CHOICES

The paradox of choice

by Tony Robbins

- The success is not in the resources, but in the resourcefulness.

1. What am I going to focus on?

- Focus creates feeling. Emotional fitness

- 6,000 words for emotions and 12 basic feelings

2. What does it mean?

3. What are you going to do?

Two invisible forces:

1. The moment (State: emotional, physical)

2. The long-term

a) Target (needs)

b) Map (belief system; how do you get there?)

c) Fuel (what is that that drives you)

Six Basic Needs:

---Needs of personality---

1. Certainty

2. Uncertainty (problems, you need them)

3. Significance (love or violence)

4. Connection + love

---Needs of spirit---

5. Growth (fulfillment)

6. Contribute beyond ourselves

by Barry Schwartz

- Abundance of choices transfers responsibility from those who know what needs to be chosen to those know little. Example: medications.

- Abundance of choices paralyzes. Example: life choices, marriage, etc.

- Even if good decision is made, the abundance of choice produces regret that subtracts from the satisfaction of making a good choice.

- Secret to happiness is low expectations!

- With a myriad of choices you have no excuse, such as I could have done better
