  Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt are two relationship experts that have worked to start conversations and educate people on the value of healthy, communicative relationships with a partner. They are the best-selling authors of Getting the Love You Want and Making Marriage Simple.    EPISODE    Helen and Harville want us to understand that the perfectly happily married couple is ultimately incompatible. The difference between the married couples that fail and those that succeed is not in their compatibility, but in the way they choose to understand their incompatibility. After both Helen and Harville experienced a divorce of their own, they approached the beginning of their relationship asking the question "What makes some couples stay together and some fall apart?". The result of their deep theorizing and research is Imago,  a relationship methodology they teach that strives to dig deep into our true motivations on how we become attracted to and choose partner, and fulfill our desires in a relationship. We discuss: • Why you are either a hailstorm or a turtle • The steps of listening successfully • You will only be attracted to someone you are incompatible with • The role of our parents and caregivers in deciding what we want in a relationship     For complete shownotes and more, please head over to www.optimizedgeek.com/harvilleandhelen LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED   HarvilleandHelen.com Safe Conversations Buddha's Brain by Rick Hanson Making Marriage Simple Getting the Love You Want   GET OPTIMIZED! Identify your own tendencies during conflict. Are you a person who shuts down or explodes when you can't get what you want? According to Imago, you are either the minimizer or the maximizer in a relationship, and you can use this identification to help understand tendencies in your feelings. When the feelings of hot romance begin to fade in your relationship, recognize that it is not due to an ultimately doomed relationship. It is simply another stage of the relationship's development, and can be worked through to find real, long-term love through listening and communication. Remember that simple communication without judgment can solve the majority of marital problems. Feeling neglected in your marriage? Talk about it calmly. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

   Dr. John Bergman became a chiropractor after an auto accident left him severely injured, but thanks to the therapies of alternative health, he made a full recovery. Inspired by the power he saw in the body, he now passionately advocates for alternative health practices.   EPISODE   When John Bergman got into a serious car wreck, he got the feeling that the medicine he was being prescribed may have been making him worse instead of better. He decided to research further and go to chiropractic school and has become a champion of alternative medicine. He wants people to truly start thinking about what modern medicine is doing to their bodies, and why their bodies are failing them. The answer, he believes, is that we might be misdiagnosing simple adaptive responses that our body is having to other problems - simple problems like stress, little exercise, too much time sitting, or taking in too many toxins from medications and processed foods. Traditional medicine might be overcomplicating things and overlooking our simple need to get our immune system in order.

  Bill Donius is revolutionizing the way people think. He's the New York Time's bestselling author of Thought Revolution, and works with major companies such as Wells Fargo and Nestle to revamp their problem solving strategies.   EPISODE  Bill Donius knows your brain has a secret area that you are not fully utilizing - ever have that "aha!" moment in the shower, or laying in your bed, or while running – a seemingly magical idea that is captivating and motivating? What if you could trigger those ideas on demand? Bill says you can - in less than 60 seconds. It's all due to the specific roles of the hemispheres of the brain. Many of us know the idea of left brain/right brain - that the separate hemispheres of the brain are responsible for different types of thought. The left brain for analytical and logical thinking, the right brain for creativity and problem solving. Bill has been interested in accessing the right brain for problem solving for years, and now does seminars for Fortune 500 companies to teach CEOs and managers how to use this elusive part of the brain for high-level problem solving and strategy creation. However, he thinks that everyone can benefit from introducing right brain use into their lives. We discuss just how to do this, plus:   why introducing the creative brain to your to-do list can make you more productive how to use the right brain to get into flow how to ask yourself the right questions - and why it's important how relaxation and stress relief plays into creativity   For complete shownotes and more, please head over to www.optimizedgeek.com/billdonius LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED Williamdonius.com William Donius LinkedIn Will Donius TEDx talk Thought Revolution The Next Level Experience Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Recovery of Your Inner Child Cultured Code Getting Things Done Change Your Questions, Change Your Life The Sketchnote Handbook The Sketchnote Workbook Of Two Minds Idea Stormers       GET OPTIMIZED!

It can be illuminating to use right-brain thinking to visualize the distant future, for your company or for your own personal journey. To do it, access your right brain and ask "What will my future look like?" and draw a picture with your non-dominant hand.   THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! As always, thank you for tuning in.
