Today we are talking Arnold Schwarzenegger. My fellow Austrian buddy…well buddy might be a little bit overdone but he is just a bodybuilding and fitness legend. However he is relatively old know (he is still working out though) and you might wonder what his workouts look like now and especially also his diet. He had a surgery lately so he had to adapt certain things: Not a lot of animal proteins a...

This is going to be about Jack Ma the former chairman of Alibaba. It’s always pretty interesting to see someone going against the grain. Because he is definitely an advocate of sleeping more and or just enough? Just as Jeff Bezos is! They both value sleep really high which also makes sense! So this article consists of some research that might or might not be true and also some of Jack Ma’s stateme...

I have been talking about it before but we are all individuals! We all are…there might be some exceptions like twins and what not but still we are all individuals. And that’s amazingly great! I guess I wouldn’t like to hang around with myself all the time. We are living in a world of generalisations though, we’re studies say things, the government and experts. Don’t get me wrong, that’s good that...

You might wonder how Warren Buffett manages all his tasks, chooses what to prioritise and what to completely ignore… This should be the answer. In this episode we are talking about Warren Buffett’s 2 list strategy. It goes the following: You need to decide 25 goals you are willing to pursue. After you have done that choose 5 out of these 25 that are really important, you want to immediately pursue...

So sleep seems to be one of the things people struggle a lot with…unfortunately because it’s such a huge part in life. I came up with a few tips and tricks on how to fix your sleep that I have been reading, talking and probably thinking about the past few months.

This episode is about Jeff Bezos and how he thinks we can be more happy (longterm) and oh boy, there is quite a lot of good stuff in here. I really have to say and I said it before: Definitely some world-views of him are aligned with mine! He is especially also talking about choices and regret. Those two things are as well somehow correlated if you have the proper perspective. He basically talks a...

Today we are talking about the school and education system basted on one of Seth Godin’s articles and his thoughts and opinions. The school system, something every student is complaining or ranting about but as I said in the episode, it’s a fairly complicated and especially difficult topic to talk about. Of course the school system is not for everyone nor does it work for everyone but it may not b...

This episode is all about the nocebo and the placebo effect. Even though I started this episode out of nowhere, it actually got a really really good and interesting one!

This episode is on the Butterfly Effect. The butterfly effect is a pretty interesting phenomena. It basically says that theoretically the chance is there that a tornado will hit Texas because a butterfly flapped its wings in brazil a few weeks before. So basically: A minor thing creates a major thing. …basically. So it’s indeed an interesting concept. - This episode of the Self Development with Ta...

Yet again another part from YES!  We are pretty close to finish that one up…unfortunately to be honest because there is definitely a lot of value in here, a lot of great information! We are especially talking about names today and the story from how to win friends and influence people on names. Pretty nice story! Names are very important to people and it’s really an advantage if you are able...

Long story short: This is how to stop your bad habits! Because there is just so much in this episode, so much of value, this is how I shortened it ;). This one is quite to a big percentage on how to stop drinking and smoking and all other addictions which is a very important point since it’s not so easy to stop being addicted!

The Environment, one of the biggest factors for bad or good habits. Today’s episode is again about (you) environment! It just matters so incredibly much! But it’s not only about the people it’s definitely also just about your surroundings. Having your workout clothes ready so that there are no excuses for example. Just reducing the friction between you and the good habit you want to acquire! Or re...

What did Benjamin Franklin do? Well, I gotta be honest. I forgot but it’s still in this episode so watch or listen it! :)) Today we are again talking about persuading other people or just others.

Your environment so the people around you, the things around you and what not change and or influence your habits and your habits change you and your life! In the really end! So what you should be doing if you want to change your habits is to try to change your environment and or try out other tactics that James...

James Clear on what he knows the best: Habits. Buuut this is not James Clear on his habits and whatever, this is about people that read Atomic Habits (James Clear’s Book) on how they actually got to change up their habits! All this in only quite 30 sentences! This article is a pretty interesting but in my point of view very good one! Really a lot to learn from all those people and how they changed...

Why do we believe some people or why are some credible and some not? What makes the difference? This is what Joseph Marks MSc. writes in this article. Messengers are people that share a message, people that talk or post or just communicate. Some are believable and some are not. We can categorise the believable ones into two sectors: the hard messengers and the soft ones. Will the hard one works tr...
