I just had one of the most productive Sunday Rant call 1 ever… and I just finished the third book in the Freak series, Think Like a Freak.
Because it is about thinking, and because it is about frames it is right up our alley at this point in time. Continue reading “Why your brain doesn’t make you a winner… Or is your brain to blame?”
When it comes to health and productivity, it’s not just about what you do — eating right, exercising, and working hard — it’s also about when you do it.
Chronobiology is the study of internal clocks, how they differ among people, and how you can adjust your daily schedule to suit your unique biological rhythm. Each person’s rhythm, or chronotype, is different.
According to psychologist and sleep specialist Dr. Michael Breus, there are four chronotypes, which he labels dolphins, lions, bears, and wolves. Roughly half the population is made up of bears; the rest is split among dolphins, lions, and wolves.
Breus’ website includes a diagnostic quiz readers can take to try to identify their chronotype.
In Breus’ book “The Power of When,” he outlines the ideal daily routine for each chronotype. Below, you’ll find the highlights of those schedules.
Keep in mind that it’s virtually impossible to have a perfect day every day, so make the changes you realistically can.

No sense of humor? You just answered the question in the title..
What does it mean about you what you know and what you don’t know? or how much you know…
It means nothing about you. And yet we all pretend to know stuff… stuff we don’t know. Stuff we can’t know.
It is, to me, the most counter intuitive behavior, but I must be a freak, because I would never pretend to know something I don’t know.
There must be a mistaken belief that if you know something you are better. Smarter.
This is one of the detrimental results of living on the Tree of Knowledge, where you don’t enjoy life, where you don’t experience fulfillment, love, happiness, because it is impossible to experience on the Tree of Knowledge.

We had a fabulous session in the From Upset To Communication course yesterday.
One of the things a good course leader does regularly, is ask people the question what they are up to.
What are you up to? What is the purpose that makes it worth for you doing this course?
The purpose of communication is to make something happen through other people: more love, more money, more prestige, peace, sell more, make an agreement… the something is not defined. Lots of things. Continue reading “A life worth living… But what is a life worth living?”
Countries, people, soul corrections, have different attitudes to doing things. 2
Hungary (country), Finish What you Start (soul correction), England (country, ethnicity), especially, have an attitude of “How hard can it be?”
And they fancy themselves all-knowing, all-expert at everything.
My brother calls this the “do it yourself” culture.
And utter disrespect for people with experience, education, expertise. Or for skills, expertise, experience, and learning.
I worked as an architect in Hungary, for 11 years. Every client knew everything better. They considered me their guy who puts the stamp to their plan so they can get a building permit.
My brother was in a different profession, and his experience was the same: no humility, no sense of what it takes to actually be good at something, to see things fully. Continue reading “How hard can it be? he said while grinding the gears”
The world has never been so divided.
The dividing criteria is intellectual and spiritual abilities, the ability to tell truth from falsehood. To interact with reality the way reality is… not how it should be.
The stupid is becoming stupider, and the smart remains the same. Said in another way: the underachiever is stuck there… and more are joining him. 3
In this article I’ll look what may be a linchpin issue, and how you can start moving from the hopelessly stupid to the smart camp.

There is an arc to this article… I arrive to the answer after a journey to it, in the second half…
What is the reason that some people learn and grow, while others stagnate?
I read an interesting sentence in an old marketing book:
“Generally we don’t decide we want to get married and then pick the person who seems to be the most desperate to get married and propose to them.”
In that document, TheMissingChapter, the author talks about selecting a business to pursue, but what he says applies to any aspect of life.
Desperation is a very poor advisor, it makes you incoherent.
The worst mistake a service provider can make is cater to desperate people.

Wrestling back the steering wheel of your life from ADD, frustration, depression, anger, and more
“It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.”
Of all the 10 starting point measurements, the most telling is your TLB score.
It tells me, and it tells you, how much discomfort you are able to experience and not run away mentally, emotionally, or physically. And therefore it tells you whether you can have the good life, health, wealth, love and fulfillment… or not.
Its activating mechanism is below your conscious awareness, and is quite habitual.
In modern parlance they call it “Attention Deficit”… but it’s B.S.
As long as there is no structural difference between an ADD person’s brain and a person who can stay planted… attentive, it is more a habit than a disease. Continue reading “Wrestling back the steering wheel of your life from…”
Why? Because the majority is always wrong.
In most cases majority/minority is an extreme proportional inequality: 98-99% to 1~2%
The other extreme is: 90% to 10%, meaning: the “good, productive, true” is never higher than 10%.
There was an Italian economist and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto (1848–1923) who noticed this pattern: that the distribution of income, brain, etc. is not even, not equal, but grossly unequal.
They call this the Pareto’s Principle or the 80-20 principle, but if you are a stickler for precision, like I am, you will know that my numbers are closer to how it is than 80-20. Continue reading “The more popular something is, the more likely that it is low vibration, and not true.”
One such wise person was Ann Landers. Here are some of her quotes: all of them are profound, all of them are recognized patterns, based on the thousands of letters she answered in her long career.
Ann Landers quotes
“All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest – never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principles of equal partnership.”
“Anyone who believes the competitive spirit in America is dead has never been in a supermarket when the cashier opens another check-out line.”
“Asking a writer what he thinks about critics is like asking what a fire hydrant feels about dogs.”
“at every party there are two kinds of people – those who want to go home and those who don’t. the trouble is, they are usually married to each other.”
