Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Sterner

If you've been in a rut lately, maybe it's time to rewire your thinking patterns. Our brains are a fascinating thing… We are so quick to believe that our thoughts are all real. That what swirls in our brain is the truth that your entire perception of your life experience is built upon. But what if it isn't fully true? My special all-star guest today is author Thomas Sterner and he's simplifying how to rewire your thinking patterns. You'll gain a better understanding of your conscious and unconscious thinking to open your mindset to new ways of perceiving what's happening in your life and all around you. Here's how.  My special all-star guest today is Thomas Sterner and he's simplifying how to rewire your thinking patterns. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: Why humans are “victims of automated thinking” vs realizing that we are the master creator of our thoughts. How to better understand the language of your subconscious thoughts. What “deliberate thinking” is and why he believes it can give us emotional freedom. How to tell the difference between a reaction and a response. …And ultimately, he shares a concept called “Heartmath” and how it can help you to effectively communicate with others. When you peel back the layers of the onion, you realize that how you perceive what's happening to you in your life is literally affecting every other aspect of how you move through life. Even the notion of “what's happening TO you” vs “what's happening FOR you” is one to take a moment to consider. Are you always on the defense, with your guard up and very rarely letting people (and opportunities) in?  Q: Are you ready to learn how to rewire your thinking patterns? If yes, this one is for you.

Den omdiskuterade utredningens underlag till regeringens kommande klimathandlingsplan, föreslår 46 åtgärder för att svensk klimatpolitik ska synka med EUs skärpta klimatmål. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. John Hassler har kallats klimatmålens bödel och kritiken mot utredningen var hård långt innan den presenterades. Nu finns hans 46 förslag till hur svensk klimatpolitik ska anpassas till EUs skärpta mål och krav på alla medlemsländer.Det som föreslås är bland annat att se över de svenska klimatmålen till 2030 för att baseras på EUs och att införa ett nytt svenskt utsläppshandelssystem. I ett sådant system ska koldioxidutsläppen inom transporter, jordbruk, mindre industrier och uppvärmning av bostäder och lokaler kosta mer. Det kan leda till högre bränslepriser.Utredningen är ett viktigt underlag till regeringens kommande klimathandlingsplan, där regeringen ska presentera åtgärder för hur klimatmålen ska nås, både EUs och de svenska. Som det är nu ökar regeringens politik utsläppen och klimatmålen nås inte.Medverkande:John Hassler - professor i nationalekonomi vid Stockholms universitet.Thomas Sterner - professor i miljöekonomi vid Göteborgs universitetMikael Karlsson - docent i miljövetenskap Uppsala universitetRomina Pourmokhtari, klimat- och miljöminister.Daniel Värjö - reporter Niklas Zachrisson - programledare Anders Wennersten - producent

My guest this week is Thomas Sterner, whose latest book is It's Just a Thought (affiliate link). As you know, your thoughts aren't always helpful or true. In this conversation Tom and I talked about how to change your relationship with thoughts, which I think about a lot as CBT therapist. Just knowing that we're thinking is a huge part of what's helpful, but awareness alone is usually not enough. We need specific ways to practice new thinking. Tom shares some really interesting techniques for developing more helpful thought patterns.

Today I share a reading from Thomas Sterners' book "It's Just a Thought: Emotional Freedom through Deliberate Thinking.  It's the perfect preparation for our talk together tomorrow. Enjoy

Why do we react to some situations in ways that cause us pain, anxiety, and fear? Why is it so hard to quiet our minds so we can fully enjoy the present moment? And is there anything we can do to change any of this?These are the kinds of questions that author Thomas M.

In this episode, of The Mindset Mentor, Tania Kolar chats with author Thomas Sterner on his latest book, It's Just A Thought: Emotional Freedom through Deliberate Thinking. They discuss how to recognize unhelpful historical and present-day programming, and the mechanics involved to master our thinking and become the thinker of our thoughts instead of the one ‘being thought.” Tom shares that we are not the thoughts and emotions that can overwhelm us, and that on any given day we have the power to connect to who we really are and achieve what we really want and need.

Good people, In today's episode, I'm joined by the CEO and founder of The Practicing Mind Institute, author, podcaster, and mindset maven, Thomas Sterner. As a teenager, Thomas was very creative. Yet, he lacked discipline, so once the initial enthusiasm for starting something new dissipated, he would look for something else, leaving that initial project unfinished. It took him some time, but he realized he was reacting to behaviors installed in his subconscious mind.Thomas' truth was to realize he was the producer of his thoughts, not his thoughts. This revelation, rarely seen in teenagers, helped Thomas become an observer of his thoughts and gave him an advantage in his personal and professional life. Eventually, he became an expert in Present Moment Functioning, which allowed him to bring clarity to thousands of people, including CEOs, elite athletes, and high-performing individuals.Throughout our conversation, Thomas shares how his early awakening helped him become an observer of his thoughts and his experiences sharing this knowledge with teenagers and peers. You'll also hear about the heart and mind connection, how meditation can help you become aware of your thoughts, why Thomas believes we can find many answers in the quantum theory, and more.In This Episode, You Will Learn:A bit about Thomas' background and his truth (2:43)How Thomas' life changed when he became aware he and his thoughts are two separate things (6:08)Thomas talks about his inspiration for writing his books (9:13)"It's just a thought."

Thomas Sterner's new book It's Just a Thought: Emotional Freedom through Deliberate Thinking offers proven methods for recognizing and redirecting the thoughts that fuel stress, anger, and fear and redirecting them to foster accomplishment, success, and even joy.Why is it so hard to implement the positive changes we want to make?Why do we react to some situations in ways that cause us pain, anxiety, and fear?Why is it so hard to quiet our minds so we can fully enjoy the present moment?Is there anything we can do to change any of this?These are the kinds of questions that author Thomas M. Sterner answers in his new bookWith inspiring examples and practical action steps, Sterner teaches we are not the thoughts and emotions that overwhelm us.

Reflect back on the last hour of your thinking and consider how many of those thoughts you created on purpose. If you're like most of us, you'll likely see that much of your thinking gets produced without your direction, and often outside of your awareness. This week, Thomas Sterner shares insights from his book, It's Just a Thought: Emotional Freedom through Deliberate Thinking. Throughout his career, Thomas has been exploring methods for thinking, rather than being thought. What he's learned is that directing our thoughts, instead of being directed by them, is not only possible, it's transformative.    Guest Bio Thomas M.

We will learn: Why we find it so much easier to focus on some thing we consider play rather than something we consider work.  Why it doesn't work when we try to enjoy something.  4 techniques he calls the “S Words” that help you to develop control over your practicing mind.  When was the last time you practiced something in order to get better at it?  If you're into sports or musical instruments you probably have a leg up on most adults, but even then, a lot of people just lean into the skills they already have rather than picking up new ones. The thing about practicing, or practicing well I should say, is that it's a total present moment activity. Our guest is Thomas M. Sterner. He is the founder and CEO of The Practicing Mind Institute. He is considered an expert in Present Moment Functioning or PMF.

https://tomsterner.com/ https://www.amazon.com.au/Practicing-Mind-Thomas-M-Sterner/dp/1608680908 In those times when we want to acquire a new skill or face a formidable challenge we hope to overcome, what we need most are patience, focus, and discipline, traits that seem elusive or difficult to maintain. In this enticing and practical book, Thomas Sterner demonstrates how to learn skills for any aspect of life, from golfing to business to parenting, by learning to love the process. Early life is all about trial-and-error practice. If we had given up in the face of failure, repetition, and difficulty, we would never have learned to walk or tie our shoes. So why, as adults, do we often give up on a goal when at first we don't succeed? In his study of how we learn (prompted by his pursuit of disciplines such as music and golf), Sterner has found that we have forgotten the principles of practice -- the process of picking a goal and applying steady effort to reach it. The methods Sterner teaches show that practice done properly isn't drudgery on the way to mastery but a fulfilling process in and of itself, one that builds discipline and clarity.

Klimatarbetet måste accelerera och Sverige har goda förutsättningar att ligga i framkant. Det konstaterar Klimatpolitiska rådet som på onsdagen presenterade sin årliga rapport. Rådet består av experter som granskar hur regeringens samlade politik påverkar klimatet.Medverkande: Johan Kuylenstierna, ordförande i Klimatpolitiska rådet. Thomas Sterner, professor i miljöekonomi vid Göteborgs Universitet. Ulrika Björkstén, Sveriges Radios vetenskapskommentator.Programledare: Camilla Widebeck camilla.widebeck@sverigesradio.seProducent: Jonna Westin jonna.westin@sverigesradio.se

I det 65:e avsnittet av podden gästas vi av Thomas Sterner. Thomas är professor på Göteborgs universitet och en av Europas främsta miljöekonomer.  Med den senaste IPCC-rapporten färskt i minne börjar vi med en diskussion om hur klimatförändringarna förväntas påverka ekonomin. Thomas förklarar hur man kan räkna på skador som uppstår av klimatförändringar och hur han resonerar kring skador som uppstår många år in i framtiden. Han kontrasterar även sina egna forskningsresultat med ekonomiprofessorn William Nordhaus som 2018 fick Nobelpriset för att “ha infört klimatförändringar i långsiktig makroekonomisk analys”. (Diskussionen här utgår bl.a. från forskningsartikeln “Few and Not So Far Between: A Meta-analysis of Climate Damage Estimates” som Thomas har skrivit tillsammans med sin kollega Peter Howard.) Vi dyker även ner i frågan om koldioxidskatter. Thomas förklarar vad de har haft för roll i omställningen av det svenska energisystemet och delar med sig av anekdoter om när han har missionerat för koldioxidskatter i andra delar av världen.  Avslutningsvis går vi igenom rättviseaspekter kring högre avgifter på att släppa ut koldioxid. Innebär koldioxidskatter en större belastning på de med minst resurser? Och hur kan politiker genomföra dem utan att de väcker motsvarande gula västarna-uppror?

This episode feels almost nostalgic, as it is a return to the theme of the roles and interactions of the conscious and subconscious mind, something which I focused on early in the podcast and came out strongly in my main series on expertise (around episode 20). It also shares some relation to books on the topic of cognitive biases on the one hand, and the complexity of the world on the other. Psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer has two main points to make: firstly, that ignorance and cognitive biases often outperform knowledge and "clear thinking"; and secondly, he proposes a way in which gut feelings work. On the first point, Gigerenzer points us to some experiments which are convincing of their point but difficult to know how to make use of. It turns out that, in tasks like guessing which of two cities has the larger population, if you've heard of one but not the other, the one you've heard of is probably more populous. This requires that you are "somewhat ignorant" - you know one city but not the other - as if you are completely ignorant (not heard of either) or somewhat knowledgeable (heard of both) then you can't use this trick. It seems very impractical to try to reach a perfect state of mild ignorance in everything in order to use this trick, and you would have to give up the benefits of knowledge in order to do so... Nevertheless, the theoretical point is well made. On the second point, Gigerenzer proposes that gut feelings are simple rules that cut out most of the information, and they often make use of an algorithm called "take the best". The algorithm works like this: you compare whether the available options in the most important feature, then the next important feature, and so on, until in one of the comparisons one of the options is clearly better, at which point you choose that one. So, for example, if you're choosing a restaurant, maybe you first think about the food, but two places both have good food; then you compare atmosphere, but both atmospheres are good; then you compare price, and find one is considerably cheaper, so you go there. Overall Gigerenzer's work makes a welcome contribution to thinking about the nature of intuition. Probably the most insightful idea is that gut feelings use simple rules, because that way they can cut out the noise and make decisions easier. Richard Dawkins apparently once claimed that when we catch a ball we must be implicitly solving partial differential equations; Gigerenzer shows that this is probably not what happens.

One of the biggest areas we get "stuck' in our lives is believing that we can't be happy or feel confident until x happens. What if you could change your focus instead of on the goal, to learning to enjoy the process? What if you could learn to find joy in the journey? You can. It's more than possible! Join me as I share just a small inkling of the amazingness I've learned from Thomas Sterner.

Nu satsas miljarder på att stötta coronakrisdrabbade ekonomier. Hälften av pengarna skulle räcka för att få oss på god väg mot att bromsa klimatuppvärmningen, enligt en ny studie. Kanske kan de göra det samtidigt? Världen över satsar regeringar på stimulanspaket för att lindra de ekonomiska effekterna av coronapandemin. Enligt en studie i tidskriften Science uppgår den samlade summan till ungefär 12,2 biljoner dollar. Det betyder 12,2 tusen miljarder dollar. Det skulle gå att hålla världens uppvärmning på en nivå som är i linje med Parisavtalet för betydligt mindre summor. Nu blir det viktigt för den fortsatta utvecklingen hur pengarna används för att stötta fossilindustrin eller sätta fart på övergången till förnybart, som sol- och vindenergi. Vi hör Thomas Sterner, professor i miljöekonomi och Johan Kuylenstierna, vice ordförande i Klimatpolitiska rådet.

Bidrag och subventioner till fossila bränslen ökar igen i världens länder, det visar den senaste statistiken från OECD, som publicerades i somras. Trots att G20-länderna redan 2009 kom överens om att gradvis fasa ut sina subventioner av fossila bränslen, så spenderas fortfarande miljarder ur olika statskassor på att underlätta och stimulera försäljningen av olja, kol och gas. Fossilsubventioner är motsatsen till principen "förorenaren betalar", och de motverkar försöken att hejda klimatförändringen. Många vill att subventionerna ska bort, men protesterna blir ofta högljudda när de ska slopas. Till exempel i Ecuador, när regeringen försökte ta bort stöd som gjorde bensinen billigare. Klimatutsläppen skulle minska radikalt, om alla fossilsubventioner slopades. Klotet handlar denna vecka om bidragen som håller fossilindustrin under armarna. Gäster i programmet är Thomas Sterner, professor i miljöekonomi vid Göteborgs Universitet, och Mette Kahlin McVeigh, chef för klimatprogrammet på den gröna, liberala tankesmedjan Fores. Programledare: Mona Hambraeus

Vi är tillbaka!! I dagens 12e avsnitt har vi Thomas Sterner som gäst, professor i miljöekonomi vid Göteborgs Universitet. Vi pratar om vad som står i Parisavtalet och hur det kommer sig att exempelvis Norge öppnar nya oljefält och Kina bygger nya kolkraftverk fast de har skrivit under avtalet som uppmanar till motsatsen. Sen pratar vi om för- och nackdelar med handelstullar i syfte att minska klimatpåverkan. I slutet försöker vi låta hoppfulla och pratar om vad vi kan göra för att rädda världen (dvs typ inget förutom att mest bara hoppas att USA byter president).

Vad ska vi göra när våra kärnkraftverk blir för gamla och stängs ner? Lita på sol, vind och vatten, eller bygga nya smarta reaktorer? Så här skulle i så fall framtidens kärnkraft kunna se ut. En gång skulle den svenska kärnkraften stängas ner till 2010. Idag talar många för att den ska byggas ut med nya snabba reaktorer som ger energi i tusen år till. Andra hävdar att tekniken är dyr och farlig och har redan konkurrerats ut av de förnybara alternativen. Kommer vi att ha någon kärnkraft i framtiden och i så fall, i vilken form? I programmet hörs Erica Wallin, kommunikatör på SKB i Forsmark, Ane Håkansson, professor i reaktorteknik vid Uppsala universitet, Markus Wråke, vd på forskningsföretaget Energiforsk, Thomas Sterner som är professor i miljöekonomi vid Handelshögskolan i Göteborg, Christian Ekberg, professor i kärnkemi på Chalmers, Göteborg och Janne Wallenius, professor i reaktorteknik på KTH i Stockholm.

Thomas STERNER is a renowned environmental economist, he was involved in the IPCC as one of the authors in charge of the chapters on policy design. He has published hundreds of scientific articles and more than a dozen books on various topics such as energy, climate, transport, resource management and carbon pricing. Thomas shared his vision of the current climate situation as well as key outputs from the latest IPCC report. He then explained why Carbon Tax is the best tool at our disposal, how it works and also how it could ultimately be used to systematically integrate externalities in prices. We also discussed its acceptance, comparing the case of France with the yellow vests crisis, with Sweden, where Carbon Tax has been created as early as 1991! That lead us on various topics such as energy transition, inequalities in revenue but also inequalities between cities and rural areas and of course on politics, and how the risks could escalate if we have bad policies on top of the environnemental crisis.Thomas shared all that and more with his warmth and humour, providing us with insights and hope!!

When making changes and wanting to live a healthier life, a lot of emphasis is placed on nutrition and exercise, but what if living healthier isn’t really about what we put in our mouths? Join Lana as she explains how her 100 Day Live Your Best Life Challenge kicked up a lot of negative thoughts. In doing some reflection, her 100 Day LYBL Challenge isn’t just about her wellness plan. Mindset plays the biggest role in her choices. Tune in as she talks about the different types of mindsets and how it can affect each of our wellness journeys.

Are you generally a goal-oriented person or a process-oriented person? And what does that have to do with wellness? Join Lana as she talks about how her nutrition plan became overwhelming and she was trying to figure out why. She realized she was maybe focusing more on a goal and not the process of getting to that goal. Are goals important? Or should we forget goals altogether and focus only on the process?

En höjning av bensinskatten i Frankrike skapade de gula västarna och regeringskris. Det var konkret miljöekonomi som blev politik. Annars definieras miljöekonomi som konsten att på ett effektivt sätt hushålla med samhällets begränsade resurser på ett långsiktig hållbart sätt.Det kan till exempel göras genom att analysera hur man med styrmedel, alltså skatter, bestämmelser och subventioner kan hantera miljöproblem. Det är inte bara klimat, det är biologisk mångfald, kemisk förgiftning av mark och vatten, vattenbrist, utfiskning och en rad andra problem. För att hjälpa oss att reda i allt detta har vi som gäst i dag Thomas Sterner professor i miljöekonomi vid Göteborgs Universitet. 

Whether as a younger you or yourself now, we’ve all had goals either written down or in our head that we’ve wanted to achieve by a certain age. Well, that’s certainly the case among the 4 of us. This episode isn’t about setting goals but more have we fallen victim of wanting to achieve ‘things’ by a certain age and what even dictated that. In this weeks episode, find out who wanted to be a MILLIONAIRE at 25 and who wanted to get married at 25. We also share a few things we’d like to achieve in the next 5 years…which includes someone wanting to have TWINS! And of course, it wouldn’t be a Take Flight episode without a book review and that is led by Pabilo and it’s a great segue from the main discussion! 1.

13 maj. I dagens avsnitt av Ledarredaktionen diskuteras Bensinupproret.Med Lydia Wålsten. Som gäster deltar Magnus Nilsson, Jacob Lundberg, Thomas Sterner och Christian Ekström. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Om vad som krävs för att rädda världen undan klimatförändringarna. Sätt ett pris på koldioxid, svarar experterna. Hur då? Genom höjda bränsleskatter, säger politikerna. Men så kom de gula västarna.   Frankrikes president Emmanuel Macron fick trycka på paus i klimatarbetet efter våldsamma protester i höstas där höjningen av bensinpriset blev den tändande gnistan. Och det är inte bara han som möter motstånd Varför är priset på bensin så känsligt? Och hur påverkar det här möjligheten att rädda jorden undan smältande glaciärer? Thomas Sterner, professor i miljöekonomi vid Göteborgs universitet, har varit rådgivare till den franska regeringen. Skatten är i sig inte orättvis, som den var utformad skulle den inte slå hårdare mot fattiga än mot rika, enligt Sterner. Problemet var att regeringen inte lyckades sälja in den till låg- och medelinkomsttagarna som fyllde Paris gator. Det blev ännu svårare när Macron samtidigt skulle sänka förmögenhetsskatten, för dom rika. Efter bakslaget i Frankrike riktar många nu blicken västerut, mot premiärminister Justin Trudeaus Kanada. Där har hans liberala parti infört ett system för koldioxidskatt där de pengar staten får in via bränslepumpen ska gå direkt tillbaka till människors plånböcker i form av en check senare i vår. En slags koldioxid-skatteåterbäring. Men i år är det valår i Kanada och det har utbrutit en maktkamp mellan premiärminister Trudeau och Ontarios starke man, konservative Doug Ford som tagit strid om bränsleskatterna. Vi hör Kanadas tidigare miljö- och utrikesminister Stephane Dion, nu sändebud till Europa. Han vet vad det kan kosta politiskt att prata koldioxidskatt i ett bilburet land. För trots att den här typen av skatter är det mest effektiva i kampen mot klimatförändringarna enligt forskarna, har dom visat sig vara politiskt svåra att införa. Det säger Malcom Fairbrother, kanadensisk sociolog som forskar på väljarattityder mot koldioxidskatt, just nu vid Umeå universitet. Frilansjournalisten Mary Newman träffar missnöjda bilägare vid bensinpumparna i en förort till Toronto. Men här sticker Sverige ut, vi har inte hört några högljudda protester trots att vi har de högsta koldioxidskatterna i världen och var först med att införa dom - redan på 90-talet. Men stödet för Sverigedemokraterna i valet i höstas kanske kan ses i ljuset av det som kan bli ett västuppror även här. Inge Östlund i Rättvik tror det. Han var tidigare Centerpartist men har nu bytt till ett parti som tycker som han, att bränsleskatterna ska sänkas. Ett budskap som gick hem i valstugorna. Och hur har det då gått i Frankrike? Sveriges Radios korrespondent i Frankrike, Margareta Svensson, fick tag i en av dom som lett de gula västarnas protester och nu försöker forma en politik där koldioxidskatten kan accepteras av den breda massan, Jacline Mouraud. Programledare: Robin Olin robin.olin@sr.se Producent: Ulrika Bergqvist ulrika.bergqvist@sr.se

De kraftiga protesterna i Frankrike de senaste veckorna utlöstes av regeringens planer på höjda bensin- och dieselskatter. Varför mötte det så starkt motstånd? Hade den franska regeringen kunnat införa skatten på annat sätt? Vi hör om en ny modell för koldioxidavgift som införs i Kanada vid årsskiftet: avgift och utdelning, där alla de pengar som kommer in genom systemet delas ut till medborgarna igen. Vi träffar medborgarrörelsen Citizens' Climate Lobby som länge kämpat för att få just ett sådant här system på plats, för att hejda koldioxidutsläppen och samtidigt omfördela välstånd. Hade systemet med avgift och utdelning varit något för Frankrike? Skulle ett sådant system fungera i Sverige? I programmet hör vi bland andra Sverker Jagers, statsvetare vid Göteborgs universitet som forskat om den kanadensiska avgiften. Vi möter också Thomas Sterner, professor i miljöekonomi vid Göteborgs Universitet och rådgivare åt den franska regeringen.

Det måste kosta att släppa ut koldioxid i atmosfären och förstöra klimatet. I valrörelsen lanserar Liberalerna att Sverige borde driva på för en gemensam koldioxidskatt inom EU. Är det realistiskt? Att sluta använda kol inom Europa kan gå snabbare än vad vi hittills trott. Priset på att släppa ut ett ton koldioxid inom EU har nämligen rusat i höjden det senaste halvåret, tack vare ett svenskt förslag på hur den relativt ineffektiva utsläppshandeln kunde förbättras. I programmet hörs: Lars Zetterberg, klimatforskare på svenska miljöinstitutet IVL, Thomas Sterner, professor i miljöekonomi Göteborgs universitet, Anders Turesson, tidigare chefsförhandlare Miljödepartementet.

I finansvärlden sjuder intresset för gröna investeringar. Många investerare letar efter projekt som inte bidrar till klimatförändringar och fortsatt miljöförstöring.   Det krävs stora summor pengar för att klara omställningen till ett hållbart samhälle. För att den globala medeltemperaturen inte ska stiga mer än två grader behövs, enligt vissa beräkningar, mer än 90 000 miljarder dollar till år 2030. Stora investerare som försäkringsbolag och pensionsfonder har gott om pengar att placera, och letar efter tillförlitliga investeringsobjekt. Därför har intresset för gröna obligationer vuxit snabbt de senaste åren. Genom att ge ut gröna obligationer kan exempelvis företag eller kommuner få in kapital till större miljöprojekt. Nu har frågan om även stater ska ge ut gröna obligationer tagit fart. Hittills har Polen och Frankrike emitterat statliga obligationer. I början av året lämnades en utredning om även Sverige ska göra samma sak. Utredningen har remissbehandlats under våren men inget beslut har fattats. Och det finns kritik mot statliga obligationer. I Klotet medverkar bland andra finansmarknadsminister Per Bolund, Mats Andersson, fd VD för Fjärde AP-fonden och regeringens utredare, Thomas Sterner, professor i miljöekonomi vid Göteborgs universitet och Cecilia Repinski, grundare av Stockholm Green Digital Finance.

Tom Sterner Are you fully engaged, present in this moment, completely content? Our culture encourages our minds to be overactive, anxious, longing for the future or regretting the past.Thomas Sterner, bestselling author of The Practicing Mind, shows us how simple shifts in perspective — such as learning to center our attention on the process of what we are doing instead of what we are trying to achieve; using goals as guides instead of reminders of what is left to be done; and learning to work without judgment about the process — can completely transform the experience of going through each day. He says, “Everything in life comes from practice. No matter how small or inconsequential we think it is, everything we do, from brushing our teeth to getting through a scary job interview, comes from practice, the deliberate repetition of an action with an awareness of what we want to achieve.” And it works!

WARRIOR of The Present Moment “Focus is a result of being fully engaged” -Thomas Sterner Highlights - Being fully engaged is being completely absorbed in the moment When you are fully engaged, your thinking thins out. The number of thoughts your mind produces are reduced Reactive mode is one of disempowerment Being fully engaged takes a lot of practice, with the conscious attention to learning this skill When you understand it's a period of repeating and refining, that's what mastery is When we master things, the execution becomes more effortless The problem with a habit is there really is no conscious thought behind it Ensure your past tasks or future tasks don't interfere with your present, daily, tasks Put your learnings into what's happening in the present moment Guest Contact - Thomas's Website, Thomas on Twitter and Facebook Thomas's books:  Fully Engaged: Using the Practicing Mind in Daily Life The Practicing Mind: Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life — Master Any Skill or Challenge by Learning to Love the Process Gifts - Check out the Creative Warriors Gifts Page where you can grab gifts and offerings from many Creative Warriors past guests.

Podcast 598: Fully Engaged-Using the Practicing Mind in Daily Life with Thomas Sterner by Greg Voisen

Focus on the process, not the product. It's OK not to know how to achieve your goal: just begin. Get it out there--even if it isn't perfect. You can learn as you go. Stop judging yourself and your progress. I was 30 and working on a doctorate in education before these concepts began to surface in my life. They were a far cry from what my parents and teachers had taught me. It's just another way of saying: trust and have faith in the unknown. All you really need to do is focus on where you are right this second and not let your mind spin out into the future. It's akin to the answer to the famous question, How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. But what about business plans and strategic plans and sketching your art work before you paint it? Even if you believe in focusing on the process, doing it is quite another thing given the pressure most of us feel to do it now and do it perfectly. Please join us Thursday to learn how to let go of judgment and enjoy the process.

Orienting your mind and habits towards practice rather than outcome is a lifelong endeavor well worth pursuing. Listen to the podcast for ideas, quotes, and core concepts from the book. Enjoy! http://www.creativehabitspodcast.com/the-practicing-mind/

So far, we have seen a several books with messages relating to the psychology of motivation, particularly to the conditions under which people have greater motivations to do difficult tasks (Drive, Punished by Rewards), as well as what kinds of attitudes lead to greater learning and improvement (Mindset). In The Practicing Mind, we get a look at the phenomenology of these conditions, i.e. what does it feel like to be intrinsically motivated and have a growth mindset?   Thomas Sterner is a jazz pianist and piano restorer. As a child he found practice to be boring and frustrating, but with time he came to both enjoy it and see greater progress, which he puts down to an originally mostly subconscious understanding of how practice should be carried out. He was particularly struck by the need for a greater public understanding of practice when he took up golf in his mid-thirties.   On the golf course, he would see people who had been playing golf for ten or twenty years who still didn't look much better than beginners. They would be terrible at the game, and yet not know why, or how to change their game. He compares them to musicians who have been playing the piano for twenty years and yet still didn't know that they were supposed to play with their fingers, not their elbows.   Sterner shows us his philosophy of the power and meaning of discipline, focus, and the quieting of the mind. Laced with insights from eastern philosophies, the author shows us the futility of expecting perfection, and the contentment we can gain from an honest relationship with what we are doing. His ideas are applicable in almost any domain of life, if we are to believe, as he does, that "all of life is practice".   The Practicing Mind is something of an unusual book for this podcast in that it proposes ways of practicing better without any evidence other than the author's own experiences to back up its claims. In a bookshop, it would quite possibly be filed under "self-help" rather than "education". And yet, I find this first-person account to be refreshing after speaking about these issues at length from a detached, scientific standpoint. I hope that taking the personal perspective of this individual expert will be something that benefits you as much as it has me.   Enjoy the episode.

Today on Trend Following Radio Michael Covel interviews Thomas Sterner, author of “The Practicing Mind.” Tom was in the same career for over 30 years when he decided to make a switch. He self published the first edition of “The Practicing Mind,” and as it snowballed into a phenomenon, publishers started knocking at his door for wider distribution.This is about practicing focus and learning to calm your mind. Not an easy task in today’s world with media constantly telling us we are incomplete in what we are doing. People incessantly crave closure, but closure is not always the answer. Tom says that immersing yourself in something that is ongoing puts you in a place of “being.” People are always trying to complete the next level, but being in a state of constant expansion is the best state to be in. He says that even the process of writing books does not have a beginning and an end. He looks at it as an ongoing process. When one book ends, then you can move on from saying what you needed to say and move onto the next phase of what you want to be said. Tom shares a personal story about becoming a musician. For years he had felt inadequate as a musician. It took some time but eventually he figured out that he had accomplished many milestones throughout his career but because he had a limitless ability to expand and grow as a musician, he would never reach the state of perfection he envisioned. Almost in an instant, his frustration and negative thoughts about his accomplishments washed away.The importance of repetition is Michael and Tom’s next topic. Your brain responds to repeated action best. This can vary from swinging a golf club over and over again, to how you meet people and interact with them. Tom says, “Attention combined with intention is the goal.” Your process and repeated practice is what makes achieving a goal feel so good. Anything you can snap your fingers and have doesn’t feel nearly as rewarding. He says that “Your perception of what good is and how good you can get is ever changing.”Lastly, Michael and Tom discuss multitasking and living in the moment of now. Tom says that the way we envision multitasking doesn’t exist. When you think you are doing a bunch of different things simultaneously, you are not. The brain is operating at higher speeds but we are not letting our brains concentrate in one area for a long amount of time so in consequence, our brain is atrophying. We are losing that part of our mental game. Slowing your mind down brings clarity and thought. Secondly it connects your mind to what you are doing. If you are just reacting to whatever your mind is creating than you have no control over what you are doing. Mindfulness is not something that can be mastered. You have to constantly work at it just like you would never say “I have mastered fitness so I don’t need to work out anymore.” It is a constant practice. The moment you catch your mind running off is when you start training your brain. If you can recognize yourself chasing your mind then that is being aware of where it is going. Mike says, “It is like an organized treadmill that everyone is on. There is this lack of awareness among people that they are not in control.” In this episode of Trend Following Radio: Attention combined with intention Non-judgment Perils of multitasking Controlling your mind Constant media chatter

The Practicing Mind. It’s the key to true inner peace and contentment. In a world that conditions us to obsess about goals and outcomes, it’s easy to miss the importance of the process. The PRACTICE. Thomas Sterner brilliantly (!) helps us bring discipline and focus into our lives to experience the presence and joy that comes as a result. (Bonus: We also create a frictionless path to our goals as well!)

OECD utvärderar och jämför olika länders politik på områden som påverkar den ekonomiska utvecklingen. Nu har de granskat Sveriges miljöpolitik mellan åren 2004-2012. Sverige får högt betyg av OECD för klimatpolitiken, exempelvis är koldioxidskatten och de gröna elcertifikaten något som fler länder bör ta efter säger organisationen i en ny granskning. Mindre bra lyckas Sverige när det gäller att minska övergödningen av Östersjön och skydda våra hotade arter. Klotet följer upp rapporten med en direktsändning från Rosenbad där OECD:s utvärdering svensk miljöpolitik nyss har presenterats. I programmet medverkar miljöminister Lena Ek (C), Thomas Sterner, professor i miljöekonomi och Matilda Ernkrans (S), ordförande i riksdagens miljöutskott och Naturskyddsföreningens ordförande Mikael Karlsson.

Statlig rea på bensin = större klimatutsläpp. Det satsas 3000 miljarder kronor årligen globalt av offentliga medel på subventioner till fossila bränslen enligt det internationella energiorganet IEA. Det är 6 gånger mer än vad som läggs i stöd på förnyelsebara energikällor som sol och vindkraft. Om man tog bort de stora statliga bidragen till bensin i världen och la på bränsleskatter istället så att det blev lika dyrt att tanka som i Europa skulle koldioxidutsläppen kunna minska med 1/3 på något decennium säger professor Thomas Sterner vid Handelshögskolan i Göteborg. Dessutom åker Klotet till Monchegorsk på Kolahalvön för att hälsa på i en av de mest nedsmutsade städerna på jorden. Programledare: Marie.Louise Kristola.
