Dr. Gabor Mate´

In this episode, Brian Klaas explains the concept of whether things are a fluke or fate, and explores how embracing uncertainty can lead to a living a fuller life. Brian makes the case that randomness and chaos might be exactly what makes our lives matter so much, and how we tend to worship at the “Altar of Progress in the Church of Control.” We make plans, set goals, and these are good things, but we only have so much control. And Brian teaches that accepting this can be a relief, because the point isn’t to control everything, but to influence what we can.
 
Key Takeaways:
 
 • The concept of happiness derived from intrinsic values rather than material possessions and social status.
 • The importance of thoughts and actions in shaping our lives and experiences.
 • Exploration of chaos theory and the unpredictability of life.
 • The idea that we control nothing but influence everything, emphasizing the ripple effects of our actions.
 • Personal stories illustrating how random events can profoundly impact lives.
 • The empowering nature of recognizing the influence of our choices.
 • The tension between control and acceptance of life’s randomness.
 • The critique of societal values that prioritize material success over personal fulfillment and relationships.
 • Encouragement to embrace individual uniqueness and create for personal expression rather than external validation.

Ryan Holiday on Everyday Courage

Richard Schwartz began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic and has developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients’ descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns to the way they were organized across clients. Dr. Schwartz found that when the clients’ parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, they would spontaneously experience the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that he came to call the Self. He also found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts. Richard is a featured speaker for national professional organizations and has published many books and over fifty articles about IFS.

How to Break Free from the 'More' Trap and Find Balance in a Busy Life with Chris Bailey

Mini Episode: The Elephant and The Rider
One of my favorite books is The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom by Jonathan Haidt.
In it, Haidt poses several "Great Ideas" on happiness espoused by thinkers of the past - Plato, Buddha, Jesus and others - and examines them in the light of contemporary psychological research, extracting from them any lessons that still apply to our modern lives. Central to the book are the concepts of virtue, happiness, fulfillment, and meaning.
He uses a metaphor of a rider on the back of an elephant in which the conscious mind is the rider and the unconscious mind is the elephant. The rider is unable to control the elephant by force: this explains many puzzles about our mental life, particularly why we have such trouble with weakness of will. Learning how to train the elephant is the secret of self-improvement.
