This is a powerful notion - the 'space' between stimulus and response. It is what sets us humans apart from all other animals on earth. What we do with that space - how we react to a situation and its embedded stimulus and emotions - is the greatest lever we have in defining a path. I bet we all would benefit from this reminder more often. I know I would. #decisions #leadership #psychology

My friend and visionary mentor Dr. Oleg Konovalov has published a new book called "The Fisherman’s Path to Leadership: 224 Lessons from the Wisdom of Nature" After reading a chapter from the book, the good Dr. Oleg has done it again! If you liked his book "The Vision Code" you will love this one. His lessons learned from the Wisdom of Nature are incredible and how he combines those lessons to life is stunning. #wisdom #visionaryleadership #vision #chiefhappinessofficer #woohoo #thisextraordinarylife #nature #teamcoaching You can buy the book on Amazon - link in comments 😁

In another recent episode, I chatted with New York Times Best-Selling Author, Daniel Pink about the Power of Regret. Dan is an world-renowned accomplished author and speaker. Among his most famous books are Drive and To sell is Human. I’m personally one of Dan’s huge fans because he artfully simplifies complicated concepts, he’s a fantastic story teller, and he always bases his work on evidence and scientific research. What we discussed: 1. What made you interested in the topic of ‘regret’? 2. What kind of research did you do for this book? 3. What are the four categories of regrets? And why these four? 4. You mention these 4 categories point us to the good life. What do you mean by that? 5. Action regrets and inaction regrets. What are they and which one is more common? 6. What’s the right thing to do when you feel regret? 7. What's Alfred Nobel's story of regret and why is it relevant to us?

Quote of the Day It's not about the quantity of books read in a single year, it's about how each book makes you self-reflect and challenge you own perspectives. In life, humans’ will think, act, and speak with great ignorance simply to avoid facing their own soul. I engineered The Pineapple Theory books from several worldwide travel and study with more than 10,000 years about human's emotional patterns. Your reading will push you at becoming a more self-reflective human and leader, and likely completely change your perspective about life by adding something more fruitful to your life, leadership, and business recipes. I'm the guinea pig of my own theory, I embody it, and it is available for everyone to cultivate the following philosophical purpose by returning to your authentic true self from the belief of your choosing: "Theoretically, what if adding a pineapple to people's life, leadership, and business recipes can assist living more "pineHapply," together?

If you could only read 12 books in 2024 and they all had to be books you'd already read, which ones would you choose to re-read? I struggle to re-read books because I'm always antsy to move on to the next thing. I've realized though that this discipline enables me to get the most out of great books by giving ideas the chance to take root. What would be worth re-reading for you?

Um, wow?! This is rad and I'm so thankful!💜🧡🤎 Reader's First just awarded my book a rare 5 star rating. This is a large independant author community with nearly half a million members. Apparently Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins regard them highly too. 😲 My goal on this book was to put something that served others, was something of high quality, based on brain science, based on what has worked in my career as a leader, and to have some fun. 🥅 And yes, I was, and still am, scared a bit to put myself out there this much. However, apparently, that's a good thing. Thanks to the many of you who encouraged me through the years!☺️ For my fellow LI friends... do your thing. Put yourself out there. You are worth it and your message and service are important. The fear is just noise. You are bigger than it. 🌎 https://lnkd.in/g7eSQq2C #leadership #resilience #innovation #newbook

It encapsulates everything I've encountered in philosophy and self-development, offering profound insights. If you've experienced post-COVID numbness or struggle with social anxiety, this is a must-read. The book skillfully explores the connections between influential minds and introduces The Pineapple Theory.
