Winning Habits : 4 Secrets That Will Change the Rest of Your Life

Kevin Hogan; Dave Lakhani; Mollie Weighner Marti

When I first read The 12 Factors of Business Success I was still running my Group Coaching practice. I was instantly struck by how it could significantly help Executives in all aspects of their lives - please do not let the book title dissuade you. I was so enamoured with the lessons in 12 Factors that I started recommending it in place of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - the 12 Factors can be applied in all aspects of our lives to make a profound difference. The authors are all High Achievers in there respective fields and the lessons covered in 12 Factors are deep rooted in first hand experiences, ancient wisdom, and positive psychology (which incidentally also has its foundation in Aristotelian and Stoic teachings). 12 Factors aims to wake us out of a slumber of mediocrity and show us that if we sincerely want something, the potential to bring it into reality already exists within us, as Thomas Edison stated "If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." So how do we "astound ourselves?" The authors remind us that it's our `daily habits' that need to change to get different results. The authors repeatedly show throughout 12 Factors that "You become your behavior not your intentions and by doing so become not only a better human being but a higher achiever." I have read this book 4 times in the last 8 months and each time it just grows better and better - more at [...] Leer más…

This volume focuses on the interplay of mind and motion - the bidirectional link between thought and action. In particular, it investigates the implications that this coupling has for decision making. How do we anticipate the consequences of choices and how is the brain able to represent these choice options and their potential consequences? How are different options evaluated and how is a preferred option selected and implemented? This volume addresses these questions not only through an extensive body of knowledge consisting of individual chapters by international experts, but also through integrative group reports that pave a runway into the future. The understanding of how people make decisions is of common interest to experts working in fields such as psychology, economics, movement science, cognitive neuroscience, neuroinformatics, robotics, and sport science. So far, however, it has mainly been advanced in isolation within distinct research disciplines; in contrast, this book results from a deliberate assembly of multidisciplinary teams. It offers intense, focused, and genuine interdisciplinary perspective. It conveys state-of-the-art and outlines future research directions on the hot topic of Mind and Motion (or embodied cognition). It includes contributions from psychologists, neuroscientists, movement scientists, economists, and others. Leer más…

**Lasting Change For Early Quitters, Burnouts, The Unmotivated, And Everyone Else Too** When I decided to start exercising consistently 10 years ago, this is what __actually__ happened:* I tried "getting motivated." It worked sometimes. * I tried setting audacious big goals. I almost always failed them. * I tried to make changes last. They didn't. Like most people who try to change and fail, I assumed that __I__ was the problem. Then one afternoon--after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise--I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). __I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books and blogs.__ I was right. **Is There A Scientific Explanation For This?** As I sought understanding, I found a plethora of scientific studies that had answers, with nobody to interpret them correctly. Based on the science--which you'll find peppered throughout __Mini Habits--__we've been doing it all wrong. You __can__ succeed without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies as "getting motivated," New Year's Resolutions, or even "just doing it." In... Leer más…
