      ruclips.net/video/iiKr-i022mY/видео.html Excess money forces investment in technology and creates forced unemployment. People can't achieve the technological knowledge demanded by the market because that changes very fast. The Progressive Growth of the Money Supply Principle (year 2013) will stop this madness, because the Principle tells us the exact quantity of new money the economy needs to works correctly, driving us to the Wicksell interest rate or natural interest.

      @Zoe There's lots of flavors of bipolar. Not sure how much he went into it-- but yeah-- There are whole systems of the mind controlling us outside our active consciousness. Some say it is like another person. This is what ad companies target to win us over. Our feelings/ intuition/ subconcious, or whatever you wanna call it. Of course yes, when we observe it, the irrational parts can be brought to light and corrected/ prevented. Of course stress/ very stressful situations muddle things up/ if we are or become sensitive enough, things can go out of our control (the higher order thinking parts of the brain shut off and subconscious literally takes over when we are stressed enough; the brain is a funny thing, but makes sense evolutionarily when being attacked at least, for sure. Anxiety is a killer too tho, and the demons can be imaginary yet all too real in the mind. Gratitude and working on resilience/ prevention can go a long ways)

      Méditation is just based on that, when you pay attention to your breath and avoid being distracted by your thoughts you can calm your mind.
      Our thoughts change the way that we feel, which subsequently changes the way that we act. It's called the cognitive triangle and it's the foundation of CBT therapy.

      This is only one layer of meditation. Some schools don’t consider using mental force or energy to bring back focus as meditation. Instead, letting the mind wander BUT being the watcher of the mind, is of a higher and deeper level of consciousness.
      To bring back the mind from wondering required you to entangle yourself with it. Subverting your awareness for thought.

    2. Focus can help with mastery.
    3. Mind wandering can be good when looking for a creative solutions.
    4. Poor attention results in distraction which in turn results in stress.
    5. There are three types of Empathy. Empathetic concerns, cognitive and emotional.
    6. Paying attention is a rare commodity these days.
    7. It can be improved through practice. Its like a muscle.
    8. Use breathing buddy for kids to help with mindfulness practice
    9. Practicing breathing can help gaining more attention and mindfulness. Focus on breath.
    10. Manage emotions - Red, Yellow, Green.

    I happened onto this video while I was driving during a particularly frazzled period. I was driving to distract myself so I drove for a couple of hours which allowed me to listen to the entire lecture. When the video arrived at the part about how breathing exercise shifts the brains activity from right to left, I began to focus on my breath for the next 30 minutes. By the time my drive ended, my frazzled state dissipated. I left so relieved. Thank you Mr Goleman!

    I love how Daniel Goleman shut that dude down towards the end, as he came with an already made inductive argument of an entire group of people and children being all violent , and all tainted due to their genetic makeup. He reaffirms that the behaviors are largely situational, not genetic. That same dangerously small minded rhetoric was the basis of writings like the "Willy Lynch Letters".

      What you choose to interpret as preexisting anger is the expression of a very well-researched field. The science on race, in terms of morphology, physiology, biochemistry, intelligence, delayed gratification, disease resistance, behavior, performance and culture make it vitally clear that there exist vast differences between the races. Race is real. Race exists. As such, there are individuals who look upon race as Race Realists. Do you have a tough time differentiating between a Pygmy and a Western European? That bell curve very simply and beautifully illustrates why Africa and Haiti are brazenly high-fertility, corruption-plagued hell-holes and why Ashkenazi Jews have earned a vastly disproportionate number of Nobel prizes. As the member of the audience pointed out in the question, reporting on these differences often gathers the wrath of the indignant who would rather ignore the painfully obvious and anoint the 'underprivileged' as victims. To wit: It is scarcely the same thing to put a man on the moon as to put a bone in your nose.

We have no internal motivation or reward system, have a poor executive function system, and yet creatively find ways to make it through life surrounded by neurotypical people. The world isn't built around our brains and it's needs, so our existence alone requires incredible feat and perseverance.
    You discussed how distracting our world has become, however it's only a fraction of what our world has always been, including when our brains were being developed and habits were being learned, plus we endured huge social stigma by people who don't understand the condition.

    I really appreciate this talk and respect the speaker. Having said that, I also have that feeling of 'how some Western disciplines, psychologists, therapists, etc have taken deep and ancient knowledge of Eastern cultures (Buddhism, Hinduism... ), reshaped it and then sold it as something new and innovative. ' On the other hand, I also think that this may contribute to expand this valuable knowledge and make it more accessible to a larger number of people.

    Addiction is far more complicated but it's true some people are more likely to become addict-types from an early age. Addition is often a way of handling stress a feedback loop system where a person drinks, smokes or uses drugs to control and manage negative feelings, a coping mechanism that becomes integral to that persons sense of well-being. Also a form of escapism for many to avoid dealing with those internalised feelings. And even a form of self-sabotage avoidance to avoid doing things, facing fears, rejection or failure.

My generation have children that are now either in college or establishing families of their own. All these poor behaviors and habits are being passed down to the next generation.
