Some Takeaways – According to Amy:

• There are three kinds of destructive beliefs that make us less effective and rob us of our mental strength

  1. Unhealthy beliefs about ourselves

  2. Unhealthy beliefs about others, thinking that other people can control us which gives away our power (Amy addresses here External Locus of control)

  3. Unhealthy beliefs about the world. Thinking that the world owes us something. Amy’s Example: Thinking, “If I put in enough hard work, then I deserve success”. (Amy gives an example here of a cognitive distortion)

Some Takeaways – From Dan:

• What is the basic insight we need to want to change our behaviour: We have to change out environment
• What way is behavioural change the same as sending a rocket to space: 1. To reduce friction, we want to take the rocket and have as little friction as possible so it’s the most aerodynamic possible 2. To give it as much fuel as possible to give it the most motivation, energy to do its task (and behaviour change is the same thing)
• What the story of “friction” tell us with regard to generic and branded prescriptions: That people hated returning letters (i.e. friction, small things really matter) and that by reducing the friction throughout the process that the majority of people switched to generic prescriptions in this example
• In the example of saving 10 shillings at the beginning of the week, the method was called Pre-match (or pre-match or post-match depending on the method)

Some Takeaways – From Nadine:

• Childhood trauma: Folks who are exposed in very high doses, have triple the lifetime risk of heart disease and lung cancer, and a 20-year difference in life expectancy.
• Children are especially sensitive to this repeated stress activation of the fight or flight response, and it goes from being adaptive, or life-saving, to maladaptive, or health-damaging.
• High doses of adversity not only affect brain structure and function, they affect the developing immune system, developing hormonal systems, and even the way our DNA is read and transcribed.
• In the words of Dr. Robert Block, the former President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, “Adverse childhood experiences are the single greatest unaddressed public health threat facing our nation today.”
