S店已经可以订车，但是正式上市时间官方也没有确定，只是说预计第三季度正式上市，不过按照汉兰达之前的销售行情来看，想要去买新款汉兰达，那你的预算肯定是要再往上抬一抬了。接着我们来聊聊美系车，首先是定价27.99-37.99万的别克昂科旗。别克昂科旗目前作为别克旗下最高端的SUV车型，车身尺寸4981*1953*1727mm（1732mm/1736mm），轴距2863mm。之所以车身高度有所差别，其实是因为低配车型没有车顶的行李架，实际上内部空间都是一样的。相比于大众揽境而言，别克昂科旗的车身尺寸确实小了一些，毕竟不论是揽境还是途昂，这两台车的车身长度都超过了5米，如果把昂科旗停在揽境或者途昂边上，你会感觉昂科旗看上去根本就不像一台中大型SUV，反而像是一台中型SUV，因为揽境和途昂的尺寸实在是太大了。在动力配置方面，昂科旗依旧使用了通用目前当家的2.0T LSY发动机，以及自家的9AT变速箱，而237马力/350牛米的数据，确实会比揽境和途昂上面的2.0T发动机要好看很多。毕竟无论是揽境还是途昂，他们的2.0T发动机还分了高低功率，其中低功率版本186马力/320牛米，高功率版本220马力/350牛米，配的都是7速湿式双离合变速箱，这也是大众的一贯作风。当然，揽境这一次的顶配车型配上了2.5T V6发动机，而且只卖39.99万，相比于之前途昂2.5T V6版本41.99-45.99万的定价，这次揽境的顶配车型似乎还挺有性价比的，而途昂目前只有2.0T版本。依照目前的市场销售情况来看，昂科旗确实销量有些惨淡。虽然昂科旗的配置着实比较厚道，但一方面这台车的四驱系统只有从32.99万的版本开始才配备，而且还没有5座车型来拉低准入门槛。另一方面则是自家的GL8蚕食了不少7座车的市场，以至于提到别克的7座车，很多人看看价格和自己的需求，发现与其去买一台昂科旗，倒不如去看看GL8。其次是定价39.27-55.27万的凯迪拉克XT6，现在这台车也是新款上市，给发动机配上了48V轻混，相比于凯迪拉克CT6动辄10万的优惠而言，凯迪拉克XT6目前的市场优惠幅度就显得有些寒酸了，基本上只有5-6万。新款凯迪拉克XT6的车身尺寸达到了5056*1964*1777（1780）mm，轴距2863mm，相比于同根同源的别克昂科旗而言，这台车确实在外观上看会比昂科旗大出一些，但是由于底子都是差不多的，所以轴距一模一样，以至于这台车的月销量也和昂科旗差不多，基本上就是在两三千台徘徊，属于难兄难弟。最后，是定价30.98-39.98万的福特探险者。相比于途昂和揽境而言，福特探险者5075*2004*1778mm的车身尺寸，注定了这台车就是一个“壮汉”，而3025mm的轴距使得这台车在内部空间上确实也很能打，假如你实际体验过这台车的内部空间，你会发现这台车着实够宽敞。同时，探险者的驾驶感受其实很不错，整台车的动力总成和Mustang如出一辙，在这个价位的SUV中属于动力强劲的选手，当然，福特在动力上一向不会吝啬，这一点非常值得肯定，在日常驾驶的时候，这颗10R80的10AT变速箱与2.3T Ecoboost发动机之间的配合十分紧密，整体平顺性非常的好，并且车辆的转向也比较轻盈，即使是原地打方向也十分轻松，不会有那种开着很累的感觉。但是，福特探险者也有明显的短板。第一，为了保证第三排乘客更方便的通行，使得第二排两个座位之间的过道做的很宽，这就导致第二排座位的尺寸偏窄，并且第二排座位只有靠内的一侧有扶手，座椅靠背也很直很平，整体的舒适度不是很好，到了第三排之后，你则是更有一种坐小板凳的感觉。第二，探险者的内饰确实不够豪华，而且液晶仪表盘做的有些“汽配城”的感觉，整体的UI界面显得很廉价，而且在用旋钮调节驾驶模式的时候，液晶仪表有时候会出现画面丢帧的情况。第三，就是价格的问题，福特探险者和丰田汉兰达都是7座SUV，国产之后的第六代探险者，曾经很有希望去终结汉兰达的统治……结果售价一出傻眼了，第六代探险者的起售价竟然达到了30.98万元，而且还是个后驱版，想要买四驱版的探险者，最少都要付出32.98万的真金白银。要知道，第六代探险者在美国的起售价才32765美金，第四代汉兰达在美国的起售价则达到了34810美金，也就是说一台在起售价在美国比汉兰达还要低的车，在中国却定价比汉兰达高，得亏现在汉兰达在国内的价格抬了上来，不然那种冤大头的感觉更强烈。最后，还有一个韩系的搅局者，也就是定价29.88-32.98万的现代帕里斯帝，这台车我们之前有专门的内容聊过，感兴趣的朋友可以点击之前的节目看一看。简单来说，如果你能接受帕里斯帝的价格，以及后期的使用、养护等方面的开销，并且你不在意这是个韩系车，那可以从GL四驱版本看起，有条件可以直接买顶配的GLS四驱版；如果你对于这台车的品牌、后期的使用、养护、维修费用哪怕有一点点的顾虑，那咱们还是再看看别家的产品，毕竟如果只是日常城市内驾驶，这种大排量自然吸气的发动机，有时候并不能像你想的那么美好。揽境和途昂到底值不值得买？那么，现在途昂和揽境这两台车到底值不值得去买，我觉得并不值得，理由如下：第一，现在揽境新车上市没啥优惠，在价格上并不具有什么优势，而即便是有市场优惠的途昂，也把之前5万元左右的优惠幅度，缩减到现在的1.5万元左右，尽管途昂的配置得到了提升，但是无论是现在的揽境还是途昂，单看价格优惠的程度，都没有明显的优势。第二，大众目前在售的2.0T车型，或多或少的都遇到了颗粒捕捉器堵塞的问题。所谓颗粒捕捉器，其实就是一种安装在排气系统中的陶瓷过滤器，它可以在微粒排放物质进入大气之前将其捕捉，最早用于柴油驱动的卡车上，现在很多车企开始把这个技术用在了汽油车上，主要就是为了应对严格的国6B排放标准。但是，颗粒捕捉器有个非常致命的弱点，时间一久它就会堵塞，一堵塞就会造成排气不通畅，从而油耗增高、动力下降。尤其是在市区走走停停的路况下，发动机转速不高，排气温度不够，从而使得颗粒捕捉器里面的物质难以再生。因为颗粒捕捉器只有在高温情况下，才能和捕捉的颗粒发生反应，进而再让内部物质再生，这样排气系统才不会堵塞。为了解决颗粒捕捉器的天生缺陷，很多车厂都采取了一些解决方案，比如三缸的宝马X1，车主普遍反应市区怠速偏高，都在一千转以上，其实就是为了提高怠速时的转速，来提高排气温度，这样就可以防止堵塞，也有的车厂会选择尽量把颗粒捕捉器的位置靠近发动机，这样也能提高排气温度……说到底，无论用什么方法，目的都是为了加速催化，防止堵塞。而目前颗粒捕捉器堵塞问题最严重的大众探岳的2.0T车型，由于其GPF的位置离发动机较远，使得排气温度不够，而且大众也没有通过提升怠速转速，或者改变GPF的位置来防止堵塞，所以搭载的颗粒捕捉器严重堵塞，导致车主饱受油耗暴增、动力减弱、排气故障、自动启停系统故障等质量问题困扰。根据官方的解释，通过加注98号汽油的方法，可以解决这个问题，但是有不少车主即使在加了一段时间98号汽油之后，问题依然不能得到解决，换言之，加注98号汽油只是延缓了堵塞时间，并不能彻底解决问题。回到揽境这台车上来看，现在官方标注需要加注98号汽油，其实根本原因就是这个颗粒捕捉器的问题并没有得到有效的解决，而途昂即便推出新款，它的动力系统也并没有进行重新调教和更换，只是在其它配置上进行了增加，换言之颗粒捕捉器堵塞的可能性依旧存在。目前大众给的解决方法竟然是建议车主不要长期在市区行驶，多去高速上跑，维持半个小时左右，车速超过80km/h，就能达到颗粒捕捉器的再生条件……很明显，大众公司现在就是想把问题拖延下去，一辆城市SUV竟然不能长期在市区行驶，这不管在什么车上都是极不合理的。根据大众现在对于颗粒捕捉器堵塞问题的解决态度和方式方法，我甚至可以说大众根本就不想去解决这个问题，因为对于大众而言，想要彻底的解决这个问题，成本会非常的高，他们不仅需要对油品、地域特征、动力系统的匹配与升级、发动机零部件构造、软件控制单元等各个方面进行重新调教和标定，还要通过综合性的验证去保证稳定性，同时还需要大量的公关费用去淡化消除相关的负面影响，并且还要对已经出问题的车主给出明确的交代。直到今天为止，大众也只是寄希望于车主的运气，然后想通过延缓堵塞时间的方法，去把这个问题淡化掉，比如让车主加98号汽油，不开空调跑半个小时的高速……他们甚至很迅速的研究出了一套应对的话术，而且以最快的速度下发给了各个4S店和官方的客服人员，我只能说不愧是大众。大众的财富密码在SUV这个领域当中，如果不是因为这次颗粒捕捉器堵塞的问题，我估计无论是新出的揽境，还是一直以来卖的都还可以的途昂，又或者是探岳、途观L这种低一个级别的车型，卖的肯定都会非常的好，即便之前大众出过种种问题，网上喷归喷，现实里该去买的还是会去买。那么，为什么会出现这样的情况，难道说这些去买大众的消费者，就真的不上网吗，我觉得未必，在我看来，大众之所以能卖的好，根本原因是找到了专属于他们的“财富密码”。首先，是家族化设计。家族化设计带来最为直接的好处，就是品牌辨识度高，使得任何人在第一眼看到这台车的时候，哪怕你不看车标，都会知道这是一台大众，这也是为什么很多品牌都在搞家族化设计的原因。虽然，我们总是吐槽大众搞的是“套娃设计”，但是我们如果从另一个方面去想一想，假如一个车企不去做这种套娃式的家族化设计，那么你会对这个品牌留下多少的印象，换言之，家族化设计其实就是在不断加深消费者对于品牌形象的记忆，它是一个教育客户的过程，让消费者仅凭外观就对品牌留下深刻的印象，这对于品牌传播而言是非常有利的。其次，是车辆的营销手法。大众通过一系列的营销手法，甚至是通过比如车门上站十几个人的行为，使得很多并不懂车的人产生一种想法，那就是买大众不一定最好的选择，也不一定最有性价比选择，但一定是不会错的选择。换句话说，哪怕他们知道这种车的动力并不会有那么好，没有什么驾驶乐趣，甚至是配置更寒酸，但也正是这种类型的车，才能够把那些“刚需”客户拿捏住，因为“刚需”客户对于车辆的需求摆在这里，使得他们会不断弱化自己对于动力、操控等等方面的个性化需求，转而去追求空间、乘坐舒适度、稳定性、保值率等等，甚至有人被营销“洗脑”过后，会觉得大众就是皮实耐用，哪怕之前发生过帕萨特断A柱的事情，对于他们而言也只会认为是小概率事件，最多就是在日常驾驶的时候更加小心一些，而且他们也会觉得自己在城区道路里并不会开快，甚至还会觉得自己身边的帕萨特车主没有出事儿，那么自己也不会有啥问题，这用术语来说就是幸存者偏差。不过，就这种洗脑式的营销，大众现在还是只能排行第二，毕竟在特斯拉刹车门出现之后，竟然还有特斯拉的车主去DISS那些维权的车主，而且还有人组织摇旗呐喊，表示自己的刹车不失灵……各种鲜活的事件比比皆是。在我看来，大众当年让十几个4S店销售站在车门上的行为，放在今天来看简直就是班门弄斧，人家特斯拉现在根本就不需要销售去站车门，只需要老板没事发发Twitter，员工没事发发微博就可以了，哪怕车子的天窗漏水、哪怕车辆的刹车系统存在隐患，都有一票车主和粉丝出来洗地，甚至还会有人寄律师函给你，或者以“文明”的方式把你从车顶上搬走……可以称得上是魔幻现实的代表作了。再者，就是降维打击。这次不论是新车上市的揽境，还是进行配置升级的途昂，这两台车就单论尺寸而言，把这两台车列入大型SUV的范畴也不为过，可是厂家给它们的定级却只是中大型SUV，换言之就是给这台车锚定了一个价格区间，然后用更大的尺寸、更多的配置还有看似更高的性价比去吸引客户。这个玩法其实国内也有厂家在学，比如我们之前聊过的星越L，玩儿的也是类似的套路，就是用一台尺寸够大的SUV车型去打低一级的市场，从而凸显出车辆的性价比。最后，就是大众的“双车”甚至“多车”战略。我们都知道，国内现在有一汽大众和上汽大众两家合资车企，而在此基础上还有部分进口大众的车型进行销售，从而使得整个大众旗下的车辆，都会有“双车”甚至“多车”同堂竞技的情况出现，这也正是应了那句话：多生孩子好打架。总而言之，无论是揽境还是途昂，这两台车至少在他们这个级别当中，确实还是一个不错的选择，哪怕你觉得他们的外观不如XX车，内饰不如XX车，配置不如XX车，至少一个大众LOGO摆在那里，加上足够大的车辆空间，你的爱人、父母、亲戚、朋友……都不会觉得你买错车。但是，就目前大众所面临的情况来看，如果你真的想去买揽境或者途昂，我劝你再等一等，最起码等到这个颗粒捕捉器堵塞的事情得到有效地解决之后，再去根据市场优惠幅度进行抉择，哪怕到时候的价格出现一些回升，但至少不会成天提心吊胆，为颗粒捕捉器堵塞的事情发愁。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注什么是内卷和躺平？最近又有一个词火了，那就是“躺平”，很多人都觉得这个词很贴切，因为自己就属于“躺平主义”的年轻人。那么，到底什么是躺平呢？其实关于躺平，最简单的定义就是低欲望，咱也别竞争了，什么996、007都与我无关，我就要一份说的过去的收入，然后每天朝九晚五，有双休、年假……咱也没什么追求，就这么躺着活，用最低的欲望、最低的消费，过着无欲无求的生活，很多人在被社会毒打之后，都会觉得这样躺平挺好其实，躺平这件事很早就被人讨论过，多少年前就听过一个故事：有个渔夫躺在沙滩上晒太阳，一个富翁看到了，就问他：“你为什么不利用你晒太阳的时间多钓些鱼呢？”，渔夫反问：“为什么要钓鱼？”，富翁说：“你只有钓到更多的鱼，才能卖更多的钱，这样才能买到更好的渔船和捕鱼工具，雇佣更多的人帮你钓更多的鱼，赚更多的钱。”，渔夫又问：“为什么要赚更多的钱？”，富人说：“这样你就可以什么也不用做，躺在沙滩上晒太阳！”，渔夫看了看富人说：“我这不是正在晒太阳吗？”。这个故事应该就是解释躺平最好的代表作了。那么，什么又是“内卷”呢？前段时间有部电视剧叫《小舍得》，我看到20集左右，实在看不下去就弃剧了，这部剧就完美的演绎了什么叫内卷化，其中有段台词是这么说的：“当代年轻人的内卷，就是大家在一个电影院里看电影，本来都非常其乐融融，可中间的人偏要站起来想看的更全面一点，结果有了第一个就有第二个，有了第二个就有无数个，再后来，他们不甘于只是站着，他们站到了椅子上，搬起了板凳。结果坐在后面的人按耐不住了，打肿脸充胖子，一家人拖着另一个人看电影，甚至还拿起了梯子。慢慢的，整个电影院的人都站起来了，甚至都快挨到天花板，只有坐在第一排的人，若无其事的看着电影嘻嘻哈哈。”国内的教育培训，是内卷最严重的代表，所以又有了个新词——“鸡娃”，就是指父母像是给孩子打了鸡血一样，拼命的给孩子报辅导班，安排各种学习和活动，今天“鸡娃”不在我们讨论范围之内，咱们就聊聊“内卷”和“躺平”心态的人，到底适合买什么样的车？什么是内卷的购车心态？首先说说内卷心态的消费者，买车的时候最先考虑的是什么？因为内卷代表的是毫无意义的竞争，是焦虑感带来的消费，所以，内卷的客户买车，更多的是考虑比较虚的面子工程。比如我们经常听到这样的话：XXX车型我肯定不会买的，因为XXX已经有了。我就想问一句，别人已经有了，为什么你就不能买了呢，开一样的车是会影响你性能，还是影响你故障率呢？其实都不是，影响的只是心情而已。买车内卷化其实挺严重的，只是在买车这件事跟另一件事息息相关，所以才让大部分人比较克制，而这个“另一件事”就是买房，基本上所有人都会考虑一个问题：到底是先买房，还是先买车？比如在异地打工的年轻人，买房意味着定居，买车意味着交际。很多人说，房子我这辈子都买不起，还是买台车更实际，其实，买房这件事关键看需求，几乎所有人买房都会把预算开到最满格，能进一流学区的，绝不看二流学区房；能靠近三甲医院的，绝不看社区医院；能离公司近的，绝不看偏远郊区……因此，只要有排名就有竞争，然后大家都拼命的用自己最满格的预算，去抢夺所谓的优质资源，然而即便是在得到之后，心里还是有些不满，因为再努努力，上面还有更好的。大多数年轻人买房都会背房贷，每个月的家庭总收入是固定的，去掉房贷以后，可支配的收入就相当有限了，这时候买车的预算还能有多少，大家的心态就是关键。如果务实一些，仅仅为了解决上下班代步问题，偶尔周末自驾游，保证基本的通勤要求，那国产和合资的紧凑级轿车应该是首选，一般10万左右的预算，已经可以买到不错的小轿车了，比如优惠力度非常大的别克英朗，还有他的兄弟车型科鲁泽，国产的吉利帝豪GL、长安逸动PLUS都是销量和口碑不错的车型。但是，内卷的消费者不会这么想，他们会在查阅相关资料之后，发现英朗和科鲁泽之所以优惠多，是因为三缸发动机不受待见，而1.5L发动机技术又太陈旧，完全跟不上时代的步伐；国产的吉利帝豪GL和长安逸动PLUS，品牌力又有些不足，车辆保值率也不是很高，开出去也有些没面子，同时还会担心国产车今后是不是足够耐用，可能在网上看到的都是缺点和投诉。所以，他们看到最后会开始焦虑，焦虑就导致他们想要投入更多预算，去解决自己担心的问题，如果手头拿不出这么多钱，那就只能贷款，一方面要解决面子问题，一方面要解决虚无缥缈的焦虑，最后把自己搞的惨兮兮，说不定买的那台车还不是自己最喜欢的。我身边就有很多这样内卷心态的客户，我也不知道他们在焦虑什么，他们有的主动卷，有的被动卷。主动卷的那一类，属于生活的方方面面，他们都要去对比、去竞争，完全不考虑适合自己的就是最好的，买的房、开的车、孩子的学校、背的包、带的链……只要是能被人注意的一切，都要追求比别人更好。在买车这件事上，他们咨询我的问题，我分析不出结果，因为从专业的角度去分析，宝马7系和路虎揽胜之间没有任何对比性，新款奔驰C级和全新汉兰达也是完全不同的产品，但是他们总能从这些车身上，找到符合自己需求的点，总是觉得很焦虑，感觉这个也好、那个也行，但是每一样又都不是很完美。被动卷的人，就类似公司的加班族，老板不走他们也不走，主动加班不求回报，本来只有一个或者几个同事这么努力，结果一群同事都学他，最后你也没办法，只能跟着加班。买车也是一样，有的人也不是自己要买。我曾经就接到过不止一次的咨询，其实他自己不需要用车，只是每次周末同事喊他自驾游，他都没有车，总是蹭同事的车，感觉不好意思，所以才考虑买台车，还不能太低于同事车的档次，今后大家就可以轮流开车去自驾，这就是被动卷，毫无意义，但似乎也没办法解决。大家仔细想想，如果刨除与人对比的心态，咱们不考虑别人的感受，单纯从自己实用的角度出发，你还会买你现在开的这台车吗？什么是躺平的购车心态?躺平心态听起来比较极端，躺着什么事也不做，那不就是所谓的没有上进心吗？其实并不是这样，现在大家压力都很大，同业竞争要付出更多的努力，从而导致个体的“收益努力比”严重下滑，躺平只是网友的一种调侃，什么“只要躺的足够快，社会就不会对我有伤害”，“只要躺的足够平， 韭菜、内卷都远离”。其实，大家只是觉得自己付出了这么多努力，但是回报太少。躺平也分“主动躺”和“被动躺”。我先说个主动躺的，这个故事之前我好像聊过。这哥们是我老同学，他学习不太好，在一家国企里当工人，后来辞职出来当过保安和门卫，年纪轻轻、不求上进，空闲时间特别多，他喜欢喝酒，没事就约朋友一起打打麻将、喝喝酒，也会带带娃，陪孩子去上培训班，他就是我身边躺平的典型代表。可是，他有“资本”去躺，因为他的媳妇家条件相当可以，老丈人九几年就开始做生意，名下的房产月租金收入，应该抵得上一些小白领的年收入了，他老丈人希望女婿努力一点，起码有个体面的工作，至少说出去面子上有光，实在不行就跟他一起去做工程，结果他直接回了一句，我给你当门卫可以，让我当老板我肯定不行，老丈人实在拿他没办法，只好由着他。但是，我这哥们有一个优点，就是他对躺平理解的特别透彻，因为他知道选择躺平，就必须对生活无欲无求。比如，老丈人要把自己的5系给他开，他不要，老丈人以为他看不上二手车，就去给他定了一台Q7，他跟媳妇说让老丈人赶紧退了，如果硬要塞给他，他就把车扔大马路上，坚决不开。又比如，媳妇说他手机太破，要给他换个新的，他说我除了发发微信，其他啥也不玩，要新手机有什么用？他们小夫妻俩工作收入都不高，也很清闲，媳妇也无所谓他有没有上进心，毕竟老丈人的生意、N多套房的租金，足够他们过上体面的生活，所以我这个老同学早早的学会了躺平，就享受这样的状态。这是“主动躺”，但大家也听出来，不是谁都可以这样主动躺的，这就是看电影坐在最前排的，他们有“资本”去躺，只要他们想躺，随时可以躺。有人问，什么叫财务自由？其实赚多少钱都不算财务自由，这里面最核心的问题，是你的需求在哪里？如果一日三餐粗茶淡饭，能养活自己就好，那完全可以找个偏远山村定居下来，给家里装个宽带，每天醒来就上网，饿了就吃饭，然后继续上网，累了就睡觉，这辈子就这么过下去，财务自由的成本，应该每个月几千块钱就够了。但是，如果你要把房产、医疗、教育等各方面的优质资源都占为己有，那财务自由的成本可就没边了。所以，大多数人都是被动躺平。有本书就解释过这个问题，这本书叫《第四消费时代》，他把消费分成四个阶段：第一阶段，是少数中产阶级享受的消费。早几年奢侈品消费暴增，就是这个阶段，是极少数先富起来的人，开始的高消费过程。第二阶段，是经济高速发展，以家庭为中心的消费。说白了，就是中产家庭越来越多，开始讲究生活品质，有了一定消费能力之后，开始改善型消费。第三阶段，是消费的个人化趋势风生水起。大家喜欢更符合个人品味的东西，对所消费的产品更讲究文化的内涵。第四阶段，属于共享社会。人们不再追求“经济飞速发展”和“效益最大化”, 而是享受简约的生活方式；不再终日奔波、蜗居在大都市, 而是重新发现地方的特色和自然的力量；不再努力工作拼命挣钱，不再苦心钻研如何升迁, 而是为了帮助他人、共享快乐、获得内心的平和与幸福。在第四消费时代，环保节约成为一种文化，人与人间的交往自然而温暖，第四消费社会告别了“购物使人幸福”的时代, 人们开始追问“除了物质之外, 什么才能让人感到真正的幸福”。其实，我觉得并不能把“躺平”的年轻人彻底否定，小躺怡情、大躺伤身，躺下来容易，再想站起来就很难了，如果真的决定躺平，那在买车的时候，就不能追求太多奢侈的享受、个性的满足，而是直接进入第四消费时代，要追求内心的平和，要享受分享带来的快乐，要能把3万块的五菱宏光Mini EV开出幸福的感觉，不要觉得内饰LOW、功能少、续航短、速度慢，哪怕在路上被人滴滴按喇叭催，自己心里都不能生气，保安师傅不让你停门口也别难过，要微笑面对一切，因为咱们已经选择了躺平，心态不平就不叫躺平。内卷和躺平如何找到平衡点?其实大家也发现了，内卷和躺平其实都是两个极端，内卷是自己给自己制造焦虑，投入无止境无意义的竞争；躺平是彻底放弃，低欲望、不努力，理想化的活在自己的世界里。其实在买车这件事上，更多人还是想要寻找平衡点。说实话，买车这件事一点儿都不去跟人比，也不现实，汽车是品牌化最严重的商品，好的品牌不仅代表面子，也代表品质和技术的先进性，不能说因为我躺平了，所以明明可以消费更好的车型，偏偏要躺着买更差的产品；也不能因为内卷，被逼到了自己明明够不到的车型上，打肿脸充胖子，买完就背着沉重的月供，之后实在扛不住压力，面临断供的风险，被迫又把车给卖了。B站有个《罗翔说刑法》，他曾经有个理论非常有道理，任何一件事都会有三种解读方式，正说、反说和折中说。现在的网络内容，大家都喜欢娱乐化，不喜欢说教，白岩松之前说年轻人不要妄想低房价谁都能买得起，不要妄想轻轻松松就找到工作，不要妄想自己喜欢的女生一追就能到手，结果被网友喷的体无完肤。说到底，这段话有人觉得是他在提醒年轻人要努力一点，让自己过上更好的生活，但更多的人则认为是站着说话不腰疼，不仅他自己掌握了社会上最优质的资源，还看不起我们这些内卷和躺平的年轻人。我曾经也因为发过一条微博，引来上千条骂我的评论。前不久，奔驰AMG GT Black Series上市，售价368.88万，百公里加速3.2秒，我说特斯拉Model 3高性能全驱版百公里加速3.3秒，售价33.99万，其他我啥也没说，就这条微博被人喷的体无完肤，具体是个什么情况，咱们后期会聊GT SHOW的内容，穿插着可以说说这件事。其实，我觉得买车是可以往上够一够的，只要在自己的能力承受范围之内，买台品牌更合适、配置更好、空间更足够的车型，一定是没错的，只是不要把自己压力搞的太大，不要把资金投入到虚无缥缈的对比当中，不是因为别人有，所以我才要更好，而是因为我需要、我想要。有很多人是买车之前特别快乐，但是用车之后不快乐，也有一些人是买车之前不快乐，但是用车之后很快乐，我也想听听各位的意见，大家买车内卷了吗，躺平了吗？你是买之前快乐，还是用之后快乐呢？可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, EPISODE #136 I'm Andrea Samadi, a former educator who has been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports, and the workplace for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast, you will know that we've uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with an understanding of our brain. Watch the interview on YouTube here. My goal with this podcast is to bring the most current neuroscience research to you and make it applicable in your life whether you are a teacher in the classroom, or using these ideas to improve productivity and results in your workplace. As I am researching and learning new ideas, I'm also implementing them myself, and making connections to past speakers, so that we can all benefit from the research that is emerging in this new field of educational neuroscience. Today's episode features Lois Letchford[i], the author of the book Reversed: A Memoir[ii], that tells the story of her son who failed first grade in 1994. His prognosis was dire. Testing revealed he could read 10 words, had no strengths, and a “low IQ.”  The first few chapters of her book are painful for a parent to read, and even worse if you're a teacher or a coach, knowing how important your role is for shaping the lives of the students who come before you. Her book sets the stage for just how chilling, and impactful their story is. I'll read it slowly because there's lots to think about here. Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.  —THE IMITATION GAME I have to spoil the story, and tell you there is a happy ending, with Lois' son defying the odds he was given at an early age and graduating with his Ph.D. in 2018 from Oxford University.[iii]  I can just see this story as a movie, especially when I saw the book trailer on YouTube[iv], with the beautiful and prestigious University in the background, where scholars go to earn their degrees, where one young man would work harder than most to achieve what many only dream of. This story is of dreams becoming reality, where a Mother used the principles, she learned from Dr. Immordino Yang, to help her son to achieve his dreams. This is our third case study on the podcast, with our first with Bridgid Ruden, and her story of overcoming a severe traumatic brain injury, and then with Barbara Arrowsmith-Young and her story of changing her brain and leaving her learning disability behind. Both of these stories moved me to such an extent that I realized the importance of featuring examples of people who have used the strategies we suggest on this podcast, with outstanding results.  Which brings us to the fascinating story of Lois Letchford. She had the opportunity to homeschool her son for six short months. During this time, she applied all the principals of learning provided by Dr. Immordino Yang. It turned her son's life around – and hers too.  Lois Letchford BIO: Lois Letchford specializes in teaching children who have struggled to learn to read. Her creative teaching methods vary depending on the reading ability of the student, employing age-appropriate, rather than reading-age-appropriate, material. Her non-traditional background, multi-continental exposure, and passion for helping failing students have equipped her with a unique skill set and perspective. Originally a physical education teacher, she later completed a Master's in Literacy and Reading from the State University of New York at Albany. Lois has presented her work at The California Reading Association, Michigan Summer Institute, and New York State Reading Association conferences. She is co-president of the Albany City Reading Association and a member of the Australian College of Education. Lois continues to work with students to provide education and support to their teachers. Let's meet Lois Letchford, and hear her story, with the hopes that it will inspire you to look at your students in a different light, or your own child, and see the unlimited potential that just might need some extra fanning, and new ideas or strategies to ignite their excellence. Welcome Lois! Thank you for reaching out to me with your fascinating life's story on teaching and learning that you tell so beautifully in your book Reversed. Q1: Just to set the stage for those who have not yet ready you book, when you got that phone call that day, waiting the news that Nicholas had passed his final tests for his PHD and he said, “you can write your book now” I wondered how he handled the fact that this was his story of struggle going out to the world.  Do you think he realized that it was time to show others that there is always a way by sharing his story of determination, struggle and success? Q2: When I read your recollection of his life at school in PART 1 of your book “He sits alone every lunch time, every day” or “He has no friends, and no communication with anyone. It's almost like he is an outcast” I couldn't help but remember a young kid like this in my class...now this was middle school, and this kid, would sit by himself and not say a word. It wasn't his academics he struggled with, but more the social aspect of school, making friends and there was this group of us who all worked hard to make him feel included and a part of everything. I think it took a good year before he finally found his place, and It wasn't hard to find him a few years ago, he's now a doctor. How did Nicholas keep his fire going through those difficult early years without those early relationships to “shape” his social and emotional development? Q3: When I was reading your story, of the struggles to learn, I couldn't help but to think of the extra work I've put in with my youngest daughter. Not even close to your story, but listeners who have noticed their child, or a student who needs constant support (not all children are the same—my oldest achieves perfect scores with little effort, but my youngest,  if I think back to kindergarten, it was with the letters of alphabet, to counting numbers by 5, progressing to vocabulary or spelling words I would print off in squares, cut out and then carry with us in the car to practice. Flashcards galore, they were everywhere in my house. The extra work built around trying whatever possible to inspire learning. Your ship at sea analogy made sense to me. Complete sense. I remember the moment I felt the same way. Can you explain why reading more books, working harder, doing the same thing, was not the answer with your ship at sea analogy? Q4: Here I go tearing up again as I write my questions for you. It must be something to do with the process of teaching and learning. There's something extremely powerful to me of educational institutions where you can “feel” the learning that has taken place before you. I used to spend time at the University of Toronto's Hart House gym, and it was a feeling I'd never forget. I actually still have a towel from this gym to remind me of that feeling. Walking through these old buildings, looking at the athletes on the wall, wondering who they were. Exactly like Robin Williams in the movie “Dead Poet Society.”  Can you share what it was like teaching Nicholas to read maps, “on the outskirts of Oxford University, a seat of learning for almost one thousand years” (page 100)? Q5: I also have tried everything to “make learning fun” and felt for you when Nana said “put the books away and make learning fun” and you said “But how do I do that?” How was learning for you growing up  and at what point did you discover that you had Dyslexia? What strategies did you use to find the joy in the learning? Q6: What were some shifts that helped Nicholas with his learning? Q7: How did you come across Mary Helen Immordino-Yang and what specifically helped you from her work? Q8: What were some of the secrets that you think got you out of this Quagmire (I had to look that up!)  I must be a British term my Mum didn't use.  She would have said jam or pickle. How can parents or teachers listening implement some of the ideas that you found to be the most useful for Nicholas? Q9: What are you currently working on now? Where can people learn more about your innovative teaching methods? Q10: Have I missed anything important you would like me to ask?

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, EPISODE #132 with Barbara Arrowsmith Young, an incredible woman from my hometown, Toronto, Canada, who is otherwise known as “The Woman Who Changed Her Brain”[i] Watch this interview on YouTube here. In this episode, you will learn: ✔︎The heroic story of Barbara Arrowsmith-Young that Dr. Norman Doidge, the author of The Brain That Changes Itself says is “truly heroic, on par with the achievements of Helen Keller.” ✔︎ What specific learning challenges Barbara noticed by 1st grade, and how she struggled through school during the time of the “fixed” brain, before the concept of neuroplasticity. ✔︎ How her parents prepared her for the legacy she would create years after she graduated from OISE’s Faculty of Education in Toronto. ✔︎ How a Russian neuropsychologist Alexander Luria and psychologist Mark Rosenzweig would help her to find the solution she was looking for to overcome her learning challenges and change her brain. ✔︎ What is the Arrowsmith School and Program that serves schools in educational institutions in worldwide? ✔︎ How you can connect with the Arrowsmith School to learn more about their programs to change student’s brains. Welcome back, I'm Andrea Samadi, a former educator who has been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports, and the workplace for the past 20 years. If you have been listening to our podcast, you will know that we’ve uncovered that if we want to improve our social and emotional skills, and experience success in our work and personal lives, it all begins with an understanding of our brain. I first learned about Barbara Arrowsmith Young when researching for Brian Fact Friday and EPISODE #129 as she was a case study in Dr. Norman Doidge’s book, The Brain That Changes Itself[ii] Dr. Doidge is a Canadian scientist, medical doctor, and psychiatrist who was one of the researchers who put Neuroplasticity on the map and he dedicated a whole chapter in his book to Barbara’s story called “Building Herself a Better Brain” which is exactly what she did. You can read Barbara’s book, The Woman Who Changed Her Brain,[iii]  that’s now in its third edition, here.   I’ve heard Dr. Daniel Amen say over and over again that “you are not stuck with the brain that you have. You can be empowered to change it for the better[iv]” and Barbara Arrowsmith Young did just that, and more. Her story just below me away. Literally. It was the first time I cried while researching someone, as her story of struggling as a young girl hit a chord for me. The whole reason I do the work I’m doing now, is to help educators or those in the workplace to use the understanding of their brain to improve productivity (whether that’s in the classroom, or the workplace) and when someone is struggling in this area, like many people who have dedicated their life to the field of teaching and learning, most would want to know “why is this person struggling and what can we do to help them past this?” You can watch Barbara Arrowsmith Young’s  TEDx Talk, or read her story in Dr. Doidge’s book, to dive deeper into her story, that began when she was told she had a mental defect with her brain when she was younger, would never learn like other children, and would just have to learn to live with these limitations. For those of us who have children who need a little extra help, or who have worked with children with learning disabilities, we know that many times, even though other areas of the brain are highly functioning, and can even appear to make up for those areas of the brain that are not as strong, not addressing the areas of weakness, fixing or correcting them, can cause years of frustration for the child and will show up eventually when the brain becomes tired of working hard to compensate for the weaker areas.  This even showed up in my results with my brain scan at Amen Clinics with the X test, or the Connor’s Continuous Performance Test Score where we had to hit a key on the keyboard of a computer every time an X appeared, and not hit it when we didn’t see the x. Dr. Creado who did my test evaluation mentioned that “he has noticed that people who have weaker executive functions in their brain can develop life hacks to help them to focus and concentrate when they need to. But the problem is, that with time, and not working on brain health, or function, it will just become more difficult to keep up with these life hacks. Eventually, the brain will not be able to keep up with the hack which is why it’s so important to look and see what’s happening in your brain. You won’t know any of this, without looking.”[v]    Her work, begun in 1978, has been recognized as one of the first examples of the practical application of neuroplasticity which, simply put, is the ability of the brain to change and rewire itself over one’s lifetime. As the Director of Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Program, she continues to develop and refine programs for students with learning difficulties.     Her vision is that all students struggling with learning will have the opportunity to benefit from cognitive programs utilizing the principles of neuroplasticity, programs that change the brain’s capacity to learn and open to these learners a world of possibilities.     The genesis of the Arrowsmith Program’s cognitive exercises lies in Barbara Arrowsmith-Young's journey of discovery and innovation to overcome her severe learning disabilities. Her inspirational book ‘The Woman who Changed Her Brain’ has become an international bestseller and a third edition updated with new research was published in December 2019.    Barbara is the recipient of the 2019 Leaders and Legends Innovation Award from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto for her outstanding contributions to education in Ontario.   About the Arrowsmith Program   The Arrowsmith Program has been recognized by Sharp Brains as the Most Innovative Special Education Program of its kind, identifying and strengthening the weak cognitive functions that underlie specific learning difficulties.    The Arrowsmith Program is offered in over 90 educational organizations in 13 countries.  Ongoing research with neuroscientists, neuropsychologists and psychologists is demonstrating that the program not only changes the brain, cognitive functioning, and academic achievement but also leads to social-emotional well-being.   ‘Barbara’s story is truly heroic, on par with the achievements of Helen Keller.’  Norman Doidge M.D. author of the New York Times Bestseller The Brain that Changes Itself.    Barbara Arrowsmith-Young is the founder of the Arrowsmith Program, an assessment process and a suite of cognitive exercises designed to stimulate and strengthen weak areas of cognitive functioning that underlie a range of learning difficulties, which has been delivered for 40+ years throughout the world.  Sadly, Barbara grew up at the time when most medical experts believed our brains were fixed, so she had to defy the odds, and find solutions to overcome her learning challenges on her own. She did and created the Arrowsmith School is Toronto where she now teaches other children many of the strategies that she used herself to strengthen her brain. Let’s meet this extraordinary woman, from my hometown, Barbara Arrowsmith Young. Welcome Barbara, I’m so grateful to have found you. It started when I read Dr. Doidge’s book The Brain That Changes Itself and chapter 2 of his book was dedicated to your story. My eyes saw Toronto (where I grew up and went to school) and Peterborough where you were raised, where I still send some Christmas cards to friends and family that way, and now I wanted to know your story. Then I saw your TEDx and the connection grew stronger with my background in teaching (I saw we both attended OISE’s Faculty of Education for our teacher training), and I had an interest in earning additional training in strategies for students with Learning Disabilities. Your story brought tears to my eyes as my focus on for the past 9 years has been to create content to help students/teachers in the classroom to instill a positive mindset for these young learners, and I saw how things were so different before there was such an emphasis on these skills.  Thanks so much for being here today. Q1: Barbara, can you share what you were told about your brain, and learning when you were in 1st grade, (mental block) and the challenges you had growing up at a time when doctors believed that our brains were fixed? Q2: What specifically did you have a difficult time with and what did this do to your ability to learn at school (thinking of those students in the classroom today with a learning challenge)? Q3: Things reached their lowest point for you in grade 8 where you just couldn’t see how you could go on with learning being this difficult, but your father, an inventor, helped you to adopt the mindset you would need to soldier on. When I heard what he told you, it made me feel more connected to you. I had a mousepad given to me from a friend back in Toronto as a gift when I was moving to the US, with the exact same saying on it. What did he teach you and how did this help you to move forward? Q4: This is where my mind started to blow up a bit when I watched your TEDx. A bit because I can’t imagine researching before the internet. How did you come across the work of neuropsychologist Alexander Luria and psychologist Mark Rosenzweig[vi] and what did you learn from them? Q5: The final missing piece for anyone who has gone through life with a learning challenge like you, or like me as a parent, watching my youngest child, wondering why can one of my kids sail through school, without any effort, and the other, needs constant support and guidance? Or a teacher out there, wondering what else could we do to help that one student putting in extra effort, without any results. Can you share what are the Assessments[vii] you use at Arrowsmith to identify a learning challenge, and what can they do for a student to help them past this challenge? Q6: This podcast is going into our 6th season, and 3rd year and has a reach of over 148 countries around the world. Our top countries are the USA, Australia next and Canada and the UK not far behind. I saw your participating sites link[viii] on your website, and wonder how schools could become a participating site to access your assessments and curriculum? Q7: What programs can you tell our audience about at Arrowsmith Schools? I saw a powerful video about your Summer Intensive program in Toronto that drew students from around the world (USA, Australia, the UK and beyond). Do you have anything like this coming up? Q8: What’s your vision for Arrowsmith Schools, and on the horizon for you that we should all be aware of? For people who want to learn more about your school, assessments and programs, I have put all of the links in the show notes, in addition to your website. https://arrowsmithschool.org/ Where else can people follow you and your school? Thank you Barbara for taking the time to speak with me. It’s a true honor to meet someone who has made such an incredible impact on the world, that began with an understanding of your brain.  I will continue to follow work and wish you much success!

Bob Burg; Sales expert, Speaker, and Author. Today’s Episode Summary: On today’s podcast, I have a very special guest, Mr. Bob Burg; a sales expert, speaker, and author of several books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales approaching two million copies. Bob started his career 40 years ago with a sales system that changed his destiny in the world of sales forever and now he is helping other people to grow in sales. Bob also has a library and has turned the knowledge and wisdom of other people into his own through its right application. Today Bob is sharing with us his wisdom of 40 years on sales and he is also entertaining questions of our Clubhouse audience.   Bob explains that selling a product/service is not just about going out and telling people about it. It’s about having a well-proven system that guarantees to generate more sales. Such type of sales system is usually based on logical and specific set of ‘how to’ principles which can help you to predictably achieve more sales. Secondly, don’t make “money” as your prime reason of sales. Rather focus on providing “value” to your customers because money is just a reward for hitting the target of serving others. If you will approach selling this way, people will willingly exchange their money with the value, they will also be your walking ambassadors, and they will refer you to everybody. As a salesperson, you should focus on the wants and desires of your customer. You should provide them value that THEY think is a value, not what YOU think is a value. If you are a Solopreneur or you are running a small company then you should focus on making enough money so that you could afford to hire people who could take care of your administrative work. And if you will not hire someone at some stage or point, you won't be able to grow sustainably. If you want that your employees, particularly young employees, follow the core values of your company then you should remind them again and again what your core values are and how your business wants them to work. Secondly, your own actions must be aligned with your core values otherwise your employees won’t follow these values either. If you want to increase charges for your service, first make sure you are providing a significant amount of value. Secondly, calculate the number of hours you are giving to a client (whose rates you want to increase); if you are investing X amount of time on a client, that X you can give to 2 clients, you should better increase your rates. These are few sales tips from our honorable guest & sales expert; Mr. Bob Burg. All of these tips have the potential to generate more sales and bring more money into your hands. If you are selling any product/service and your sales are stagnant and you want to grow them then don't miss this episode. You will get a mind-changing sales approach in this podcast and it will help you to generate more sales for your business. To learn more about “How to generate more sales”, take advantage of this podcast and listen to the 40 years of Bob's experience just in 1 hr &13 min. What You Will Learn from this Episode: How Bob discovered a well-proven sales system to boost his sales? Definition of a “sales system” that can give you the desired result? Why do salespeople fail? Relationship of personal development with sales. What is the best way to approach selling? Importance of providing value to the customer. Concept of ‘Price’ vs. ‘Value’. ‘Value’ from customer’s perspective vs. ‘value’ from a salesman’s perspective. Importance of ‘asking questions’ and ‘listening’ in the field of sales. Importance of Sandler’s sales model. Books of Bob and their impact on people’s lives. What you will learn from Q&A session b/w audience & Bob Burg How you can increase sales if you are a solopreneur or running a small company? How you can engage your employees with your company values? Is there any incongruence between “being a Go-Giver” & “having a targeted market”? How to balance “being good to everyone” & being strategically good? How to be authentically curious & genuinely ask questions in any meeting or conversation? When you should increase the rates of your product or service? How to reduce the communication gap with your clients? How to judge if you are providing value to your client are not?

Golden Nuggets from Episode: “If you want to make a lot of money in sales then don’t have ‘making money’ as your target. Your target is serving others. And when you hit this target, you will get a reward and that reward will come in the form of money. Remember that money is simply the reward for hitting the target of serving others.” –Bob Burg “Great salesmanship is never about the salesperson or product or service. Great salesmanship is about the other person. It’s about adding immense value to the lives of those you touch.” –Bob Burg “Money is simply an echo of value.” –Bob Burg “You don’t make money out of a hobby.” –Bob Burg “Money follows the value” –Bob Burg “If you are serving a client, your goal is to get them to the finish line; your goal is to get them the result that you agreed upon. That result doesn’t matter how much money they are paying you.” –Corey Berrier “Will it make money? It isn’t a bad question. It is a great question; it is just a bad first question. The first question should be does it serve? Will it bring immense value to other human beings?” –Bob Burg “Value is always in the eyes of the beholder. It’s not what we think is valuable about this OR what we think they should think is valuable about this. It’s what THEY think is valuable about this.” –Bob Burg “If you want to be curious, MAKE A DECISION TO BE CURIOUS. Because action inspires feeling.” –Bob Burg   “Solopreneurs first do everything on their own and then little by little they find right people who can replace them in certain areas.” –Bob Burg   Bob Burg’s Website: Website: https://burg.com/   My Website & Social Media Handles: Website: https://salesceo.co/ Facebook:  @Corey Berrier https://www.facebook.com/corey.berrier Instagram:  @coreyberrier https://www.instagram.com/coreyberrier/ @successfullifepodcast https://www.instagram.com/successfullifepodcast/ Twitter: @ successfullifepodcast https://twitter.com/success40324744 Linkedin:  Corey Berrier- Successful Life Podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreysalescoach/ YouTube: Successful Life Podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrPl4lUyKV7hZxoTksQDsyg/featured

How are you performing in all areas of your life? Are you burning out or slaying? In this episode Vanessa Bennett from Next Evolution Performance joins Glen to answer some community questions, including:

Today we have a special BONUS episode on the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast with a very insightful backstory for how we came to meet our next guest. But first,  if you are new here, my name is Andrea Samadi, and I’m a former educator who created this podcast to bring the most current neuroscience research, along with high performing experts who have risen to the top of their field, with specific strategies or ideas that you can implement immediately, whether you are an educator, or in the corporate space, to take your results to the next level. If we want to improve our social, emotional and cognitive abilities, it all starts with an understanding of our brain.  You can watch this interview on YouTube here.  ----------------BACKSTORY----------------- I first heard our next guest on Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen’s Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast[i] right at the start of the Pandemic last May 2020 where I learned about a “Step 5 Process to Managing Trauma.” At the time of this interview, many people around me were just beginning to feel the stressors and pressure that this global pandemic was having on the world, and I began to pay attention to what this speaker was saying. I usually listen to my podcasts early morning and takes notes on my phone, and I began quickly writing what I was learning on this podcast. This speaker caught my attention because she mentioned that she had spent 25 years in the in South Africa in the worst areas—working with local schools, and community centers where she would teach them about their brain and their mind, and her work had such an incredible impact on those around her, they would fill these rooms, with standing room only. I know what it takes to fill a room, coming from my work in the speaking industry, working closely with Bob Proctor Seminars, so I knew she had to be doing something outstanding to draw this much interest. This podcast episode ended and I went back to my usual work life and interviewing new speakers. At that time, I was referred to a publisher and was working with many of authors connected to this polisher (Corwin Press), and my interview schedule filled up through the summer, and I wasn’t looking for new guests, I was just trying to keep up with the demand to interview the ones I had in cue. Then I had an email from one of my LinkedIn contacts, John Prucha[ii], from Atlanta, GA, who I heard from occasionally as he was enjoying the podcast episodes and often would send me his thoughts and feedback. One day he sent me a private message asking if I had considered reaching out to Dr. Carolyn Leaf[iii] for the podcast. At the time he sent me the message, I was swamped with the line-up of guests, but I do take all referrals seriously, and wrote down Dr. Leaf’s name on my desk.  And went back to work as usual. A couple of weeks later I was working on a Character Book that I am creating, and this time, I am doing the interior design of the book, instead of sending it to a publisher, and I was looking for some headings to go along with the lessons I was creating. For each Character Trait, like Attentiveness, I have created ways to learn this attribute, and had the heading THINK (with some tips on what to think about before studying how to become more attentive), LEARN (the actual lesson on attentiveness), TAKE ACTION (with an activity to implement attentiveness into your daily life) and I was searching for the last heading. What happens to people after they learn a new skill? When I don’t know the answer to something, I usually type it into Google and see what comes up. I typed in THINK, LEARN, and the FIRST thing to come up was a book called Think, Learn, Succeed: Understanding and Using Your Mind to Thrive at School, the Workplace and Life[iv] by Dr. Caroline Leaf!  If you had been in my office, you would have seen me glance at the note on my desk as my brain processed, “Hey, wasn’t that the same person who John Prucha from LinkedIn asked me to contact?” Then I typed Dr. Leaf’s name into my notes, and there she was, on the Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, so I put down what I was doing, and emailed her offices to request her as a guest on the podcast. I don’t believe in accidents, or that things happen by chance or luck. I believe that when there is an opportunity that we can easily miss it if we are not aware. I really should have reached out to Dr. Leaf the minute I knew of her background with education and the brain, which is the whole entire theme of this podcast, for those who have been following us.  I did hear back from her offices, from someone named Jessica, who let me know that Dr. Leaf was currently swamped, but for me to reach back to her in January. Of course I put a note up on my calendar on my wall to contact Dr. Leaf then, and circled it so I wouldn’t forget. And went on with my work and life, until I was contacted by Podbean, who hosts this podcast, to see if I could be interested in moderating an event that was coming up in November of 2020, called Wellness Week. I wrote back that I would love to do this and asked to learn more about the session I would be moderating. I received an email back that I would be running the session about Neuroscience, Mental Health and Coaching with John Kim, and….Dr. Caroline Leaf! Of course I did a deep dive into Dr. Leaf’s work prior to that session, and loved every minute of speaking with her, learning more, taking more notes, and knowing that it would be so much fun to one day interview her face to face on The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. And today is that day. World-renowned neuroscientist and best-selling author Dr. Caroline Leaf, is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input.  During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace. Dr. Leaf is about to release her NEW book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress and Toxic Thinking (March 2, 2021) where the solution is offered in five action-oriented steps called the Neurocycle, where she shares practical application and strategies for readers. Backed by clinical research and illustrated with compelling case studies, Dr. Leaf provides a scientifically supported plan to find and eliminate the root of anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts in reader’s lives so they can build a healthy new and automated neural network in 63 days, the length of time to properly build a new habit. “I truly believe that mental mess is something we all experience often,” writes Dr. Leaf, “and that it isn’t something we should be ashamed of. This is my profession, and I still have to clean up my mind daily. The events and circumstances of life aren’t going anywhere; people make a lot of decisions every day that affect us all, suffering of some sort for you and your loved ones is inevitable. That said, I wholeheartedly believe that although the events and circumstances can’t be controlled, we can control our reactions to these events and circumstances. This is mind-management in action!” Dr. Leaf leverages the strategies she has developed working with patients over the last 38 years to teach readers how to foster and cultivate the power of their own thinking and direct their own brain changes. Mind-management, when done correctly, helps facilitate talk between the conscious, the subconscious, and the nonconscious mind. This, in turn, gets brainwaves flowing in a healthy way, optimizing brain function. This is done by implementing the Neurocycle, a simple, clinically researched mind-management tool for personal use to address and ameliorate such warning signals as anxiety, depression, toxic thinking, inability to concentrate, irritability, exhaustion and burnout before they take over someone’s mind. In CLEANING UP YOUR MENTAL MESS, you will learn: What happens when we don’t use our minds properly Mind-management and why we need it How the 5 steps can help reduce anxiety and depression by up to 81% according to clinical studies Why mind-management is the solution to cleaning up your mental mess How the science can help us transition from being aware of toxic thoughts, to catching and managing them in their early stages How our thoughts physically affect ourselves and others How to capitalize on directed neuroplasticity using the Neurocycle To apply mind-management to unwire toxic habits and trauma How to leverage the lessons in the book for their daily lifestyle, including connection, brain-building, sleep, diet, exercise, people-pleasing, toxic perfectionism, overthinking, toxic emails and texts Why mindfulness is not enough and how strategic mind-management through the 5 steps can take a reader beyond mindfulness You can order your copy of Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess[v] starting March 2nd (and pre-order your copy if you are listening to this podcast on March 1st). Welcome Dr. Leaf, it’s such a pleasure to meet you face to face after working with you during Podbean’s Wellness Week for our session back in November last year. Intro: Dr. Leaf, before we get to the questions I have for you, I wanted to ask if you could give us a quick history of how you came to study the brain and how did you come to believe that if “we direct our mind, we can change our brain.” How did you set out to prove those 2 professors wrong who told you this concept was ridiculous? My Thoughts: I first heard about the importance of studying the mind with Bob Proctor, who I worked for through his seminars for 6 years. I learned about the mind, the importance of positive thinking, and how we could change our conditions, circumstances, environment and results with the power of our thoughts. Schools/educators were not ready for this, so when I began working with schools, I had to change the word “mind” to “brain” to make what I was saying science based. Like you, I believe that with the right strategy, we can learn anything. PART 1 of the BOOK “The Why and the How” Q1: When we release this podcast episode, it will be the day before you NEW book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: 5 Simple Scientifically Proven Steps to Reduce Anxiety, Stress and Toxic Thinking comes out. This book takes the research you have done over the past 38 years and teaches us exactly how we can make the most of our mind and brain, taking us to new heights. Can you explain what our mind is, and what happens to it if we don’t keep our thoughts clean? What is the interconnected mind? What’s the difference between the mind and  brain? Can we measure or see what “mind” is? My Thoughts: On episode 23[vi], we take a close look at “Understanding the Difference Between the Mind and the Brain” with Dr. Daniel Siegel’s definition of the mind and brain. It’s a topic I’ve been interested in learning more about since learning of the importance of positive thinking from Bob Proctor in the late 1990s.  I know that our thoughts control our conditions, circumstances, environment and results. I just never had the science to prove it, other than one person I met, Dr. Joesph Guan (Clinical Director at the Brain Enhancement Center in Singapore) who studied with Dr. Bruce Lipton[vii] said he saw machines (called SQUID machines) that could measure a positive and/or negative thought and prove how negative thinking caused poor results. Q2: I know I heard you mention on your podcast with Dr. Amen that if we are anxious while eating, that our pancreas will not secrete the peptides needed to digest our food, just like the importance of our thinking on our telomeres/aging. What happens when we don’t use our minds correctly and have doubts and worries occupying our mind, like most of us do on a daily basis? Q3: Listeners of this podcast all know of the importance of self-regulation with regards to our results, but these days, we seem to get hit with something new every week that makes positive thinking really difficult. Can you explain what your research suggests to be the best way to manage our minds during stressful times? PART 2 of the Book, The Practical Application of the Neurocycle Q4: I heard you speaking about this concept of using your brain to change negative thinking a few times before I really understood it. I heard it first on the Brain Warrior Way Podcast, then again on Ed Mylett’s podcast, and you went into detail about this strategy during our session on Wellness Week and I was furiously writing notes to understand this concept.  I will link all of these episodes in the show notes for people to find, so you don’t have to go into detail, but can you explain the metaphor that you use of how our worries are like branches on  a tree, with the goal of identifying FIRST what we are worrying about, pick one worry to fix, get a new perspective of this worry, and then actually get to the root cause or origin of our worry to eliminate it? My thoughts: I downloaded the SWITCH app after watching the Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast again and have just started to work on one thing I worry about.  After just one day, I am learning so much about why I think I worry about this one thing, and even just thinking/analyzing it, has helped. (Name it to tame it idea). Q5: It seems that every day we have a new challenge to overcome and many of us our experiencing some sort of anxiety that can lead to depression which is completely normal. How can we use neurocycling to build mental toughness, resiliency, or even emotional toughness to overcome how difficult times are these days? Q6: How can we use these 5 steps to break bad habits and build good lifestyle habits? Q7: How can we use these steps to detox from trauma or memories that we habitually play over in our minds—those Automatic Negative Thoughts? Thank you very much Dr. Leaf for the years of research you have done in this field, for the books and resources you have created, and your Switch app where anyone can go and begin to immediately implement these ideas. For people who want to learn more about your work, is the best place https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.com/  If someone wants to purchase your book, out March 2nd 2021, I will put the links in the show notes.  Also, you have an incredible podcast, Cleaning Up the Mental Mess[viii] where you go into detail on using the neurocycle in specific areas of your life (most recently for reclaiming the loss of self and your identity). Other than the NEW book, your APP, website and podcast, have I missed anything that people should see? Thank you!

The Cherokee Nation has commented on the record several times since Jeep started using the name in North America in 2013 after a 12-year hiatus, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, told Car and Driver. Jeep has been building cars that wear the Cherokee Nation's name for more than 45 years. According to Houston Police -A woman and a girl died and two other people were hospitalized Monday in Houston TX because of carbon monoxide poisoning. It looked as if they left a car running in the garage to help warm the house, which had no power, police said.Good to Know Check tire pressure weekly. Driving on underinflated tires can cause them to wear down prematurely and lose traction on icy or slippery surfaces. Your tires lose a pound of pressure with every 10-degree drop in temperature.Keep your fuel tank half full. During winter weather, it's a good idea to keep at least half a tank of fuel in the vehicle in the event of an emergency or if you get stuck in the snow and need to wait for rescue. For longer road trips, plan stops for gas in advance.Add a protective layer. A coat of polymer wax can create a barrier against road salt, grime, snow, sleet and more. Couple that with high-pressure car washes after winter storms to rinse away buildup in hard-to-reach areas such as wheels, wheel wells and underbody.Protect your windshield wipers. If you park outdoors, leave the wipers in the raised position to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. Never use your wiper blades to remove ice, snow or frost from the windshield; use an ice scraper instead. PrepareNavigate through whatever Old Man Winter throws at you by making yourself a car kit with some essentials.Clothing. Make sure you have extra warm clothing in your car: hats, gloves, scarves, hand and foot warmers, thick socks and a blanket.Stay connected. Add a flashlight with extra batteries to your kit. You might also consider flares or a whistle, and an extra phone charger.Stay healthy. Grab some bottled water and other snacks. Make sure you have any medications you might need, along with a first-aid kit.Other necessities. Jumper cables are a good addition to your kit. A small camping shovel and extra ice scraper can also be lifesavers in snowy conditions.Tips for Driving in the SnowStay home. Only go out if necessary. Even if you can drive well in bad weather, it’s better to avoid taking unnecessary risks by venturing out.Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage.Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface, such as on ice and snow.Drive slowly. Always adjust your speed down to account for lower traction when driving on snow or ice.Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Apply the gas slowly to regain traction and avoid skids. Don’t try to get moving in a hurry and take time to slow down for a stoplight. Remember: It takes longer to slow down on icy roads.Increase your following distance to five to six seconds. This increased margin of safety will provide the longer distance needed if you have to stop.Know your brakes. Whether you have antilock brakes or not, keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.Don’t stop if you can avoid it. There’s a big difference in the amount of inertia it takes to start moving from a full stop versus how much it takes to get moving while still rolling. If you can slow down enough to keep rolling until a traffic light changes, do it.Don’t power up hills. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads will just make your wheels spin. Try to get a little inertia going before you reach the hill and let that inertia carry you to the top. As you reach the crest of the hill, reduce your speed and proceed downhill slowly.Don’t stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road. Get some inertia going on a flat roadway before you take on the hill.Tips for Long-Distance Winter TripsBe Prepared: Have your vehicle checked by a AAA Approved Auto Repair facility before hitting the road.Check the Weather: Check the weather along your route and when possible, delay your trip if bad weather is expected.Stay Connected: Before hitting the road, notify others and let them know your route, destination and estimated time of arrival.If you get stuck in the snow:Stay with your vehicle: Your vehicle provides temporary shelter and makes it easier for rescuers to locate you. Do not try to walk in a severe storm. It is easy to lose sight of your vehicle in blowing snow and become lost.Don’t over exert yourself: When digging out your vehicle, listen to your body and stop if you become tired.Be Visible: Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna of your vehicle or place a cloth at the top of a rolled up window to signal distress. At night, keep the dome light on if possible. It only uses a small amount of electricity and will make it easier for rescuers to find you.Clear the Exhaust Pipe: Make sure the exhaust pipe is not clogged with snow, ice or mud. A blocked exhaust pipe can cause deadly carbon monoxide gas to leak into the passenger compartment of the vehicle while the engine is running.Stay Warm: Use whatever is available to insulate your body from the cold. This could include floor mats, newspapers or paper maps. Pre-pack blankets and heavy clothing to use in case of an emergency.Conserve Fuel: If possible, only run the engine and heater long enough to remove the chill. This will help to conserve fuel.Calls:struts popwipers up & stuff the trunk tipscardboard sign tipgas vehicles discussionstruts continuescoil packs, fuel injection, fuel rail, compression checksPrius battery discussionroad noisemore battery talk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注前几天，我在无意间看到兔子的办公桌上放着一把林肯的车钥匙，自从上次帕美GTS的事情之后，我就立马断定这车肯定不是他的，但是我就很好奇，这又是谁的车给他开了？难道又是发小的车？于是我就问他，你是又有个发小买林肯了？兔子看了我一眼，说不是发小买的，而是他爸的朋友新买了一台飞行家，两个父辈的人在一起吹牛，难免要聊聊新买的车，对方表示想做个车辆的整备，主要就是脚垫、玻璃膜、内饰透明膜、透明车衣之类的，兔子的爸爸一听，就说自己儿子有相关的资源，价格方面不用操心，于是回来就跟兔子说，让他帮忙弄一下，兔子想着父辈的关系，就答应了下来，所以今天就把车子开来，然后等下班就送到朋友的美容店去。我问兔子，这车是哪个版本的，兔子跟我说，是个四驱尊享版……我就很纳闷，因为实际上除了高高在上的行政版（68.98万）和总统版（75.98万）之外，剩下的三款车型中，四驱尊雅版是卖的比较好的，因为大多数买林肯的客户，他们对于配置要求远高于价格，说白了就是根本不差钱，就图个自我愉悦，但是这不代表高高在上的行政版和总统版卖的不好，要知道直到现在为止，行政版和总统版在有些地方依旧是“一车难求”。而54.98万的尊享版和59.98万的尊雅版，这两台车虽然价格差了5万块钱，但是多出的5万块钱能换来一套20寸轮毂、并线辅助、倒车车侧预警、可变悬架、手机无线充电、后排座椅通风加热、后排控制多媒体、Revel14喇叭音响系统、感应雨刷……这些都是能够保证车辆豪华度和舒适度的配置。我就很疑惑，为什么他去买了个尊享版？兔子说，他也问过他爸的朋友，人家的回答很耿直：用不上，感觉也不需要。兔子还跟我说，你别看是个尊享版，那配置已经很高啦！我嘲笑他是野马开多了，稍微给点配置就觉得香喷喷……聊了一会儿，我问他，这车现在行情怎么样，你爸爸的朋友大概花了多少钱？兔子说他自己都很惊讶，因为这车到现在都没啥优惠，基本上就是原价提车，他爸的朋友虽然没有加装潢，但是等了挺久。说实在的，我已经很久没有关注过林肯的市场了，怎么林肯一下子变的这么好卖了？而且价格还这么硬气，难道是要像雷克萨斯看齐？为此我还特地查了下，发现林肯在2020年一共卖了61761台车，我的天呐，这可是林肯啊，而且飞行家这车起售价就达到了50.98万，也就是说一个最低配的两驱版本，落地都要57万左右……所以，今天我们就来好好聊聊这台国产林肯飞行家。飞行家的亮点和槽点在开始聊飞行家之前，我一直想吐槽一个点，就是之前林肯的车辆命名，总让我觉得有种“错乱感”，比如之前的MKC、MKX、MKT都是SUV车型，但是MKZ和MKS又是两台轿车，就算按官方培训资料里的说法，“MK”是为了向他们的传奇车型MARK来致敬，但是不熟悉林肯的人，经常会对这些字母摸不着头脑，以至于我之前经常碰到类似这样的情况：A：你买了林肯的什么车？B：我买的MKZ。A：哦，是不是他们家那个SUV？B：不是，那个是MKC。A：……（脑袋发蒙）现在，林肯换了个命名方式，不用以前MK啥啥啥的，就给你来个中文名：冒险家、航海家、飞行家……相比于原来的MK后面跟个字母，现在的名字至少让很多人都清楚，林肯叫“XX家”的都是SUV车型。冒险家航海家飞行家领航员那么，林肯飞行家在目前林肯的SUV体系里是怎样的一个定位，依照现有的车型来看，它的等级仅次于百万级的林肯领航员，之前在2019年11月的时候纯进口版上市，那时候两款车型分别定价62.88万和68.88万，结果卖了没多久，到了2020年7月的时候，国产版就正式上市，进口版的飞行家也就逐渐暗淡了下来，反倒是国产版本的飞行家逐渐走进消费者的视野，毕竟对于一台搭载3.0T双涡轮增压发动机、车长超过5米的中大型豪华品牌SUV而言，50.98万的起售价就已经是最好的广告。关于飞行家这台车的豪华之处，我相信很多去看过车的朋友已经有所体会，但是我更关注的并不是它的内饰、空间或者品牌，而是那颗3.0T-V6双涡轮增压发动机，以及那套10R80变速箱。毕竟这是一台林肯，所以这台车做的也很“林肯”，该有的豪华配置一个不少，该有的内饰外观也都是一应俱全，所以不用去怀疑林肯在豪华车领域的积淀，至少在美式豪华的领域里，林肯是有发言权的。我们先聊一聊这个发动机，这颗3.0T-V6发动机其实本源是那颗福特2.7T-V6双涡轮增压发动机，我们可以简单理解成是一个强化升级扩缸的版本，而福特2.7T-V6发动机作为沃德十佳发动机，其本身325匹HP的动力输出和10.3：1的压缩比，让这款发动机的数据傲视群雄，国内的福特锐界EcoBoost-330版本用的就是这台机子。而林肯作为福特集团的高端品牌，这两颗发动机在保持架构一致的基础上，林肯针对这颗3.0T发动机进行了许多地方的改进，比如使用了紧密石墨铸铁材质的中缸+集成排气铝合金缸盖，从而在需要强度的地方进行强度上的增加，在不需要强度补足的地方进行减重，还有更耐高温的涡轮，并且针对、正时皮带部件、活塞和曲轴等部位都进行强化，同时工程师还给这颗发动机增加了额外的隔音降噪措施，比如复合材料制作的油底壳、凸轮轴罩和进气歧管，对横向外壳也做了很多修正……这些都是林肯针对这颗3.0T发动机做出的改进，用厂家工程师的话说，就是“这颗发动机能够让你在驾驶时，获得闲庭信步般的，不会吵到让人觉得过分的高性能表现”。说的简单一点，就是林肯这颗3.0T发动机本身底子就很牛X，并且通过工程师的调教让它变的更牛X，而且更符合豪华车的要求。说完了发动机，我们再聊聊变速箱，我相信很多朋友对于这个10R80的10AT变速箱已经很熟悉了，因为福特和林肯都在用，并且这个10R80变速箱本身就是福特制造，关于这个变速箱的由来，其实有个小故事，我们都知道AT变速箱一直是对整车厂极其重要的一部分，很多车厂其实都没有能力去自己做AT变速箱，主要原因是开发费用非常高、难度非常大，而福特虽然财大气粗，但是过日子终究是能省则省，于是福特想到了之前和自己一起做横置6AT变速箱的通用，鉴于先前的良好合作，两家车厂都撸起袖子加油干，开始了变速箱的研发，而且分工明确，通用主要负责9AT横置变速箱，福特主要负责10AT纵置变速箱，最后通用和福特两家共享研发成果，而我们之前聊过的换装10AT变速箱的凯迪拉克CT6，用的就是这个10R80变速箱。关于这个10R80具体的优势点和技术参数，我们今天不展开说了，毕竟什么“10AT三离合换挡执行机构”、“变速箱电液控制阀体”等等细节部件，再怎么去说也极其枯燥，综合来说一句话，这个10AT变速箱最大的优势点，就是能够提供更精确细密的齿比分布，从而找到一个完美符合发动机工况的挡位，并且换挡速度足够快（福特官方表示换挡速度堪比PDK），同时还可以适配插电式混合动力车型，所以为什么我们看到普通燃油版的飞行家在用这个变速箱，然后新能源版本的飞行家也在用这个变速箱。但是，林肯飞行家并不是说没有缺点，其本身的发动机和变速箱是优势，这一点毋庸置疑，可是有几个小问题，尤其是细节上的小问题，是我忍不住想吐槽的，而这也是林肯为什么一直没办法真正的去和BBA掰手腕的原因，说到底都是细节上的不足，但是这就跟我之前视频里说的凯迪拉克CT6那样，本来是一台很好的车，但是就是因为各种细节上的不足，导致让很多人失去了兴趣。第一，发动机声浪导入系统。目前就我已知的情况来看，这个模拟声浪是无法关闭的，能不能关掉暂且不提，关键是模拟出来的声音让我有一种“廉价感”，丝毫没有那种六缸机的厚重，各位去试驾的时候可以留意一下。第二，车机。由于采用了和国外不同的车机（海外是SYNC-3，国内是SYNC+），所以国产飞行家没有CARPLAY，这一点其实对于苹果手机用户挺不友好的，究其原因是因为国产版的车机系统，是长安福特和百度联合开发的……你们懂的，并且内置的网络SIM卡（运营商是中国联通）流量很贵，还不能换卡。第三，车道保持功能开启的时候，要很用力的抓住方向盘，而且在下雨天的时候由于路面反光，容易造成无法识别的情况。第四，车辆前排和二排竟然没有点烟器插口，只有220V电源口和USB插口，这可是一个豪华车啊，假如我需要后期加装行车记录仪，或者是USB充电器、车载吸尘器、轮胎充气泵……没有点烟器插口就会带来不便。第五，有人反映这台车出现车机花屏死机的情况，还有其他车主遇到了别的小问题。飞行家的对手们飞行家的竞争对手都有谁？我首先想到的是BBA的中大型SUV，也就是奔驰GLE、宝马X和奥迪Q7，而飞行家的长宽高分别是5080*2022*1759，轴距3025，块头比这三台BBA都要大。但是，首先在价位上，这几台车和飞行家就已经不在一个级别了，尤其是GLE和X5，GLE的SUV版本指导价69.98-88.98万，而且目前全系几乎没什么优惠，坚挺地平价销售；X5指导价69.99-86.39万，2.0T优惠最高也就小几万，3.0T没有优惠而且一车难求。如果你的预算与飞行家的高配相当，那么也只能买到GLE和X5的低配，也就是2.0T车型，如果你的预算足够上到飞行家的顶配，裸车75万左右，那么就可以摸到GLE和X5 3.0T车型的门槛。至于Q7，指导价68.88-83.88万，价位略低一点，优惠大了不少，大几万是有的，但仍然有着最低60几万的入手门槛，总体上还是比飞行家贵一些。而从产品角度，GLE的SUV版本有5座和7座可选，而X5只有5座，想要7座就只能咬牙去买X7，只有Q7是全系7座，如果有7座刚需，首先就得排除X5，如果特别在意后排的乘坐体验，那么这三款车可能都不是最好的选择，因为只有飞行家才有2-2-2的6座。所以严格来说，飞行家与BBA的中大型SUV还是有些区别的，不仅体现在价位上，同时还体现在产品上，但实际这几台车之间的交集还挺多，我认识的好几个飞行家车主，在购车时几乎都考虑过GLE、X5或者Q7，而最后之所以选择了飞行家，主要原因是BBA的价格实在太挺了。所以，飞行家从价格上来说，他都不想或者说没有办法和BBA正面硬刚的，而我认为飞行家最直接的竞争对手应该是沃尔沃XC90，别看XC90的官方指导价高达63.89万~77.99万，只要你进店看车找个销售问问，开口就是十来万的优惠，优惠完也就和飞行家的价格区间差不多了。飞行家和XC90怎么选？首先飞行家主打2-2-2的6座，但是可选7座，XC90主打2-3-2的7座，没有6座且只有最低配是5座。从这里就可以依据自己对座椅布局以及乘坐舒适性，做一个初步筛选了。其次，飞行家的内饰我觉得更加讨喜一点，尤其对于中年人来说，年轻人不喜欢的“老气”，在中年人眼里就是成熟稳重，并不是说XC90做得不好，但是那种北欧的冷淡风格，缺了一丝豪华感和温暖感，并不是所有人都喜欢的。飞行家6座飞行家7座配置方面，飞行家在舒适性配置方面要略高一筹，比如全系标配的多层玻璃和主动降噪，从次低配尊享版开始配备方向盘加热、方向盘电动调节和前排座椅通风，以及从中配尊雅版开始配备的后排座椅加热和通风，次顶配行政版和顶配总统版还有前排座椅按摩和电吸门……这些东西在XC90上面，要么是选配，要么就没有，比如方向盘加热和后排座椅加热是全系需要选配，前排座椅通风要到顶配智雅豪华版才有，前排座椅按摩和电吸门则是想都不要想，就两个字“没有”。但XC90也有自己独到的地方，比如安全配置，尤其是主动安全配置，全系标配自适应巡航还是挺厉害的，此外像什么主动刹车、车道保持、车道偏离预警、驾驶疲劳提示也是标配。当然飞行家也不差，从次低配尊享版开始也陆续补齐了，总体上飞行家的配置是非常高的，当然这也是美系车的特点，只要钱到位，给你弄满配，甭管有用、没用、想不想用、会不会用……都给你安排上，要的就是一个排面。动力方面，飞行家全系3.0T V6双涡轮+10AT（355HP、553Nm），除了入门版是个后驱车型外，其他都是适时四驱；XC90分2.0T单增压的B5车型（250HP/350Nm），和2.0T机械涡轮双增压的B6车型（300HP/400Nm），匹配的都是8AT变速箱，全系都有48V轻混系统和全时四驱系统。其实我们很难从三大件上评判这两车谁好谁坏，飞行家是粗犷的美式风格，排量要大，马力要大，扭矩要大……反正什么都要大，同时，飞行家也是50-60万价位里极少数可以买到搭载3.0T机头的中大型SUV，对于追求“动力存款”的人来说，还是相当有杀伤力的，毕竟动力就像存款，我可以不用，但是不能没有；相比之下，XC90的2.0T就显得更加“务实”一点，当然机械+涡轮的双增压方式放在今天显得非常另类，我印象中除了沃尔沃市面上也没有什么在售车型采用这种形式，动力比主流高功率2.0T高出很多，同时油耗比起飞行家的3.0T也要少小几个油，当然2.0T单增压的B5车型还是差了点意思，我是属于追求驾驶的人，我不追求特别亮眼的动力数据，但是大排量、多缸数带来的平顺性、从容感在小排量上是难以实现的，这种大车开起来就要有底气一些，所以，在这方面我会更加偏向飞行家一些。除了XC90之外，我们再来说说凯迪拉克的XT6，官方指导价38.97万~54.97万，我们本地的优惠幅度已经达到了7万多，勉强可以算是落地40万的车吧，有意思的是，在他们的美国老家，凯迪拉克XT6不仅定位和飞行家差不多，而且价格也差不多，只不过美国的XT6是3.6L自吸发动机，到了国内被换成了2.0T，再加上凯迪拉克在国内的价格一直都走的是“亲民路线”（其实凯迪拉克心里也苦），两车差价一下就被拉开了。所以，如果是对于价格比较敏感，同时又想有一个还算不错的品牌，那么凯迪拉克XT6从性价比上来看，肯定是强于飞行家的，不仅有6座/7座可选，而且有前驱也有四驱……但是，凯迪拉克现在的车都面临几个问题，首先就是我之前在视频里说的内饰问题，凯迪拉克现在不管是CT6还是XT6，这两台车的内饰真的太难跟“豪华”沾边了，再一个就是品牌力的问题，如果说一个豪华品牌的形象和给人的印象变成了“打骨折”和“性价比”，那这个所谓的“豪华”更多的还是厂家在宣传时的一厢情愿，当然，我还是希望凯迪拉克能坚持这个路数，毕竟这样我们消费者就能用一个合理的价格去买到合适的车，而不是捧着几十万却换回来一个1.33T的发动机。当然，现在XT6和飞行家在国内的价格差距确实很大，所以买XT6的一般不会去看飞行家，买飞行家的也不会去看XT6……而各位听到这里其实也明白，一台飞行家真正的价格应该是多少了吧？写在最后最后，借着这个机会也和各位聊一聊现在林肯国产化之后的布局。我们能很清楚的看到，目前林肯旗下的轿车线就感觉不是自己亲生的一样，在当年林肯大陆带着辉煌面世之后，轿车线就一天不如一天，也不知道是林肯心太大，还是已经放弃轿车线，反正林肯现在确实是在SUV车型上开始发力，先是在疫情刚刚稳定的2020年3月，就立马火速发布国产冒险家，接着在2020年7月发布国产飞行家，现在2021年1月18号又开始了全新的航海家预售，这也是一台介于紧凑型SUV冒险家和中大型SUV飞行家之间的一款中型SUV，预售的最低价定得并不高，只要33.08万，但是顶配48.58万的车型，使得同款车型之间的价格差距非常大，究其原因是因为有2.0T和2.7T两个版本。全新航海家现在航海家开启预售，林肯的海陆空就齐全了（冒险家代表“陆”，航海家代表“海”，飞行家代表“空”），再加上全尺寸SUV领航员作为精神象征，领导着海陆空三军一起攻打中国的豪华SUV市场……嗯，我只能说拭目以待。对于林肯来说，现在SUV系列的三剑客已经布局完成，马上会不会再去发力轿车线，我觉得是个未知数，不过对于我这种没有什么品牌追求的人来说，林肯给我的感觉一直就是精装修版的福特，而且扒开林肯的底裤，确实也就是精装修版的福特，冒险家就是精装修版锐际，航海家就是精装修版锐界（取消了7座），飞行家就是精装修版探险者（换成了3.0T发动机）。所以，我一直很不明白买林肯的意义在哪里，同样是美系豪华品牌，优惠又不像凯迪拉克那么大，而且林肯的车子依旧摆脱不掉美系车在细节处的各项短板，所以我只能说，选择林肯的，那都是真爱。*图片源自网络音频图文更新在订阅号：

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, episode #95 with Learning, Mood, Behavior, Author, Educator and Speaker Dr. Sandy Gluckman.You can watch the interview on YouTube here. Dr. Sandy Gluckman describes her quest as saving the next generation from a growing explosion of learning, behavior and mood problems.  Her work is rooted in the science that shows that children will thrive when parents thrive.  Dr. Sandy empowers parents to raise healthy, resilient, confident children primed for success, by showing them how to first heal themselves. Dr Gluckman is sought after for her expertise on a range of children’s challenges such as Anxiety, Defiance, Emotional Resilience, Self-Worth, Screen Addiction, Stress as a Survival Mechanism and the Sensitive Child. Rather than offering quick-fix, superficial solutions to these complex issues, Dr Sandy uses science to teach parents how to create the kind of parent-child neurochemistry that prevents and heals these problems.Welcome Dr. Gluckman! Thank you so much for being available to speak with me today.I have to say, that when I was reading your book, Parents Take Charge[i], and saw the acknowledgements, I can see how you fit in perfectly with the content we have been focused here on this podcast, especially with our most recent jump that focuses on health and mental wellbeing. If we are not healthy physically and emotionally, how on the earth can we expect ourselves to perform at high levels, and we definitely can’t expect it of our children, right?I can see that many who have inspired your work, we have been focused on for the past year and a half on this podcast, with Dr. Dan Siegel a year ago this week, Dr. Amen with his daughter Chloe Amen’s interview[ii] on Change Your Brain, Change Your Grades, and then inspiring the brain scan content,[iii] Stephen Porges with his Polyvagal Theory[iv], and most recently with our focus on health and the brain with Dr. Mark Hymen, and his recent program, Alzheimer’s The Science of Prevention that really did inspire our health and wellness episodes.[v] Your life’s work is a perfect match for us, and I am so grateful to have this chance to speak with you.Today, our topic with you is Reversing Children’s Behavior and Mood Problems by Treating the Root Causes and before I even get to your questions, I have to put my background in context for you, since your work, and this podcast will probably make some things come full circle for me, as well for those listening who might work with or know children with behavior or mood problems.Back in the late 1990s, I was a teacher in Toronto, and I worked with behavioral students. It was my first teaching assignment right out of teacher’s college, and I had no training at all on how to deal with difficult students, and also had hardly any strategies for managing my own stress. I have had author and educational neuroscience leader, Dr. Lori Desaultels[vi] on twice to this podcast,  and her work, along with Michael McKnight, focuses on how the students’ behavior usually is a reaction to the teacher or parent’s state of mind.  I now know stress reducing strategies that help me on a daily basis, but I wish I knew them when I first started my career.Q1: Can you take me back to the beginning of your professional career, with students in their last year of high school in South Africa, and what made you begin to wonder “why did some students have a robust, healthy and feisty spirit, while others did not?”  How did this question inspire you to further your studies and obtain a PhD in clinical psychology, and dive deep into how different people respond to stress?Q2: In your book, Parents Take Charge, you introduce a new way of healing children’s learning, behavior and mood problems, with the story of an 11-year old named David, who was having some challenges with learning at school, was diagnosed with a bunch of different disorders like ADHD, OCD, and depression, and was given a ton of medicine to go with each diagnosis. Can you share how this Mom got the root of David’s problem, finding some challenges with his digestive system, and how he was put on a treatment program that included supplements his body was missing and some changes to his diet, and 9 months later his symptoms were almost gone? This is such a powerful story! For this example, David became a new child, with improved grades, and a natural leadership that emerged with his new levels of confidence.  As a parent, this is all we want for our children. To be able to go through life with ease, and be successful.Q3: Where do we begin when looking at mood problems with children, whether we are talking about the eye-rolling that I’m just starting to get with my young girls when I ask them to do something, or the flat out difficult behavior that I saw as a new teacher in the classroom? Q4: What did your experience as a teacher, psychologist and leadership coach teach you about the mental, emotional and social well-being of a student, as well as those working in the corporate world about the importance of managing our emotional states?Q5: What inspired you to learn more about the effect of stress, and how it can trigger learning, behavior and mood problems?Q6: With the impacts of the pandemic, I’m hearing so many new issues emerge with learning challenges that come from the fact that some children didn’t want to return to in school learning, and prefer home schooling, or the opposite, those who are still doing virtual learning at  home, are missing the social connection that in person school provides.Q7: What would you say to support our children in each of these situations? What about solutions for screen addiction? I saw it with my youngest daughter the most when she was doing at home learning, missing her friends, and using her devices to stay connected. Now that she has returned to school, how can we lessen her dependence on these devices?Thank you so much Dr. Gluckman for your time today, and your solutions to what many of us are going through whether it’s with our own children at home, or those in the classroom, getting to the root cause of the behavior or learning challenge.I highly recommend Dr. Gluckman’s books and online programs.  She does have an online program for raising confident, resilient children that are primed for success that you can access on her website.https://drsandygluckman.com/confident-children-program/You can follow Dr. Gluckman onIG, LinkedIn,  Facebook and Twitter @DrSandyGluckmanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/sandygluckmanAnd visit her website www.drsandygluckman.com and contact Dr. Gluckman for a 30  minute FREE session  https://drsandygluckman.com/schedule-call/ Expanded BIO: Dr. Gluckman is the founder of a private practice, Parenting That Heals, where she consults with couples, families and children.

He is an incredibly bright and generous  individual and a well-rounded professional who speaks with me about how  he became the master of the art of speaking, the power of deep human  connections, relationships, networking, and his current quest to  reinvent himself in a virtual and distracted world (you can listen to  the full audio version of the @Alloutcoach Podcast episode available on  all podcast platforms - link to the episode: http://www.anchor.fm/alloutcoach).     Life requires different versions of you and different parts of your  character at different the different stages of life. When you form a  family, become a parent, or have a stable, long-term relationship for  the first time, when you are promoted to new responsibilities, or  experience a job or a different loss in life or a failure, life teaches  you to reinvent yourself. And it is always other people with whom you  form deep and meaningful connections and relationships over time that  help you rise up in the ranks, endure difficult times, and transform  your career or personality whether before or after the pandemic. Thom  reveals his own transformation throughout life, his endless curiosity,  and evident bright personality and intellect which has allowed him to  win multiple speaking awards, write books, host conferences, coach  presentation skills and speech-writing, lead marketing and business  development functions in the corporate environment, just to name a few.  He has had celebrity keynote speakers as personal mentors across many  industries and shares illustrious stories about the richness of his life  and experiences, and shares tips on agility and leadership by  reinventing yourself in a distracted and lonely world in which we have  all become so accustomed to live. Timeline of the Podcast   00:56 - Q1: How did you make waves in the beginning?   02:39 - Q2: What role did mentors play in your rise in the ranks? 06:09 - Q3: How did you pivot to become a speaker? 07:54 - Q4: Did you have separate coaches for different skills/talents? 09:48 - Q5: How did you land your first TEDx gig? 11:47 - Q6: How do you find the source of energy when you present? 12:57 - Q7: What role has sports played in your life? 14:31 - Story about Legacy in a Corporate Company Culture Initiative 15:25 - Q8: How do you stretch yourself and pivot during COVID19? 20:44 - Q9: Are coaches important to next generation leaders due to loneliness, distraction, and specialization? 23:18 - Q10: How has marketing transformed as a function over the years based on his experience? 26:34 - Power of Personal Referrals and Human Connections vs. Social Media Likes and # of Followers 36:54 - Q11: What were the characteristics of his most memorable presentations?  39:26 - Q12: Best advice to next generation leaders to make their presentations more memorable? 41:52 - Recognition of other master keynote speakers with an impact on Thom's life --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alloutcoach/support

We have a great lineup of questions this week. We cover topics ranging from lean mass changes in fasting; how glycogen, the storage form of carbohydrates, works in the body; various nuances and applications of the ketogenic diet for hypertrophy, and long-term longitudinal use; and target blood glucose fluctuations after a meal! Free Fatty Friday (FFF) is a rapid-fire Q and A session with Geoffrey Woo, where he answers all your questions with a 5-minute cap on all answers. Feel free to send your questions here: podcast@hvmn.com Q1: 02:49 Very nice critique of the IF study. Any comments on the Lean Mass changes? Does it really make any sense? Q2: 11:01 I have been wondering about carbs in liver. It is in the form of glycogen. Do we have digestive enzymes that can let us even access this? Is it available as a nutrient? When is a carb not a carb? When you can't use it. Q3: 17:21 What causes insulin resistance? Why would the body resist something that is useful and why do some have no resistance and others do? I know the answer seems to be genetics and poor health but what is the mechanistic aspect of the resistance? Q4: 22:25 For a ketone ester, are they the same ketones our body produces naturally or what? What happens if you chug the whole bottle? Q5: 28:59 What's your view with alternate day fasting and hypertrophy training on feeding days? Q6: 34:45 How much should blood glucose fluctuate after a meal? Q7: 38:45 Can keto help build muscle? Is keto diet recommended for longterm use? Twitter: @geoffreywoo Email: podcast@hvmn.com Sign up for the latest FFF-specific updates here: geoffreywoo.com/signup Join the Official H.V.M.N.

ACT oulines calculator rules on their site actstudent.org. The rules have changed a lot over the last two decades. Below are the links and explanations from their website as of July 15, 2020. http://www.act.org/content/dam/act/unsecured/documents/ACT-calculator-policy.pdf https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/help.html You can call 800.498.6481 for a recorded message containing highlights from this policy. Can I use a calculator? The ACT calculator policy is designed to ensure fairness for all examinees, avoid disturbances in the testing room, and protect the security of the test materials. For more information view the latest Calculator Policy (PDF). Please visit our FAQ for Computer Algebra System (CAS) Functionality for more information. Frequently Asked Questions - Computer Algebra System (CAS) Functionality Note: These FAQs may be updated from time to time. Q1: How does the policy apply to calculators that cannot hold programs and documents? A: Not all calculators have the capability to hold programs and documents. If the calculator you bring to take the ACT Mathematics Test cannot hold programs and documents, then these clarifications do not affect you. Q2: What is computer algebra system (CAS) functionality? A: A computer algebra system typically solves equations algebraically, simplifies expressions, performs algebraic manipulations, and performs exact arithmetic (for example, does not round or truncate decimal places). A computer algebra system is also a system, potentially doing many levels of analysis at the same time. Examples include, but are not limited to, Zoom-Math, APP4MATH, F2K, etc. Q3: Why can't I use a computer algebra system on the ACT Mathematics test? A: A computer algebra system has a valid place in mathematics, and learning how to use the tool effectively is valuable. The ACT Mathematics Test does not assess this skill. Being college and career ready in mathematics requires that a student be able to analyze algebraic expressions and equations, knowing what to do in order to solve problems. Q4: My calculator holds apps as well as programs. Are apps allowed? A: Apps that have CAS functionality must be removed as well. Even though your calculator may have separate buttons or places to store apps versus programs, an app is a kind of program. For the purposes of this policy, the definition of “program” includes apps. Any time the word “program” is used, it should be interpreted to include apps as well. Q5: Do ALL programs have to be removed? What about documents? A: Only programs that have CAS functionality must be removed. All documents, however, must be removed regardless of their purpose or function. Q6: Can you tell me if a specific program or app is allowed? A: Given the proliferation of math resources/tools, ACT is not fully familiar with all mathematics programs and apps that are available for use on a calculator. If you are unsure whether a program or app is prohibited, our recommendation is to not install it or remove it before test day. Q7: Is it OK to disable programs instead of removing them? A: ACT's calculator policy calls for the programs to be removed. Disabling programs – for example, putting the calculator in Press to Test mode – is not enough. Q8: If I have to remove programs from my calculator, how do I get them back on it after I test? A: Many calculators have a way of restoring programs if they have been saved outside the calculator. If you have programs that you need to remove and you do not know how to save and restore, we recommend you check with your calculator company for details well in advance of test day. Q9: What kinds of mathematics-related programs ARE allowed? A: The kinds of mathematics-related programs permitted for the ACT allow students to use the calculator capabilities to do the routine calculations yet require students to show their analysis skills by choosing the right operations and process. Mathematics-related programs are allowed if they are single-purpose – for example, finding numeric solutions to a quadratic equation. A student must choose the right program for the right purpose. This is much the same as choosing the right formula for the right purpose. Q10: Are there any rules that allowed mathematics-related programs must follow? A: Programs must be written in the language of the calculator. Programs written in a different language, compiled, and loaded onto the calculator are not allowed. In this way, the programs can be examined on the calculator and will use calculator functions. Programs must not be lengthy. The limit is 25 logical lines of code. Programs cannot call another program. Techniques such as compressing code into a data statement are not allowed as a way of getting around this limit. Programs are allowed to change the value of system variables so that results may, for example, be graphed through the normal calculator graphing interface.

Q1:What is next for Freedomain now that you have been deplatformed?Q2: 0:02who called it better, George Orwell or Ayn Rand, and why?Q3: 0:37What are Stef's thoughts on an ancap society forming online as crypto currency and work/school from home are becoming more popular?Follow-on: Does Stef think 'the powers the be' (Government, bankers, etc) would stop something like this? Would they let people 'out of the system?'Q4: 0:56What are Stef’s thoughts on Carl Rogers? Was Rogers influential in anyway to him?Q5: 1:16 or soWhat advice do you have for staying sane in these crazy times? Your comments on the “start stop” of the economy and society wearing down on people prompted this question. I definitely feel that weariness and disorientation and was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to relieve those feelings, what kinds of relationships and activities would be good to try since COVID-fied society isn’t really avoidable.Q6: 1:33 or soThe other day I logged on to a social media site for the first time in close to a decade. I noticed very quickly that many people I grew up with were rabidly posting leftist propaganda. I then looked through over a hundred profiles of people I've known over the years. It was the same. This is particularly startling because I live in a low population region in the western US. Is the time for talk over? Is the end of western civilization near? Should I be fleeing to Poland or something? I do not wish for my kids to experience war.Q7: 1:47I recall how Stef mentioned he was scared of a Great Dane as a kid from the last call in. What made him like dogs again and what's his favorite breed/mix?▶️ Donate Now: www.freedomain.com/donate▶️ Sign Up For Our Newsletter: www.fdrurl.com/newsletterYour support is essential to Freedomain, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
