Fantastic video on the chemistry of happiness & gratification. This guy is an amazing speaker

h/t @DavidBCollum

Four biochemicals of happiness: endorphin, dopamine, serotonin & oxytocin. E&D are the “selfish” chemicals. Endorphins: mask physical pain.
Dopamine: focuses us on goal. Importance of tangible goal=> write it down. Danger = highly addictive (drugs, cell phones…) if unbalanced
Serotonin: responsible for pride & status. Increases self-confidence, reinforce relationships. Danger= can be tricked.
Serotonin is leadership chemical. True leaders able to sacrifice themselves for others. => Leadership is a choice.
Oxytocin => love, trust, friendship, safety => physical touch, human bonds matter. Not addictive but takes time 2 build. Feel like u belong.
Last chemical: cortisol. Feeling of stress & anxiety. Designed to keep us alive. Makes us stiff & ready to go, increases heart rate.
Cortisol means anger ahead! Shouldn’t be permanent – only in dangerous situations. Inhibits release of oxytocin.

I worked for a big 4 audit firm (big 5 then) for 4 yrs in the late 90s. 1st in Paris (2 yrs) & then in London. One of my last assignments was the audit of a medium size firm in the financial sector. I was the "senior in charge", ie the guy managing the audit team at the client's.
It was a mess. The legal structure was very complex w/ lots of empty entities that had been built over time to avoid paying taxes. The business was close to bankruptcy, most of its accounting team had left & there was no consistent bookkeeping. The consulting branch of my audit
firm had been hired (at a huge fee) to rebuild the books. After a couple of weeks there I realized that I couldn't connect the dots: I understood some pieces of the puzzle but could not put it together. A guy in my team that was way smarter than me & that I liked a lot thought

#Video I manifest the shakti of #consciousness over matter - moving objects without touching them. I'm sitting more than 1 ft from the coconut. It rolls when I'm in Oneness with @SriNithyananda & the coconut. I only give command internally

Person holding the coconut is new to me
It's one of the powers which Swamiji initiates people into. There's no eligibility criteria other than your own intention to experience it.
.@SriNithyananda Swamiji had declared, that anyone who makes fun of/abuses his disciples or him for sharing His teachings, or in this case, the extraordinary shaktis of MAHADEVA Himself, you are relieving us of our karma.

1/ We launched the first version of Schoolze in 2015. Last 3 years has been a journey of highs & lows but our discovery of #SchoolSuccess factors has been fascinating. Here is how we did it -
2/ Schoolze started as a classroom productivity tool and a year later, we built a school product to measure parental engagement. While at it, we discovered a major shift taking place in K12. To understand this shift, let's revisit some historical K12 facts.
3/ Our current K12 model dates back to the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. Influenced by conformity, compliance & obedience, it sought people who could take instructions and get a specific job done without being disruptive. #YouYourChildandSchool

Someone said people need not look up to others & should think for themselves. Why then do we need Coaches? The world’s greatest have them. We’re created for impact & influence remember? Nothing makes you disciplined in the art than having a sincere mirror that prompts and guides.
There many people out here I look up to. We all have our days when nothing makes sense. A time when we feel deflated and depressed sometimes for no reason. For people who think lack & poverty are the only cause of depression please think again. The rich also cry.
I’ve been very fascinated with neurological sciences since I was a teenager and have come to find that our moods and lives are countrolled by chemical secretions in the brain. Dopamine, Seretonin, Oxytocin, Noradrenaline and Adrenaline. These chemicals are what the drugs control.

**Video Games Celebrate Slaughtering People**

1. There are games that literally give people the ability to score points for committing mass murder; where you get extra points for finishing someone off who's lying on the ground begging for their life.
2. Kentucky governor Matt Bevin went on to compare video games to pornography and questioned whether they should be protected as free speech? truepundit.com/kentucky-gover…
3. "These are quote-unquote "video games" and they're forced down our throats under the guise of "protected speech." It's garbage!
It's the same as pornography.
They have desensitized people to the value of human life,
to the dignity of women, to the dignity of human decency"
