    When to trust your gut instinct, and when to ignore it

    When to trust your gut instinct, and when to ignore it

    We all have moments in our lives when we feel an unconscious pull towards a certain decision.

    Should you walk down that dark alley? Does that person seem a bit off? Why is that giving me the heebie-jeebies?

    For Isla Lucas, a gut feeling while on holiday saved her life… Or did it?

    We take a look at the science and fantasy of intuition.

    Scientifically Changing Your Brain with Positive Thinking

    Scientifically Changing Your Brain with Positive Thinking

    In this episode, we're diving deep into the science of positive thinking and how it can literally rewire your brain. Yes, you heard that right! Just like hitting the gym works out your muscles, focusing on positive thoughts exercises your brain, making it stronger and more resilient. 🧠💪

    I'll be walking you through some fascinating scientific studies that show how our thoughts, whether they're sunny or gloomy, can shape the very structure of our brains. This is all about the power of neuroplasticity – our brain's incredible ability to adapt and change, no matter our age. 🌟

    Think of it as training your mind. Every time you choose positivity, you're strengthening neural pathways, making it easier to stay upbeat and see the glass as half full. And don’t worry, I’m not just throwing feel-good statements at you – we’ve got solid science backing all of this up! 📚

    I'm also going to share some easy, practical tips on how you can start incorporating more positivity into your daily life. From gratitude exercises to mindfulness meditation, we've got lots of tools to help you on your journey to a happier, healthier mindset.

    Today’s episode is a really short & snappy one, dare I say, a mini-sode.

    Despite being short, it’s an important one, where I’m sharing 2 valuable training tips that I’ve been talking about with my students for more than a decade: farts & unicorns. These are two training tips you can take away immediately and incorporate into your training.

    A short episode, but one I hope you find really helpful.  

    And now I best explain just what I mean by farts & unicorns. Listen to find out.

     

    In this episode I discuss:

    1:17 - episode introduction

    1:55 - brain farts

    2:14 - what are ‘brain farts’

    2:53 - why talk to students and you about this

    4:01 - what to do about it

    5:36 - unicorn moments

    How the Brain Constructs Reality: Interview with Andy Clark

    How the Brain Constructs Reality: Interview with Andy Clark

    Every now and then we like to talk to someone who is an expert in something we know almost nothing about. What better topic than philosophy and neuroscience? Andy Clark is Professor of Cognitive Philosophy at the University of Sussex, and is a well-known voice within philosophy of mind, pushing the boundaries of how we conceive of the brain, its connections with our environment, and in his new book, how it actively constructs our experience through prediction. The book is The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality. We have a delightfully nerdy, scientific, and humble conversation with Andy about everything from why we sometimes feel our phones vibrating when they're not there, to whether AI can match human brains, to psychedelics, to whether there is a hard problem of consciousness. We even get him to talk a bit about religion. We barely scratch the surface, but it was a lot of fun!

    The beverage we taste in this episode is Blanton's Single Barrel bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery.

    Audio note: we weren't able to use our standard recording setup for this one, so if we sound a little odd, that's why. Apologies!

    To skip the tasting, go to 6:53.

    An Ex-Football Player’s Story of the Healing Power of Poetry

    An Ex-Football Player’s Story of the Healing Power of Poetry
    April is National Poetry Month, launched more than 25 years ago by the Academy of American Poets to recognize poets’ integral role in our culture. Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world, and in today’s episode, we talk to an unusual poet who came to this craft later in life—and through the most unimaginable of experiences. Hank Bjorklund, a former professional football player for the New York Jets, became a business lawyer in New York City after retiring from football, then an educator and coach. Then, on one otherwise ordinary day, Hank found himself suddenly hospitalized due to dysautonomia, a severe disruption of his autonomic nervous system possibly caused by the repetitive head hits he received during years of tackle football. An idyllic, healthy life in retirement with his wife was unalterably changed. In his newly published book, “Head Hits I Remember,” Hank recounts his daily struggles to cope with this baffling, life-altering illness, and how he eventually turned to poetry as a way to connect with his thoughts and feelings and deal more gracefully with the profound realities of life previously unseen. He’ll recite a selection of poems from his book, some of which he’s turned into songs and performed with musicians who heard his poems and decided to put his words to music. Hank will talk about how poetry and music have helped him heal and brought meaning back into his life—and hopefully will inspire others seeking the strength to persevere through difficult and debilitating challenges.

    EPISODE 31 (50) CLUTTER KILLER - make sure your mess and disorder don't do your down

    EPISODE 31 (50) CLUTTER KILLER - make sure your mess and disorder don't do your down

    People differ over whether a cluttered, paper-strewn work area is a good or a bad thing. In favor is that it could mean you’re highly creative, maybe even a genius.

    Against clutter is that your physical environment may strongly affect your understanding, emotions, and behavior.  It can also influence your decision-making and relationships.

    In this week's podcast, Andrew teases some essentials about clutter. 

    Scans show that our brains like order. Mess is seldom a visual reminder of genius, more often it suggests disorganization that drains mental resources and reduces our ability to focus.

    Andrew explains how the clutter happens and why. For example, even touching material things makes you more emotionally attached to them.

    That mess is saying to you: "To touch me is to love me!" No wonder it's more comfortable to hold onto the clutter than dump it.

    Since you are in search of success at work, Andrew warns that perception is everything and tidiness suggests that you are well organized,

    Passing your chaotic desk prompts the opposite perception, "How do find anything from all that?"

    He suggests you encourage your team to have regular spring cleaning days and perhaps turn these into enjoyable social experiences as well.

    Andrew ends this podcast on clutter with the usual three practical actions you can take right away to deal with it.

    Why not give this Podcast a second hearing so that you begin to include this kind of thinking into your search for success at work?

    Or check out the transcript at the podcast site for a slower, more sustained read and improved learning.

    Don't forget there is also an e-learning mobile unit associated with it by an independent company not connected with 50 Ways.

    Awe Is More Powerful than You Think

    Awe Is More Powerful than You Think

    So much of adult life is about learning the rules and then using those rules to navigate the world. We become certain that we know what we know — that we’re right, and we’re safer and more secure that way. But certainty, argues neuroscientist Beau Lotto, might actually be one of society’s biggest sources of emotional and physical unwellness. Certainty causes us to have less humility, less creativity, and less tolerance for difference. But occasionally, something amazing knocks us out of those patterns — we’re awestruck. Is it possible to use awe as a tool to make us more open, tolerant people? In Lotto’s talk from Aspen Ideas: Health, he walks us through how that effect actually works in our brains, and shares what he’s learned from researching the topic at his Lab of Misfits, where he’s founder and CEO.
