Takeaways * If you want to do something really meaningful, it will by definition almost always be hard. * Chase the things that challenge you – keep going and throwing yourself at things that seem impossible. * Mistakes are only that if you don’t learn from them, consider them learnings instead. * There will come a point in your business where you need to shift from “we’re all friends here” to a clear hierarchy with a well-defined structure. * Equally important to building your business is keeping in touch with people in the field and keeping them informed as to what you’re doing. - - - Connect with Roeland Decorte Future Industries (https://decorte.co.uk/) LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-roeland-p-j-e-decorte-340066185) Twitter (https://twitter.com/decortedr) - - - Growth Mindset podSam Webster Harris explores the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.

Why Buddhism is True written by Robert Wright 'Why Buddhism is True' looks at the science and philosophy of meditation and enlightenment. Robert Wright is a devout non-meditating anger prone evolutionary psychologist and writer. He dives headlong into the world of meditation with surprising results, and explain why it works from an evolutionary standpoint. Robert Wright famously explained in The Moral Animal how evolution shaped the human brain. The mind is designed to often delude us, he argued, about ourselves and about the world. And it is designed to make happiness hard to sustain. But if we know our minds are rigged for anxiety, depression, anger, and greed, what do we do? Wright locates the answer in Buddhism, which figured out thousands of years ago what scientists are only discovering now. Buddhism holds that human suffering is a result of not seeing the world clearly—and proposes that seeing the world more clearly, through meditation, will make us better, happier people. In Why Buddhism is True, Wright leads readers on a journey through psychology, philosophy, and a great many silent retreats to show how and why meditation can serve as the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age. With bracing honesty and fierce wisdom, it will persuade you not just that Buddhism is true—which is to say, a way out of our delusion—but that it can ultimately save us from ourselves, as individuals and as a species. - - - On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.

Consciousness John Stuart’s view of consciousness is biological: We are conscious because we are animal. Consciousness is something that we evolved without animal lines. Conscious is biological phenomena. Perceptual memory: e.g when you are seeing a scene those residences on your visual system are stored close to the rest of the visual system in milliseconds Short term working memory- can be stored in a short period of time. e.g : the 7-2, you cellphone number. Episodic memories – various periods wjat youre experiencing reduced to detail and then stored. Global Workspace Theory by Bernard Bars Whole brain knows what are the current conscious contents are the objects Conscious contents: • Short term memory • Long term memory • Attention is the key to consciousness. We can only attend to exactly one thing at a time. • You can’t multitask. • How we decide what we attend to? • Attentional switching is time scaled. Every corner of the second, your brain makes the decision. • Experiences in life defines the cursor of consciousness. • Consciousness is emergent phenomena of life. Other class of conscious contents: Symbolical The higher emotional balance, good or bad, the more likely it has on your being. Number of useful memories has significance on your emotional balance. You can access your emotional balance. (It's like, if you had a bad memories, you can turn it into a good memories or funny memories). Can also prevent PTSD. Try to control your flow of attention. Choose what you pay attention to. Phone sucks your attention. Take your attention very seriously. Biggest takeaway: Don’t let anything or anyone hijack your attention. You are your attention.

Jomiro's question'My partner, who is 32, left his software career of 15 years. He's sick of being an employee and living for a paycheck.He wants to figure out what his contribution to the world is. His inspiration. At the moment, though, he feels stuck. Like his savings won't last. Feels l ike he has one shot to make the right decision and feels maybe some anxiety around this. His worst fear is that it won't work out and you have to go back to his desk job.I really hope that hearing from someone like you who's been there and felt that, and feels struggles with the same things as this, like he does. (Maybe) you can give him some encouragement he needs to follow his guts and believe in himself, as much as I believe in him, we'd love to hear your answers to sort of help him out.'Subscribe!If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.

Austen AllredCEO Austen Allred was inspired to co-found Lambda School after spotting the major disconnect between a labor market in need of specialized talent, and the inaccessibility of training programs designed to fill that gap. His solution is a fully remote tech school with Income Share Agreements; rather than pay the Lambda School for training upfront, students pay a portion of their income after they've graduated and secured a job.Lambda School trains people to be software engineers at no up-front cost. Instead of paying tuition, students agree to pay a percentage of their income after they’re employed, and only if they’re making more than $50k per year. If you don’t find a job, or don’t reach that level of income, you’ll never pay a cent. Austen’s disruptive ideas on the future of education, the labor market disconnect, and the opportunity of providing opportunity at-scale have been featured in: The Harvard Business Review, The Economist, WIRED, Fast Company, TechCrunch, The New York Times, among others.Connect with Austen on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/austenallred/)Twitter (https://twitter.com/Austen)Subscribe!If you enjoyed the podcast please subscribe and rate it.

In order to grow, you need failure. Understand and accept failure as a part of life. We often experience that learning is more effective in failure than in success because failure teaches us what works and what does not. When we embrace our strengths or limitations – we become better.People are often so afraid they’ll fail at something that they don’t try. Don’t be one of those people. Everyone has failed at something in his or her life, but not everyone tries again and again.World hard every day to reach your goals and you will.
