Figure   it out!Myke and Mike begin a discussion regarding division vs diversity, They continue to ask the two diagnostic   questions of what is this doing to me,   and what can I do about it. It follows   in line with Why do People Act that Way. Enjoy, it is the 1st of 2 podcasts on this particular subject.

Myke and Mike   continue the journey through their book, "Why Do People Act That Way?   (And What Can I Do About It?)" This is the last complex (The B of PEMB)   in understanding your reality. In human behavior, trillions to the exponent   of trillions of behaviors are possible. We reduce the concept to just TWO   aspects! We hope you enjoy it.

Myke   and Mike continue their explanation of PEMB: Perceptions, Emotions,   Motivations and Behaviors from their book, "Why Do People Act That Way?   (And What Can I Do About It?)" This episode focuses on the M of PEMB:   Motivations. What is the fluidity factor in Motivations? What's fluid and   what's solid, and why? Why don't I do what I say I will do? Why do I keep   doing what I say I won't do - at least, I tell myself and others I won't keep   doing it...? Enjoy!

Myke   and Mike continue to explain their work out of their book, "Why Do   People Act That Way? (And What Can I Do About It?)" as they explain The   5 Basic Emotions: Acceptance, Exposure, Empowerment, Depletion &   Celebration. This is part of the PEMB system, Perceptions, Emotions,   Motivations and Behaviors. Can't you just call these five emotions Love,   Fear, Anger, Sadness and Happiness? The system is greater than just one   example in it, so we created some "bigger" language to talk about   the concepts and then work with the specifics within each one. You'll get a   lot out of this episode, and may have lots of questions.

Why Do   People Act That Way? In the next 4 podcasts, Myke and Mike discuss the 4 main   complexes known as PEMB: Perceptions, Emotions, Motivations and Behaviors. We   can talk about them as independent concepts, but they really are interactive   in each person's experience of reality. These 4 complexes are in their book,   and key to their training of "Why Do People Act That Way? (And What Can   I Do About It?)" (The book is available on Amazon as a print-on-demand,   e-book or audiobook.)
