Growth Mindset Podcast

188: Choosing Growth After Grief - Jarie Bolander, The Entrepreneur Ethos podcast host

Why Buddhism is True written by Robert Wright 'Why Buddhism is True' looks at the science and philosophy of meditation and enlightenment. Robert Wright is a devout non-meditating anger prone evolutionary psychologist and writer. He dives headlong into the world of meditation with surprising results, and explain why it works from an evolutionary standpoint. Robert Wright famously explained in The Moral Animal how evolution shaped the human brain. The mind is designed to often delude us, he argued, about ourselves and about the world. And it is designed to make happiness hard to sustain. But if we know our minds are rigged for anxiety, depression, anger, and greed, what do we do? Wright locates the answer in Buddhism, which figured out thousands of years ago what scientists are only discovering now. Buddhism holds that human suffering is a result of not seeing the world clearly—and proposes that seeing the world more clearly, through meditation, will make us better, happier people. In Why Buddhism is True, Wright leads readers on a journey through psychology, philosophy, and a great many silent retreats to show how and why meditation can serve as the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age. At once excitingly ambitious and wittily accessible, this is the first book to combine evolutionary psychology with cutting-edge neuroscience to defend the radical claims at the heart of Buddhist philosophy. With bracing honesty and fierce wisdom, it will persuade you not just that Buddhism is true—which is to say, a way out of our delusion—but that it can ultimately save us from ourselves, as individuals and as a species.

In this episode, Nick Bradley, host of Scale Up Your Business podcast, the number one UK business podcast on iTunes, talks with Sam about their viewpoints of having a growth mindset in the world of entrepreneurship. KEY TAKEAWAYS Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Acquisitions is not just acquiring products, customers and other things but you can also acquire talent. Most of what we achieve or don’t achieve is connected to our view of ourselves and our identity. You're the sole responsible for your success. You're also the sole responsible for your failure.

Global Workspace Theory by Bernard Bars Whole brain knows what are the current conscious contents are the objects Conscious contents: • Short term memory • Long term memory • Attention is the key to consciousness. We can only attend to exactly one thing at a time. • You can’t multitask. • How we decide what we attend to? • Attentional switching is time scaled. Every corner of the second, your brain makes the decision. • Experiences in life defines the cursor of consciousness. • Consciousness is emergent phenomena of life. Other class of conscious contents: Symbolical The higher emotional balance, good or bad, the more likely it has on your being. Number of useful memories has significance on your emotional balance. You can access your emotional balance. (Kumbaga if you had a bad memories, you can turn it into a good memories or funny memories). Can also prevent PTSD. Try to control your flow of attention. Choose what you pay attention to. Phone sucks your attention. Take your attention very seriously. Biggest takeaway: don’t let anything or anyone hijack your attention. You are your attention.
