  • Practical Secrets for Peak Performance (without the macho nonsense)

    Amantha Imber's "How I Work" podcast is a goldmine for productivity enthusiasts. The episode featuring Dr. Gabriella Rosen Kellerman on thriving in uncertain times was particularly illuminating. Imber's skillful interviewing unearthed Kellerman's wealth of knowledge on human flourishing in the workplace. I was struck by Kellerman's insights on prospection as a trust-building tool for leaders, and her emphasis on recognition as "almost a vaccine for a crisis of mattering." This podcast consistent... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why visualising success might be sabotaging you, with Nir Eyal (Part 2)
Q: I love that. Now I want to talk about visualization because so many so-called gurus say just like visualize the thing and it will come true, or we can manifest your way to success. Why does positive thinking and visualization actually backfire according to science?
The research shows that visualizing the end goal can lower motivation because it creates a sense of already achieving the reward, reducing the drive to work toward the actual steps. Athletes, instead, visualize obstacles and the strategies to overcome them, which prepares them for difficulty and maintains effort when challenges arise.
Feel stuck in small talk? Daniel Coyle shares the questions that create real connection.
Q: What actionable steps can listeners take to build community?
Start with small daily encounters, use rituals like shared meals or interest groups, and empower people with agency to shape their own spaces and moments of collaboration.
Feel stuck in small talk? Daniel Coyle shares the questions that create real connection.
Q: What makes a story compelling beyond the surface details?
A strong story hinges on a mystery, a relatable obstacle, and a transformation that invites the audience to see themselves in the narrative.
Feel stuck in small talk? Daniel Coyle shares the questions that create real connection.
Q: How do you mine your own life for stories?
Coyle emphasizes reflection, documenting personal experiences, testing stories aloud, and identifying universal questions that resonate with many people, then testing and refining until the core impact is clear.
Struggling to reach your goals? Nir Eyal explains the beliefs holding you back (Part 1)
Q: Why is rumination harmful, and how can we address it practically?
Rumination feels productive but distracts from real life and reinforces limiting beliefs; practical strategies like scheduling worry time and using a reality log can confine rumination to a set period, reducing its negative impact.
