Jim Kwik has spent two decades teaching people how to learn and remember. Memory and intelligence are trainable skills, and reframing a slow learner's problem as a question of how to learn faster opens the way to real change. The conversation covers brain science, adult learning theory, multiple intelligences, flow, goal lists on pen and paper, a one book a week reading habit, and books such as Think and Grow Rich and Psycho-Cybernetics.
Scott Barry Kaufman joins Lewis Howes on The Daily Motivation to talk about fear and growth through a sailboat model of human needs. Security alone only brings a person from a deficit up to zero, so growth requires opening the sail toward exploration and love even before feeling fully safe. Discussion covers Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the Kaufman sailboat model, the insecurity cycle, B love, and deficiency versus growth motivation.
Dr. John Delony joins Lewis Howes, host of The School of Greatness, for a conversation about anxiety and mental health. Anxiety works like a smoke alarm signaling that something in a person's environment or relationships feels unsafe, so the useful response is to address the underlying problem. Topics include the smoke alarm analogy for anxiety, addiction as duct-taping a pillow over the alarm, sleep, marriage, plus The Body Keeps the Score.
Tony Robbins joins Lewis Howes on The Daily Motivation to talk about gratitude as the source of real wealth. Gratitude is the real secret to wealth, because a billionaire living in frustration has a frustrated life while a grateful person with little is rich. The conversation covers Priming, a morning routine built on gratitude, the idea that the secret to living is giving, the rule to buy in times of maximum pessimism, and his work with Feeding America through the Tony Robbins Foundation.
Shi Heng Yi joins Lewis Howes on The School of Greatness to discuss purpose and living a vision that is truly one's own. A life spent achieving an expectation borrowed from others can still leave a person without what they were looking for. The conversation covers the Heaven, Man, Earth framework, yin and yang, the five hindrances, and learning to accept failure.
