Search Inside Yourself | Chade-Meng Tan | Talks at Google

[@patrickwang5522]

My note for the ones who need it and wish you be happy (disclaimer: the note are not gaurantee to be accurate) ● Horse and rider. Potentially emotion is like a horse and we let them control us. By training mindfulness we can control it. ○ By doing this you can have strong self awareness, remain calm and confident in crisis, create optimism and resilience. ● Emotional intelligence is the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ fellings and motions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions. ● You can learn about exercise, but you have to do it. same to emotional intelligence ● It is trainable to let your mind be calm and clear mind on demand ● Mindfulness is paying attention in a particular way on purpose in the present moment non-judgmentally. ● Mindfulness is also like a flag pole, no matter your mind as a flag is being blown it but it stays there. ● three step of training ○ Attention training ■ Doing mindfulness, ○ Self knowledge and self mastery ■ create resolution (spatial and temporal), vividness (signal to noise) and substantially (seeing yourself objectively from a third-person perspective ■ Insula relate to three things ● awareness sensation (aware of your body) ● aware emotion ● empathy ■ If you have high resolution to your emotion, you will change from I am happy to I am experiencing happiness in my body. (from Existential to physiological) ○ Create useful mental habits ■ kindness (you want the other to be happy) ■ habit of human similarity (three points) ● this person is a human being just like me ● this person wants to be happy just like me ● this person want to free from suffer just like me ● Homework ○ Mindfulness to the breath ○ random intention of kindness. look at any human in random and just think want the person to be happy

i started meditating 1 year ago with 10 minutes per day and now i am at 30 minutes a day (morning) and i can complete agree with chade-meng. the thing really works. :-) i combined it with a little bit of cardio training. i am 42 now and i am in the best shape since i am alive and i feel so good. great thing! :-)

[@JessieOng029]

So meditation allows u to know urself on spiritual level? How long u start seeing results

[@15vista15]

28:07 My mind is a sky. The emotions are clouds occupying the mind, but they're not the mind.

[@keithkerrigan9227]

i wish more people in the world, would look up things like this on youtube!

[@iph0ne110]

Thank you Talks at Google and Chade-Meng Tan!!

[@abhicsmnnit]

I want this Man to be Happy forever... :)

[@1977dophin]

I have been meditating for a few years now Meng, but am amazed by your book and your example. You demystify the practice. Your book is one of the best I have read in this area, if not the best. I know I am gushing, but this had to be said. May you create further conditions for world peace. I am doing what little I can on my end.

[@charlesjackson3222]

Mindfulness is a powerful way of achieving mental success, through meditation, and loving all humans, as God, intended.

[@delfy1371]

i like his joyfulness in front of so many serious people... its a good example.

[@karthikraghunathan4742]

1. I cherished 'oh no it's that meng guy again' funny site for a long long time. passed it around on forums too .Found it to be very informative also. 2. I noticed you introduce Rick Hanson's book. Only now do I know 1 and 2 are the same person. I think this video's just fantastic in terms of how easy it is to understand, and how relevant the content is. Thank you !!

[@PeaceAkaShanti]

JollyGood talk Meng. Great Job. More powers to you...to achieve World Peace. You are on right track.

[@JoseMiguelRosillo]

This is brilliant. I have a similar vision and I feel so happy knowing there are people like you working on things like this. I believe in you with all my heart and I wish you all the happiness that your big engineer brain can muster ;).

[@Redflowers9]

I would also say that compassion needs to be taught in schools because then children will ask themselves how their dreams and skills will benefit other people as well themselves. That way, generation after generation will develop more natural habits of being charitable and conforming to more cooperative policies with less and less resistance.

[@telaisajanell9912]

Jack Laurence im sorry, but with all due respect sir....do u have any friends?

[@GreenScreenBatman]

Thank you Chade-Meng Tan for the book and all thanks to mindfulness awareness practices, i can find my inner peace!

[@FabriceRzepiennik]

I thank you so much Meng for your wise and inspiring principles. Sincerely, Fabrice from Paris (France)

[@edwinbrace4681]

Good intro in my opinion ! Still an amazing talk 10 years later

[@AMARTRIVEDI]

Such an excellent, stimulating talk by the amazing Chade-Meng Tan (Meng). If you view one video this year, make it this one! SIY - Search Inside Yourself is a valuable resource with the potential to benefit everyone.

[@kimdonghun7473]

How inspirational speech it is! I am really looking forward to trying out those meditation techniques to achieve mindfulness! I do hope that we will one day achieve world's peace!

[@lucywpdx]

I love the shots of the audience - all those young guys looking somewhat cranky, with their arms crossed firmly across themselves. (enjoyed the talk, myself!)

[@telaisajanell9912]

lucywpdx i have no doubt thats common

[@deannajay1680]

Thank you for sharing. I am reading your book and LOVE it.

[@yvonnekay6603]

It is useful to hear someone articulate the application of mindfulness in everyday life.

[@omarbashir4087]

Heroes of our society, they think differently and we are reason because we are weak, and they are fearless souls

[@MindfulLifeMindfulWorkInc]

Chade-Meng's clarification around how to practice mindful leadership is a welcome addition to the field. Here'e a brief reading that we've done from his book: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5DGo2imqb-Bg80

[@startupdownhome]

This is a GREAT video. This young man IS changing the world.

[@sing7170]

A fantastic video for expanding positivity training for any level of individual!!

[@steves.9082]

Great talk by Meng. Want to mention that I think something was missed on one of the questions: someone asked the question "can a book be written for his 10 year old son". I don't think this book is needed. As parents, we could learn from the book that Meng wrote, set a good example for our children, and pass the information down to them.

[@rosemarymorin6702]

Great response to the question exactly what I tell my family that us as parents have the responsibility to be a good role model for our children. Thank you for saying that I would have loved to be there. Keep spreading the word you have the answer.

[@SafouraFADIGA]

This is amazing and deserves to be spread!

[@beckyanderson1989]

Thank you so much for this teaching! I learned much that will be useful to me.

[@rosemarymorin6702]

I'm sure this man can make a great difference to world peace just in this session he changed me. I had already been working on me in me to be a better person. I prayed for such a person to communicate the message and I received it ,you can hear the same message from others but its the messenger who delivers it. Thank so much again and again you came into my home at the right time for all my family. May the power be with you.

[@aybmnn]

+Rose Mary Morin i think you mean the 'force' not the 'power'

[@rosemarymorin6702]

However you want it to be force or power thank you anyway for your comment have a great day

[@aybmnn]

Rose Mary Morin i was referring to Star Wars (:

[@rosemarymorin6702]

I know that's okay I meant my God,Jesus Christ the one that can make the impossible ,possible but it starts with us putting of what we can do ourselves first ,us as individuals . I was letting the speaker know that he definetly has a great start as an individual for WORLD PEACE ! His message will help lots of people at least be better. Thank you for your response and may you be better with the force or power that helps you . Have a great day I know I will.

[@aybmnn]

Rose Mary Morin oh you meant the power of Jesus, ok i didn't get it at first (:

[@gauravpandit7605]

this resonates with the experiences of practising Vipassana meditation. One only needs to practice to see how habit patterns start changing at a deeper level - places which we didn't have access to earlier. Very authentic presentation. Thanks

[@sassycraig]

Thank you for your talk. This was so easy to grasp, I feel results already. Lets go world peace!

[@JudihWeinsteinHaggai]

A great talk by Chade-Meng Tan.

[@francismausley7239]

Love spiritual theme... "The more we search for ourselves, the less likely we are to find ourselves; and the more we search for God, and to serve our fellow-men, the more profoundly will we become acquainted with ourselves, and the more inwardly assured. This is one of the great spiritual laws of life." ~ Baha'i Faith

[@hare7777]

He talks about the 100 minutes starting around 18:45. The second step is self-knowledge and self-mastery, which he starts talking about around 19:55.

[@tcevallos]

That was great! He exudes love and peace!

[@YuliiaIbrahimova]

Very warm and joyful talk! Thank you, it was a pleasure to watch!

[@janeranzman6993]

Inspiring! Thank you.

[@BrentBroome]

Very admirable that you're giving all the profits away. Bummer about the publishing rights, but understandable. I guess there is a trade off between getting distribution and marketing via a publisher in exchange for giving up control over pricing, etc. I don't have any perfect solutions, but encouraging your readers to pass on their copies to others when they are done might be a good first step.

[@Leota713]

Thank you. So simple, too the point. Great explanation. I now have something to share with friends which easily explains the importance of the beginning of meditation. Namaste. I hope you do more videos.

[@write2sriin]

i know the benefits come even with few moments of practice, i am interested in these kinds of research data which "proves" that even a short practice can alter our brain is a measurable and significant way...thx for the info...srinivas

[@telaisajanell9912]

Srinivasan N i believe i saw u at the cat/dog convent recently....or did i?

[@hare7777]

Well, he said that you can start seeing results from mindfulness of breathing in 100 minutes of practice. So, start with 1 minute a day, increase to 10 minutes a day, you could easily log 100 minutes in a month's time.

[@ainurkubasheva9011]

What a find!!!

[@Swordifsh1]

I didn't really get the practical steps in here. I believe the first was to concentrate on your breathing, and the third was to want good for others. What was the second? Also he said breathing for 10 seconds is like doing one rep at the gym. So how much should we actually do, or perhaps better phrased, is there a recommended amount to get some kind of tangible benefit? I remember he said you can notice something (significant?) in 7 weeks, not sure what the daily commitment to that is.

[@KGSasthaPrakash]

Thank you Meng! Peace and Happiness. :)

[@driedtodust]

I thought the audience question at 43:51 was interesting, saying that he imagined perfect contentment might cause people to become undriven and unproductive. I think that if someone really is at optimal emotional health, they may still enjoy relaxation and some unproductivity, but overall, they're going to be motivated to live their life in the way that's most meaningful to them... Growing as a person, accomplishing goals, helping other people. That's my thought.

[@mazdarx90]

I love you man!! I found a greater meaning of my life.

[@TheElegantZoe]

Beautiful, thank you.

[@BrentBroome]

Love your message! Any chance you would be willing to open-source this book? Perhaps make a HTML version available for free in addition to keeping the print and e-book versions for sale as they are (many books have done this in the past with success). Seems like a really worthwhile message to get out to those who may not want or be able to spend $15.

[@sylvieasics6570]

Amazing talk. Thank you! 💖💖💖

[@luisnabais]

Amazing. Thank you so much. I'm buying the book here in Portugal.

[@doraross9843]

Absolutely fantastic talk by Chade-Meng Tan. He explains it so clearly. To live life mindfully is the most effective way of being. Is there a SIY workshop in London?

[@larimettler]

Chade-Meng Tan, great speech, thank you. Please include women in your examples, and pictures. Thank you so much.

[@sharonmetcalf287]

It would be a good start to teach to kids at an early age.. good fundamentals for our future adults

[@Sophie-Aiyer]

What characteristics did you use to define effective managers? In my experience, there is a culture of leadership, in which “leaders” use fear to motivate productivity (rather than genuine friendship, let alone, genuine empathy).

[@dpvideo1]

Wonderful.

[@turyaboy]

Sahaja yoga is different from other yoga's, because it STARTS with Self Realisation! instead of that being an unobtainable goal of a false practice /ritual! Self Realisation is the Starting point of reality!

[@Swordifsh1]

I guess I must've missed the part mentioning 100 mins. Do you know at that point that was? But to my first question, if step 1 is breath & be mindful, and step 3 is want good for others, what's step 2?

[@clairelouise5767]

As someone who has read his works - I believe step 2 would be to cultivate joy within yourself. In other words, to notice the small instances of joy in everyday life (eg. stepping into a warm shower, the first bite of food, a drink when you're thirsty), revel in these and want these for yourself. It is then simpler to want and wish this for others

[@telaisajanell9912]

Claire Louise why ? What youve read. 1,2,3 aint real hard when youre ME

[@pries95132]

@gbbroome There is a LOT of free and good online meditation material. Of course Meng may put a spin on it all that is good for corporate environments, but this material has actually been around thousands of years. I could give you a link to my meditation teachers website or a variety of others, but you could just as easily start with the wikipedia entry for Mindfulness. Of course, I'm sure it is worth checking out his book from the library too!

[@cemsavasaydn7053]

I like this guy, i think he has good people skills. :-))

[@LukasPetry]

what's the name of the buddhist monk? i like him (and the others too).

[@carm4646]

Is Meng's class available to the public?

[@longquyencoltd]

thank you so much

[@nikos.b]

Can someone tell me why they don't teach mindfulness or meditation in schools? Are they really so afraid of happy and free people?

[@nikmark01]

Nikos Batras .. unfortunately the answer is 'yes'.. schools run, and the educational policies are implemented, by a section of the population suited to, and gifted with, the skills of conformity. The only people who can work in that kind of formulaic environment are those who feel most comfortable retaining their 'relative' superiority by containing people. Education is hierarchical.. it feeds the ego's of those we are led to believe know more than others... If you think outside the box you are challenging their status, and relevance. That threatens the status quo, so they happily contain you to maintain their status and the stable comfortable income that comes with it. Sad really.. we spend all that time of our young lives being told to focus on the wrong things.. but the good news is that when you get out into the world you can find the truth.. it can shake you to the core, but it's like being reborn.. but all the while you will meet people who try to break your will, try to push you or frighten back into the herd. The media are obviously the main thrust of that agenda..

[@ChristopherJBorrett]

YES

[@sabotocki]

Same reason why most schools dont teach personal finance?

[@jamieott7080]

People here in the bible belt would fall over and die. They'd confuse meditation with devil worship.

[@telaisajanell9912]

Does anybody know more about 51:30 'only the left prefrontal cortex has a direct connection to the amygdala'? any books or research papers? Thx.

[@imimim1]

This is a wonderful video and one can try the principles at home on your own, but sadly when going on the website to see about siyli workshops...They are astronomically priced. It won't bring world peace if only the rich can afford to actually learn this.

[@michalgarcia9746]

"Mining asteroids - anybody can do that! World peace - that is tough!"

[@ScottFreebass]

how can we bring this curriculum to all inner city public schools??????

[@telaisajanell9912]

beidi wu it obviously lines up with your work ethic and my exs view of what love should require

[@aurelius5961]

good video.

[@write2sriin]

Hi Meng, can you pls tell me where i can find this research u were speaking of even 100 minutes of mindfulness is enough to show some results...i also remember reading somewhere that even 10 mins of mindfulness over a few weeks showed measurable results. Thx a bunch

[@JessieOng029]

I wonder what are the key factor or minute skill to master to be fully mindful and see some results

[@mikeyo1234]

We shouldn't train our emotions. Instead we should be totally authentic in an effortless manner. True 'being' and not 'doing'. Check out Carl Rogers person-centred model, or non-duality.

[@telaisajanell9912]

Mike i am pretty sure every gemini in the world just laughed at the exact same moment does this count as centered?

[@smrki1]

They own the book, or the publishing rights in some countries? Could you write a shorter version - a low tech low cost version for "poor" countries?

[@beidisg]

Meng is Singaporean.

[@DanaiThongsin]

No think in the past no think in the future Think only now

[@chademeng]

We founded an institute to bring SIY out to the world (siyli.org), but it'll take a while to train instructors etc.

[@g9688823]

thank you

[@chademeng]

I very much want to give the book away, but the publisher owns it and I want to respect their rights. Playing with couple of ideas: eg, maybe I can buy for anybody who really wants to read and can't afford? But can that scale? Produce a low-cost version for poor countries? All ideas welcome. (I'm giving all book profits away, but that doesn't solve this problem.)

Search inside yourself. .. I feel this is a Fantastic word. Ibunderstand now this meaning is so awesome.. The peace of almost each individual is so much important.. It happens that the individual " feel " And finds successful life with " Search inside yourself ".. The word " Kadavul" In tamil.its equivalent is said as god.. But the word in tamil comes with meaning.. Kada + vul = pass inside ( yourself) . ( tamil is a classical and ancient language )

I am a psychologist and continue to hear the myth that Daniel Goleman wrote the book on "Emotional Intelligence" let's be clear he stole the ideas from legitimate researchers and allowed the world to give him credit. What kind of honorable "mindful" individual is this? He has made a career off of other peoples work. So please be compassionate with the people who deserve to be acknowledged!

[@gonkula]

+Lynn McClure Are you trying to tell us that your work as psychologist does not lie upon years of research made by other like-minded people? Is that not also considered making a career? Are we not all standing on the shoulders of giants? :)

[@SuperDMK123]

Do you think anybody will read his book

[@miselleangelinesariputra]

I read them. They're great

[@isaacpvful]

The speaker is so nervous it is hard to pay attention to the content. People who practice mindfullness are calm and confident. His nervousness shows that he has only conceptual understanding and has not internalised mindfullness himself.
