"Realists manage to run acceptance and hope in parallel." - Mark Pollock

ABOUT THE GUEST

"The most powerful distractors are our own emotions." ~ Daniel Goleman

ABOUT THE GUEST

Dr. Daniel Goleman is an internationally known psychologist who lectures frequently to professional groups, business audiences, and on college campuses. As a science journalist Goleman reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times for many years. His 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year-and-a-half, with more than 5,000,000 copies in print worldwide in 40 languages, and has been a best seller in many countries. Apart from his books on emotional intelligence, Goleman has written books on  topics including self-deception, creativity, transparency, meditation, social and emotional learning, ecoliteracy and the ecological crisis.

The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence— which discounts IQ as the sole measure of one’s abilities — “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea” and chose his article “What Makes a Leader” as one of ten “must-read” articles from its pages. Emotional Intelligence was named one of the 25 “Most Influential Business Management Books” by TIME Magazine. The Financial Times, Wall Street Journal and Accenture Insititute for Strategic Change have listed Goleman among the most influential business thinkers.

Goleman is a co-founder of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (www.casel.org), originally at the Yale Child Studies Center and now at the University of Illinois at Chicago. CASEL’s mission centers on bringing evidence-based programs in emotional literacy to schools worldwide.

He currently co-directs the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations (www.eiconsortium.org) at Rutgers University. The consortium fosters research partnerships between academic scholars and practitioners on the role emotional intelligence plays in excellence.

Goleman is a board member of the Mind & Life Institute, which fosters dialogues and research collaborations among contemplative practitioners and scientists. Goleman has organized a series of intensive conversations between the Dalai Lama and scientists, which resulted in the books Healthy Emotions, and Destructive Emotions. He is currently editing a book from the most recent dialogue on ecology, interdependence, and ethics.

Goleman’s work as a science journalist has been recognized with many awards, including the Washburn Award for science journalism, a Lifetime Career Award from the American Psychological Association, and he was made a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in recognition of his communicating science to the general public.

"If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable." 

That’s a line from Seneca—an OG high-performance philosopher. 

Seneca’s point is that setting goals is key. 

Without em’ you can work like crazy, grind all day and spin your wheels to no end. 

But setting any old goals won’t cut it. 

You’ve got to set the right goals, and set goals the right way. 

The good news is there’s some super solid neuroscience that shows us how to do this. 

On this call, myself and Steven Kotler and our performance coach Dr. Brent Hogarth are discussing the science of goal setting as it relates to kicking off 2021.

Dr. Brent Hogarth has earned a Master's in Sport Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. He currently resides in Vancouver, Canada.

He is an expert in training flow-state, mindfulness, and self-control for both sport and corporate athletes.

You’re going to love it. Here’s just some of what we’ll be covering:

We will discuss why the “R” in SMART goals destroys people's results.

You will learn how big you should make your goals (and how big is too big).

We will understand the 3 types of goals and how to set and achieve each type.

And you will also be surprised to learn why NOT aiming big is physically bad for you.

So make sure to stay until the end to soak up all the goodness.---If you order Steven's new book, The Art of Impossible, right now, you’ll get $1.500 USD of free bonuses immediately dropped into your inbox. They include secret chapters he has never released, masterclasses on key skills to help you jack up motivation, heighten creativity, and accelerate learning. You’ll also get an entirely free training to help you fight distraction and spend more time in flow. So click the link here, snag yourself a copy of The Art of Impossible, and let’s get after it. 👉 https://www.theartofimpossible.com/

Our guest today is Mark Matthews, an Australian professional big wave surfer with a truly extraordinary story.

On 25 October 2016 Matthews was working on a photographic shoot on the south coast of New South Wales when he was injured. He was being double towed in 6–8 foot waves when he was caught in a wave and landed feet first on a reef.

He suffered, " a broken leg, a dislocated knee, two snapped ligaments, major nerve damage, and an artery that tore lengthways, filling his leg with blood" and he was fortunate not to have his leg amputated.

He has deconstructed, fine-tuned, and personalized emotion and resilience techniques to successfully strengthen one’s mindset and sustain long term performance.

These techniques have helped him win an unprecedented three consecutive Oakley Big Wave Awards and cement him as one of the best big waves surfers in the world. 

You are in for a treat as we discuss how his learnings can be applied in everyday life and business.
