10 Life-changing Lessons From the Book “The Art of the Good Life”

⚡️Book Review⚡️

- By Million-selling author of The Art Of Thinking Clearly

1. Peak-end Rule:

You remember the high point and the end point of your holiday, but the rest is forgotten.

👉Remind to make them as sweet as possible.

2. Plans are nothing. Planning is everything.

A good life is not a stable state or condition.

👉The good life is only achieved through constant readjustment.

3. Inflexibility as a Stratagem

When it comes to important issues, flexibility isn’t an advantage – it’s a trap.

👉Use radical inflexibility to reach long-term goals that would be unrealizable if their behavior were more flexible.

4. Reality Doesn’t Care About Your Feelings

👉Accepting reality is easy when you like what you see, but you’ve got to accept it even when you don’t – especially when you don’t.

Lessons I Learned From the Book

"13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do"
✍🏻 @AmyMorinLCSW

📚 Book Review (thread)

1.Mentally Strong People Don’t Worry About Pleasing Everyone

Pleasing everyone can negatively impact mental strength.

When you accept you won’t please everyone, you become stronger and build courage when you anticipate displeasing others.

2.They Don’t Feel the World Owes Them Anything

Mentally strong people can shift their focus away from their debt. Hence, they can help people in need. Mentally strong people keep themselves busy doing good deeds.

3.They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves

No one is immune to hard times. However, it is how you react to these situations that is important. They replace self-pity with gratitude.

4.They Don’t Resent Other People’s Success

Overcome your envy of other people’s success and learn how to use their success to your benefit.

When people enjoy and celebrate success, they attract other successful people, creating opportunities for collaboration success.

Was reading upon #Biases & learnt a lot. Thought of sharing a few pointers .
Simply put Bias is a disproportionate weight in favour of or against any idea/thing in all aspects of life.
Few types of Biases ( out of the many) with not so random images. :)

2/16
The #DunningKruger effect now is fairly well known , wherein people with limited knowledge overestimate their competence, whilst the actually knowledgeable question themselves often .
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge".

3/16
*#SelfServingBias*
A very interesting bias wherein we credit our successes to purely ourselves, but when things go awry we cite luck & external forces .
Rings any bells?
Basically a defence mechanism to protect our self esteem & eventually from personal responsibility.

4/16
* #ConfirmationBias *
We all favour ideas & beliefs that affirm to our existing ones' , rarely being open to contradictory opinions .
(Especially in markets !! 😬) Why?

Laziness? Mental block? Ego ?
No wonder, Birds of a feather flock together ... 😉

5/16
* #SunkCostBias *
As we know, sunk costs are irrecoverable , regardless of outcomes. (Eg Money expended towards R&D for a molecule which doesn't work out)
But this actually extends in any investment we make - Time,Money, Effort, Relationships ...😏
Interesting right?

A THREAD:

Create Warmth by Using First Names

Your name is possibly the only thing that's yours but is used more by others.

We all love to hear our names, to be acknowledged, to be recognized, to feel at home,

And using first names while conversing is a great way to develop rapport.

Be a Mirror

The person first ought to trust you in order for him to believe you.

And one of the quickest and surest ways of developing trust,

Is mirroring the person's body language and words.

He'd subconsciously lower his guard and feel at ease.

Listen deeply to understand them

Everyone wants to feel understood.
There is no hack for this.

You genuinely have to be interested to understand what the other person's views are.

And for that to happen,

Your mind should be quiet and present at the moment.

Summarize their position back to them

Once you listen to them deeply,

Summarise what they just told you back to them.

It'd demonstrate empathy and the person would know that you actually paid attention.
