NOTES:
CAT STUDY: psychologist Edward Thorndike did an experiment on cats placed in a pitch-black box.
Each cat did what you’d think - scrambling around for minutes and freaking out! Clawing at walls. There was a lever that when the pressed door would open cat eventually found. Thorndike kept doing it to the same cats that escaped successfully. The response was after 20 or 30 times doing this avg cat escape in 6 seconds. It became habitual. Cats learned the power of habits - became conditioned and almost automatic. Saved all the panic of “OH MY GOD GOTTA ESCAPE!” -- Also got what they wanted FASTER with LESS effort: Out
You might be thinking: “Won’t habits make my life dull? Robotic? Where’s the fun/spontaneity/freedom!?” -- It’s the opposite. (i.e. me filming content first thing in the morning vs. stress no schedule have to) - discipline gives you freedom
ACTION // IMPLEMENT
What is ONE habit you KNOW would help you in 2.0 journey? (START DOING)
What is ONE habit you KNOW is holding you back at 1.0? (STOP DOING)
THINK ABOUT IT: Winners and losers have the SAME GOALS! Habits are what determines if you WIN or LOSE - NOT goals!
THE GOAL IS NOT TO read one book BUT TO become a reader
THE GOAL IS NOT TO make $1M dollars BUT TO become financially free
THE GOAL IS NOT TO workout daily BUT TO become someone at 10% body fat
Dopamine Addiction
In 1954 two neuroscientists ran an experiment testing desire - using electrodes that blocked the release of dopamine in rats… what happened? Less motivated? Lazy? Fat? WORSE! They DIED. NO desire to eat, drink, reproduce, or do anything else - died of thirst. All of them. Habits are wired into us ALL leading to one thing: avoiding pain and seeking pleasure!
4 LAWS of BUILDING HABITS:
Think about the habit from earlier
Make it obvious
Make it attractive
Make it easy
Make it satisfying
4 LAWS of BREAKING HABITS:
Think about your habit from earlier
Make it invisible
Make it unattractive
Make it difficult
Make it unsatisfying

[@AnjanPrasad]

Hi , Can you teach me what is a vision board and how to create it ...?

[@676bun]

Read this book a year ago. over the summer read "biology of belief" by Bruce Lipton, he talks about the subconscious mind as like a jukebox full of old records, these records were put there when you were a kid. If you never changed the records in your jukebox, then how can you get mad and kick the jukebox for not playing the songs you want to hear when things aren't going the way you want. We have to "put new records in our jukebox" if we want different results in our life, change your subconscious programs/ records.

[@TheVibeMindset]

You nailed it! No matter how many books we read or habits we look to change, change lies within the subconscious mind. Self-hypnosis or super learning while in a Theta brain wave state or an Alpha brain wave state is where the power lies!

[@hhhoneycomb]

Yes sir you nailed I’m working on changing my subconscious

[@concioubandit9046]

@@hhhoneycombcheck out the Jose Silva method it’s a simple meditation intended to get you to communicate with your sub consciousness

[@sunset33533]

“Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.” A good reminder from the book. I also like the workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels, as it teaches mindfulness, which is powerful.

[@nordin8242]

1. Exercising 5 times a week before 9 AM. 2. Procrastinating on my goals

[@Insolubilia78]

Hey Clark, thank you man. This is awesome! As far as massive change goes, when I need a change or I get the urge/feeling for a massive change I shave my head! It worked for me multiple times and I don't know why though. Another change is taking cold showers in the morning I feel like it's my reset button. Thanks again for the book summary. Need to read the book too. Take care.

[@michellesu1742]

Can you make a video on the video making process? How you use key concepts from books and perhaps how you ensure you've understood the books properly? I always find that when I talk abt books I end up quoting them precisely and I would love some tips

[@FrenshPerfume]

Thank you so much for sharing, Clark. Bless you.

[@Jean-ni6of]

I am now in my eighties. I stopped smoking forty years ago after about 25 years of Camels and or Chesterfields. I decided not to clean any astray until I quit. I did not clean them for this duration and while I don't remember how long my ashtrays when without cleaning, it worked for me. Could have been weeks or months but I haven't had nor wanted a cigarette since.

[@Cris-jj6yd]

Started going thu your videos I’m like definitely going to subscribe I like everything that you talk about as a creator. Love it if you keep the videos rolling. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@aristidetchate]

good

[@IreneKiew]

Clark, this was great content, thank you very much. A friend introduced me to this book and I have read the first two chapters, already I have received new helpful new insights that I can put into practice. I just wanna let you know that there were 3 ads in the middle of your video at various times and it interrupted your flow as well as disrupted my thought processes, pulling me out of the zone I was in when listening to you. Well, I know you gotta monetize somehow and it contributes to your bread and butter but at the same time, the ads do your content a disservice because they're so sudden and you sometimes get cut off in the middle of speaking about a thought or an idea. I don't know whether there's anything you can do about it, but I thought I'd let you know.

[@cosmicocean6687]

Our whole life is revolving around Instant gratification and dopamine addiction. We have created a good environment for bad habits.

[@nehalkoshairy]

Smashing that Like button even before watching the video 😅

Habit is the secret to manifestation. It is exponential in accomplishing anything you want.

[@alevtinametelskaya3343]

Thanks a million for a video, great one. How to break a bad habit to chew lots of sweets if I have a real sweet tooth? Or better how to change a system if I want to get shred but this addiction to sweets hold me back

[@hugolols55]

Atomic habits is so Fucking Addicting!!!!!

[@Leislady]

Super weird this popped up in my feed today- Im debating a move- thanks for pep talk.😎👍🏼 Side note- that “cant-have-anything-nice” punk mindset is real and was super hard to break.

[@lynettegreaves7172]

Can you list your books ?

[@mishirehan2106]

I need a proper process of breaking bad habit of Over thinking and how would I apply these steps into breaking that

[@lacedmentality]

I lost my shit when you said, “Even worse! They fucking died!” The delivery 👌👌 and information!! 🙌💕

the rat dopamine experiment still blows my mind

[@stevedonson1593]

Can you read neuropsychology of self discipline?

[@Kayakamuy]

That’s a big stack of sexy books lol 📚

[@tracymooredineen224]

What’s the name of your meditation headband ?

[@dariuscovaci5449]

1. Reading more books 2. Procrastinating too much even if I haven't got anything planned for the respective day

[@hambalamstudios6885]

"They f@*King DIED" and then I died, that was so funny

[@Malcolmdeeb]

I live in Scottsdale too. Sup, neighbor.

[@defaultworkouts]

I get my dopamine hit DAILY through working out and working out HARD. it is a LOT of pain. that sh|t ain't fun. and it takes a lot of planning and lots of changes in habits I had to make. being fit and not fat is NOT easy so make it a habit to make fitness a priority AND you better start liking pain because it is gonna hurt for life if you want that amazing body like I have built

[@bigsoftii]

You've come a long way since shirtless drumming with broken cymbals

[@alfonzobarber870]

I can read

[@DjR3aper]

1. 2.0 me tracks his calories better, he's buff 2. Procrastinating

[@lucidwords5294]

If i fall according to this book - i should get to the same exact spot again ? cause if i fall from 30+ minutes of meditation its very hard to get back to 30+ minutes (as opposed to 5 minutes again) - but according to this book you should get to same place after the fall (to not break the chain) ?

[@briankelly8489]

YOUR VIDS ARE HELPING SOOOO MUCH. THANK UUU. IF YOU HAVE TIME PERHAPS A VID. ON MAKING GOOD FRIENDS. REAL TALKING OVER THE PHONE FRIENDS.

Procrastination!!!!!!

[@alfonzobarber870]

I can stop pmo

[@andrewmarciano2449]

I had an issue with page 106. There were quite a few gross generalizations, as well as blatantly incorrect statements. When he said “one does not get a dopamine spike when they do cocaine but when they see cocaine”, I had a major problem with that. Cocaine gives you dopamine that’s quite literally all it does. There were a few things here and there that were incorrect. I think that the book is of great utility, However I believe it is poorly written.

[@auraezen]

1 organize my time with schedules 2 stop doing... wasting my time

[@davidshillito]

Did you break up with someone at the 2 min 50 sec mark, Clark?
