If you’ve ever wondered what the most successful people in the world know that the rest of us don’t, then do we have the show for you! Today we’re going to talk with one of the most positive researchers in the world! * Bio at bottom. His name is Shawn Achor and he’s one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between happiness and success. His research on mindset made the cover of Harvard Business Review, his TED talk is one of the most popular with over 11 million views, he’s lectured or worked with over a third of the Fortune 100 companies, as well as the NFL, the NBA, the Pentagon and the White House. Shawn is the author of New York Times best-selling books The Happiness Advantage (2010) and Before Happiness (2013) and he recently did a two-hour interview with Oprah at her house to discuss his mission to bring positive psychology to the world. Today we’re going to talk using positive psychology to rewrite your own maps, and completely transform your life. This means greater success at work, happiness at home, and new outlook, for a new you. It’s come at an incredible time too. Our show hits our one month anniversary, tomorrow. At present we have thousands of listeners in at least 78 countries, we’re growing exponentially with today being our highest growth day ever, and this morning, we woke up to find we’re the #15 self-help show in the world…all in under one month. I want to talk with Steve about this, about how our mindset and our maps truly create our reality -> and how to use that to our advantage! So what’s the goal of today’s show: To give you the advice you need to become a “positive genius” and bring tremendous success into your life! Topics include: What creates greater levels of happiness. Why when you’re happy first, everything improves – How happiness is really is first step before success. Most important: First have to believe change is possible – Understanding this is the biggest change in positive psychology movement Understanding why happiness must precede success and why success does NOT bring happiness This is why “successful” movie stars, musicians, professional athletes, and even tenured professors are not happy. And is why Oprah was depressed at the height of her career And why Shawn Achor himself was depressed while at Harvard Understanding that it’s not about your genes, even if you’re “pre-disposed” toward something May have genes that predispose you, but it’s not about your genes. Making small changes in your life on a daily basis can have major impact on rewiring your mind. Small changes have macro-level affects on our intelligence creativity and ability to be positive. Big question is: What’s the smallest intervention possible? Key Exercise: For 21 days in a row think of 3 things they’re grateful for each morning or each day you get into work (CHECK OUT OUR HAPPINESS MEDITATION FOR A SIMILAR GUIDED MEDITATION EXERCISE) This activity of scanning the world is extremely powerful. It can take people who have been genetically low-level pessimists, and in 21 days turn them into life-long optimists!!! Doing this exercise with 4 year olds at the dinner table, having them scan for things to be grateful for, can turn them from lifelong default pessimist to lifelong optimist. Every outcome improves when human brain is positive first As important children practice this as brushing their teeth or eating breakfast. An extremely important habit for both kids and adults alike – for adults important to practice this before going to work, or first thing when they get in to work. Important note on this exercise: Must be things are grateful for that are NEW (that’s occurred over last 24 hours and why) Rewires the brain to start to scan for the positive and see the opportunities that are around you. Without exercises like this, your ability to focus on the positive can atrophy. 5 HABITS THAT CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE Every day when get into work, first job to write 2 minute positive email praising or thanking someone they know. Do this for just 3 days in a row and people literally get addicted to it, and others write great emails back. 21 days later on your social connection score is off the chart in social support, because you have 21 people you’ve meaningfully activated. The Single greatest predictor of long term happiness is breathe, depth, and meaning of social networks. Social connection is as predictive of life expectancy as the food you eat, how much exercise you do, and even whether you smoke or not. Social connections are why western males don’t live as long as their female counterparts, and why western males are so much more likely to have heart-attacks. Success rarely leads to happiness However, if you can get someone to be positive, they rise to the highest possibility within your band of potential Lucky vs. unlucky people Unlucky people are simply not focused on the positives and so don’t see the potential around them. Amazing study about lucky vs. unlucky people – the “lucky” p

Do you ever feel there’s greatness inside of you, a higher purpose or calling, something grander more meant for your life, if you could only figure out what it is or how in the world to tap into it. If so then do we have the show for you! Today we’ll be talking with Derek Rydell prominent life, business, & career coach to Emmy and Academy Award Winner,s Fortune 500 execs, and evolutionary leaders in business, spirituality nad the healing arts.

Topics Include: Why “Self-Improvement” is an oxymoron What “the end of self improvement” really means Derek’s story for self improvement, which didn’t work. Why he was: Suicidal Addicted to Drugs and Alcohol Struggled to drive across bridge without pulling it off the edge Coral Reef Near-death experience – Had to surrender Discovered the “self” trying to improve was a fiction Went to monastery to become a monk Learned we’re not broken – Instead we must learn how to dust off the perfection which is already there We are already perfect, whole and complete! The challenge with the Law of Attraction is that it’s trying to attract, improve or achieve from a limited perspective Attracting from a limited perspective creates a barrier or resistance to what is already trying to emerge. It’s like trying to serve two masters or ride two horses at the same time Law of attraction – manifestation cycle – why it often doesn’t work The true meaning of whole-work, not homework. How to tune in to our true self How to know “you are already whole and complete” Are you congruent with this truth? Why Ego and The Tribe get in our way Ego is designed to keep us the same – is an artifact of our evolutionary growth So tribe tries to keep us down, and ego tries and prevents change – isn’t letting us evolve Happens in our “tribe” called our family as well, is a vestigial protective device Need to separate yourself from that until you can hold your space in that expanded place. THE EMERGENCE MODEL – Whatever’s “missing” is what you’re not giving Because the truth is, everything really truly is within you. How to be the light Emergence is the “ultimate weight loss program” How to turn on the divine power within.

I’ve found the book quite profound, and one I’ll want to read again and again and again. For in its pages is a simplicity and a wisdom I’ve rarely encountered, and want to be reminded of over and over again. So today we’ll talk about what we’re here for, where we’re going, what it all means, and why in the world “evil” in quotes even exists.

What the collective agreement is we’re all living under. Why the goal ---according to the guides—is not about happiness, which is really about contentment, which is resting in the known. Why the guides would prefer to move us into joy…and most importantly that this is all school and that we’re here to learn. Why it’s not about rose-colored glasses, but really about truth. Why thinking it’s all good or dark brings us more into alignment with the dark. Why you cannot be the light and hold another in darkness Why judgment is fear.

What’s the importance of not making choices based in fear. How does one know who they truly are and work on who you truly are. How do we get how ‘valuable’ we truly are.
