091 - Keep Calm and Practice On: Buddhist Lessons on Performance (with Stephen Batchelor)

Two skills that will be helpful to anyone trying to master a craft or achieve excellence (or, frankly, make it through life): the capacity to be with difficulty, and an ability to show up consistently even when nothing is on the line. Luckily, today's guest has more than fifty years of practice with both. Stephen Batchelor is a Buddhist thinker, teacher, and author, who has written numerous books on how Buddhist wisdom can be applied in everyday life. Today, he discusses his path to Buddhism—including more than a decade of intensive study—and offers wisdom on how to best cultivate a nonreactive mind, why a focus on practice (rather than results) can free you up to "realize your own excellence," and the important difference between radical acceptance and resignation.

Can You Be a Massive Success Without Being a Narcissist?

It is unfortunate that we've got a society where extreme narcissism is a key attribute for so-called “success.” Left unchecked, it can, and does, leave a whole lot of wreckage in its wake. On this episode, Brad and Steve discuss ego, narcissism, innovation, progress and how to keep these traits in check so you control them and they don't control you.

The 24 to 48 Hour Rule

The 24 to 48 Hour Rule

Brad and Steve break down one of the most important principles for sustainable excellence and mastery without burning out: You get 24 to 48 hours to celebrate the win or grieve the defeat, but then it’s time to get back to doing the work itself. After success, getting back to the work humbles you. After failure, getting back to the work builds motivation. Either way, it’s the best medicine.You can find the episode on:iTunes and Apple PodcastsSpotifyAndroidStitcherPlease write a review on Apple Podcasts and help new listeners discover the show!Find Brad and Steve on Twitter: @Bstulberg and @stevemagnessCheck out our exclusive community offers on Patreon here.The post The 24 to 48 Hour Rule appeared first on The Growth Equation.

The big topics discussed include how small steps compounded over time lead to big gains; why it is so tempting to over-do intensity and under-do consistency; how to determine a seven or eight out of ten and differentiate it from a nine or ten out of ten; and when it makes sense to go to the well.

When To Grit And When To Quit

When To Grit And When To Quit
