Stimulus & Response

2. The Happiness Game


Listen Later

The Happiness Game. Marcus Aurelius and Shakespeare. Mindset as influencer and translator. Memory is unreliable. Pre-mortem. Grit—embrace the worst. Exposure therapy—immunize against. Mental models. N=1. Subject/object split. Tibetan masters on “same taste.” Pushing against homeostasis. Curiosity. Adaptability. "Move fast and break things." Inside, outside, and edges. “I love making mistakes!” Nervous -> excited. Go time vs. oh no time. Going where you look. Addiction therapy. Growth mindset. "Cool!"
