  • In this episode of 'The Science of Self,' we welcome Mark Connor from St. Paul, Minnesota, a former competitive boxer turned boxing trainer and writer. Mark introduces his book, 'It's About Time: Millions of Copies Sold for Dad,' an autobiographical saga interwoven with poetry that explores his life, his relationship with his late father, and his spiritual journey. Mark discusses his re-embrace of his Catholic faith, the influence of his Irish heritage, and his deep connection with the Native American community through his work at a youth shelter. He also touches on the discipline and routine required in both writing and boxing, and the importance of taking the first step to achieve one's goals. Join us for a heartfelt conversation on faith, discipline, and the pursuit of personal excellence.

    37:36 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

    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.

    Mark Connor is a Literary Pugilist from Saint Paul, Minnesota. A lifelong boxer and Boxing Trainer, he runs a service called, Fighting Chance/Boxing For Life.

  • 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.

    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.
