Why would renowned associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University Cal Newport shun social media and keep ultra tight tight restrictions on his own technology usage? Because he desires to master his life, peace and productivity and he knows the limiting power of unleashed electronics in his life. Imagine waking up and immediately eating a donut. Getting ready for work and having a breakfast of...donuts. On the way to work, have a donut. As a matter of fact, you just keep a dozen with you at all times and rarely let 15-20 minutes go by without at least having a bite. I mean, what harm is there in just a bite here and there? But by day’s end you never had enough room in your belly to get any good nutrition in and you feel a bit woozy from all the sugar and carbs, even as you sneak a couple bites as your head hits the pillow and you try to get some sleep, which is disturbed by the days intake of junk. Or constant spending of your money? We all know we must budget our nutritional intake and financial expenses. We know we can’t binge on anything continuously. But in a short amount of time, our electronics and devices have crept in and many of us find ourselves on a near non-stop diet. What is it doing to us? This is our topic today. As I mentioned, Cal Newport is an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University and the author of six books, including his most recent, Digital Minimalism - Choosing a focused life in a noisy world. Two of his books, Deep Work “Rules for focused success in a distracted world” and So Good They Can't Ignore You are books I’ve heard so many world influencers reference. It was the testimony of Michael Hyatt that prompted me to do this interview with Cal. You won't find Cal on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, but you can often find him at home with his family in Washington, DC, or writing essays for his popular website calnewport.com. Gratefully, he took time to have an in depth conversation with us. We all need to hear this message.

As your body is the physical vehicle for all you do here on earth, this episode is about having it in great working order. As we continue to look at the best foods to fuel our bodies, we now turn to fat. Most of grew up where fat was the enemy, so everything went to no fat or zero fat and we Americans got…fatter. As quoted by the NCBI, National Center for Biotechnology Information: The prevalence of obesity changed relatively little during the 1960s and 1970s, but it increased sharply over the ensuing decades—from 13.4% in 1980 to 34.3% in 2008 among adults and from 5% to 17% among children during the same period. Then...the national adult obesity rate has increased by 26 percent since 2008 and today the U.S. adult obesity rate stands at 42.4 percent, the first time the national rate has passed the 40 percent mark. No fat has made us fat. Now let me clarify; a pint of Ben & Jerry’s is 16 oz, and if I have it, I eat it all. The whole pint. A pint of Chubby Hubby has 1,320 calories and 80g of fat. A 16 oz slab of salmon has 944 calories and 59g of fat. However that Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby also packs in 140g of sugar and the salmon has zero. The fat you want is from fish, meat, olives, avocado, seeds and nuts, and some dairy...but not the Ben & Jerry’s kind. Stay tuned and we’ll help you decipher what fast will serve you best.

A Guide To The Most Beneficial Fats For Your Drive

Friends, this is a conviction I’m frustrated by and hopeful with. We are all wanting to better ourselves. We want it so we think differently and act differently and get better results. This is what fulfills us, and it’s what serves others best. So we truly want to grow and progress, but we take in untold amounts of information, we get inspired, and the months go by and we wonder, “Have I changed?” I spend an hour on a Zoom call with a renowned therapist yesterday and we boiled down to this essence. For change to happen, we must have an immersive experience. What does that look like? Let me explain.

The Only One Way To Transform - You Must Immerse Yourself

Most of us work in order to make money. I’m going to assume that’s you. And making money is important. For this discussion, we’re going to take a look at the concept of work you enjoy outside of money. My dad, Dan Miller, wrote the book, 48 Days To The Work You Love. If you haven’t read it, go now to 48days.com and get a copy, just like over two million other people have done. Ultimately I’m looking at fulfilling work. You may not love it all the time. It may not feel like play all the time. Mine doesn’t. But man, is it fulfilling. I don’t see this as a luxury. The more fulfilled you are in your work, the better work you’ll do and it will serve everyone best. You, your family, your friends, your customers, and the world. So following is a short series of questions to ask that will help get you on the path to clarity.

How To Find Out What You Really Want To Do For Work

In the last episode I had James R Doty on the show. James is a neurosurgeon, a professor at Stanford, and author of Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation And How It Changes Everything. I keep hearing feedback about the show and what most people are responding to is the concept of focusing on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Our survival oriented, fear and negativity biased minds give primary focus to what we don’t want. This is incredibly important. It’s monumental and fundamental to the lives and realities we find ourselves in. Let me walk you through the eight key areas of life and give you a quick example you will easily grasp, and can immediately put into action.

Friends, speaking of the 8 key areas of life, there is nothing I am more passionate about that helping people clarify what authentically drives them, and getting them in alignment. I have a special fondness for helping people work at what drives them. Notice I didn’t say, get you driven to work. That’s where we get it backwards. I want you working, at what drives you. If invite you to email me. Let’s talk. I promise a personal response. kmiller@kevinmiller.co.

8 Desires To Get Clarity On So You Can Avoid Accidentally Manifesting Your Fears

I’ve continued to be skeptical of the whole “manifesting” concept, until now. As I’ve finally shown and convinced that I have been and always am manifesting most of my life. I don’t believe I’m all powerful or that I am God. But I do find that I generally reap what I sow. What my mind dwells on seems to come to pass, and my mind…our minds…naturally tend toward negative thoughts. If I keep thinking I don’t want to get sick, I don’t want to get sick, my subconscious just comprehends a constant focus on sickness. And goes to work towards it. What I need to do is focus on being well. Being well. Being well. And let my subconscious work on that. Let it bolster my immune system and let it steer me toward feeling positive and optimistic and increasing my awareness of making better health choices and avoiding things that weaken me. To expound on this topic from a scientific perspective, I bring you James R. Doty. James is a brain surgeon. His playground is the brain. And he has studied the concept of manifesting from a neurological standpoint and leaves the woo-woo out of the conversation. Dr Doty has been on the faculty of the Stanford University School of Medicine since 1997 in the Neurosurgery Department as a professor and more recently as an adjunct professor. He is also the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford, of which His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the founding benefactor. James’ new book is Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation And How It Changes Everything. I admittedly brought up faith and God and I feel they can and do coexist. But you can listen in and decide for yourself. But James bring us to consider neurological issues like “value tagging” and our “selective attention system” and a concept I feel is really tangible called “target fixation” which often gets brought up in regards to motorcycle accidents, where when a rider becomes so fixated on an unwanted target ahead that causes them to unconsciously steer into the direction of their gaze. Focus on where you want to go, not on where you don’t want to go. That concept alone covers a lot of ground on what the neuroscience of manifesting reveals for us. This is more than hopeful. I feel it’s revelatory
