Some Takeaways – From Susan

  • The purpose of greater levels of emotional agility is for true resilience and thriving
  • What Susan says about the rigidity of the conventional view of emotions is the conventional view of emotions as good or bad, positive or negative, is rigid and rigidity in the face of complexity is toxic

  • ‘Being positive’ has become “a new form of moral correctness”
  • When Susan mentioned “Dead People’s Goals” she meant that only dead people never get unwanted or inconvenienced by their feelings, only dead people never get stressed, never get broken hearts, never experience the disappointments that come with failure
  • How Susan defines discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life
  • Susan suggests that instead of saying “I am sad”, to instead say I’m noticing that i’m feeling sad

Video: There’s more to life than being happy | Emily Esfahani Smith

Some Takeaways – From Emily:

  • The data shows that chasing happiness can make people unhappy
  • A lack of having meaning in life according to research is a predictor of despair
  • Psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment
  • Studies show that people who have meaning in their lives are more resilient, they do better at school and at work, and they live longer
  • The four pillars of a meaningful life: 1. Belonging: comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for who you are intrinsically and where you value others as well  2. Purpose: Is less about what you want than about what you give, the key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others 3. Transcendence: transcendence states are those rare moments when you’re lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality 4. Storytelling: The story you tell yourself about yourself
  • Now, finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that
    makes you happy. Purpose is less about what you want than about what you give
  • Transcendence states are those rare moments when you’re lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality

Video: Dr Lucy Hone | The Three Secrets of Resilient People

Some Takeaways – From Lucy:

  • First strategy of resilient people: They know that when tough times come suffering is part of every human existence and they know that suffering is a part of life, and knowing this stops you feeling discriminated against when the tough times come
  • Second strategy of resilient people: Resilient people are really good at choosing carefully where they select their attention, habit of realistically appraising situations and typically manage to focus on the things that they can change and somehow accept the things they can’t
  • Third strategy of resilient people: Resilient people ask themselves “Is what i’m doing helping or harming me?”, asking yourself whether what you’re doing, the way you’re thinking, the way you’re acting is helping or harming you, puts you back in the drivers seat. It gives you some control over your decision making
  • The fives stages of grief: 1. Anger 2. Bargaining 3. Denial 4. Depression 5. Acceptance
