How to be the thinker that can excel in any environment.

This is a book like no other - together, we will analyze the roots of da

We all know the feeling: you set a goal, you're fired up, and then...BAM! You skip the gym, indulge in that extra slice of cake, and your grand plans go out the window. This frustrating phenomenon is called akrasia, and it's been puzzling philosophers for centuries.

In this video, we'll explore akrasia through the lens of two great thinkers: Plato and Nietzsche. We'll see how Plato viewed akrasia as a misunderstanding of what's truly good for us, while Nietzsche saw it as a potential within us – the will to power – that can be channeled for good or bad.

But fear not! We'll also delve into practical strategies to combat akrasia and develop rock-solid self-discipline. You'll learn how to:

Use mini-rewards to make achieving goals feel good in the present moment.

Set small, achievable goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Leverage the power of rituals and habits to make positive actions automatic.

Focus your will to power on worthy goals and resist distractions.

By understanding akrasia and using these powerful strategies, you'll be well on your way to achieving your goals and becoming the best version of yourself.

This episode, titled "Philosophies On Self-Discipline," draws inspiration from the book of the same name by Peter Hollins, available for more exploration on his website at bitly.slashPeterHollins.

Have you ever wondered what makes a genius?

In this video, we'll dive deep into our guide to unlock the secrets of the genius mindset. We'll explore the four key pillars that underpin extraordinary intellectual achievement:

Insatiable Curiosity: Great minds are driven by a relentless desire to learn and understand the world around them. This passion fuels their lifelong journey of exploration and discovery.

Willpower & Discipline: Turning curiosity into action requires dedication and hard work. Geniuses understand the importance of consistent effort and delayed gratification.

Intellectual Honesty: Genuine learning demands humility and the ability to admit mistakes. Letting go of ego and embracing a willingness to learn is essential for intellectual growth.

A Dash of Polymathy: The most brilliant minds are often well-rounded and interested in a wide range of subjects. This broad perspective allows them to make connections across disciplines and foster groundbreaking ideas.

By understanding these core principles, we can all begin to cultivate the genius mindset within ourselves. So, are you ready to unleash your intellectual potential? Watch now and discover the secrets to becoming a master learner!

The 80-20 Learner: Shortcuts to Fluency, Knowledge, Skills, and Mastery (Learning how to Learn Book 24) By: Peter Hollins

Hear it Here - https://adbl.co/3NGOSXs

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJRMVCZM

Feeling overwhelmed by information overload? You're not alone! In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get bogged down by the sheer volume of stuff we're expected to learn. But what if there was a better way?

In his book, The 80/20 Learner, Peter Hollins reveals the secrets to mastering the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule. This powerful principle states that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. By applying this principle to your learning, you can achieve dramatic results in a fraction of the time.

In this video, we'll break down the key takeaways from The 80/20 Learner, showing you how to:

Identify the 20% of knowledge that will give you 80% of the results

Develop a ruthless minimalist mindset for learning

Eliminate wasted time and focus on what truly matters

Learn and memorize anything faster with the 80/20 approach

Apply the 80/20 principle to studying, reading, language learning, and more

Whether you're a student, professional, or simply someone who wants to learn more effectively, The 80/20 Learner is a game-changer. Watch this video to discover the secrets to unlocking your full learning potential and achieving your goals faster than ever before!

The link to the book: https://adbl.co/3NGOSXs

"In summary, the Pareto principle, or 80/20 rule, highlights that a small percentage of inputs often contribute to the majority of outputs. We can leverage this in learning by focusing on the vital few – the most impactful methods, concepts, and strategies. This applies to studying, reading, language learning, and memory techniques. By identifying and prioritizing these key elements, you can significantly enhance your learning efficiency and achieve more with less effort.

Remember to apply the 80/20 rule strategically, considering the unique context of each learning situation.

For a deeper dive into the 80/20 Learner and how to master this powerful principle, I highly recommend picking up Peter Hollins' book. It's available on Amazon, and the audiobook is available on Amazon, iTunes, and Audible.

Psychological Triggers: Human Nature, Irrationality, and Why We Do What We Do. The Hidden Influences Behind Our Actions, Thoughts, and Behaviors. (Understand Your Brain Better)

By: Peter Hollins

Hear it Here - https://bit.ly/psychologicaltriggershollins

Understand, avoid, and defeat the subconscious causes of your irrational and self-defeating behaviors. It’s only human nature.

A psychological trigger is something that causes us to act out of urgency - not correctness or even happiness. It’s a switch that is flipped outside of our consciousness. This is fertile ground for some of the worst decisions of our lives.

Seize control and of your impulses and make better decisions.

Psychological Triggers is an introduction to yourself - your impulses, your desires, and everything in your subconscious that drives you to action. It answers the question, “Why did I just make a terrible choice when I know I shouldn’t have?”

We are all slaves to our triggers, and this book seeks to identify them to better battle them. We might think we are making our decisions independently and out of free will, but you’ll discover that to be far from reality.

Master your psychology, master your life.

Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.

Think clearly and triumph over your human nature.

•The triggering effects of social pressure and conformity.

•How everyday emotions are behind some of the most powerful triggers.

•Natural, biological, evolutionary human drives - can you regulate them?

•Simple thinking traps we all fall victim to.

•The notion of free will and whether it truly exists.

Beat psychological triggers, reclaim your free will, and irrationality.

Is purely rational thinking, devoid of emotion and human drives, a reality? Probably not. But you can certainly live free from your worst impulses and irrational hunches, which are what psychological triggers create more often than not. See yourself thrive from consistently making beneficial decisions and defeating your primal psychology.

Description: Explore the hidden drivers behind irrational behavior! Join psychologist Peter Hollins as he uncovers how deeply ingrained biases, societal influences, past experiences, emotions, fears, traumas, and more can trigger our worst actions.

Rapid Knowledge Acquisition & Synthesis: How to Quickly Learn, Comprehend, and Apply, and Master New Information and Skills (Learning how to Learn Book 11) By Peter Hollins

Hear it Here - https://bit.ly/rapidknowledge

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DMZNGZ8

In this video, we'll dive into the fascinating world of learning and knowledge acquisition, uncovering the secrets to becoming a master learner. We'll discuss two main models of learning: single and double loop learning, and how each one can help you adapt and grow in your personal and professional life. Get ready to revolutionize your approach to learning with these groundbreaking methods!

Single and Double Loop Learning Explained:

* Single loop learning is the traditional method we've all been taught since elementary school. It focuses on achieving specific outcomes, like doing well in exams, without exploring the underlying reasons for our mistakes or errors. This approach can be limiting and doesn't allow for much growth beyond surface-level learning.

* Double loop learning, on the other hand, is a more advanced and effective method of information synthesis and processing. It encourages constant feedback and introspection, helping you evolve your learning techniques and understand the purpose behind them. This holistic approach fosters curiosity and leads to better, long-term learning outcomes.

Adapt and Grow: Embracing a Growth Mindset:

* Those with a fixed mindset are more likely to stick with single loop learning due to its familiarity and lack of self-reflection. However, recognizing this tendency is the first step towards adopting a growth mindset, which is crucial for mastering double loop learning.

* Embrace failure as a natural part of learning and personal growth. By acknowledging our limitations and embracing the challenges that come with them, we open ourselves up to new opportunities for expansion and understanding.

Theory-in-Use and Applying These Concepts in Your Life:

* The theory-in-use is a critical component of double loop learning, as it involves questioning our assumptions and beliefs about the world around us. By examining our own perspectives, we can identify areas for growth and improvement, ultimately leading to more effective learning habits.

* Apply these concepts to your daily life by practicing self-awareness and reflection. Constantly ask yourself why you're doing what you're doing, and whether there are better ways to achieve your goals. This mindset shift will help you unlock the full potential of double loop learning and foster a lifelong love for learning.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to revolutionize your approach to learning and personal growth. By understanding and applying the concepts of single and double loop learning, as well as embracing a growth mindset, you'll be well on your way to becoming a master learner. Stay tuned for more tips and strategies that can help you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential!

Remember to share this video with friends, family, and colleagues who are also passionate about personal growth and self-improvement. Together, we can create a community of lifelong learners who are always seeking new ways to expand their horizons and achieve success in all areas of life.

It's About Time (Millions of Copies Sold for Dad) is a saga wrapped around a package of poems, guarded by Angels. With a narrative style that reads like a novel, contains a collection of poetry, and shares an autobiography, Mark Connor guides us through a journey of love, family, and life that is ours as much as his own, peaking at the point of merger of difference and unity. Following him from memory to memory, we feel the eyes upon us, defeat the empire of fear, embrace the kingdom of love, and find ten minutes a day to be grateful. All the while, we celebrate the city of Saint Paul (with a friendly nod to Minneapolis), experience Irish influence in neighborhood life, rooted in Catholic cohesion, embraced by indigenous America in the medicine wheel. We box the perfect metaphor with future world champions, love beauty in a moment of ambivalence, work on a fishing boat in Southeast Alaska, comfort a child in an American Indian shelter for kids, and guard American Indian buildings, with guns, in riots. Through it all, we honor Dad, mourning his death and remembering his love, sharing a story written for America, valuing fatherhood, defending family, encouraging marriage, and providing hope.
