The document outlines 7 steps to rethink your beliefs and mindset in order to fast forward to happiness. It discusses different views on what happiness is from philosophers like Aristotle and Oprah to academics who have studied happiness. The author's view is that happiness involves PERMA (positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishment) plus the ability to be flexible and resilient when facing circumstances through "The Rethink". The 7 steps of the rethink process involve diagnosing what's not working, managing energy, getting unstuck, remodeling beliefs, framing the future positively, and building prosperity practices.

Tara-Nicholle Nelson presented on how to get consumers addicted to content. She recommends fueling aspirations rather than just publishing information, marketing a personal manifesto to connect with consumers, and doubling down on interactive content experiences. Getting consumers addicted requires clarity of message, committed content creators, and an ongoing commitment to the consumer experience.

The document outlines an agenda for a workshop on how psychology can boost creativity. The workshop will cover: 1) a psychological view of creativity and how it is a set of learned behaviors, 2) what kills creativity such as excessive worry and assumptions, and 3) techniques for generating ideas "on demand" such as brainwriting and WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan). Habit formation and achieving a state of flow are discussed as ways to increase creative behaviors and skills.

Creative Living: License to be You with ADHD

Ose Schwab

‘The key question isn't “What fosters creativity?" But it is why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.’ – Abraham Maslow Is Maslow’s assumption that all people can create correct? If so, what keeps individuals from being creative? These questions will be addressed in this teleclass through the insights from thought leaders in business, education, the arts, coaching, science. Participants will learn what creativity is and how to engage it. They will gain understanding of the role it plays in a variety of processes critical to personal growth, resilience, and innovation. This understanding, enhanced by examples of creative expressions, will spur on participants to invite innovation into daily life. In so doing, a license will be granted them to transcend the limits of judgment enough to explore and act upon their true self with or without ADHD.

The document discusses cognitive distortions and negative thought patterns that can impact happiness and provides recommendations for developing gratitude, mindfulness, and focusing on positive attributes in order to improve well-being. It also suggests taking action through deep breathing, challenging distortions, expressing gratitude, and maintaining a positive outlook for at least 21 days to potentially change one's perceptions and increase happiness.

I would like to talk about the role of “heart” tools in our IA/UX practice. Often, our tools and methods are analytical and logic-oriented exercises. In this talk, I would like to suggest a fresh approach to our IA practice. We will explore “heart” tools and methods that are shown to be more persuasive than “head” methods – when push comes to shove. First, we will discuss reasons heart tools have been left out, where head tools have dominated our field. These include west versus eastern philosophies, traditions, and a brief historical perspective. We will then look at the different types of heart tools, their origins, and how these practices (often spiritual in nature) can be adapted to our IA practice, including: creative visualization, mental walkthroughs, and the practice of centeredness and connectedness. Next, we will use real or near-real work-related examples and discuss how heart tools can be used in each situation, and how heart tools will help us get the type of results we want in our deliverables, meetings, workshops, presentations, and client relationships. I see these ideas as a new layer on top of our current tools, and not as a replacement. Heart tools will elevate our practice to a whole new level of understanding and effectiveness, not only as IA practitioners, but also as engaged people who deeply understand and love our work, ourselves, others, and our world.

Hum2220 nichomachean ethics

ProfWillAdams

Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics explores what is good for humans and how we ought to live. Aristotle defines happiness as an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue. He identifies moral virtues like courage, justice, and temperance that are acquired through practice and habit, guided by practical wisdom. Ultimately, Aristotle argues that happiness consists primarily of intellectual virtue and theoretical contemplation, which is the highest human activity as it is the most god-like.

René descartes

Nafis Kamal

Rene Descartes was a 17th century French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. He is known as the "Father of Modern Philosophy" and a key figure of the Scientific Revolution. Descartes developed rationalism and the method of systematic doubt. He argued that the only certain knowledge is "I think, therefore I am" and that existence can be inferred from clear and distinct ideas, such as the idea of God. Descartes also proposed mind-body dualism and made important contributions to mathematics and science.

Tok intro

Ayca Turkkan

Theory of Knowledge (TOK) explores how knowledge is gained, the validity of knowledge claims, and different areas of knowledge. TOK lessons involve open-ended questions, critical thinking, and reflection. The goal is not to answer questions definitively, but to think about knowledge. Key concepts include justification of knowledge using different ways of knowing, the relationship between truth and belief, and examining knowledge issues and claims within disciplines like the natural sciences, human sciences, history, ethics, religion, indigenous knowledge, and the arts.

Positive Thinking Dr. Rohit Singh

Dr. Rohit Singh Lather, Ph.D.

Positive thinking focuses on seeing the bright side of life and expecting positive outcomes. It involves thinking about wants, desires, and a good future in a positive rather than unrealistic way. Positive thoughts can impact one's health on a physical level, while negative thoughts can be harmful through the nocebo effect. Cultivating positive thinking involves focusing on the good, using positive language, surrounding oneself with positive people, accepting others, limiting complaints, and attracting positive thoughts.

Jon Bradshaw

This document discusses the philosophical view of rationalism and the concept of innatism. It provides background on rationalism, defining innatism as the view that the human mind possesses certain innate concepts or knowledge prior to experience.
