Neuroscientists have found that the pleasure of grasping a new concept is a biochemical cascade that triggers a dose of natural narcotics. The process in itself of struggling to understanding is not fun, but once you get it, you feel fabulous. This breakthrough in understanding rewards the brain with opium like substances.

The brain getting its fix

The brain starts craving for a fix.This motivates humans to maximize the rate of which they absorb knowledge. Opioid receptors in the brain are linked to comprehension and interpretation of images. The greater the neural activity in this area, the greater the pleasure.

Knowledge junkies

Knowledge addiction is linked to mate selection. Perceived intelligence is more attractive (a brain over muscles preference). Gives a whole new meaning to 'sapiosexual', doesn't it? Neural Darwinism or competitive learning shows that a preference for novel concepts has evolutionary value.

Knowledge has evolutionary value

Competitive learning means that inhibited neurons are now free to code other stimulus patterns. More free thinking and more variable connections. We show an incredible real time selectivity for experiences that are richly interpretable and novel.

Unquenchable enthusiasm for new things

Amazing scientific insights on why humans learn: a connection between chemicals in our brain and the desire to understand the world around us.

'Thirst For Knowledge' May Be Opium Craving

“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.”

The only thing that we can truly control is our own attitude and reactions. Once we accept that, we can find happiness right where we are, irrespective of how things turn out. This was perhaps the hardest but the most necessary part of the transformation for me.

1. Let go of trying to control everything.

Every time we pretend to be someone, it takes us away from our true selves, and from our place of happiness. It was hard at first to stop trying to please others. Eventually I realized how liberating it was to dare to be myself!

2. Let go of trying to please everyone.

I often found myself asking “Why me?” It was hard to replace that with “Why not?” After all, everyone gets their share of joys and sorrows; why should I somehow be above it and deserve only the joys?

3. Let go of the sense of entitlement.

Unless we walk in the shoes of the other, we really don’t know the reason for their behavior. Carrying resentment only hurts us and delays any repair. I cannot tell you how amazing it’s been to let go of some of the resentment I didn’t even know I’d been carrying for years

4. Let go of resentment.

On the flip side, if we are the ones who made a mistake, it is time to forgive ourselves and make amends. “I’m sorry. How can I fix it?” can go a long way in starting the healing process.

5. Let go of guilt.

Neither apology nor forgiveness is possible without letting go of pride. Nor is there room for authentic connection where pride resides. Let it go.

6. Let go of pride.

If I had a dime for every opportunity I squandered in the quest for perfection, I’d be rich! But no one can be perfect all the time. That’s what makes us humans. We are quirky. We have flaws. We are beautiful just the way we are

7. Let go of perfectionism.

In any given situation we have a choice—look at what’s good and be grateful or look at what’s wrong and complain. Deliberately adopting the attitude of gratitude literally changed the course of my life.

8. Let go of negativity.

We are the average of the people we hang out with, and if they are frequently negative, it becomes hard for us to maintain an attitude of gratitude. It’s been a tough call to distance myself from people in my life who were bringing me down, but it was necessary to move on.

9. Let go of draining, unhealthy relationships.

Somewhere along the way, many of us have bought into the notion that the busier we are and the more we achieve, the happier we will be. After thirty-five years, I’ve come to realize that busyness does not equal happiness.

10. Let go of the busyness.

Money is definitely good to have, but once our basic needs and savings goals are met, it’s time to evaluate the tradeoff of earning more and more. Letting go of the need for money just for the sake of it has been a very hard but fulfilling experience for me.

11. Let go of the attachment to money

Everybody who tries anything worthwhile fails at some point or the other. Failure does not mean we are broken. It simply means we are courageous to dare! Easier said than done, but I’m trying.

12. Let go of the fear of failure.

Fundamentally, we all crave for connection. But when fear of abandonment starts to rule our lives, we make very irrational choices. I try to trust that what is meant to be will happen. And no matter how things turn out, we’ll come out of it okay.

13. Let go of the fear of abandonment.

We usually only get to see the highlights reel of other’s lives. Comparing my behind-the-scenes to that has only made me unhappy in the past. It’s time for change.

14. Let go of comparison.

In the end, the core of all my issues was that I expected things to be a certain way. I expected what a good spouse or a friend ought to act like. I expected my daughter to behave a certain way. I expected how situations should turn out. Heck, I even had fixed expectations of what happiness was! Letting go of expectations has helped everything else start to fall in place.

15. Let go of expectations.

how can we find true happiness if we are saddled down by the baggage of the past or fear of the future? Once I learned to let go of some of the above, I started to focus deliberately on today and now. Suddenly, music and beauty emerged from what was previously mundane. Is there a better way to find true happiness?Letting go of something that is ingrained in our minds for years is hard. In my experience, even when I do manage to let go of something some of the time, at other times, it comes right back. In the end, it’s the journey that matters.

16. Let go of yesterday and tomorrow.

We don't need to chase anything to be happy. Happiness is already within us. We just need to clear up some clutter to find it.

Understand yourself and those around you.

16 Things to Let Go to Live a Truly Happy Life

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9484114-the-happiness-advantage">The Happiness Advantage </a>turns the tables on happiness, by proving it’s a tool for success, instead of the result of it, and gives you 7 actionable principles you can use to increase both.

Book Summary 

"I could care less about it's half full or half empty - as long as I can fill it up."-Shawn Anchor

Author Quote 

Since it was the next suggested book after <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/happiness-summary/">Happiness </a>, and I told you yesterday that after reading that book you can go deeper into specific happiness tools and topics, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9484114-the-happiness-advantage">The Happiness Advantage </a> is a great next step. <a href="http://goodthinkinc.com/speaking/shawn-achor/">Shawn Achor </a> is one of the youngest happiness researchers out there, but his work in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology">positive psychology </a> spreads like wildfire. It’s no coincidence he talks about the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect">butterfly effect </a>, he’s living it – <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/shawn_achor_the_happy_secret_to_better_work">his TED talk </a> is among the <a href="https://www.ted.com/playlists/171/the_most_popular_talks_of_all">20 most popular TED talks of all time </a>.

Book Overview 

<ol><li>Happiness comes before success, not after it. </li><li>You can train yourself to be optimistic with “The Tetris Effect”. </li><li>Fall up instead of down. </li> </ol>There are 7 principles in the book in total, but these 3 stood out most to me. Let’s take a look.

Top 3 Book Lessons 

This is the core message of the book. The book quotes a study done by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Seligman">Martin Seligman </a>, the “father” of positive psychology, where <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201007/how-workplace-happiness-can-boost-productivity">the happiness of 272 employees was monitored over 18 months </a>. Those who were happier before the study achieved more success later on. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Instead of trying to become successful, so you can finally be happy in the distant future, try to become happy right now, so you’ll be successful later .

Lesson 1: Happy people become successful, not the other way around.

Which sounds easier? Making a million bucks, or increasing your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin">serotonin </a>levels a bit by watching a funny video, so you can score better on a math test later today, since serotonin also improves your memory? Of course this is oversimplified, but being happy is really all about your <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/mindset-summary/">mindset </a>. You can’t always influence what happens to you, but you can change your attitude.

For example, <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090417084115.htm">research has shown </a>that just anticipating something you’re looking forward to (like that funny video), <a href="http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/04/12/get-ready-to-laugh-even-anticipating-laughter-raises-endorphin-levels.htm">can boost your endorphin levels by 27% </a>.

I had no clue about this. Really cool. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect">The Tetris effect </a> is what happens when you spend hours on end doing one particular activity. Your brain becomes so engaged, that the environment of the activity spills over to the rest of your life. Shawn Achor says this can be positive or negative. In the case of Tetris, people started optimizing their environment, and <a href="http://bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1756-0500-2-174">became more efficient </a>.

Lesson 2: Train your brain to spot positives with “The Tetris Effect”.

Similarly, you can train your brain to spot the positive things in your life,  in order to <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/learned-optimism-summary/">become more optimistic </a>. For example you can start a gratitude ritual, where you write down 3 things you’re grateful for each day.  <a href="http://niklasgoeke.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/gratitude-streak.jpg">I’ve done this for 3 years now </a>and it puts a positive spin on your day, no matter what happened.

After each failure, crisis or catastrophe, 3 possible things can happen: <ol><li>Nothing changes. </li><li>You’re caught in a downward spiral, and more bad things follow. </li><li>You come back stronger than ever before. </li> </ol>

Lesson 3: Fall up instead of down, by using failures as a stepping stone.

Obviously, you have to shoot for scenario number 3 as often as possible. Speaking of scenarios: Following a bad event, your brain always makes up alternative scenarios. These are called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfactual_thinking">counterfacts </a>and this is where you get to take control. You have to choose to believe the alternative scenario, that will lead to you working harder, instead of less.

Here’s an example: When <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/mindset-summary/">Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team </a>, he could have believed that if only he was taller, he’d have been picked. But he can’t influence his height, so that would not have made him work harder. Instead, he believed that if only he was better, he’d have been picked.  This led him to practice like a madman the next summer and the rest is history.

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9484114-the-happiness-advantage">The Happiness Advantage </a> was really cool. I didn’t expect the major insight here, which was that happiness must come before success.  The idea is radical and eliminates the common excuses along the lines of “I’ll be happy if X happens”. Some of the principles felt like additional tips for <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/learned-optimism-summary/">Learned Optimism </a>, while others draw on the benefits of <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/better-than-before-summary/">better habits </a> or your <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/the-magic-of-thinking-big-summary/">perceived reality </a>.

The Happiness Advantage Review

As a video game nerd, I loved “The Tetris Effect”, and falling up, Achor has a great way of using metaphors and images to make his point. A great follow-up read to falling up instead of down is <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/the-obstacle-is-the-way-summary/">The Obstacle is The Way </a>by Ryan Holiday. Very refreshing set of blinks, thumbs up!

The 40 year old parents, who won’t let their 12 year old be consumed by video games or another seemingly unimportant activity, the 64 year old, who’s just about to retire, but still keeps complaining about how terrible politics are, and anyone who goes to bed already worrying about tomorrow’s problems.

Who would I recommend The Happiness Advantage to?

The Happiness Advantage summary shows you it's a tool for success, instead of the result, and gives you 7 principles to increase both. Read in 3 minutes.

The Happiness Advantage Summary

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.

Imagination shapes reality. All power lies within your mind. It’s your thoughts and choices that make magic happen. The more you trust yourself, the better your judgments will be.

Personal Development

Quote by Alice Walker

If our time costs $50 bucks an hour, then you're wasting a $2000 a week & further $100000 a year.

Net Time Value (NTV

The schedule is what you need to follow & reject what others say about it. Its your choice whether you want to be the wall-breaker or a wall painter with a mug of paint (time) in your hand.

Your Intuition 

Schedule your next day, with a minimum of 50% accuracy but at the end of the week, it should surge to atleast 51% for the next week.

Schedule

Negotiate with yourself, the battle b/w mind vs brain is always terrifying, but once you lose, you keep losing for a span of minimum 10 days.

Mid Process

Habits are a part of Mind vs Brain battle, when you win at doing a task consecutively at a perfect rate it becomes a habit.That's the simplest definition

Best Advice To Make A Good Plan For Your Own Success: Jordan B Peterson's Inspirational Message

Making Schedule Work for us : Jordan B Peterson

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoda">Yoda </a>is one of the strongest, most inspiring, and most beloved characters in <a href="https://www.starwars.com/">Star Wars </a>. He first appeared in the 1980 sequel to <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/">the original movie </a>(<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080684/?ref_=tt_sims_tt_t_1">Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back </a>) and instantly became a fan favorite. If you’re looking for the best Yoda quotes, you’ve come to the right place! As he said when first encountering Luke Skywalker: “Looking? Found someone you have, eh?”

In this organized list, we’ve compiled the most popular Yoda quotes for you, based on how often we see them online and in pop culture. While there’s a clear #1, there’s no exact data on the others, but in general, our top 10 should hold up pretty well. We’ve also included Nik’s 20 favorite additional quotes, a little of Yoda’s backstory, and some guidance on why studying his quotes is worthwhile. Finally, we used an AI art generator to create some cool images for you to share your favorite Yoda quotes on social media.

You can easily navigate this list by jumping to any section that interests you using the table of contents below. If you want to share a quote, simply highlight the text, and sharing options for all major social media platforms will appear. Alternatively, you can also use the images we created for you in the last section of this list. Ready to learn you are, I hope. Here goes our list of the best quotes from Master Yoda!

Since his debut, Yoda has been featured in countless movies, comics, spinoffs, and other aspects of the Star Wars franchise, itself one of the most popular stories in history. <a href="https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Yoda">Yoda </a>is a tiny green creature of unknown origin. Despite his somewhat reptilian features, he has a human-like form, resembling a cross between a goblin, human, tortoise, and elf (his ears are pointy). Yoda is over 800 years old when we first meet him. As such, he has been the Grand Master of the Jedi Order—a cult of warrior-monks protecting the galaxy—for a long time.

Who Is Yoda?

In Star Wars, Yoda is the best of the good guys. His ability to wield “the Force”—the invisible “life power” the Jedi direct and rely on in their quests—is unparalleled. He’s also an excellent fighter with a lightsaber, the Jedi’s weapon of choice. Finally, Yoda teaches all younglings, young children with Jedi powers, before they transition into 1-on-1 student-master relationships to complete their training.

Throughout the Star Wars movie, he takes more of an advisor role, but we do get to see him fight a good bit as well. One of few survivors of “Order 66,” a mass killing order against all Jedi that led to the rise of the dark Galactic Empire, Yoda first goes into exile to contemplate on his failure to foresee this coup. He later returns to train Luke Skywalker and do his part in restoring the good Republic. When Yoda dies at 900 years old, he becomes part of the Force and thus can still appear to other Jedi in ghost-form.

While watching Yoda fight is pretty cool, his biggest strength lies in his wisdom. He is known for talking in a jumbled style and offering riddles more so than straight-up advice, but every single one of his words is carefully chosen and hits hard. In a way, Yoda is the original self-help guru. He’s the first person everyone turns to when they need advice. The best thing Yoda can offer is perspective shifts. His quotes often flip common notions upside down, showing us we’ve been focused on the wrong aspect of a situation. This is incredibly powerful.

What Can We Gain From Studying Yoda’s Quotes?

A perspective shift takes your thinking to a higher level. Instead of simply attacking an obstacle with force (pun intended), you might find a way over it, under it, or around it. You may even realize what you thought was a problem isn’t an issue at all or that you can safely ignore it and still stay on the right path.

If you do <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%22do%20or%20do%20not%22,there%20is%20no%20try,fear%20is%20the%20path%20to%20the%20dark%20side,yoda%20quotes">a Google Trends analysis </a>, you’ll see that “there is no try” ranks far above other Yoda quotes in search volume. It also outpaces the general search for Yoda quotes, suggesting people are even more likely to remember that one line than who it came from. Therefore, this quote takes the #1 spot. We did some further analysis, and, based on search interest relative to one another, these are Yoda’s 10 greatest hits:

The 10 Most Popular Quotes From Yoda

1. “No! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.”

2. “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

3. “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. Here, between you, me, the tree, the rock—everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.”

4. “Patience you must have, my young Padawan.”

5. “I don’t believe it!” “That is why you fail.”

6. “Great warrior. Hmm. Wars not make one great.”

7. “You must unlearn what you have learned.”

8. “A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.”

9. “Pass on what you have learned. Strength, mastery, hmm… but weakness, folly, failure, also. Yes, failure, most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is.”

10. “Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.”

I have watched every Star Wars movie and most of its related TV shows, many of them twice. I’ve seen Yoda’s scenes many times. Here are the lines from him that most stand out to me and that I go back to time and again:

My 20 Favorite Yoda Quotes

11. “Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.”

12. “Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view.”

13. “If no mistake have you made, yet losing you are, a different game you should play.”

14. “Named must your fear be, before banish it you can.”

15. “Yes, [I am] afraid. Hmm, surprised are you? A challenge lifelong it is, not to bend fear into anger.”

16. “When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back.”

17. “Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will.”

18. “The boy you trained, gone he is. Consumed by Darth Vader.”

19. “What’s in [that cave]?” “Only what you take with you.”

20. “A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was.”

21. “Secret, shall I tell you? Grand Master of Jedi Order am I. Won this job in a raffle I did, think you? ‘How did you know, how did you know, Master Yoda?’ Master Yoda knows these things. His job it is.”

22. “No longer certain, that one ever does win a war, I am. For in fighting the battles, the bloodshed, already lost we have.”

23. “Smaller in number are we, but larger in mind.”

24. “Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.”

25. “Looking? Found someone you have, eh?”

26. “Your path you must decide.”

27. “A Jedi’s strength flows from the Force.”

28. “Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things.”

29. “To be Jedi is to face the truth, and choose. Give off light, or darkness, Padawan. Be a candle, or the night.”

30. “We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.”

Perhaps you can tell, but Yoda’s wisdom is clearly inspired by Eastern philosophies, like Buddhism and Zen. He reminds me of a Kung Fu master, like Bruce Lee, who mainly uses rigorous physical practice as a way to master the mind and spirit. From Yoda’s point of view, most problems originate from fear. It’s the #1 thing he warns other Jedi of. “Don’t let fear get the better of you. Once you do, it can transform into all kinds of emotions that’ll drive you to do bad things.” That’s the gist of his message.

Yoda is also big on acceptance, another common theme in Eastern philosophy. Instead of trying to turn reality into some desired future, we should accept it as it is and work with what we’ve got.

Self-confidence Quote by Rabindranath Tagore

We all know about the achievements of One of the Most popular Former Indian Cricketer Mahendra singh dhoni. Now, Let’s peep inside his properties which made him, what he is.

How Ticket Collector Became The MS Dhoni

<ul><li>Don’t complicate things, avoid unnecessary chaos. </li><li>See pressure as a opportunity to perform even better. </li><li>Aggression is waste of TIME & ENERGY. </li><li>Detachment from desired result is most important. </li><li>Simplification of a goal is an exercise of the mind. e.g. 200 runs in 20 overs.</li><li>’What ifs’, ‘then whats’ paralysesthe thought process. </li></ul>

Right Attitude

You should have an idea of the steps and outcome of what you are doing e.g.If you want to lose weight, you need to exercise and take care of the diet, they are connected like Lose weight- exercise. Similarly, <ul><li>Want to be calmer- Meditate. </li><li>Crack an Interview- Prepare. </li><li>Business Decision- Strategise. </li></ul>Ignore everything else like anger, frustration, fear, confusion, overthinking etc.

Follow The Process

Don't get too much attached to anything in life because Attachment leads to Thinking then Overthinking and then obsessing.

Detachment

Live in the present moment, don’t regret the past and don’t worry about the future, just do the best thing you can do presently wherever you are. At any point of time (Happy or Sad), Always say to yourself- “THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

Carpe Diem

<ul><li>Take a peaceful walk home without thinking/carrying office baggage home. </li><li>Keep yourself between the Praise line and Criticism line. Be same in all situations, neither excited nor depressed. </li><li>Prioritising your day/work is significantly important. </li><li>Take time to unwind the mind and body. </li><li>LEADERSHIP is mental skill- part natural, part acquired. </li></ul>
