Hi Brian! Again: Thanks so much for your work. I learn so much and get SO inspired. Had a little idea to you: I just love reading your "Philosophers Notes"....it would be great to have them in a Kindle E-book....What about launching a book with subtitle: "1.000 great ideas to optimize your life from the top 200 books of life-optimazation"... well, well, anyway, your contribution to people is already amazing :)
***** You're awesome. Thank you, Herlof!! Love the idea and love the fact you thought of it and took the time to share. Thank you!! Seed planted. For now, I'm super focused on getting 250 new Notes done this year along with the 350 new videos! (And, we're working on making all the Notes mobile + tablet-friendly for our membership!)
It's truly amazing what you do!thank you so much :) I am passing all this to my son(10 years old),you are helping next generation as well :)have another awesome day :)
merita leight Ah! That's AMAZING, Merita!! So thrilled to hear you're sharing this with your son. Makes me think you might like this: I created this class for an elite prep school in LA (one of the best in the world). Their incoming freshmen students (about your son's age!) take it the summer before they start. brianjohnson.me/optimal-living-101/ (It's part of our membership program. If cash is tight, just email support@brianjohnson.me and let them know I asked you to email to get hooked up!)
This book and video give me self-efficacy. It changed my mindset towards success. We can improve our lives by ourselves. It totally depends on our efforts and it's never too late. Keep thinking with our brain and keep improving gradually. We should be obsessed with not success but our own growth. It brings us the next stage. We can start now.
Great video! Guru Johnson! Deliberate practice should always include visualization, rest, recovery, nutrition, and affirmation! As coach John Wooden has demonstrated, discipline in every area of life is a necessary part of deliberate practice.
Brian, really like your work, ive been following you for a long time. Absolutely love your videos and your work ethic that pops out the screen. Recently ive been noticing that, even though you talk about different books, they are somehow, monotematic in the sence of overly analyze how to be perfect (even though youve talked about not being perfect. I see that on a bigger picutre). I would love to see more videos like the one of the The Paradox of Choice. Thar really was fresh content to me, and far from trying to optimize habits, I saw that video more like, a persuit for knowledge and understanding, more that trying to make a safe and perfect path. Thats just my point of view and something different from all the fully deserved messages congratulating you on the comment box. Let me thank you for all your inspiring work and keep up! I am form Uruguay, just to let you know that your gift has been well spread down the south of our planet haha... that is amazing. Regards!
Pikoro09 Thanks for sharing! I totally hear ya and appreciate you sharing! Let me know if there are any books in particular you'd like to see/think I'd love!
***** Sure! one book I loved was Theory of the leisure class. I think it tells a lot about how our brains had been rewired to a consumption systm and it definetley told me a lot about how I sometimes persecute happines on superfluous stuff. Another one I can think of right now is one you surely read, How to win friends and influence people. I would love to see your take on it. I really appreciate your attitude towards your audience. My fav channel for sure! Regards Brian!
Awesome. Thank you!! Theory of the Leisure Class looks interesting and great call on How to Win Friends--got it (again--can't find my old copy :) and will def review it soon. Appreciate your support and kind words! Optimize is now free! Sign up/tell your friends! www.optimize.me
Deliberate practice, hard work, you name it. These are not the real causes of expert performance. The question is: what drives someone to put 10.000 hours for a decade to practice something? Yes, social support is important (your family, your coach), but this comes after they see you are serious about what you are doing. The root cause is motivation -of the autonomous type. Alas, Colvin and followers don’t address this point. Deliberate practice is the behavioral drive but not the root cause.
I refer you to The Road To Excellence: The Acquisition of Expert Performance in the Arts and Sciences, Sports, and Games. Of particular interest, I think, is chapter 10 by Ellen Winner, The Rage to Master.
I want to become a great gymnmast so bad, and I work much, much harder than most people... They are still learning so much faster than me because they have better genetics for this sport. I hope so bad that my hard work will really pay of some day!
Hey Brian Johnson, is studying and learning your profession (x-ray technician, lawyer, computer engineer, etc) from a teacher part of the hard work a person should do to reach master level?

thanks for the talk, Brian. ok give me ten years and you'll hear about me in either of literature/art/music - but not sport, as i'm past my prime. thanks )
I listened to this book about 7 times in 45 days, the information about Mozart, the school of Violinists from Munich, the father and mother that trained 3 Chess world players daughters ,and much more...I feel that I can do it too
The only problem is that the evidence doesnt indicate 10,000 hours.The data in fact shows no correlation between practice hours and competency.Most top performers have already reached elite ranks within a few years of first engaging in that activity. In fact it only takes 4 years to train a talented person to reach olympic level at any given sport.An average person could not do this in 15 years. Talent is very real, and yes you do need it to reach elite ranks.Sorry to burst your bubbles....
rivenz6 ... data shows no correlation between practice hours and competency?? Where have you been? What data/studies are you referring to? Please research the work of Anders Ericsson. He has study after study all finding the same thing. More deliberate practice (not just hours doing a task) is EXTREMELY correlated with top performance. 10k hours is not a guarantee of the best but rather the price of entry to the top. The best put in more time than that. For reference read “Peak” by Anders. And/Or “The Road to Excellence” by Anders and others. Talent may give some a 1/4 mile headstart, but mastery is an ultra-marathon. If they don’t put in the work, hard work will easily beat talent. By the way, it’s also foolish to say that all the exercise/sports/etc. that happen before training specifically for a certain Olympic endeavor have no bearing on their results. How kids are raised from a very early age has a lot to do with their potential to be an Olympic athlete.

The Mozart thing is just wrong. Mozart was a gifted child since he was born and already stunning royalty and aristocrats since he was a small child. If you want to talk about someone who had to work for it it was beethoven.
Brian you are truly an awesome person. I wish you health and prosperity
Signing up later on today
Thanks
The biggest idea today was "Rose blooming". What a concept! It puts you in the right mindset!
elenafissa Yes!!!
Fantastic work Brian you simplify complicated ideas so well

Mozart did look out of the window and see other kids playing outside. That pain of lost childhood, Mozart knew it well.
