Daniel Goleman on Focus: The Secret to High Performance and Fulfilment

Psychologist Daniel Goleman shot to fame with his groundbreaking bestseller Emotional Intelligence. Raw intelligence alone is not a sure predictor of success in life. A greater role is played by 'softer' skills such as self-control, self-motivation, empathy and good interpersonal relationships.

People can't achieve the technological knowledge demanded by the market because that changes very fast. The Progressive Growth of the Money Supply Principle (year 2013) will stop this madness, because the Principle tells us the exact quantity of new money the economy needs to works correctly, driving us to the Wicksell interest rate or natural interest.

well now it all adds up bc im bipolar 😭😭😭

[@Dman9fp]

@@swimmerzo There's lots of flavors of bipolar. Not sure how much he went into it-- but yeah-- There are whole systems of the mind controlling us outside our active consciousness. Some say it is like another person. This is what ad companies target to win us over. Our feelings/ intuition/ subconcious, or whatever you wanna call it. Of course yes, when we observe it, the irrational parts can be brought to light and corrected/ prevented. Of course stress/ very stressful situations muddle things up/ if we are or become sensitive enough, things can go out of our control (the higher order thinking parts of the brain shut off and subconscious literally takes over when we are stressed enough; the brain is a funny thing, but makes sense evolutionarily when being attacked at least, for sure. Anxiety is a killer too tho, and the demons can be imaginary yet all too real in the mind. Gratitude and working on resilience/ prevention can go a long ways)

Méditation is just based on that, when you pay attention to your breath and avoid being distracted by your thoughts you can calm your mind. Our thoughts change the way that we feel, which subsequently changes the way that we act. It's called the cognitive triangle and it's the foundation of CBT therapy.

[@elfullin]

This is only one layer of meditation. Some schools don’t consider using mental force or energy to bring back focus as meditation. Instead, letting the mind wander BUT being the watcher of the mind, is of a higher and deeper level of consciousness. To bring back the mind from wondering required you to entangle yourself with it. Subverting your awareness for thought.

I have adhd. I would love for our brains to be studied. Many of us are highly intelligent and have an incredibly fast ability to comprehend and learn because our focus could not be on that object for long. We have no internal motivation or reward system, have a poor executive function system, and yet creatively find ways to make it through life surrounded by neurotypical people. The world isn't built around our brains and it's needs, so our existence alone requires incredible feat and perseverance. You discussed how distracting our world has become, however it's only a fraction of what our world has always been, including when our brains were being developed and habits were being learned, plus we endured huge social stigma by people who don't understand the condition.

Great observation.

[@patrickgrengs8552]

What you choose to interpret as preexisting anger is the expression of a very well-researched field. The science on race, in terms of morphology, physiology, biochemistry, intelligence, delayed gratification, disease resistance, behavior, performance and culture make it vitally clear that there exist vast differences between the races. Race is real. Race exists. As such, there are individuals who look upon race as Race Realists. Do you have a tough time differentiating between a Pygmy and a Western European? That bell curve very simply and beautifully illustrates why Africa and Haiti are brazenly high-fertility, corruption-plagued hell-holes and why Ashkenazi Jews have earned a vastly disproportionate number of Nobel prizes. As the member of the audience pointed out in the question, reporting on these differences often gathers the wrath of the indignant who would rather ignore the painfully obvious and anoint the 'underprivileged' as victims. To wit: It is scarcely the same thing to put a man on the moon as to put a bone in your nose.

For the sake of reference... 1. The concept of "flow" is introduced around 11:28 2. The story of the corporate lawyer who had a brain operation starts at 16:30 3. The breathing exercise to build your focus starts at 25:00 ("Attention is a mental muscle...") 4. "Our emotions are contagious..." 50:22 or so.

THANK YOU SIR, very helpful！

[@lemostjoyousrenegade]

Thank you, Reid! 🦋🕊💜 Now we have "chapters" (or bookmarks) for this visual book that will help us focus on or revisit the content in which we're most interested. ⚡🎯❗️ Love & Blessings to you!

The answer to the last question hits me. My mother always tried to protect me from anything and I know for sure that's why, even today, I'm still timid (less than before but not much). I think it's the thing I needed to hear to start challenging myself in social situations, like going to talk to a woman face-to-face for example. Thank you Daniel Goleman! By the way, his book about emotional intelligence is a must read. I will read it again in the futur if I still have it. A huge book but there's a lot to learn from it.

[@sianhassan6172]

Things have changed since 2013 and yet somehow, are exactly the same. Our "attention economy" has grown even more saturated and continues to optimise itself, so this talk is even more relevant than it was back then. The information within it is essential to improving the future of our society.

Fantastic! Thank you so much Daniel Goleman this is exceedingly important.

[@hot4me87]

fantastic, great presentation and I learned so much from you, thank you!

[@glowfo7708]

Thanks very much for this lecture. I'm actively working to Solve the Problems described, and this has connected a few dots in my flaws, and also greatly accelerated the Synthesis of my Community and EcoSystemic Regeneration Project. Thanks 💙

[@nubianra6965]

Thank you Mr. Goleman, you are a wonderful speaker, I learned something from you. Wow I love this guy!

beautiful!!!!!!loved watching this

So many great points in this talk. Meditation has changed my own life so I can personally attest that it’s truly a panacea.

[@paullangton-rogers2390]

Addiction is far more complicated but it's true some people are more likely to become addict-types from an early age. Addition is often a way of handling stress a feedback loop system where a person drinks, smokes or uses drugs to control and manage negative feelings, a coping mechanism that becomes integral to that persons sense of well-being. Also a form of escapism for many to avoid dealing with those internalised feelings. And even a form of self-sabotage avoidance to avoid doing things, facing fears, rejection or failure.

"Sesame Street have lessons based in science, wrapped in entertainment." AMAZING

[@Matira269]

This is similar to how fables are usually constructed to reflect truth. Two that come to mind are, 'The Pied Piper', and 'The Emperor Is Naked'. These have stuck with me from childhood, and I have seen the scenes play out from that time and always understood the truths that were imparted back then!

"The Secret of Finishing", Conor Neill, Ted Talk is a good companion lecture to this one by Goleman. Goleman gets through the most dense dialectical stream so conversationally that it belies the weight of the content. Very Good ones, All.

[@Dolph1nie]

53:20 .... His voice is amazing omg... he has a voice you would hear on a science documentary

[@immers2410]

Great voice for Fox News

[@ashrafal-junaid3864]

that first question had a eugenic vibe to it and the professor delt with it AMAZINGLY!

[@benreddick7925]

I started watching this very late at night. Fascinating but my focus was such that I woke up to find I was at 52:57. Oh dear. Will restart.

[@nanayaaaikins2380]

Very funny

The best video I have watched in a very long time!!

Sir you were an eye opener with Emotional and Social intelligence. I never knew you are such a great speaker.

[@theinvestmentdoctor8178]

STOPPED COUNTING how many times I've watched Daniel's videos. Thank you Daniel, you helped me improve my teaching techniques for my students🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CaptainManic2010]

Mr Goleman you've been a hero of mine since I first read your book on EQ. Thank you so much for your amazing work.

[@growden100]

I love this man. Great talk.

[@pratikdagu]

This is the first youtube video i have watched without skipping or speeding up. The information is old but more relevant in todays world. Will watch it 2 more times to actually condense and apply.

[@guimacarioable]

Such an amazing person!! Thankful for the knowledge shared here!

[@catherineturner3166]

The main thing I learned was re-focusing from our mind wandering enhances our brain connections.. I need to practice this!

[@keishaleitogores3344]

I like listening to lectures or speeches while doing tedious jobs. I don't know if it is good for my brain to multi-task, but it just keeps me going to do boring work, like homework, household chores and sometimes at work too. It's kinda ironic that I'm listening to this video about attention while at the same time doing my math homework 😅.

[@keishaleitogores3344]

@@kuwandak I am using calculator 😆. My algebra homework is usually 50 questions. Same concept different numbers and letters. I have to do it over and over again. It gets boring.

This has been the top recommended video to the point I used to think it was an ad. I finally decided to give it a try.

[@Shaftalooooo]

I feel very connected during your Q&A😂😂😂 British accent never fails me

[@moffattF]

Fulfills the classical definition of a professor. Someone who talks in the sleep of others. Good content but condensed version would be highly appreciated.
