Dr. Richard Bandler says in the forward: “…you’ll turn your brain from being a potential enemy into being your best friend by the time you are done reading “The State of Perfection”. Joseph has penned a major contribution in the field of change-work; elite performance and human excellence…read it, absorb it and enjoy it for yourself.”

Many people live in the inhibitory and all they focus on are their problems. This book gives you evidence for what is possible, a world of abundance, you can help us all get there when you make that shift to being in the excitatory.

This first video is Joe Polish interviewing the two authors:

Jason Silva (Host/Producer for Current TV, Filmmaker, Storyteller and self-described “philosophical performer” was one of the earliest readers of Abundance. Jason was so inspired by Abundance that he made this video mash-up.

Here’s the trailer for the book:

And finally here’s Peter’s 2012 TED talk on the debate for “Abundance vs. Scarcity”

I’m also reading The Coming Prosperity: How Entrepreneurs Are Transforming the Global Economy by Philip Auerswald which is also looking good so far.

It’s useful to remember that as my mentor Dr. Joseph Riggio says: “Where you put your attention is where you’ll get your results”.

“Who’d want to be ordinary?”

So was Mr. Jobs smart? Not conventionally. Instead, he was a genius. That may seem like a silly word game, but in fact his success dramatizes an interesting distinction between intelligence and genius. His imaginative leaps were instinctive, unexpected, and at times magical. They were sparked by intuition, not analytic rigor. Trained in Zen Buddhism, Mr. Jobs came to value experiential wisdom over empirical analysis. He didn’t study data or crunch numbers but like a pathfinder, he could sniff the winds and sense what lay ahead.

He told me he began to appreciate the power of intuition, in contrast to what he called “Western rational thought,” when he wandered around India after dropping out of college. “The people in the Indian countryside don’t use their intellect like we do,” he said. “They use their intuition instead … Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That’s had a big impact on my work.”

Mr. Jobs’s genius wasn’t, as even his fanboys admit, in the same quantum orbit as Einstein’s. So it’s probably best to ratchet the rhetoric down a notch and call it ingenuity. Bill Gates is super-smart, but Steve Jobs was super-ingenious. The primary distinction, I think, is the ability to apply creativity and aesthetic sensibilities to a challenge.

China and India are likely to produce many rigorous analytical thinkers and knowledgeable technologists. But smart and educated people don’t always spawn innovation. America’s advantage, if it continues to have one, will be that it can produce people who are also more creative and imaginative, those who know how to stand at the intersection of the humanities and the sciences. That is the formula for true innovation, as Steve Jobs’s career showed.

So how do you develop this kind of intuition, these aesthetic sensibilities? I’ve gotten that from my mentor Dr. Joseph Riggio who happens to be running a training this month in the UK called INFLUENCE.

One of the most signifiant aspects regarding right/left brain distinctions is that in addition to the inherent processing preferences and capabilities, the way you process information (as well as the information you even notice) is impacted by your education and enculturation. In other words you’ve learned both what information to pay attention to, and how to make sense of that information. The way you do this determines what information you will take action on and what action you will take.

“What you pay attention to, and the way you pay attention to it, is the basis for the results and outcomes you produce in the world.” 

Progressive and Mr. Lewis illustrate how 10Xers shine when clobbered by setbacks and misfortune, turning bad luck into good results. They use difficulty as a catalyst to deepen purpose, recommit to values, increase discipline, respond with creativity and heighten productive paranoia — translating fear into extensive preparation and calm, clearheaded action. Resilience, not luck, is the signature of greatness.

Nietzsche wrote, “What does not kill me, makes me stronger.” We all get bad luck. The question is how to use it to turn it into “one of the best things that ever happened,” to not let it become a psychological prison.
