The study of free will is often couched in broadly philosophical terms, but is it possible to develop a science of free will? On this episode, Dr. Roy F. Baumeister discussed his book, The Science of Free Will.

Read the full transcript here. How does psychological time differ from clock time? How does a person's perception of time relate to their personal identity? How does a person's view of their past shape how they view their future? To what extent do people differ in the degree to which they feel like a single, continuous person across time? What effects does a person's perception of time have on their assessment of injustices? Why aren't there more adversarial collaborations in academia? Is academia generally politically left-leaning? How does lack of political diversity in academia compare to (e.g.) lack of gender or economic diversity? Are liberal or progressive academics openly willing to discriminate against conservative academics when, for example, the latter have opportunities for career advancement? Is anyone in the US actually calling for legal changes around free speech laws, or are they only discussing how people ought to be socially ostracized or punished for expressing certain viewpoints? And is there a meaningful difference between legal and social punishments for those who make illegal or taboo statements? Are we in the midst of an ideological war right now? And if so, ought we to quash in-group criticism to avoid giving ammunition to our ideological enemies? Academia seems to have hemorrhaged public trust over the last few decades; so what can be done to begin restoring that trust?Anne Wilson is a professor of social psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University. Much of her research focuses on self and identity over time both for individual self and collective identities like nation, race, and gender. Her work illuminates the often-motivated malleability of our reconstructions of the past, forecasts of the future, and subjective perceptions of time itself. Her broad focus on motivated reasoning and cognitive bias has also led to more recent research on intergroup misperception, political polarization, and how speech suppression and censorship can inhibit collective bias correction.

Welcome back to Heidi's Lane, where in part 2 of our inspiring "No Fail New Year" series, I open up about the often-hidden struggle of overthinking, inviting you into my world of wrestling with the overwhelming power of our thoughts.  I get real about how the chaos of our minds can feel like an endless battle, but also how we can turn this into a victory march. I'm sharing my own experiences and insights on how positive thinking, staying true to ourselves, and personal growth are not just concepts but lifelines.  We'll explore together how our thoughts not just influence, but often dictate our emotions, actions, and ultimately the paths of our lives.  This episode is more than just a guide—it's a heart-to-heart conversation for anyone looking to break free from the chains of overthinking, reshape their narrative, and embrace a life filled with passion and purpose.  Join me as we dive into the transformative power of our thoughts and discover practical, relatable strategies to overcome the overthinking that often holds us back. Here are the key moments from the episode: 6:00 The deception of overthinking 10:30 Our thoughts lead to our destiny 16:30 What you didn't know about our daily thoughts 31:30 Strategies to transform overthinking into positive actions 41:45 The subconscious influence on our thoughts 47:45 The power of positive self-talk 53:15 What you can do to reduce overthinking Connect with Heidi Website: https://heidipowell.net/ Email: podcast@heidipowell.net Instagram: @realheidipowell Facebook: Heidi Powell YouTube: @HeidiPowellNet Train with Heidi on her Show Up App! https://www.showupfit.app/ Here are the 4 books I spoke about in this episode: Soundtracks (Jon Acuff): https://amzn.to/47WV2KU Switch On Your Brain (Dr. Carolyn Leaf): https://amzn.to/3UcLNma The Power of Bad (Jon Tierney, Roy F.

[Duri Bonin](https://www.duribonin.ch) hat in der griechischen Mythologie einen mentalen Trick entdeckt: Er ruft in Momenten des aufkommenden Ärgers die Göttin der Weisheit, der Strategie und des Kampfes zu Hilfe. Gemäss [Frank Renold](https://www.liip.ch/de/team/frank-renold) macht er es sich zu einfach, die Emotionen würden dadurch ja nicht einfach verschwinden, im Gegenteil hängen diese lange nach. Duri sieht das anders: Gemäss Kahneman haben negative Emotionen oder schlechte Feedbacks evolutionär bedingt eine stärkere Wirkung als positive, ein negativer Eindruck und negative Stereotype entstehen schneller und sind widerlegungsresistenter als ihre positiven Entsprechungen. Die Wirkung einer negativen Interaktion übertrifft nach John Gottman die positive im Verhältnis von 5:1 (!). Wenn man sich das bewusst mache, erkenne man Verhaltensmuster, was vieles relativiere und man könne frühzeitig Gegensteuer geben. Wenn es einem gelinge, die Spitze zu brechen, verrauche der Ärger schneller und der Blick für die Wirklichkeit werde weniger getrübt. Das Gehirn gibt schlechten Nachrichten den Vorrang, daher haben negative Emotionen eine stärkere Wirkung als positive, was zu einer Negativitätsdominanz in unseren Denk- und Verhaltensmechanismen führt.

There is so much goodness in store for us. But we often waste time and energy worrying, ruminating, and second-guessing ourselves. In this mini-episode of Spiritually Hungry, we discuss how to surrender to the process and trust in the Creator so we are free to spend our energy pursuing passions and living in the moment.“Holding onto things, like anger or resentment, actually stops the Light of the Creator with its positive intentions from entering into the situation. Not letting go, not training ourselves persistently to actively let go, actually precludes many positive benefits and blessings from entering into our life.” – Michael BergFurther Readings:The Power of Bad: How the Negativity Effect Rules Us and How We Can Rule Itby John Tierney & Roy F. Baumeister

Liczba zgonów z powodu chorób cywilizacyjnych wynikających z nieprawidłowego stylu życia nie zwalnia. Teoretycznie wszyscy już chyba wiemy jak zdrowo jeść, ile się ruszać i spać. Wiemy też, że powinniśmy dbać o odpoczynek i regulować naszą reakcję na stres. Jednak czy samo posiadanie takiej wiedzy jest wystarczające aby skutecznie zapobiegać chorobom cywilizacyjnym? Okazuje się, że tutaj kluczową rolę pełnią nasze nawyki, co w praktyce może okazać się dużo trudniejsze do wdrożenia niż posiadanie samej wiedzy na temat zdrowego stylu życia.

We often think of the self as something that exists independent of social relations, but without society, there would be no need for a self or any of the concepts that relate to the self, including morality, duties, belonging, or reputation. Roy F. Baumeister is a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland and is known for his work on several areas such as the self, self-control, self-esteem, motivation, and free will. His latest book is The Self Explained which builds on previous books, including The Power of Bad: And How to Overcome It, where he explores negativity bias and Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength.Greg and Roy discuss how the notion of the self is used and why it evolved in the first place, along with the ways that humans are different from animals psychologically. Roy identifies a few key features of psychology and traces some of psychology's concepts historically. In the end, they discuss the practicality and efficacy of different ways of building character and avoiding temptations. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What gets people to embrace morality? Why do they find it useful to do that? 16:48: We evolved to communicate and cooperate, that means your survival is essentially dependent on whether other people want to cooperate with you. So you need to figure out how to behave to keep cooperative partners in the future and to attract others. And morality is a blueprint for that. Morality is a set of rules: if you act this way and do the right things, other people will be glad to work with you and cooperate with you.35:50: You're not learning as fast if you're not being criticized or told that what you did is fine, even when it's not. It's essentially lowering the standards.On building up character46:07: If you want to build up your strength of character, you have to expose yourself to temptation and overcome it.Daily, regular exercise of self-control does make you stronger.45:59: So we think self-control works like a muscle. When you use it, it gets tired. That's the immediate depleted willpower—the ego depletion effect. But when it recovers, especially if you do it regularly, as with a muscle exercise, it becomes stronger.Punishment and criticism work better than praise and support30:35: I understand the education establishment has ambivalence about punishment. It can create resentment and other things, but purely in terms of learning, if you only have one or the other, the punishment and criticism work better than the praise and support. And certainly praising people and telling them they're doing great when they're not has to have some cost in the long run, although it feels good to all concerned.

How do we regulate our impulsive emotions, resist temptation, break bad habits, and come up to our best potential - and why do we sometimes run short? Is willpower anything like muscle power?    In this episode, we welcome prominent social psychologist Roy F. Baumeister, who has published some 700 scientific works, including 40 books. A recipient of many awards, in 2013 Roy received the highest award given by the Association for Psychological Science, the William James Fellow award, in recognition of his lifetime achievements.   Roy has studied major aspects of the self, the pros and cons of self-esteem, and why it is so hard to do mentally effortful tasks, like studying long hours for a math exam. He is especially known for his work on willpower, self-control, ego depletion, and the dark side of self esteem — how these factors relate to human morality and life success, and can even trigger interpersonal violence.   Talking Points   0:00 - Intro  04:44 - Is mental effort (willpower) analogous to a muscle? 09:32 - Eating glucose can help restore mental energy.  20:50 -  “Ego Depletion” is another useful analogy.  24:32 - The Practical Implications of Baumeister's Work. 34:27 -  Practice can make mental effort easier.  45:24 - Is Free Will An Illusion? A scientific view.  54:46 - Self-esteem without actual achievement is empty.   Links   — Website and Social Media — Website: https://bernardbaars.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BernardJBaars Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BernardJBaars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernardjbaars/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BernardBaarsOnConsciousness Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baarslab/?hl=en   — Roy F.

Why do we do what we don't want to do? And why can't we make ourselves do what we want? Humans have puzzled over this one for ages. But science is starting to clear a window into the motives and biology behind self-control. Science journalist John Tierney teamed up with psychologist and researcher Roy F. Baumeister in 2011 to write about it in their book “Willpower.” For this week's archive broadcast, you'll hear a conversation between Tierney and MPR News host Kerri Miller from early 2012 where they talk about how to understand this coveted human virtue. It hints at the discussion coming this Friday on Big Books and Bold Ideas — a chat with cognitive behaviorist and former professional poker player Annie Duke about the science of quitting. Guest: John Tierney is a science journalist and one-half of the duo behind the book, “Willpower,” published in 2011.

“The primary source of unconscious priming…is your conscious experience.” Our consciousness is where we bring everything together, where we integrate and form a rich integration of our experience. This result is that this experience gets spread out to all the processes of the mind which is pivotal to how priming, an unconscious effect, actually works. John Bargh is a researcher and professor at Yale University and is probably the leading researcher on behavioral priming and has been studying this topic for almost 40 years. Not only that but he is a long term friend of Behavioral Grooves Podcast. In this episode with John, we explore with him both the past and future of priming as well as some of the controversies surrounding it.  “The more important the goal, the more primable it is”   Topics (4:36) Welcome and speed round questions. (7:50) Why priming gets a bad rap. (13:01) What exactly is a prime? (16:17) Where does future research in priming need to go? (19:46) How does priming differ from expectation theory and the placebo effect? (22:33) How is framing not priming? (24:07) What is the summation of experience? (32:02) The stupid reason John went into social psychology. (40:51) What the meta analysis studies on priming have found. (45:50) Science communication: how to tell the good science from the bad.

For this week’s episode, I’m joined by NYU psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of several books, including (with Greg Lukianoff) The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure and The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion. Jonathan is also the co-founder of Heterodox Academy, where I serve on the advisory council. Despite that connection, this is our first extended public conversation. This is not, however, the first time I’ve engaged with Jon. After a talk some years ago, I asked Jon a question during the Q&A session, which I reintroduce here. Heterodox Academy’s mission is very important, but does focusing exclusively on viewpoint diversity prevent us from acknowledging that some viewpoints are more cogent than others? Jon’s recent Atlantic article “Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid” generated a lot of discussion, and he elaborates on his theory of “structural stupidity” here. He claims that, at the national level, the Republican Party’s hostility to moderation has made it structurally stupid and unable to examine its own premises, while left-dominated “epistemic institutions,” like journalism and academia, are mired in their own kind of structural stupidity. I find the structural analysis compelling, but I think it elides the fact that some of the Republicans’ policy position are not, in themselves, stupid at all. Jon is concerned that increasing intolerance on the left, especially on college campuses, may be caused by generational changes in child development. Gen Z is the first generation to have had access to social media as children, and they also had far less unsupervised free play than previous generations. I ask Jon whether this shift can account for groupthink around COVID-induced school shutdowns and drastic changes in attitudes toward trans and racial issues in the US. While the academy no doubt leans left, there is much more viewpoint diversity in economics departments than other areas. Jon has some interesting ideas about why. And finally, I ask Jon whether religion could play a role in increasing viewpoint diversity. It was great to finally connect with Jon. I hope and suspect it won’t be the last time we sit down for one of these conversations. This post is free and available to the public.

This an essay from the 1982 anthology “Against Sadomasochism” titled “On the History of Cultural Sadism,” by Kathleen Barry. It is followed by excerpts from a book by Roy F. Baumeister called “Masochism and the Self”, which pertain to male masochism and gender identity. Kathleen Barry is an internationally recognized feminist and sociologist. She is the author of the landmark book Female Sexual Slavery (1979) which has been translated into six languages and launched an international movement against sexual exploitation. She is the founder of the United Nations Non-Governmental Organization, The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, and collaborated with UNESCO to develop new international law that makes sexual exploitation a violation of human rights which is the subject of her 1995 book, Prostitution of Sexuality: Global Exploitation of Women. It has been translated and published in Chinese and Korean. Professor Roy F. Baumeister is a social psychologist who is known for his work on the self, social rejection, belongingness, sexuality and sex differences, self-control, and free will. He earned degrees from Princeton University and Duke University. Baumeister has researched social psychology for over four decades and made a name for himself with his laboratory research. Baumeister's 1989 book Masochism and the Self explains the phenomena of sexual masochism as a means of releasing the individual from the burden of self-awareness. In Chapter 7, “Femininity, Masculinity, and Masochism”, Baumeister discusses the aspect of gender in sexually masochistic practices. He found that in men, masochism presents differently than in women, with male masochists often eroticizing humiliation and the loss of status, including being “symbolically converted into women” and that “the desire for loss of status is a central feature of male masochism.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/womens-voices/message

Willkommen bei den SodaKlub Kalendersprüchen! Heute reden wir darüber, warum man die Abhängigkeit nicht mit Willenskraft besiegt. Woran es liegt, dass wir morgens total motiviert sind und abends plötzlich keine gesunden Entscheidungen mehr treffen können. Warum das fairerweise bei allen Menschen so ist und nicht nur bei dir. Aber wie zum Teufel soll man überhaupt ohne Disziplin nüchtern werden? Wir versuchen uns an einer Erklärung mithilfe von schillernden Metaphern. Darin kommen vor: Ausflippende Kindergartenklassen, verschimmelter Joghurt und das Umleiten der Dopaminwelle. —Bücher Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength — Roy F.

A year and a half into the pandemic, a lot has changed in the investment landscape.   Individual investors have been empowered, economies reacted in unpredictable ways, and we still have no clear idea of what is to come. At the same time, when we take a retrospective look, we can find parallels between the trends, behaviors, and reactions of today and events in the past. Today we're joined by one of the great conversationalists in the community, Chris Davis, to share his perspective on investing in a time of COVID and his outlook for the future.   Chris Davis is the Chairman of Davis Advisors, where he oversees approximately $30 billion of client assets for both individuals and institutions worldwide. Chris joined Davis Advisors in 1989 as a financial analyst and has been a portfolio manager of the firm's flagship fund, the Davis New York Venture Fund since 1995. That fund has a very long history, having been founded more than a half-century ago. An investment of $10,000 at the fund's inception would be worth $3.6 million as of June 30, 2021, versus 1.9 million for the S&P 500. Chris studied Moral Philosophy and Practical Theology at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and is on the board of directors at the Coca Cola Company and Graham Holdings.   In this episode, Chris, Tano, and I discuss how the pandemic compares to past crises, Davis Advisors' approach to triage as we entered the pandemic, why the banking industry offers more certainty to investors than other financials, the impact of low interest rates, the advantages US companies hold have over European companies, and so much more!   Key Topics:   The two types of crises Chris has seen over his career (1:53) COVID in the context of past crises (3:48) Davis Advisors' approach to analyzing the long-term impact of COVID (7:48) How Davis assessed key companies and industries as we entered the pandemic (9:38) Structural changes in the banking industry in the past decade (13:39) Why investments in banking come with a higher degree of certainty (15:18) The inherent uncertainty associated with insurers (17:21) Long-term dangers of the aggressive consumer bailout (19:36) How Chris saw history repeating itself in the past year (21:30) The biggest change in market structure (23:13) What active managers need to understand about dispersion (26:05) Factors that feed dispersion between Europe and the US (30:10) How Chris views his European investments (33:31) Two components of valuing a business (37:04) Amazon as a modern-day Standard Oil (39:14) Why successor CEOs should focus on preservation and protection (43:04) The impact of low interest rates (46:24) How banks have performed in the face of a significant headwind (49:03) The high adaptability shown by banks (50:36) Key differences between US and international banks (53:11) The numerous disruptors that the banking system has absorbed (56:16) How inertia and regulation protect banks from disruption (58:41) Chris' thoughts on the growth of the payments industry (1:00:27) Viewing Bitcoin as a digital version of gold (1:04:29) Why Chris' opinion on Bitcoin has shifted (1:07:35) Chris' big takeaway from 2020/2021 (1:10:08) The impact of China becoming the largest consumer economy (1:11:15) Why state and federal government finances keep Chris up at night (1:13:16) Chris' top book recommendations (1:15:10) And much more!   Mentioned in this Episode:   Davis Advisors Davis New York Venture Fund Walter Isaacson's Book | The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race Morgan Housel's Book | The Psychology of Money John Tierney & Roy F.

Today, Roy joins me to talk about willpower. We explore willpower, what it is, and why it matters. We discuss how we can strengthen our self-control, and we note the impact of stress on decision-making. We discuss how when we use self-control to establish good habits and routines, our lives can run smoothly on autopilot, which manages the depletion of energy. We note the importance of sleep for the body, mind, and self-control. We also talk about how to live in the present while respecting the future.   “The people who go through life just trying to improve a little bit, they often do the best.”– Roy F.

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

We discuss how, when we use self-control to establish good habits and routines, our lives can run smoothly on autopilot, which manages the depletion of energy. We note the importance of sleep for the body, mind, and self-control. We also talk about how to live in the present while respecting the future.   “The people who go through life just trying to improve a little bit, they often do the best.” - Roy F. Baumeister     This week on In the Doctor's Chair What is willpower The importance of self-control How to strengthen your self-control The benefits of routine The importance of sleep   In the Doctor's Chair  Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.

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

Although recorded in the early 1990s, self-esteem was discussed as much then as it is today. Do you think it’s true that “…many, many groups that are the targets of prejudice and discrimination don’t show terrible low levels of self-esteem that a lot of psychological theory suggests they ought to have?” Listen in as Dr. Jennifer Crocker, former Professor of Psychology at SUNY-Buffalo, and Dr. Roy F. Baumeister, former E.B. Smith Professor in Liberal Arts at Case Western Reserve University, discuss surprising research findings on the methods people use to protect their self-esteem.

Human beings are designed to remember trauma more than joy, bad times more than good ones. But John Tierney and Roy F. Baumeister have good news on the despair front.

The root cause of all our suffering that we do not take enough time, through mindful observation, prayer, and meditation to come to know ourselves -- our true, awakened nature. Our true nature is wisdom and great love and compassion. We contemplate death and impermanence as a way to relate to our true nature, which is more than this body and this life. We are a traveler, bound beyond this life. If we can relate to our deeper, spiritual self, we naturally want to care for it. How do we care for our true nature? Only through spiritual practice. Whether you believe in an afterlife, reincarnation or nothing beyond death, it’s still very valuable to live our lives with an awareness of our mortality. It helps us to prioritize our lives. When we come to the time of our dying, won’t most of us want to feel we have led a meaningful life? Will we not wonder, is the world is a better place because I was here? Realizing that we will someday die helps us discover--AND ACT ON--what is most important to us.  Today may be our last. There is no guarantee we will see tomorrow. This way of thinking can motivate us to live this day like it is our last! We hug our loved ones tighter and we are truly present with them. Is it any wonder that a University of Kentucky study found that “thinking about death fosters an orientation toward emotionally pleasant stimuli.” The researchers who conducted the study, C. Nathan DeWall and Roy F. Baumeister, said, “We have shown that the common response to contemplating death is a nonconscious orientation toward happy thoughts.” Awesome! Buddha was right :) If we believe that our spiritual awakening for the benefit of all living beings is the most meaningful function of our human life, then becoming mindful of death can lead to the conviction that we must practice today. Further, the realization that our true nature is unconditional compassion breaks through the feeling we are not enough. Like the acorn and the great oak tree, and the acorn becomes angry at itself because it can not yet provide shade or shelter like the giant oak. We can discover that the acorn is the same nature as the oak tree, even if it is still in the process of development. Likewise, we are in the nature of enlightenment, of great compassion and wisdom, even if we are still in the process of awakening. Why the laughter, why the joy,  When flames are ever burning?  Surrounded by darkness,  Shouldn’t you search for light? (146)    Look at this beautified body:  A mass of sores propped up,  Full of illness, [the object] of many plans,  With nothing stable or lasting. (147)*    This body is worn out—  So fragile, a nesting ground for disease.  When life ends in death,  This putrid body dissolves. (148)*    What is the delight In seeing these dull-white bones  Tossed away  Like white gourds in autumn? This city is built of bones,  Plastered with blood and flesh,  And filled with  Aging, death, conceit, and hypocrisy. (150)   Even the splendid chariots of the royalty wear out.  So too does the body decay.  But the Dharma of the virtuous doesn’t decay [For it is upheld when] the virtuous teach [it] to good people.

I’ve been thinking a lot about motivation and how we accomplish the goals that we set out to do. And I think there’s a bit a confusion about motivation and how it helps us get things done. Let’s take a look at the definition of motivation: The state or condition of being motivated or having a strong reason to act or accomplish something And let’s look at the definition of willpower: Control of one's impulses and actions; self-control. Motivation is the reason why you want to do something. It’s the fuel that gets going. It is not the thing that actually propels you. The engine that actually gets you to do something is willpower. Willpower is “like a muscle that can be strengthened with use, but it also gets fatigued with use,” says John Tierney, co-author of Willpower, with Roy F. Baumeister. If you simply rely on willpower to get you to do something, it’s going to take a lot of effort. According to the authors, the best way to reduce willpower fatigue is to turn something into a habit or a routine, which takes a lot less willpower. Just Do It “First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” – Epictetus Sometimes we wait until we “feel” like doing it. The problem is, we may never feel like it. Usually, the motivation to do something comes after we get started. The hardest part about working out at the gym is often just getting yourself to go to the gym. The hardest part about writing is just sitting down and getting started. If you can eliminate the barriers to getting started, then your chance of success is far greater than waiting for inspiration. Control One the most important factors though is what Epictetus reminds us: “To make the best of what is in our power, and take the rest as it occurs.” – Epictetus Sometimes, we attach some kind of negative emotion to the task we’re trying to accomplish. The task may feel overwhelming, or just plain scary. We may be too focused on wanting a specific outcome and we’re afraid that we won’t be able to do it. By focusing on the things that we can control, then we can focus our time and energy on something that will actually have some impact, and not waste our time on things we can’t control Distractions Most people who are successful create a process for accomplishing what they want. They figure out what they have control over, then put down the steps to accomplish their task, and then they follow those steps every time. They create an environment where it’s easy for them to fall into that routine, and where there are limited distractions. Marcus Aurelius said, “If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” If there is something that is distracting you, if it is something within your control, you find ways to either take care of it right then or plan time to take care of it later. If it is something you can’t control, you let go of it. For example, Stephen King sits down and writes 10 pages every day. He doesn’t care if they are good. He writes 10 pages while listening to the same Metallica album at a little desk in his office. He doesn’t wait to feel motivated. He removes all distractions and just does the task he set out for himself in his routine, and he does it every day. Create Your Plan You can start off by asking yourself some questions (I’d suggest writing the answers down): What are the things that I can control? What are the steps that I need to take? What are the tools I need to accomplish it? What are the obstacles in my way? Are there other potential obstacles that I can think of? What steps can I take to work through those obstacles? What can I do to create an environment that eliminates distractions and helps me focus? Once you have those questions answered, you have the start of your plan. Create an environment that is most conducive to helping you accomplish the tasks. The next thing is to just start doing it. Often times, this is the hardest part. If you wait until you “feel” motivated, you probably won’t. Just do it for 3 minutes then quit if you want. You can do just about anything for 3 minutes, and usually, once you get started doing something, it’s easier to keep that momentum going, and you usually feel even more motivated to keep doing it. Remember, a routine will beat relying on motivation and willpower any day.

Every day we go to bed knowing we have left many things unfinished, allowed intrusive thoughts about unfinished business interrupt the work flow, and wasted a lot of time. Even though, the productivity guru Stephen Covey has famously said, “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing” many of us can't decide fast enough or well enough what that main thing is. The researchers agree that having to make decisions, small or big, every step of the way depletes the mental resource available to each person on a daily basis and the best antidote to that is to not start the day without a plan; and yet, many find themselves wasting this limited but most prized resource without much thought. On this episode, the world-renowned research psychologist and accomplished author of over 35 books, Dr. Roy F. Baumeister, talks about goal-pursuit, self-efficacy, roadblocks to planning, and ways to rethink a daily plan.About Roy Baumeister, Ph.D.Roy F.

A secret ingredient in the life of an easy-going, popular kid with lots of friends and good grades is self-control. Eventually, this kid grows up into a focused, accomplished, and well-adjusted adult who lives a physically well-disciplined and financially secure life without ever brushing against the law or criminal justice. On the other hand, those who fail to deploy self-restraint bear the brunt of an onslaught of bad decisions and a life of discontent. On this episode, the world-renowned psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, Dr. Roy F. Baumeister talks about the mechanism behind self-control - the brain's internal reins that help pull back and inner brakes to cease oneself from moving forward.About Roy Baumeister, Ph.D.Roy F.

Eventually, this kid grows up into a focused, accomplished, and well-adjusted adult who lives a physically well-disciplined and financially secure life without ever brushing against the law or criminal justice. On the other hand, those who fail to deploy self-restraint bear the brunt of an onslaught of bad decisions and a life of discontent. On today’s podcast, the world-renowned psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength, Dr. Roy F. Baumeister talks about the mechanism behind self-control - the brain’s internal reins that help pull back and inner brakes to cease oneself from moving forward.

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

Claudia ist Coach für Partnerschaftsfragen für Singles und Paare. Ihr Coaching bietet sie in Einzelsitzungen an, aber auch in Seminaren an. Die Seminare finden zum Teil auf einem Segelschiff statt, wo sie mit einem Mann, Hanno Fecke, zusammen arbeitet.   Die größten Beziehungskiller? Anfangen, anders als in der Verliebtheitsphase über seinen Partner zu denken, ihn abwerten Aufhören die Wahrheit zu sagen Erwarten, der andere müsse meine Wünsche kennen: "Wenn er mich liebt, dann weiß er doch, was ich möchte." Unausgesprochenes bzgl. Sexualität: z.B. über die Häufigkeit Recht haben/behalten wollen   Umgang mit Angst, Unsicherheit, Misstrauen, Eifersucht Im Coaching mit Claudia wird erfragt, wo in der Lebensgeschichte das Vertrauen angeknackst oder zerstört wurde. Also wann habe ich angefangen anders über Vertrauen zu denken? Diese Geschichte wird hinterfragt und dann wird ein neuer Standpunkt von Liebe, Fülle und Vertrauen eingenommen.   Für erfüllte Partnerschaft funktioniert... Beziehungskiller ansehen und begradigen Partner als Nummer 1 sehen, nicht die Kinder, einen anderen Mann/eine andere Frau, den Job oder Freiheit oder Unabhängigkeit In Liebe mit sich und der Welt sein; das heißt unter anderem, die Andersartigkeit des anderen anzunehmen Wort geben und Wort halten Die Wünsche des Partners kennen und gerne erfüllen, sowie seine eigenen kennen und kommunizieren   Buchempfehlungen: Wie Liebe gelingt: Die Paartherapie Bert Hellingers – Johannes Neuhauser Glücksregeln für die Liebe – Pierre Franckh Wozu sind Männer eigentlich überhaupt noch gut? – Roy F.

http://www.MeaningfulHQ.com // Episode 069: Overcoming Procrastination - 3 Unconventional Methods That Work  There’s this Dutch survey that says 95% of people are chronic procrastinators.  I think the other 5% are liars. EVERYONE procrastinates sometimes. Some people are just better at containing it than others. "How do I get over my bad habit of procrastination?" That question - or some variation of it - is one of the most common queries about the topic of productivity ... And it'll probably stay that way for another thousand years — or until we all becomesuper productive transhumanist robo-peeps — whichever comes first.  We’ve all got our own little reasons for procrastinating…  I've got this make-it-or-break-it project to work on right now... BUT FIRST, I've gotta manually create an index in my Moleskine for all my blog post ideas. My taxes are due tomorrow... BUT FIRST, I should probably clean up the kitchen; it's a total mess in here. I've gotta write + publish this article about the 10 reasons why Bruce Jenner is a total weirdo... BUT FIRST, let me catch up on some 'House of Cards' real quick. And it goes on and on ... Until you catch yourself and consciously decide to stop the train and get off in favor of what needs to get done RIGHT NOW. Some of us can jump off the procrastination train and get to work immediately ... The vast majority however, end up flying into a shiny but non-essential task like a moth in a bright room... Next thing they know, they've totally lost track of what was supposed to have gotten done that day. Any of the above sound familiar? If yes, then stay with me ... because you, my friend, are about to learn some very unconventional (and super powerful) methods for getting over procrastination. Including a particularly interesting method that involves the power of — get ready for it — “positive procrastination.” But we'll talk more about that in tip #2. For now, let’s dive into the first method (before you decide to procrastinate on reading this article.) #1. Never Be Prepared. Here’s an example of a reason I always used to come up with to rationalize my own procrastination problem: “I’m a perfectionist” or, “it’s gotta be perfect.” This of course, was just a pretty way for me to avoid admitting my fear of failure.  You and I both know it’s never ever the perfect time or place to do something.  Wanna know how I overcame this problem?  First, I realized that the biggest thing holding me back from accomplishing the things I wanted most out of life was my obsessive attachment to perfection. Next, I realized that the reason I called myself a “perfectionist” was because I was afraid of what might happen if I failed at something (what would they say?) Finally, I came to the realization that I can never be fully prepared for anything in life. But I can always be ready. And that became my motto: “I’m never prepared, but I’m always ready.” Never prepared. Always ready. Same goes for you. METHOD #1: NEVER BE PREPARED (Be ready instead.) The next two tips and “hacks” come from the habits of unintentional efficiency experts of the past. QUICK NOTE: DON'T PROCRASTINATE ON READING FINISHING THIS ARTICLE, DAMN IT! No, you won’t “read this later.” All of us over-estimate our capabilities. We commit to dinners and events 3 months from now, thinking that we’ll have more free time in March than we did in January. Does that ever happen? Not for me. At least not often enough. If you convince your brain that you’ll read this later, what will happen is this: it’ll just get buried along with that other pile of shit you tell yourself you’ll do later. But this is not shit. This is your life. Your beautiful, totally awesome and meaningful life. Do not let your dependance on future time derail you from experiencing your life to the max. If nothing else has worked for you so far, this little list of tips will... Believe that and you’ve already won half the battle. #2. The Power of Positive Procrastination. Robert Benchley, a humorist + writer for The New Yorker, once wrote an essay in which he explained how he was able to develop the self-discipline to everything below in one sitting: read a scientific article about tropical fish,  build a bookshelf,  arrange books on said shelf, and respond to a letter from a friend that had been sitting on his desk for 20 years. According to Benchley, all he had to do was write up a to-do list for the week and put the aforementioned tasks *below* his *top* priority… which was to write an article. In his own words, Benchley wrote: “The secret of my incredible energy and efficiency in getting work done is a simple one … The psychological principle is this: anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment.” Translation: procrastinators tend to avoid doing one task by doing another, and very rarely do they ever sit still.  METHOD #2: USE THE POWER OF POSITIVE PROCRASTINATION. (Shoot for the moon, land amongst the stars.) #3. The Nothing Alternative. A novelist named Raymond Chandler pioneered “The Nothing Alternative” as a method of defense against procrastinating on his daily prose. Chandler couldn’t commit himself to cranking out 250 words every 15 minutes like writer Anthony Trollope. So he decided to literally wait around for inspiration to strike…  Personally, I find that inspiration never strikes while waiting around. Instead, I’ve found that inspiration strikes when I’ve cultivated a habit of consistency — to work, to write, to record — every single day. In the beginning, the work sucks a lot and often. But the more you do it, the better you become at it. But this isn’t the kind of “waiting around” Raymond Chandler used to do. His method of “waiting around for inspiration” was to set aside 4 hours every morning and give himself an ultimatum: Write, or do nothing at all. In his own words, Chandler said this about writers who suffer from procrastination:  “He [the writer] doesn’t have to write, and if he doesn’t feel like it, he shouldn’t try. He can look out of the window or stand on his head or writhe on the floor, but he is not to do any other positive thing, not read, write letters, glance at magazine, or write checks.” […] “Write or nothing. It’s the same principle as keeping order in a school. If you make the pupils behave, they will learn something just to keep from being bored. I find it works. Two very simple rules, a. you don’t have to write.  b. you can’t do anything else. The rest comes of itself.”  That’s The Nothing Alternative, right there, and you can use it on pretty much any task to make procrastination a problem of the past.  Your own work might not be as simple and clearly defined as Chandler’s, but you can certainly benefit from the clarity that comes from setting aside the time to focus on your ONE most important thing.   To try this out for yourself, figure out your most important goal for tomorrow morning and set aside 90 minutes of totally un-interrupted time to focus on that goal. No email. No smart phone. No non-sense. No Facebook, either. Shut-down your wifi if you need to. This is your time to turn it up to high gear and fucking focus. METHOD #3: USE THE NOTHING ALTERNATIVE. (Do or die.)

http://www.meaningfulhq.com/weight-loss-and-willpower.html Meaningful Show, Episode #66: Weight-Loss and Willpower: Every week, there's a new weight loss pill or "proven method" to fat loss being peddled by some sketchy character in an Under Armour tank top. Maybe you've even fallen for their crap and pulled the trigger on whatever magic pill or piece of exercise equipmentthey had for sale at 2:00am on a Wednesday night. This is NOT that. In fact, it's the total opposite of a "magic" solution to weight loss... It's a *scientific* solution to weight loss. Recently, I came across a pile of science-backed research on weight loss while I was reading a fascinating book called "Willpower". After sifting through hundreds of experiments about weight loss and willpower, here's what the authors recommend to anyone who's ready to start taking this whole weight loss thing seriously: If you're serious about controlling your weight, you need the discipline to follow these three rules:  #1. Never go on a diet. #2. Never vow to give up chocolate or any other food.  #3. Whether you're judging yourself or judging others, never equate being overweight with having weak willpower. Here's some more food for thought from the authors of "Willpower": "You may not have kept your resolution to lose ten pounds this year, but that doesn't mean you should take up a diet or swear off sweets. And you certainly shouldn't lose faith in your ability to accomplish other feats, because being overweight is not a telltale sign of weak willpower, even if most people think so..." Yah wanna figure out how to stop binging on burgers, Big Gulps, and other fat-boy foods? Listen in on today's episode of the podcast to find out about the research behind weight loss and willpower, and how to use it to your advantage in order to get that gut back in check, once and for all. *** http://www.MeaningfulHQ.com | Episode #66: Weight Loss and Willpower - A Science-Backed Way To Lose Weight For Good Get your self-improvement questions answered on the podcast: Email questions@deanbokhari.com RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE: Get the shownotes: http://www.meaningfulhq.com/weight-loss-and-willpower.html SPONSORS: This episode of Dean Bokhari's Meaningful Show is brought to you by FlashNotes by FlashBooks - non-fiction book summaries + notes you can read or listen to in under 20 minutes.  GetFlashNotes.com features business book summaries, self-help book reviews, author interviews and many more of the big ideas and key take-aways from top non-fiction books and authors.  Get unlimited access to top Self-Help and Business Book Summaries for only $1 at getflashnotes.com/join This episode of the podcast is also brought to you by Audible Audiobooks (by Amazon) Get a FREE audiobook download and 30 day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/dean. Over 150,000 titles to choose from for your iPhone, Android, Kindle or mp3 player.

It may be lucky that I slept on my thoughts before Pete and I recorded this podcasts. If I'm honest, I guess I was pretty ropable the night before and definitely toned it down for this podcast. However I have a post in the works thats needs to be posted - stay tuned. The mistakes keep coming and they are simple to avoid and even rectify if we just use those two things on the sides of our heads. They're called ears in case you're wondering ;)  In Today’s Episode We Cover: No carbs. Sodium - this has been painted in the same light as Fat and as an endurance athlete you NEED way more then you may think. Fat adapted or not. Habits - how to create news ones that stick. Some K Rants... as I say above you get off pretty lightly ;) but maybe I should just let loose? Rote learning and why it's important. What ONE thing you NEED to do to get success in any goal. And how much depends on the difficulty of the goal.  The art of looking where you WANT to go and where not to look when you're suffering. Show Links: “Willpower.

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