Shane O'Mara on Substack: Brain Pizza Get the book: here We are social animals and talking is part of what makes us human. But what purpose does conversation serve? In this revelatory tour of talking, neuroscientist Shane O'Mara explores why we communicate, what happens in our brains when we do it, and what it means for us as individuals, groups and societies. How do our thoughts, memories, and conversations change our brains? What does it mean that we spend most of our thinking lives in a five-minute bubble around the present moment? Why does our sense of self solidify with age, even as we grow more forgetful? In what ways do we imagine futures together? And how do our nations begin as conversations? Moving from the personal to the social and ultimately towards a radical new perspective on the defining phenomenon of our times, populist nationalism, this is the story of how conversation builds the worlds around us - and how, together, we can talk our way into a better tomorrow.…

The Art of the Impossible is a book by Steven Kotler, a writer and researcher specializing in neuroscience and peak performance. The book provides practical guidance on achieving "impossible" goals, drawing on insights from elite performers, neuroscientists, and psychologists. Kotler argues that by applying the principles of "flow" - a state of optimal performance and heightened focus - individuals can push past their perceived limits and accomplish what they once thought was impossible. He emphasizes the importance of developing a growth mindset, setting clear goals, and adopting deliberate practice techniques. Some of the most actionable content in the book includes: The concept of "microflow" - breaking down a larger task into smaller, more manageable parts to maintain focus and motivation. Identifying and leveraging one's strengths and natural abilities to achieve peak performance. The importance of seeking out and learning from mentors and role models. Cultivating a mindset of resilience and persistence, embracing failure as a necessary part of growth. Engaging in deliberate practice, a focused and intentional approach to improving one's skills and abilities. This book provides practical strategies and inspiration for individuals looking to achieve their most challenging goals, and is a valuable read for anyone interested in peak performance and personal development.

Tools of Titans 45:06

Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss is a best-selling book that compiles the advice and insights from highly successful people to help readers improve their lives. Ferriss intended to write this book as a personal journal for himself. He wanted to collate all of the learnings from the people he had interviewed on his podcast. Instead as he began the project he decided it was too good to keep to himself. So he shares the wisdom he gained from interviewing hundreds of top performers, ranging from entrepreneurs, athletes, and celebrities to investors and artists. The book is split into 3 main sections: Healthy, Wealthy and Wise. Each chapter is no more than 4 or 5 pages and every chapter has a piece of advice you can action. Here are some of those: Take care of your body: Exercise regularly and eat healthy food. This will give you more energy and make you feel good. According to Tim Ferriss, top performers prioritize their physical health as it affects their mental and emotional wellbeing. Exercise and healthy eating means different things to different people but there are broad strokes for how to get started and more nuanced details for some weird and wonderful techniques for fitness. Set goals for yourself: This will help you stay motivated and focused. The book emphasizes the importance of goal setting, as it can help you prioritize what's important and achieve your desired outcomes. However goal setting by itself is not enough, you need to take massive action and you need systems to allow you to take that action. Be mindful: Take time to be present in the moment and appreciate what you have. Practicing mindfulness and gratitude can help reduce stress and increase happiness, which are critical for success. Be kind to others: Treat people the way you want to be treated. According to the book, successful people know the value of building meaningful relationships and making genuine connections with others. This is a no brainer. Build relationships above all else. Don't be afraid to ask for help: It's okay to admit you don't know something and ask someone who does. Ferriss stresses the importance of seeking help from mentors and experts, which can accelerate your learning and growth. Read books: Reading can teach you a lot and help you become a better person. Many top performers recommend reading as a way to gain knowledge and insights into a variety of subjects. I disagree slightly with this - reading is the first part, remembering it when you need it and finding opportunities to deliberately practice are when the real learning happens. Don't be afraid to fail: It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. The book highlights the importance of taking risks and learning from failures as a way to grow and develop resilience. This is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn from highly successful people and improve their own lives. The book's actionable content and insights can help readers achieve their goals and reach new heights of success.…

The Psychology of Money 1:10:15

One this episode we discuss the book 'The Psychology of Money' with the host of The Entrepreneur Experiment podcast Gary Fox. This book, written by Morgan Housel that explores the behavioral and psychological factors that influence our relationship with money. The book emphasizes that making good financial decisions is not just about understanding math or investing strategies, but also about understanding our own emotions, biases, and behaviors. The book covers a wide range of topics related to money, including the importance of defining your own definition of financial success, the role of luck and risk in investing, and the power of compounding. The most actionable content from the book can be summarized as follows: Focus on your own goals and values: Rather than trying to keep up with the Joneses or follow the latest investment fad, focus on your own goals and values. Define what financial success means to you and create a plan to achieve it. Embrace humility: Acknowledge that luck plays a significant role in financial outcomes and that no one has all the answers when it comes to investing. Adopt a humble attitude and be open to learning from your mistakes. Be patient: Wealth is built over the long term through consistent savings and investing. Avoid chasing short-term gains and focus on the power of compounding over time. Understand your own biases: We all have biases that influence our financial decisions, such as overconfidence or loss aversion. Recognize these biases and try to avoid making decisions based solely on emotion. Keep it simple: Avoid complex investment strategies and stick to simple, diversified portfolios. Minimize fees and expenses and focus on the fundamentals of investing. Overall, The Psychology of Money offers a unique perspective on personal finance that emphasizes the importance of understanding our own emotions, biases, and behaviors when it comes to money. By adopting a long-term mindset, embracing humility, and focusing on our own goals and values, we can make better financial decisions and achieve greater financial success.

In this episode we talk to Mark Skinner, Head of Learning and Development, Food Drink Ireland, Ibec about the book 'Essentialism' a self-help book by Greg McKeown that offers a framework for achieving greater success and fulfilment by simplifying and prioritizing one's life. The book argues that in a world where we are constantly bombarded by demands, distractions, and opportunities, it is essential to focus on what truly matters and to eliminate everything else. McKeown argues that essentialism is not about doing more, but doing less, better. He outlines a four-step process for becoming an essentialist: Explore and evaluate: identify what is truly important and what is not; Eliminate: remove the non-essential activities, tasks, and commitments that do not align with your goals and values; Execute: focus on the essential tasks with clarity and discipline; and Evaluate: regularly review your progress and adjust your priorities as needed. Throughout the book, McKeown provides practical advice and real-life examples of how essentialism can be applied in various areas of life, such as work, relationships, and personal growth. He also emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, saying "no" to requests and opportunities that do not align with your priorities, and creating space for rest and reflection.

We are currently living through motivation 3.0 according to author Daniel Pink. 1.0 was all about survival getting enough food, water and shelter. 2.0 happened in the industrial age. A factory worker was willing to do X to get paid Y. The modern era has changed how we are motivated which leads to Motivation 3.0. This type of motivation is intrinsic - we complete a task because we feel challenged by it in the right way. Companies that use the reward/sanction approach to getting things done will be left behind. There is a great realisation that we, as a workforce, do not want to do work that only rewards us extrinsically.

What this episode is about: 1. Personality and behaviour aren't different online vs. offline. The internet and social media is an extension of our lives and communication and so not completely separate. It has very real impacts on us, and how we interact with the world so it's important to understand that and manage your time and behaviour accordingly. 2.
