TEDxWaiakea-Michael Benner- Why Emotional Quotient (EQ) is More Important Than IQ

[@michaelgrundgeiger]

Aloha,Michael - I faithfully listened to you on the radio from 1984 to early 2008 - I was just 21 the first time I heard you - I remember how amazed and comforted I was at how calm and clear you sounded - I felt so reassured within just a few seconds of hearing your calm logical heartfelt and almost fearless voice - I felt that because there was at least one person in the world that was that calm and that sane I knew that humanity was going to survive - Much blessings,my friend -

Michael Benner is one of the most intelligent people I've ever known. i remember him from KLOS in Los Angeles, good old "Open Conversation". I'm glad he's still spreading his truths.

[@johnbevan4684]

I used to listen to his Impact Show too. Great stuff.

[@jupiterinaries6150]

tyrone sharp man ive listened to Michael since back in the late '70s as a young teenager. I wanted to be him as a kid. Lol

[@uhdudewhy7980]

I listened to Benner on KLOS on my car radio while delivering newspapers in the early morning hours. This was '83 - '84. I think his program was called Open Mike. It was enlightening stuff.

[@dtsanluis]

I listened to him in college late at night many of time...KMET. He is a winner!

[@IanPunter]

Mike was on KLOS 95.5., not KMET 94.7. was a listener thruout 80s.

[@HughFaison]

How true this is! The last 2 minutes describes myself and so many others I have known. The most powerful speech I have ever heard about the fallacies of relationship building and happiness.

[@michaelgrundgeiger]

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Love. I am Joy. I am the Universe. I am the Totality.

[@jeffdavisauthor]

Beautifully said, my friend

[@xavedanwar6707]

+Michael Grundgeiger You have made the ultimate complement ...thanks

[@kenhewgill1375]

Yes, it was KLOS not KMET. Michael always had a way of saying it. “Ninety five and a half, KL..OS” Always enjoyed your show Michael. You turned me on to some really cool music. Thank you!

[@anniej.4539]

Ken do you remember Shana from KLOS?!

[@markelsebusch]

Settle down, relax, understand yourself, serve others, and prosper in peace. So simple, so demonstrable in the lives of so many enlightened souls, yet so threatening to those convinced the law of the jungle is the only way.

[@hayleycarr77]

Michael is a total genius, another one of his brilliant presentations... he makes it look easy and I always get something new from it every time I watch it! Well done ;-)

[@phantomsouls9344]

Just recently discovered his podcast, I can listen to your talks for hours on end literally. Glad I've found it.

[@MichaelBenner]

Thanks. We're going to pick up the pace again soon, once by book is finished. (Fearless Intelligence)

[@MichaelBenner]

Thanks. Appreciate your interest.

[@100point1percent]

our responsibility is to know what is wonderful and lovable about ourselves... very beautifully said

[@unccand]

This was one of the best videos that I ever saw. If I could I would like 1000x. Thank you very much.

[@MichaelBenner]

Very kind of you. Thanks. Check out the podcast. Search for Ageless Wisdom in iTunes, Google Play or Stitcher.

"I am the love I'm looking for." For EVERYTHING begins and ends with "SELF".

[@1OpenSky]

If there's anything in this speech that remotely makes sense to you then listen to it again at your leisure. Then again. and then again and again and again when ever you want. Also listen to other people talk on the same subject. You will find that these principles will become part of how you live your life in your own personal and unique way, free from the burden of blaming or seeing yourself as a victim in life.

[@ZaibateI]

Sorry, but the book "How to win friends and influence people" was written by Dale Carnegie and not Dr. Norman Vincent Peale .

[@MichaelBenner]

Yup ... simply a slip of the tongue. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@ZaibateI]

I apologize if I sounded rude or something, wasn't my intention at all. Thanks for understanding

[@BogdanMarzewskifocus]

Must see this video, great presentation; we as humans are totally responsible for everything and anythig that goes on in our lives. the difficult part is to understand and to aknowledge that concept.

[@MichaelBenner]

Yes, you're correct. I mispoke. Thanks.

[@SarahAThoma-si4vi]

Inspiring!

[@michaelm798]

Very interesting video, well informative gets you really thinking about oneself

[@myoung48281]

nice critique, why did you listen to him and how did you arrive at that conclusion

[@jogeroq3323]

Thank you sir.

[@bbblackwell]

Fantastico!

[@millanhead]

I believe it was Dale Carnegie that wrote 'How to Win Friends and Influence People', not Norman Vincent Peale.

[@markelsebusch]

Your reference to the ignorance of zenrr1 gave me the courage to respond directly to his post. Thanks for your comment.

[@masiegersma]

But maybe he could help me a lot, when I have an open mind to what he tries to learn people...

[@ThomThinnX1]

I'm guessing zenrr1 gets subsidies from psycho-pharmaceutical companies and feels the need to thwart any alternative to "corporate-medicine" that might threaten his "bottom line". This message fully resonates with my wife and I. ..but on the other hand my grandmother was the first to point me to this with: "Now son, don't be ugly. Happy is a choice and you can always choose to make it your first choice".

[@iSugarHeart]

the only reason i found the boat story dumb was cuz saving each other was not possible for they didn't know how to swim.

[@iSugarHeart]

I don't see how loving one or other country has anything to do with loving you. He wouldn't share this if he didn't love people.

[@markelsebusch]

If we put an average nine year old in a college calculus class, he may come away with the same opinion as you spouted. You may want to be more careful about revealing your lack of understanding publicly.

Has anyone tried Rotogenflux Methods? (just google it) We have heard many amazing things about this iq course.

[@rushgeddy8375]

Self improvement klos radio 1983, yet 100 pounds overweight. 38 years later? 100 pounds overweight. See Wes Watson KZbin.

[@Deanguilberry]

I heard M Benner the other day (not by choice) I've heard him over the years (not by choice) and he said that progressives like change. Then why have you been spewing the same old stale junk for years? He's about as progressive and changing as slab of sidewalk concrete. Well I've read some of the comments; this was a waste of time.

[@zenrr1]

Wow, what a bunch of disjointed, disconnected, quasi-inspirational jibberish with no cohesive message or point. And he makes reference to the "Pop-psychology gurus"?; couldn't have said it better.

[@86Corvus]

Its not. Goodnight sweet children.

[@masiegersma]

Are you right-wing...?
