Body mind need to work together. EX: Want monogamy - body attracted to different people EX: Want health but body craves sugar / salt / fat EX: Want start business but love sleeping in (2:15) HAPPINESS ORIGINS -STORY: Me in Thailand w/ monks. Doing whole life sitting / meditating. Rid of attachments. Other extreme: USA strive / compete / climb corporate ladder - consumer everything. Feels empty. What is middle path? Are there attachments worth striving for? 1. GET WHAT YOU WANT (i.e. post goal / achievement / hedonism) 2. COMES FROM WITHIN (Buddha / enlighten / exist) COMES FROM WITHIN, ALSO WITHOUT (middle path! / ARE things worth striving for in life / Strive for the RIGHT attachments) (4:00) HAPPINESS SET POINT We adapt to set point New TV week one is HUGE. Hot tub is HOT. Adapt over time. EX: 20million or be paralyzed from neck down - who’s happier? (within a year both similar to base line level of happiness w/in 10%) “Hedonic treadmill” - we don’t just habituate, we recalibrate (6:15) HAPPINESS FORMULA H = S+C+V EX: Plant: Spring back to life if get conditions right. Almost dead - but can be fixed. Same with us. Happiness = set point + conditions + voluntary actions Don't worry about what you can'y control (set point). Focus on what we can control (Conditions & Voluntary Actions) and maximize that! (9:30) LOVE + ATTACHMENTS 2 kinds of love Compassionate love vs. passionate love VIDEO HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFzG3... (11:15) HAPPINESS SUCKERS NOISE: linked to more stress COMMUTE TIME: Never adapt or get used to LACK OF CONTROL: Wellspring of human happiness SHAME: sucks self worth RELATIONSHIPS: Need to handle conflict healthy way (14:10) HAPPINESS BOOSTERS Strong marriages physical touch meaningful relationships religious affiliation (16:15) VALUE CONSTRAINTS Suicide study = less likely the more constraints we have. Beneficial to have lines (coloring inside lines can be fun) (18:00) GOAL ATTAINMENT Pre goal striving vs Post goal striving Astronaut Syndrome: Whole life working for a goal, go to moon and back, shake president hand.... now what? We get more pleasure from making progress twoards our goals than we do from achieving them. (19:20) PURPOSE OF LIFE QUOTE: “I don’t believe there is an inspiring answer to the question ‘What is the purpose of life?’” he says. “Yet by drawing on ancient wisdom and modern science, we can find compelling answers to the questions of purpose within life. . . . Happiness is not something you can find, acquire or achieve directly. You have to get the conditions right, and then wait.” Focus on what you can do - get conditions right, keep improving and striving / accepting more. Certain level can force happiness. Just exists.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass.

Here's the second episode on the Top 40 List! As you know, I'm HUGE on mindset. Each month I'll be going solo to bring you some of the biggest / most impactful / personal development ideas and practices. I hope you get something out of this week's session as I go through my top 8 things I learned about Business & Passion in 2012.  Success leaves clues. Why take one new massive goals when you haven’t even reflected upon this past year’s success? I guess that’s why I’ve never been good nor seen the point with “New Years Resolutions”. If you want to replicate ANY form of success, you need to REFLECT on WHY and HOW you were successful. It is for this reason I feel that it’s much more important to reflect upon what you’ve learned over the past year. It’s in the reflection that we are reminded of life’s lessons. As always: can’t WAIT to hear your feedback at the end! Which lessons did you connect with? Where in your life did you experience something similar? Real quick: I’d also like to note that I’m in no way trying to sound preachy. These are as much reminders for myself to look back on throughout the years as they are to you! May we all get something out of these! STOKED! Top 8 Things I Learned About: Passion / Business9. ABSOLUTE ABS Launching a business / product is HARRRDD! SHIT! I had no idea how much time / effort this would all be. Hiring a programmer, web developer, online banker, videographer, producer, camera man (YOU’RE MY MAN HARRY!), Film editor, graphic designer, AND writing / creating the program. WHEW! Glad that’s done! HOWEVER! SO thankful that I’ve learned how to do it all so I can be better prepared for the next products! Thanks for the support on Absolute Abs guys! www.Absolute-Abs-Workout.com (had to plug it). 10. TWO ULTIMATE RESOURCES Time and money. Ultimately, you’re time is more valuable. You have to choose which one of the two you want to spend. The other will suffer. Spending all those hours editing / producing Absolute Abs saved me thousands, however my whole summer was spent a slave to Final Cut Pro! 11. DHARMA This one could go in any category really. Dharma a concept I ripped of Deepak Chopra’s must read: “The Seven Laws of Spiritual Success”. The seventh law is the law of Dharma. Basically Dharma is a concept that we are ALL put here for a unique purpose. The “Universe” or “God” or “Creator” (whatever you want to label it) NEVER duplicates. Each and every one of us were given unique talents / gifts. By not fully using those gifts or fully expressing yourself you do a disservice to yourself, but more importantly everyone else who could of benefited from them! My English teacher would kill me for that run on sentence, but you get the point! Dharma. Powerful stuff! 12. EVERYTHING IS CREATED TWICE. Once in your mind, and once in reality! This is the concept of blueprinting! We gotta give ourselves permission to dream big and think even bigger! Once you’ve created something in your mind, all that’s left is to get a M.A.P. or “Massive Action Plan.” Take action and manifest that blueprint into a reality! Dream it up peeps! 13. EARN A DEGREE IN G.S.D: GET SHIT DONE Sometimes you just need a degree in G.S.D or “Getting Shit Done!” Turn the distractions off, lock yourself down, and make a to-do list. GSD! Oh and shout out to my roommate / best friend Harry with this one! 14. OUTSOURCE If you want to be a millionaire, then you need to stop doing $10/hour tasks! Word. Sri Lanka does great work as does South Africa! Elance.com has saved me SO MUCH MONEY. Tim Ferris thought me this one for sure. Not just in business, but in every area of your life. There’s only so much time that we have. What’s the 5% of things that you and ONLY you can do? Do them and outsource the rest. 15. START & STOP “What’s the #1 thing you should START doing. What’s the #1 thing you should STOP doing?” Hands down, one of the BEST questions I ask myself whenever I’m feeling off-task or off-centered. It’s not surprising at all how many times the answer has been some form of social media…. What a time-eater facebook is, good God! 16. GIVE GIVE GIVE I said it last year, but it’s worth repeating. THE SECRET TO LIVING IS GIVING Thanks for the support guys! As always, head over to www.ClarkDanger.com to get the full top 40 list. Control your life and don't let life contol you! -Danger HOME: http://www.clarkdanger.com/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/ClarkDangerousFACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/ClarkDangerUS?ref=hlABSOLUTE ABS: http://absolute-abs-workout.com/
