I almost snubbed this link a reader sent me… She is quite talkative, so I thought it was b.s… but integrity didn’t allow me to skip it.
And I watched it, and wept, and laughed, and felt that those of you who read my articles, and especially those of you who have been working with me one-on-one, in my Reclaim program, should recognize at least three parts where he said it better than I ever could…
So here is your challenge: Watch the video. It is arguably one of the best commencement addresses… and because it has elements of attitude and beingness that actually work…
OK, here is the youtube video… don’t just watch it. Find the parts with the teaching… It will make a difference for you.

The way to comment is to say the distinction/principle he mentions.
If you catch all three, I have a big gift for you. If you catch one… I still have a gift for you.

The way scientists, medical practitioners, diet-cults, pharmaceutical companies work is called linear reductionism… (( noun A cognitive bias refers to a systematic pat the idea one has of one’s abilities, appearance, and personality. Do you know that people see you differently than you see yourself? And both you and other people see you differently than you actually are. You may see yourself worse or better or just plain different than you really are… and so do others. Your life would work better if the two views were closer. You’d h Humans are meaning making machines… and unconscious of the fact that all meaning comes from them. We want to know what something means, so we can be prepared for the danger or the good fortune that the meaning carries inside … Continue reading → Related Posts: Does Your Life Lack Meaning?

An Organizing […] My name is Sophie Benshitta Maven This podcast is about The path to happiness, fulfillment, and a life lived well? there are two dramatically different approaches to self-growth. The first will give you advice on what to do and promises that all those many actions will surely take you to where you want to go. The second will use the Anna Karenina principle… where Lev Tolstoy says: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way., The Anna Karenina principle describes an endeavor in which a deficiency in any one of a number of factors dooms it to failure. Consequently, a successful endeavor (subject to this principle) is one where every possible deficiency has been avoided. My understanding is that if you teach that the strait and narrow of finding your way leads through avoiding all possible deficiencies, faults, and false moves, will lead you through the strait. You may be able to see people ahead of you in the strait, but no matter how hard you look, their actions may inform you, but the same actions, done by you may land you on the rocks… because most of what those people did was below the visible, even below their consciousness level. On the other hand you also see people who have landed on the rocks, and their failures, mistakes, delusions, and wrong approaches are more visible… Your job is to learn from both But how? You need to become a master of patterns and distinctions. It is not an accident that there are so few happy and successful people on the planet. Success without happiness is very frequent. Deficiency in any one of the areas of life will lead to diminished success and diminished happiness. Areas as sexual attraction, money issues, parenting, religion, in-laws Or for a life well lived, you can’t neglect your health, your finances, your social relationships, and your mental well being. thinking biases, cognitive. In my coaching, I take people through 67 steps where they contintually re-examine their lives in the face of 100 or so distinctions, patterns, and principles. Through this examination, people grow towards the light, even thought the principles were at what to avoid. This is the best coaching I have ever found and the results talk for themselves: people whose purpose is to grow, grow tall and straight and in the direction of happiness, success, and health. I just finished reading 1984, Orwell’s novel. I am not an American, so I never even heard about it until about 1984… In Hungary it is not a recommended reading. It was a traumatic experience for me, much like Brave New World was back in 1977 when I first read it. Much soul searching followed, I am not quite done with the soul searching. I mentioned to my driver that I read the book… and from her response, I think I was lucky: the best way to make an important b What they don’t know is that they live on the top of a huge iceberg of lies, delusions, pretenses, but they can only see the tip of the iceberg… unless. This week was a line of demarcation for me, in more ways than one. Stupidity? Yes, stupidity on a very deep selfish gene level. It’s not that they don’t understand the price they are paying. It’s that they make choices that the genes are making: not making waves, not bringing attention to themselves, not being different, fitting in is more important than being healthy, having energy, feeling good, calm, intelligent. Almost everything “social” is gene directed. I say “almost” because I am humble. I don’t know any social that is NOT gene directed, but there could be, maybe. So what do the genes want? The genes want to survive, and they want to pass into a new generation. Being liked, fitting in are Motto: Mentor: Someone whose hindsight can become your foresight In 1981 I got a letter from a man from Israel. He claimed to be a second cousin on my father’s side to me. He was coming to an educational conference in Hungary. He came with his wife. We spent time together, they were staying with me, in my one-bedroom high-rise apartment in Budapest. He visited with every member of my family, and witnessed their contempt for me first hand. He promised to be family to me if I decided to go to Israel. One year later I packed a suitcase and left Hungary. illegally. It was winter in Hungary when I left, in fact it w Update: This article was written two years ago, and a lot has happened, but we never again addressed these life-suckers… Since we are working on anchor-to-doom and the actions necessary to live a life not determined by the doom… we probably will need to talk about these minor anchors… the topic of this article. These keep us stuck, suck our aliveness, curtail our successes, and make us inauthentic and pretending. So they are important. Self-image: unless you see yourself doing it… you won’t do it.
Sounds simple, right? self-image means: how you see yourself… but nothing internal is as simple and as straight as that?
reductionism

1.
the theory that every complex phenomenon, especially in biology or psychology, can be explained by analyzing the simplest, most basic physical mechanisms that are in operation during the phenomenon.

The inner view and the outer view of who you are are vastly different. Your chances for success, love, happiness depend on the accuracy of your self-image. ((self-im·age
