In this conversation, Roy Baumeister dives into the intricate relationship between psychology, meaning, self-control, and identity. He reflects on his journey into psychology, the evolution of identity in modern society, and the impact of societal changes on self-discovery. The discussion also explores the significance of willpower, the dynamics of parenting, and the role of self-control in relationships. Baumeister emphasizes the importance of understanding ego depletion and decision-making, while also considering how self-control evolves with age and societal expectations.Chapters00:00 Exploring the Quest for Meaning02:52 The Evolution of Identity and Self-Discovery06:04 The Impact of Societal Changes on Identity Formation08:53 The Role of Willpower and Self-Control11:55 Understanding Self-Control and Its Implications14:51 The Interplay of Personality and Self-Control18:09 Parenting and the Development of Self-Control20:48 The Dynamics of Punishment and Reward in Learning24:08 The Importance of Self-Control in Relationships26:51 Ego Depletion and Decision-Making30:05 The Future of Self-Control and Aging33:05 More Thoughts on Self-Control and SocietyGrab your copy of The Time is Now and start your journey toward living a more intentional and fulfilling life - https://a.co/d/aDYCQ9oJoin this channel to get access to exclusive perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl67XqJVdVtBqiCWahS776g/join// Connect With Me //ORDER MY BOOK, THE TIME IS NOW: A GUIDE TO HONOR YOUR TIME ON EARTH: https://www.timeisnowbook.comWebsite: https://throughconversations.comSubstack - https://throughconversations.substack.comYouTube community -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl67XqJVdVtBqiCWahS776g/join// Social //X: https://x.com/ThruConvPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thruconvpodcast/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl67XqJVdVtBqiCWahS776g
Ever catch yourself being abrupt, impatient, or snapping at someone and think… “Where did that come from?” Most high-performing leaders assume it's a personality flaw or a moment of poor control. But the truth is far more empowering. In this episode of the Empowered Team Podcast, Kari Schneider reveals the three hidden physiological and psychological triggers that quietly drive impatience, irritability, and reactive behavior — especially in high performers who care deeply about showing up at their best. Drawing from her experience working with Olympic and national-level athletes, Kari explains why these reactions are rarely about the other person—and almost always about what's happening inside your brain, body, and nervous system. If you've ever felt frustrated by your own reactions, this conversation will give you a new lens to understand what's really going on. In this episode, you'll discover: Why one night of poor sleep can increase emotional reactivity by 60% The surprising way decision fatigue drains your patience How high performers unknowingly live in the “resistance stage” of chronic stress Why snapping at others is often a biological signal—not a character flaw How elite athletes structure recovery—and what leaders can learn from it Key Takeaway Your impatience isn't a personality problem. It's a performance signal telling you something in your system needs attention. When you learn to read that signal, you can start showing up with more clarity, patience, and leadership presence—at work and at home.

Ever found yourself unable to make the simplest decision or making impulsive choices you later regret at the end of a long day? You're not lazy—you're depleted. Understanding ADHD strengths and struggles means recognizing that our executive function ADHD capacity is finite—and knowing how to manage it strategically.This episode of ADHD-ish dives into the science and lived reality of ego depletion—the phenomenon where self-control and decision-making get harder the more you use them—and why it hits brains with ADHD so much harder than most people realize.What is Ego Depletion? Ego depletion is the idea that self-control is a limited resource—every tough decision, every time you push through discomfort, you draw down the tank a bit more. And for those of us with ADHD, that tank starts out smaller and empties faster.ADHD brains work harder to stay focused, resist distractions, and mask our real struggles behind a “put-together” exterior. All of that is invisible work—work that drains our resources and directly impacts executive function ADHD capacity.Why Does This Matter for Entrepreneurs?If you run your own business, chances are, you're making choices all day long. Decision fatigue hits fast when your working memory is taxed, and the emotional labor, rejection sensitivity, ambiguity, and hyperfocusing can all leave you running on fumes.And when the tank runs dry? That's when the late-day impulsive emails, knee-jerk “yeses” to bad projects, and pricing compromises hit. It's not poor judgment—it's overdrawn capacity. This is one of the core ADHD strengths and struggles we navigate as entrepreneurs.About the host, Diann Wingert Diann Wingert is a business strategist, coach, serial entrepreneur, former psychotherapist, and passionate thought leader at the intersection of ADHD and entrepreneurship.Through practical neuroscience and accessible storytelling, Diann empowers others to understand their brains, manage their energy, and show compassion to themselves as they navigate the demands of running a business with an ADHD brain.Five Triggers That Drain Your BrainDecision Overload: Every “tiny” business choice eats up self-regulation energy. All those open tabs in your mind have a cost.Emotional Labor: Managing client feelings, financial uncertainties, and the constant hum of ambiguity depletes you, even if “nothing is happening.”Sustained Focus (and Hyperfocus): Even fun, project-based deep work can leave nothing left for anything else once the session's over.Masking: Trying to look “together” when you don't feel it is invisible labor, not covered in most productivity advice.Sleep and Blood Sugar: When you run low in these departments, you start the day with a deficit.Practical Strategies: Refilling the TankKnowledge is useless without practice. Here's what's working for my clients and me:Protect the Peak Window - Notice when focus comes more naturally. Schedule your highest-value and most “expensive” mental work then. Don't let admin or reactive tasks steal your best hours.Ruthless Pre-Decision - I now audit decisions weekly: What can I automate? Which choices can be made in advance? This includes everything from client policies to what I eat for breakfast. I have a breakfast rotation now that saves me about 10 minutes every morning—energy I use elsewhere.Don't Skip the Refueling - Eating on a schedule is non-negotiable. I use an alarm for lunch because, without external cues, I'll work straight through and crash later. Treat meals and breaks with the same gravity you would an important meeting.Schedule Intentional Resets - Real mental breaks matter. Laughter, small pleasures, or even a quick walk create real returns. I log two restorative breaks in my calendar daily—not as a luxury, but as mental maintenance.Prioritize Sleep as a Business Tool - Nothing refills the willpower account like rest.

Is willpower something you're born with, or something you can build? In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD breaks down the science of self-control and shares research-backed strategies to help you stop running on empty by 9 PM.You'll learn why willpower gets depleted throughout the day, and why hunger makes it even worse. Drawing on the work of Roy Baumeister (whose groundbreaking "ego depletion" research explains that late-night refrigerator raid) and Stanford health psychologist Kelly McGonigal, Dr. Oldson shares surprisingly simple "willpower workouts" you can start today; no gym required.You'll also discover why the ultimate goal isn't to have more willpower, it's to need less of it, by using it strategically upfront to build habits that eventually run on autopilot. Plus, Dr. Oldson makes the case that when you feel completely tapped out, you likely have more in reserve than you think.Thanks for listening!

Roy Baumeister is a psychologist, professor, and researcher. Are men inherently more expendable from an evolutionary standpoint—and if so, has that dynamic helped drive innovation? If risk-taking outliers are often responsible for progress, what does that say about the role men play in shaping civilization? And does this tradeoff come at the cost of higher failure, instability, and sacrifice along the way? Expect to learn why cultures flourish when they exploit men and what that actually means, why men have ended up in higher positions in society and if civilisation runs on male competition, why men are so much more likely to take physical, financial, and social risks, if risk-taking men are necessary for progress, what people do not understand about self-destructive male behaviours and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals New pricing since recording: Function is now just $365, plus get $25 off at https://functionhealth.com/modernwisdom Get up to $350 off the Pod 5 at https://eightsleep.com/modernwisdom Get 35% off your first subscription on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom Get a free bottle of D3K2, an AG1 Welcome Kit, and more when you first subscribe at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

Nous avons tendance à mieux nous souvenir des mauvaises nouvelles que des bonnes. Ce phénomène, bien documenté en neurosciences, porte un nom : le biais de négativité. Il ne relève ni du pessimisme ni d'un défaut de caractère, mais d'un fonctionnement profondément ancré dans notre cerveau.D'un point de vue évolutif, ce biais est logique. Pour un cerveau primitif, rater une bonne opportunité — de la nourriture, un partenaire — était moins grave que rater une menace. Oublier un danger pouvait être fatal. Le cerveau humain s'est donc spécialisé dans la détection, le traitement et la mémorisation prioritaire des informations négatives.Sur le plan neurobiologique, cette asymétrie repose en grande partie sur le rôle de l'amygdale, une petite structure située dans le système limbique. L'amygdale agit comme un détecteur de menace. Lorsqu'une information est perçue comme négative — peur, colère, injustice, catastrophe — elle s'active fortement et déclenche une cascade de réponses physiologiques : libération d'adrénaline et de cortisol, augmentation de l'attention, mobilisation de l'énergie.Cette activation a un effet direct sur la mémoire. L'amygdale communique étroitement avec l'hippocampe, la région clé de la mémoire épisodique. Sous l'effet du stress modéré, l'hippocampe consolide plus efficacement les souvenirs associés à l'émotion négative. Autrement dit, ce qui nous menace s'imprime plus profondément dans notre mémoire.Une étude de référence illustre ce mécanisme : en 2001, les psychologues Roy Baumeister et ses collègues publient une synthèse majeure intitulée “Bad is stronger than good” dans la revue Psychological Review. En analysant des centaines d'expériences, ils montrent que les événements négatifs ont un impact plus fort, plus durable et plus précis sur la cognition, l'attention et la mémoire que les événements positifs. Une critique négative marque davantage qu'un compliment. Une mauvaise nouvelle est mieux retenue qu'une bonne, même si les deux ont une importance objective comparable.Les neurosciences confirment aussi que les informations négatives captent davantage l'attention dès les premières millisecondes du traitement perceptif. Des études en imagerie cérébrale montrent que le cerveau consacre plus de ressources neuronales à analyser une menace potentielle qu'un stimulus neutre ou positif. Cette priorité attentionnelle augmente mécaniquement les chances de mémorisation.Ce biais a toutefois un coût. Dans nos sociétés modernes, où les menaces sont moins immédiates mais omniprésentes sous forme d'informations — crises, conflits, catastrophes —, ce mécanisme peut entretenir l'anxiété et donner une vision excessivement sombre du monde. Notre cerveau continue de fonctionner comme s'il devait survivre à tout prix.En résumé, si les mauvaises nouvelles s'ancrent mieux dans notre mémoire, ce n'est pas parce qu'elles sont plus nombreuses ou plus importantes, mais parce que notre cerveau a été façonné pour ne jamais oublier ce qui pourrait nous mettre en danger. Un héritage biologique puissant, parfois protecteur, parfois envahissant. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Sentirte ignorado en una reunión no es incómodo, es doloroso, literalmente. Tu cerebro reacciona igual que ante una herida física. Y eso cambia todo. En el primer episodio de Código Humano, exploramos una de las fuerzas más poderosas —y subestimadas— en el trabajo y en la vida: el sentido de pertenencia. Porque pertenecer no es un “nice to have”. Es una necesidad biológica que define cómo pensamos, cómo sentimos… y cómo rendimos. +Por qué el rechazo social activa las mismas zonas que el dolor físico + Qué dicen estudios como The Need to Belong de Roy Baumeister y Mark Leary + Cómo la evolución moldeó nuestra necesidad de pertenecer + Qué pasa en el cerebro cuando eres ignorado o excluido + Por qué la pertenencia es el mayor predictor de desempeño en las empresas + La diferencia real entre inclusión y pertenencia. ⚡ Descubre cómo alcanzar tu máximo potencial sin sacrificar tu bienestar en el nuevo programa MAX HUMAN, aquí te puedes inscribir: www.hackersdeltalento.com/max-human

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk to Prof. Roy Baumeister about the psychology of alcohol use and addiction. We cover topics such as why people drink, the effects of alcohol, the role of emotions such as guilt, and how self-control works. Prof Baumeister is one of the most eminent living psychologists with over 40 books and 700 scientific publications. His book "Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength" (with John Tierney) was a New York Times bestseller.Show notesShould alcohol research say more about the pleasure of alcohol use? A recent article published in the journal of Addiction prompted a range of responses and further comment. In discussing whether harmful effects of alcohol use are over-estimated, I mention studies using Mendelian Randomization. One of the studies in East Asian populations where genetic 'flushing' effects have been used to test whether risks of alcohol consumption providing evidence for there being no protective effects of moderate drinking.A recent meta-analysis looked at how different quality studies appear to account for different findings around low level alcohol consumption, thus explaining the supposed 'health benefits' of low consumption.

Do you ever notice how some couples only sprint toward “saving the marriage” when the divorce papers are already drafted—while others seem to glide forward, energized by a shared dream? In this week's episode of Master Your Marriage, we tackle the sneaky trap of away-from motivation (fixing things only when the fire alarm blares) versus the power of a toward vision that pulls you closer every day.

Vous êtes devant une plateforme de streaming, seul, avec des amis ou un partenaire. Vous essayez de choisir un film à voir. Peut-être réfléchissez vous aussi à quelle nourriture vous avez envie de vous faire livrer. Vous y passez une heure. Ça en devient une blague. Mais parfois, ça peut virer à l'angoisse. Ce phénomène n'est pas simplement un petit coup de stress, ça a un nom et c'est étudié cliniquement : la fatigue décisionnelle. Cette fatigue développée par le cerveau à cause des prises de décision a été théorisée dès 1990, par le psychologue américain Roy Baumeister. Selon lui, le cerveau, tout comme n'importe quel muscle, peut s'épuiser et générer de la fatigue mentale. Qu'est-ce que c'est ? Et qui est touché ?

It's time to address the age-old question: Do children make us happy? Backed by powerful research and personal stories, Kylie and Justin explore the paradox of parenting—how our kids can simultaneously be our greatest joy and our biggest challenge. Featuring insights from happiness researchers like Daniel Kahneman, Paul Bloom, and Roy Baumeister, the conversation moves from exhaustion and conflict to purpose, meaning, and unconditional love. KEY POINTS: Research shows that parenting often decreases happiness and marital satisfaction, especially in the early years. Daniel Kahneman's study revealed mothers find time with kids less enjoyable than activities like watching TV or shopping—particularly during stressful mornings and evenings. Despite the challenges, most parents say they don't regret having children—why? Cultural and policy differences influence parental happiness across countries. Parenting isn’t primarily about happiness—it's about purpose, meaning, and deep emotional connection. The hardest parts of parenting often give rise to the most profound moments of growth and joy. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "If the loss of a child would be total annihilation, then having a child—healthy, happy, and sound—must be annihilation’s opposite, which sounds pretty terrific." – Paul Bloom RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Parenting Revolution by Dr. Justin Coulson All Joy and No Fun by Jennifer Senior The Sweet Spot by Paul Bloom Meanings of Life by Roy Baumeister Daniel Kahneman’s research on parental enjoyment Columbia University studies by Sara McLanahan ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Redefine Happiness: Shift your focus from momentary happiness to long-term meaning and connection. Embrace the Mess: Recognise that hard days are part of the growth—yours and your child’s. Prioritise Connection: In the chaos, seek small moments of intimacy and presence. Protect Your Partnership: Align as a couple around shared parenting values; the child isn’t the problem—misalignment often is. Find Support: Advocate for better policy and community support—or build your village where you can. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Pop star Chappell Roan recently claimed that all her friends with kids are “in hell” and have “no light in their eyes.” But is parenthood really as bleak as she makes it out to be? In this thought-provoking episode, Justin and Kylie Coulson unpack this viral comment with equal parts data, personal reflection, and heartfelt perspective. Together, they explore the complex relationship between parenting and happiness—and why the hard parts often make family life more meaningful, not less. KEY POINTS: Chapel Roan’s viral claim about the misery of parenthood sparked a deeper conversation about happiness and raising kids. Research shows that while parenting is hard, it can also lead to greater meaning and long-term satisfaction. Married parents report higher happiness than unmarried or childless individuals, despite the challenges. Our culture often values ease and independence—but meaning and deep connection are built through effort. Parenthood brings emotional richness, not just “happiness” in the moment. Blanket statements about parenting overlook the light, joy, and depth it brings to many lives. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:“I’m so rich—life is so rich—because every time I look at one of my kids, I think: this is what it’s all about.” — Kylie Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Happiness research from the U.S. on parents vs. non-parents Paul Bloom & Roy Baumeister’s work on meaning and parenthood Instagram post from @tessapitter: “Dear Chapel Roan, I’ve never had more light in my eyes.” happyfamilies.com.au – Parenting resources for a happier family life ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Reframe your expectations – Hard doesn’t mean bad. Meaning often grows through challenge. Celebrate small joys – Whether it’s tying a shoelace or a shared laugh, these moments matter. Resist comparison culture – Social media snapshots don’t reflect the richness of your lived experience. Share your light – Let your kids see your joy, even in the chaos. They’re watching—and it shapes them. Choose presence over perfection – Fulfilment in parenthood isn’t about getting it “right,” but being there with love and intention.

Text "Morning" + your income level + platform name (e.g., "Morning, $, YouTube") to +1 310-508-0816 If you want to make more money and be more productive, you need to structure your day the right way. Science shows that willpower and mental energy peak in the morning. That means the smartest thing you can do is tackle your hardest tasks early—before your glucose levels dip and decision fatigue kicks in.One of my mentors, Professor Roy Baumeister, wrote the book Willpower, and I’ve paid him for years to learn the science behind success. The truth is, it’s not about waking up at 4 AM or following some crazy 74-step checklist—it’s about stacking your tasks in the right order. Do the tough stuff first. That’s how high performers like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Warren Buffett structure their routines to stay ahead.
In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into the psychology of meaning and how our present influences both our past and future. Drawing on insights from renowned psychologists Dr. Roy Baumeister and Dr. Kathleen Vohs, they explore the idea that present events derive meaning from their connection to future outcomes. The conversation touches on the growing disconnection in society and how an uncertain future impacts our sense of purpose. With rising rates of depression, suicide, and social isolation, many people are struggling to find meaning in a world that feels increasingly divided. Patrick and Steffany examine the shift from community-based happiness to individual pleasure-seeking and its effect on overall well-being. They also discuss the impact of global and personal tragedies, including the recent loss in the figure skating community, and how grief is deeply tied to meaning. Steffany shares her perspective on grief as "stuck love" and emphasizes the importance of processing emotions, reconnecting with purpose, and moving forward with intention. In a time of rapid change, the couple highlights the necessity of cultivating hope, building community, and embracing conversations that inspire growth. Patrick also shares his excitement about his new role with McKay CEO Forums, a platform dedicated to fostering meaningful connections among business leaders. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to navigate uncertainty, reclaim their sense of purpose, and build a meaningful future despite life's challenges.
Ever wonder why success feels so elusive? In this episode, Kevin and Alan uncover the science behind willpower, why it fades throughout the day, and how you can strengthen it like a muscle. From late-night bad decisions to long-term success, they explore how self-control shapes your health, relationships, and career.Learn more about:Next Level Live 2025 - Saturday, April 5th, 2025 (10:00 am to 5:00 pm) - https://bit.ly/4aTwC7QFree 30-minute Coaching Call with Alan - https://bit.ly/4f3MSUz _____________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

En el centro de cada logro humano, de cada historia de éxito personal o profesional, hay una fuerza que, aunque invisible, define quiénes somos y hasta dónde podemos llegar: la fuerza de voluntad. Esa capacidad de resistir la tentación, de elegir el camino difícil pero correcto, de perseverar cuando todo parece en contra. … y sin embargo, vivimos en una época en la que esta habilidad parece más frágil que nunca. Distracciones constantes, impulsos incontrolados y hábitos poco saludables minan nuestra capacidad de mantenernos firmes y alcanzar nuestras metas. En este episodio analizo el libro Fuerza de Voluntad (Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, 2011), de Roy Baumeister y John Tierney, que explora la ciencia detrás de la fuerza de voluntad, desmitifica cómo funciona y nos ofrece herramientas prácticas para cultivarla y utilizarla como motor de nuestras vidas.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=====================================================================VIRTUOSADevoción Matutina Para Mujeres 2024Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, Colombia===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================30 DE DICIEMBRERESOLUCIONES DE AÑO NUEVO«No nos ha dado Dios espíritu de cobardía, sino de poder, de amor y de dominio propio» (2 Tim. 1: 7, LBLA).Ha llegado el día de hacer resoluciones de año nuevo. Y aquí estoy con la intención de ayudarte para que, esta vez, seas realista. Porque, seamos sinceras, ¿cuántas de las resoluciones que tomaste al final del año pasado lograste cumplir en este? Tal vez la reflexión de hoy te ayude a entender un poco mejor por qué no lo lograste y a ser más práctica en el futuro.Roy Baumeister llevó a cabo un estudio con dos grupos de personas elegidas al azar. Cada participante debía entrar a un cuarto y esperar que lo llamaran. En el cuarto del primer grupo había galletas recién horneadas, pero todos recibieron la instrucción de no tocarlas. En el cuarto del segundo grupo había remolachas, que tampoco debían comer. Tras la espera, todos iban pasando a una sala donde se les haría un examen escrito, que no era duro en cuanto al nivel de dificultad de las preguntas, pero sí en cuanto a su profundidad y extensión. El objetivo era ver qué grupo tenía más autodisciplina y perseverancia en la prueba, es decir, cuál contestaría mayor número de preguntas antes de rendirse (porque todos se rindieron sin terminarlo). El resultado fue apabullante en favor del grupo dos, el de las remolachas. ¿Por qué? Porque los otros habían ejercido mucha autodisciplina mientras esperaban para no comer las galletas, y llegaron al examen con muy poca capacidad restante de disciplina y perseverancia. Los otros, en cambio, no habían tenido ese desgaste.Sabiendo que nuestra perseverancia y autodisciplina tienen un límite, no hemos de emplearlas en cualquier cosa, pues agotaríamos en cuestiones tal vez superficiales un poder que mejor hemos de emplear en algo más esencial. Nuestras resoluciones no han de estar basadas en hacer o dejar de hacer cosas (lo superficial), sino en buscar cada día la Fuente de poder (lo esencial) que nos permita hacer lo difícil con la convicción de que es para nuestra salvación y la certeza de que él suple lo que nos falta. Unida a esa Fuente de poder, todo lo demás es automático; se convierte en rituales diarios llenos de sentido motivados por valores profundos.«De todos los sonidos de campana, el más solemne es el que suena en año viejo».* Porque al hacernos conscientes del paso del tiempo, nos recuerda nuestra necesidad de unirnos más a Dios."Todos debemos nacer de nuevo el primer día de enero". Henry Ward Beecher.* Frase de Charles Lamb.

Today, Jason introduces the concept of developing willpower and understanding the concept of free will. He also discusses the topic of "refi till you die," a strategy for property investment. He emphasized the potential benefits of investing in real estate, particularly in Birmingham, Alabama, and encouraged listeners to consult with a tax advisor and visit his website for more information. The conversation ended with Jason expressing his excitement to explore these topics further with Roy in their upcoming 10th episode show. Jason and New York Times Best selling author Roy Baumeister discuss the concept of free will, the unique aspects of human behavior, and the importance of self-control and reputation over self-esteem. They also explored the differences between men and women, the development and maturation of boys and girls, and the idea that nature experiments more on males than females. Lastly, they emphasized the significance of human connection and relationships in achieving happiness and well-being, and the role of willpower in improving life. #FreeWill #Psychology #Evolution #HumanBehavior #SelfControl #Willpower #SelfEsteem #GenderDifferences #Loneliness #Relationships #SocialMedia #HumanNature #CulturalEvolution #Cooperation #Intelligence #PersonalDevelopment Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:27 Introducing Roy 2:35 Refi Til Ya die https://youtu.be/Ylzg1N9hVv0 8:26 A duplex in Birmingham AL Roy Baumeister interview 11:51 Overview of Roy's work 13:20 Do we really have "free will" 15:45 Human will vs. animals 18:53 To share or not to share 22:15 Book: The Self Explained: Why and How We Become Who We Are 25:38 Self esteem vs. self control 27:50 Narcissism and a thousand reputations 29:25 Book: Is There Anything Good About Men? 39:42 An indicator of happiness 44:30 Will power and self-control is worth cultivating Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Becoming Your Best | The Principles of Highly Successful Leaders
Part of becoming a great leader is not only overcoming the challenges of leadership itself but our personal limitations as well. The first step is identifying them and knowing and understanding their origin. Then, we must equip ourselves with the tools and resources to obliterate them: an antidote to eliminate their effects. This week, I share the best advice from the noblest of companions, the one who holds long life in the right hand and wealth and honor in the left, one that is worth more than silver and gold and is more valuable than jewels: wisdom. We discuss Roy Baumeister's "Negativity Effect" and John Gottman's relationships' "4-Horsemen of Apocalypse." Throughout this episode, you'll hear Roy Baumeister's brilliant responses to Jennifer Graham's interview about the "Negativity Effect," and you'll learn why most of us spend more time on negative thoughts, ideas, and feelings. We'll also discuss John Gottman's "4-Horsemen of Apocalypse" in professional and personal relationships, origin, meaning, and antidote. Tune in to Episode 395 of Becoming Your Best and discover these fantastic tools that'll help you keep improving and get close to your best version.

Humans have limited information processing abilities and cannot possibly evaluate all possible options when making a decision. However, describing people merely as irrational paints an inaccurate picture. There can be benefits to the biases we hold. Author of Optimally Irrational: The Good Reasons We Behave the Way We Do Lionel Page PhD, joins Kurt Nelson and Tim Houlihan on Behavioral Grooves Podcast to talk about his book. Lionel is a French-born economist who is currently working as the Director of the Behavioural and Economic Science Cluster at the University of Queensland in Australia. Among the topics Lionel discusses is the hedonic treadmill and how happiness is always just ahead of us. Our subjective satisfaction system is designed to keep us motivated by focusing on future goals. However, once we achieve those goals, we move on to the next. Anticipated utility and loss aversion become a powerful motivational combination. Our motivations for decisions are complex. But intentionality can help make up for some of the inconsistencies in our decision making. Topics (1:51) Speed round questions. (3:13) Is overconfidence beneficial or not beneficial? (6:06) What is rational and irrational behavior? (11:34) Why it is so important to define a field of work. (14:09) Why is it so difficult for us to ask for what we want? (17:31) Completeness helps us to find missing points. (22:38) Happiness is actually connected to loss aversion. (32:37) The benefits of anticipated utility. © 2023 Behavioral Grooves Links Lionel Page PhD: https://economics.uq.edu.au/profile/9755/lionel-page Lionel's book, “Optimally Irrational: The Good Reasons We Behave the Way We Do”: https://amzn.to/46RoYIH Episode 333, How Game Theory Can Be Used To Explain Human Behavior | Erez Yoeli: https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/game-theory-to-explain-behavior/ Episode 171, Self Control, Belonging, and Why Your Most Dedicated Employees Are the Ones To Watch Out For with Roy Baumeister: https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/self-control-belonging-and-why-your-most-dedicated-employees-are-the-ones-to-watch-out-for-with-roy-baumeister/ Prospect theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospect_theory Episode 276, How To Stay Motivated So You Exceed Your Goals | Ayelet Fishbach PhD: https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/motivation-to-exceed-your-goals/ Behavioral Grooves Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/behavioralgrooves
