The adaptive unconscious does an excellent job of sizing up the world, warning people of danger, setting goals, and initiating action in a sophisticated and efficient manner. 2. We live in a world that assumes that the quality of a decision is directly related to the time and effort that went into making it. 3. Our unconscious is a powerful force. But it’s fallible.

 Top 8 Lessons learned From the Book- Feeling Great 1)One of the most powerful discoveries Dr. Burns made is that your negative feelings always say something really good—even great—about you, and they will nearly always help you in important ways too. 2)Your negative emotions result from your thoughts and not from the circumstances of your life. 3)You feel the way you think. In other words, your negative emotions, like depression and anxiety, come from your thoughts and not from the circumstances of your life. 4)The negative thoughts that upset you are nearly always distorted and twisted. They’re just not true. Depression and anxiety are the world’s oldest cons. 5)When you can change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. Best of all, that change can happen rapidly, even if the feelings of depression and anxiety are severe. 6)People may resist treatment because they have mixed or even negative feelings about recovery or will have to do something they don’t want to do. 7)B

 Top 20 lesson learned from book -Start With Why   #1 Why – How – What Before buying anything, people first ask why. After the question of “why” comes the “how” and “what” questions. Our author described this in the book as The Golden Circle. He explains the starting point of all works, from shopping to sports and art, with these questions. #2 How After the what question, the next question is “how”. After people define their problems, they think about how they want to solve them. If they decided to buy a product, you should think about what kind of product they would like to buy at that point. If you manage to offer them a solution, you will gain their trust. #3 What Everything in your company, from employees to customers, depends on what you do. It is up to you to ensure that your company achieves its goals, that your team develops, and that your customers choose you. #4 Manipulation You can only fool customers once. After a while, you can’t fool anyone. New customers do not come aft

 Top 6 lessons learned from the book "The Happiest Man On Earth" 1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money. Here are a few: -Experiences -Genuine connections -A feeling of purpose -Genuine concern for helping others -Eddie says, “there are many things in this world that no amount of money will buy you, and some things are priceless beyond measure.” 2.

  Top 9 Lessons  Learned From the Book "It’s OK That You’re Not OK" 1. Grief belongs to the griever You have a supporting role, not the central role, in your friend’s grief. Grief is a very personal experience and belongs entirely to the person experiencing it. 2. Stay present and state the truth ❗️You cannot know what the future will be, for yourself or your friend—it may or may not be better later. You cannot know that your friend’s loved one “finished their work here”, or that they are in a “better place”. 3. Do not try to fix the unfixable ❌Do not say anything that tries to fix the unfixable, and you will do just fine. ✨It is an unfathomable relief to have a friend who does not try to take the pain away. 4. This is not about you Being with someone in pain is not easy. You will have things come up—stresses, questions, anger, fear, guilt.

 Top 5 Lessons learned From the Book “Designing Your Life”  by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans 1. Life is dynamic You never “figure out” what life’s about. If you want to design your life, you need to brace yourself for a journey. The journey is about setting a direction, enjoying the process, and iterating as you go along. 2. Action precedes passion Passion is born in action. Very few people know what they’re passionate about. It’s only through doing many things and discovering what you like and don’t like that you begin to understand what you might be passionate about. 3. Finding the right problem to solve In the life If you begin working on the wrong problem, it doesn’t matter how good your solutions are. You will find a bunch of good solutions to the wrong problems. 4. Your dream job To get to your dream job, you need to create it.

SHERPA MINDSET

Image
 If you set out to climb Mt. Everest, one of the first things you do is hire a Sherpa. Originally an ethnic group in Nepal, today a “Sherpa” is the common term used for the leader of a mountain climbing expedition. In business terms, you are hiring a CEO to help you get to the top. Thinking of yourself in the role of the Sherpa will help you become a stronger leader. This is especially true today where leaders must empower their people, not just command them. As I reflected on the treacherous and risky conditions endured by climbers, it reminded me of our current business landscape and the need for courageous and thoughtful leadership. Here are five powerful lessons borrowed from those tough-as-nails, yet compassionate, expedition leaders: 1. Your real job is to lead others to the top. Sherpa’s are successful by helping those around them reach their full potential. The same is 100% true for you as a leader in your own organization. Ironically, the more you make it about others, t

  Top 5 lessons from the book “The intelligent investor” 1.The most important lesson from "The Intelligent Investor" is the concept of "margin of safety," which suggests that investors should only buy securities when they are trading at a significant discount to their intrinsic value. This helps to protect against potential losses if the security's value decreases. 2.Another key lesson is the importance of diversification. Rather than putting all of your eggs in one basket, the book recommends spreading your investments across a variety of different assets to reduce the overall risk of your portfolio. 3.The book also emphasizes the need for long-term thinking when it comes to investing. Rather than trying to make a quick profit, the book suggests taking a more measured approach and holding onto investments for the long term. 4. In addition, "The Intelligent Investor" emphasizes the importance of regularly reviewing and rebalancing your portfolio to ens

 LESSONS FROM How To Make Work Not Suck by Carina Maggar. This book is a fun and short book (160 pages), that shares advice on how to deal with the many obstacles young adults face when they get their first job.  Here are a few short key lessons from the book: 1) Everyone Is Winging It Everyone's making it up as they go along. You don't have to have all the answers to do a good job. If you're suffering from imposter syndrome or feel out of your depth, know you're not the only one crying in the bathroom at lunchtime. It's really just a case of who's putting on the best performance. 2) You Are Your Own Greatest Investment Whether it's some software, a gadget, a book or an online course, spending money on expanding your knowledge and skillset will never be wasted. 3) Assumption Is The Mother of All F*ckups Ask, clarify, ask again.

  Top 10 Lessons learned from the book- The Rudest Book Ever 1) If you need somebody else to tell you that you are special, then you have not done anything to earn it in your own mind. 2) He is old, hence he must be wise is one of the stupidest notions we take for granted. 3) Specialness then becomes a collection of skills, and feeling special is the sensation felt on upgrading in life after having mastered a skill. 4) Just because somebody is older doesn’t mean they have figured out life. 5) You need to accept the fact that rejections happen, that they are normal. Don’t take it to your heart, don’t try to figure out what that person is thinking. People are people, who knows goes in that mind of theirs. 6) Children learn by absorbing their surroundings.

  15 law from Book -21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell LAW #1 THE LAW OF THE LID Maxwell defines the Law of the Lid by saying “leadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of effectiveness. The lower an individual’s ability to lead, the lower the lid on his potential.” This idea is troubling forsome people because it means that no matter how much you desire to be a 10 on the scale of leadership, thereis a cap to your abilities based on a number of factors. Some of these factors are your people skills, planningabilities, vision, dedication to success, and your past results. The truth is, there are very few 10’s in the world; however, when you leverage the law of the lid and assess yourown leadership, then you will have a straightforward view of who your followers are, where they might land on the leadership scale, and areas in which you can grow in to raise your leadership lid. The reality is that if you are a 7 on the leadership scale, in most cases you

8 Lessons to Learn by Age 40

 8 Lessons to Learn by Age 40 #1. Embrace the Journey Most of your life will be spent in the journey, not the destination. Life is precious and each day isn’t guaranteed. If you put all your happiness in the destination, you’ll be very disappointed when you get there. This goes for physique changes, financial health, and relationships; once you reach the goal you have set it surprisingly isn’t as sweet as you imagined it. Find solace and peace with the journey to getting there; this is where the real magic happens. Acknowledge the stage you’re in and be grateful for the experience. The hard times won’t last and instead of feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and negative, are knowing that on the other side you’ll be wiser and more resilient. #2. Take the Leap Spend too much time thinking about “what ifs” and you’re just going to delay the action. None of us can predict what the future holds and no matter the outcome, have confidence in yourself that you can handle it. Often the hardest part

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" was written by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman and published in 2011

Image
 "Thinking, Fast and Slow" was written by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman and published in 2011. The book is about the dual-process theory of the mind, which proposes that there are two distinct ways of thinking: "System 1" and "System 2." System 1 is fast, automatic, and emotional, while System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and logical. Kahneman argues that people often rely on System 1 thinking because it is faster and requires less effort, but this can lead to biases and errors in judgment. The book discusses various biases and heuristics (mental shortcuts) that can affect decision-making, including the anchoring bias, the availability heuristic, and the framing effect. The book also covers topics such as prospect theory (how people evaluate potential losses and gains), the role of emotion in decision-making, and the difference between intuitive and deliberate judgments. Kahneman presents evidence from a variety of fields, including psychology, economi

 A 16th century painting showing the skinning alive of a corrupt judge, Sisamnes, in the year 500BC .  Sisamnes was a corrupt royal judge at the time of Cambyses ll in Persia.  It was discovered that he took a bribe in court and passed an unfair judgement. As a consequence the king ordered that he be arrested for his corruption and ordered that he be skinned alive. Before passing judgement the king asked Sisamnes who he wished to nominate as his successor. Sisamnes, in his greed, chose his son, Otanes.  The king agreed and appointed Otanes to replace his father. He subsequently passed judgement and ordered that Sisamnes removed skin should be used to upholster the seat on which the new judge would sit in court to remind him of the potential consequences of corruption.  Otanes, in his deliberations, was forced to always remember that he was always sitting on the skin of his executed father. This helped to ensure fairness and equity in all his hearings, deliberations and sentences.

  6 lesson from book 6 pillars of self-esteem . 1. The first pillar is the practice of living consciously. This means that we're present in each moment and aware of what's going on inside of us as well as around us. We don't ignore information that we don't like, and we pay attention to our emotions. People who are living consciously are able to focus on what is happening now, and to stop thinking about the past and the future. 2. Self-acceptance is the second pillar. It means that we accept ourselves unconditionally. We are compassionate toward ourselves even when we don't admire our own feelings or decisions. These factors do not change our respect for ourselves. 3. Self-responsibility means recognizing that we're in charge of our own choices and actions, and that no one else can make them, change them, or fix them for us. We don't blame others for our own choices, and don't expect others to make us happy. 4. Self-assertiveness is the fourth pillar. It

 10 Powerful Lessons From The Book "Outliers" By Malcolm Gladwell 1. Focus on effort To become successful, many things outside of your control must come into alignment.  Focus on what you can control, effort and improvement. 2. Achievement = Talent + Practice Natural talent gives you a head start but does not guarantee success. Consistently practice a craft you love.  You'll gain more talent than any natural starts with. 3. The 10,000 hour rule It takes roughly 10,000 hours to become world class. Most experts accomplish this over 10 years. Be patient, keep going, your time will come. 4. Marry your passion It's difficult to hit your 10,000 hours of practice if your passion is a side hustle. Find a job that will pay to practice your passion for 8 hours a day. 5. Have a winning attitude IQ and natural talent are important, but only to a point. A tall basketball player has an advantage but isn't guaranteed to be the best player.
