@Watcher505 nowadays, Google Talk is more update than TEDX my bro. This is my main vitamin to continue my limitless life.

I loved the part about overtraining on purpose so that training works even in high-stress situations. Thank you for sharing this talk.

[@attilatech]

@Joanne I have watched thousands of videos in the last ten years and I love your description of this as consuming information. I am working on a list of my favorite talks and videos. If you tell me a bit about yourself I can recommend a few directions. Until then, Tom Bilyeu and his channel are good sources and also TED talks. Check out some of his videos. kzbin.info/door/nYMOamNKLGVlJgRUbamveAfeatured

fun, fear and focus: Fun get to work in an area that you are good at, fun is the purpose, something surprise, something funny. Fear: try new things, push the boundaries, challenge exceeds the skillset, do thing that is a bit difficult, create a deadline, experiment new things. Focus: don't multitask, when you play tennis match you don't stop in the middle of the game to answer a phone - that's crazy. when you try to focus you will release a certain chemical. So close the door, block notification, and find a work that is interesting and you care so you don't get easily distracted. Create a working environment that is fun, then the focus will come naturally. Improve the level of fun and inprove the level of fear and focus will come naturally.

Fantastic talk, great questions. Thank you! Really enjoyed this.

A great book to read on this subject is ‘Flow.’

[@harrylen1688]

Agues there is so many factors, for example nutritional deficiency can make difference too But in overall the Video was a truly Gem :) Thanks Google!

[@JamesBradyGames]

A very entertaining and informative talk, many thanks for sharing these helpful insights! I can't wait to see a version with the other brain parts :-)

[@iplayukulele]

This is a wonderful presentation. God only knows how to say Friederike but I definitely fell in love with you! God bless

I like the way she says pre frontal cortex

It's kinda sweet but in the same moment kinda unbearable. I'm confused. Still, very interesting talk, thank you!

One-frame tricks in video games is when things get really hard and she might agree if explained. But, speedrunning and fighting games and wherever else one-frame tricks are found in gaming... it IS niche, I'm not sure if one-frame tricks apply in FPS games I know they have in the past but whether or not Fortnite contains that I don't know. What I'm getting at is, if you can learn to play something very technical on an instrument, any musician can appreciate that, doing something amazingly technical within a game, might only apply to that version of the game, and broader, within gaming itself. Put another way, music is more universal than gaming. Yet, games contain music, so it's an interesting thing to think about. Daigo's 3rd Strike full parry into max damage combo vs. Justin Wong comes to mind. Games without complete information and the strategy involved is crazy. More complex than Go, in many cases. I mean, in Go you're thinking move by move (without a timer?), in games you're thinking move by move too but the moves happen simultaneously at a very fast rate with many inputs and combinations of inputs possible. Honestly, extend your passion to a scientific/mathematical level, whatever it is. The problem is when you stop learning. At a certain point it seems in every discipline you have to take from other disciplines, diversity, versatility, adaptability, paradox, etc. philosophy is important too

a brilliant speaker. I wish I could pay a little.

[@itsalljustimages]

Funny I was reading Aristotle's Rhetoric today and there is a stanza in the book which covers everything that is pleasant. Pleasant relates to Dopamine. How wonderful these thinkers were and also, we are running in circles in terms of knowledge, we are finding newer ways to assert old knowledge. I tend to keep notes of what I read here, so the notes of Rhetoric is here (still incomplete): cupitor.online/article/168

[@thereGoMapo]

We are re-discovering old knowledge - and we will be for a very long time. Everyone starts anew when they are born.

[@CantPickTheNameIwant]

it is a myth: we are not rediscovering, we are building a system where each fact has its own place and proof, and described with proper terminology, this is much bigger than just observations of ancients, which were correct from time to time. But anyways with all respect to ancients, they started a foundation of modern science

[@commanderofkesariyaknights]

Same thing happened in our company training, they told u u have leadership potential to be in these training, we went for days off and hot trainers

[@tomdavies3296]

Thinking, fast and slow

[@NS-wo6ze]

The audience will leave this presentation with the same expectations. Google employs self motivated and team players.The presenter is giving a 'Do' 'Don't' work ethic. To be fair, it is relevant; but dopamine and focus must come from life's essentials -a good work environment, healthy food, exercise and fun which is not short lived but sustained through personal development.

[@faridrezaei8180]

I totally disagree about the statement about habits that once they come, they won't go. I killed myself to be awake on 6am in mornings. A friend of mine came to our home and we waked around 10 am for a couple of days. Now I can awake on time like before.

[@chensun6156]

Simplistic. The body provides a feedback mechanism to the primal and advanced parts of the brain, and all parts need to be working together harmoniously. Speaker is limiting her focus on the "brain", and missing the feedback to the brain, and why these might not work together. Wrong inputs-- wrong processing.

[@muteloch2798]

No Chen, she is focusing on one domain of interaction, i.e. between the Pre-frontal Cortex and the Basal Ganglia and its impact on performance. She is being quite scientific by isolating the effect of this synergy in her analysis.

[@chensun6156]

@@muteloch2798 Thanks. I may have missed something. Where in the video is she stating it's one domain of interactions? And also, where does she limit her extended claim to actual implemented successful practice. In another word, if this is one factor (and she might be right), where is she stating such and further stating there aren't others that may greatly limit?

[@markcaseon7136]

Ritalin, Adderall and Modafinil are commonly used for focusing.

But I thought the marshmellow test had been debunked/disproved.

[@borivilli]

It should be. How can any test taken when you are young predict your future success? It is like saying that we don't mature as we get older.

[@OneManStartup]

Exactly and It seems Friederike Fabritius is just a seller of a cliche. I bet she is not even a scientist. She didn't cites anything. No slides. Salesman techniques. I didn't get from this presentation new information.

[@avneeshdesai]

@@OneManStartup People who cite while talking are really not worth listening to, are you one?

[@avneeshdesai]

She uses it as a supporting evidence in a body of evidence. Surely, you believe there to be some truth in the concept behind marshmellow test

She pronounces dopamine, so oddly. "DOPA-meme"

And pre forto cortex. Maybe she is stuck in the basil ganglia 😊

open desk work environment at office reduces social interaction i disagree , people in a closed environment can spend hours doing nothing and just sitting and wasting their time.
