The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

you know and I didn't find that out until you know 2018 when I put out my second book Shook One Anxiety Playing Tricks On Me where I really opened up about a lot of my anxiety and a lot of my depression and going to therapy.

My argument in Good Anxiety, my book Good Anxiety, is that these prickly emotions, these difficult emotions like anxiety, like sadness are really, really valuable because they're focusing us on things that we should be paying attention to, specifically anxiety.

I put it aside because I couldn't write when I was going through this terrible grief and had to do something that I'd never ever had to do.

And it was in the middle of writing the book, Good Anxiety.

And I realized that if I could find the wisdom and the power of the most horrible emotion, I'm gonna say grief, what is the flip side of anxiety? What is the gift? What is the superpower that comes from anxiety? And I needed to find gifts and superpowers. And that's why the book got written in that way.

Because I had to go back and finish this book, Good Anxiety.

I bought a cow and followed him through the food system. It became a chapter in The Omnivore's Dilemma on the meat industry.

And I can tell you hundreds of times People have said to me Your book has saved my life

And my response has always been Maybe I should read it myself Because the fact is I'm quite capable of giving advice And dispensing wisdom that I don't follow myself

One of my favourite books The Slight Edge describes what is driving those small disciplines on a daytoday basis why are you doing those small repetitions if there is no instant gratification.

And I'm writing a book with a friend, my friend Will Godera, who wrote Unreasonable Hospitality.

I don't know if you've heard about it, but it's a profound book. It was basically a guy who Walden Walden, W a l d e n and it's a classic book about this man in the 1800s who went lived on a lake outside of Boston, Walden pond and lived there by himself in a cabin with nothing almost and wrote about it. And he had this beautiful way of writing and describing nature and life and philosophy and it really also included a lot of Eastern philosophy embedded in it, which I didn't realize at the time. And so that book really impacted my childhood profoundly.

where I've called my book The Source I have said your brain is The Source of you being able to attract everything that you want into your life and I sat down one summer and I like researched the laws of attraction and just looked at whether I could explain them through cognitive science which is psychology and neuroscience and I could

I do believe in manifestation based on your brain so your thoughts, your beliefs, your actions ... I see them as a representation of what I want but I still have to go out there and make those things happen

The problem is there's something wrong with the message we're giving people, and I can go over a few examples. The first thing you gotta do is... I've gotta talk to you about these new injections people are getting to lose weight.

If you think the right answer to, why did the Titanic crash is because it hit an iceberg, we need to be doing.

This whole history of fiber thing has been so carbohydrates. If you don't have any fiber, you pull all the fiber out by processing, you get this massive sort of unnatural spike in your body. It says, oh, that's great. It tastes great. I really love it.

And it's, as you say, when we're just focusing on the surface, it's very easy to fail because we look at it from that calories and calories out framework, right? We say you're eating too many calories.

In a word then, if you had to describe what you think about this idea of calories in calories out, what is that word?

So we've covered a few of them here. We've covered the strength training one and I had some really awesome stats that I found. In one study, 186 people with type 2 diabetes were split into three training programs. One group was strength training, the next was moderate cardio training and the third is a combination of both. And the strength training only group lost the most fat, gained the most strength and lean body mass and had the biggest decrease in insulin resistance

So one of the individuals in that book is an individual who is not a patient, who doesn't have anything wrong with him. He's got a condition called synesthesia, which is the melding, the combining of certain senses.

So he gives a really good example of his, you know, in childhood, his friend had a girlfriend whose particular name in him gave him a awful taste.

And he every time he his friend mentioned this girl's name, his mouth was filled with a terrible taste. So he will read words, he will hear words and all of those words will be associated with a particular taste that has lasted his entire life.

And it's been very fixed. So as a kid, when he started reading, he learned how to read by looking at the tube map on the way to school.

And each of those tube stations has got a particular taste associated with it. And that taste has remained fixed throughout his life. Now, this sounds really very strange, but actually we know that some degree of synesthesia, some degree of melding of our senses is actually quite common, that up to about 4% of individuals exhibit some form of synesthesia.
