ADVICE

Motivation Formula

Find your purpose, generate energy, and take small steps for motivation.
Purpose gives clarity, energy management is crucial, and small steps make tasks less daunting.

INSIGHT

Motivation Without Enjoyment

Enjoyment isn't necessary for motivation; purpose is key.

Tao te ching

Laozi

The Tao Te Ching is a central text in Taoist philosophy and religion. It consists of 81 brief chapters or sections that discuss the nature of the Tao, which is described as the source and ideal of all existence. The text emphasizes living in harmony with nature, the importance of simplicity, humility, and the interconnectedness of all things. It critiques unnatural actions and social activism based on abstract moralism, advocating for a life of 'nonaction' (wu wei) and spontaneity. The text has been highly influential in Chinese philosophy and has been translated numerous times, making it one of the most translated texts in world literature[2][3][4].

The Gift of Fear

Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence

Gavin de Becker

In this book, Gavin de Becker argues that every individual should learn to trust their gut instinct when it comes to situations of danger or potential violence. He highlights the predictability of violence by identifying pre-incident indicators (PINS) such as forced teaming, charm and niceness, too many details, typecasting, loan sharking, and the unsolicited promise. De Becker also discusses his MOSAIC Threat Assessment Systems and provides practical advice on how to spot danger signals, handle threatening situations, and manage fear effectively. The book is particularly valuable for women and others who may be at higher risk of violence, offering strategies to enhance situational awareness and personal safety.

Tao of Jeet Kune Do

Bruce Lee

The Tao of Jeet Kune Do is a compilation of Bruce Lee's notes and writings on his martial arts philosophy. The book was assembled posthumously from Lee's personal notes and studies, which he began during his convalescence from a back injury in 1970. It emphasizes the importance of formlessness, adaptability, and self-knowledge in martial arts. Lee's approach rejects rigid styles and traditions, advocating for a fluid and dynamic method of combat that is tailored to the individual's needs and capabilities. The book includes discussions on fighting techniques, mental preparation, and philosophical underpinnings, reflecting Lee's integration of various martial arts and philosophical sources[2][3][4].

Limitless

Core Techniques to Improve Performance, Productivity, and Focus

Jim Kwik

In 'Limitless,' Jim Kwik offers a comprehensive guide to upgrading brain performance. The book is divided into three main parts: Mindset, Motivation, and Methods. Kwik provides tools to challenge limiting beliefs, ignite motivation, and master methods for accelerated learning. He introduces the 'Limitless Model,' which includes the FASTER method for quick content absorption and strategies to improve focus, study habits, memory, and speed reading. The book also addresses modern-day 'supervillains' of learning, such as digital deluge, and offers practical exercises to implement these strategies immediately[2][4][6].

Mindset

The New Psychology of Success

Carol S. Dweck

In this book, Carol S. Dweck introduces the concept of two mindsets: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are static, while those with a growth mindset believe their abilities can be developed through effort and learning. Dweck shows how these mindsets influence success in school, work, sports, and personal relationships. She also discusses how to adopt a deeper, truer growth mindset, and how this can transform individual and organizational cultures. The book emphasizes the importance of perseverance, learning from failures, and embracing challenges as key components of the growth mindset[1][2][5].

Paralyzed by self-doubt, struggling to get started, chronically procrastinating, and lacking energy for the day are all problems that point to motivation. What is that you want for yourself and the world you live in? What thoughts, good or bad, dictate your actions or lack of actions every morning?

Jim Kwik’s mission is that no brain is left behind. He’s one of the world's leading experts on how to train the brain and accelerate learning. The bestselling author of the book Limitless is the brain coach A-list celebrities and thought leaders call for help. His traumatic brain injury as a child turned into a gift for the world as he teaches how to do bigger and greater things.

In this special episode Jim reveals his 3 part formula for sustainable motivation and why motivation is a major factor in accomplishing everything you want to go after. While others insist that motivation is BS, Jim insists that it’s a major factor alongside Mindset and Methods.
