Zenlarge Show

Have you surrounded yourself with people who support your growth? Do they give you energy or steal your energy?

I was recently a guest on the radio show Between the Lines with host Corine La Font. We discussed the importance of personal development. Our conversation quickly went in the direction of other people's reaction to you. How do they respond when they discover you are on a personal development journey? Why is their response often "negative?" And why is it important to surround yourself with positive people?

We cover all of this and more. Click the play button above and listen to the podcast.

What if rewarding your child psychologically damaged them?

Best Selling author, Alfie Kohn, joins Stephen Patterson and I for a discussion about parenting and education. For some people, it's a hard sell that punishment is bad for children. Don't they need discipline? Plus, the whole spare the rod spoil the child thing.

Others are on board with not punishing, but surely praise and gold stars are a good thing, right? Isn't positive reinforcement good?

Alfie presents the case, using study-based scientific evidence, that rewards are not the opposite of punishments, they are two sides of the same coin. Both are psychologically damaging. Both are not ideal for effectively encouraging (or discouraging) behavior.

Have you tried to make positive changes in your life, only to not be able to stick to them? Chances are you're relying on will power.   Will power is a limited resouce. It runs out. So don't rely on it.   The key to sustained, lasting change is forming good habits. Habits are things you do automatically. They don't need will power. Thus they are easy to stick to.   Today's show is the first in my new "Principles" series. These podcasts will cover the fundamental precepts I teach to my coaching clients. Understanding habit formation is foundational to sustained success. That is why I made it the first episode in the series. Everything else builds off of this.   Click the play button above and give the show a listen.

• the five pillars of good health
• motivation for making health a priority
• how to get healthy with minimal trade offs
• low hanging fruit to improve your health
• being healthy without sinking a bunch of time
• being a minimalist while being healthy
• being frugal while being healthy
• why you can cancel your gym membership

• mobility
