- Psychologist Daniel Goleman shot to fame with his groundbreaking bestseller Emotional Intelligence. Raw intelligence alone is not a sure predictor of success in life. A greater role is played by 'softer' skills such as self-control, self-motivation, empathy and good interpersonal relationships.

People can't achieve the technological knowledge demanded by the market because that changes very fast. The Progressive Growth of the Money Supply Principle (year 2013) will stop this madness, because the Principle tells us the exact quantity of new money the economy needs to works correctly, driving us to the Wicksell interest rate or natural interest.
Amazing! Helped me rethinking about my attention. Thank you so so much.,😏

"The ability to manage emotions is linked with the ability to pay attention." I felt that!
well now it all adds up bc im bipolar 😭😭😭
@@swimmerzo There's lots of flavors of bipolar. Not sure how much he went into it-- but yeah-- There are whole systems of the mind controlling us outside our active consciousness. Some say it is like another person. This is what ad companies target to win us over. Our feelings/ intuition/ subconcious, or whatever you wanna call it. Of course yes, when we observe it, the irrational parts can be brought to light and corrected/ prevented. Of course stress/ very stressful situations muddle things up/ if we are or become sensitive enough, things can go out of our control (the higher order thinking parts of the brain shut off and subconscious literally takes over when we are stressed enough; the brain is a funny thing, but makes sense evolutionarily when being attacked at least, for sure. Anxiety is a killer too tho, and the demons can be imaginary yet all too real in the mind. Gratitude and working on resilience/ prevention can go a long ways)
And I NEEDED that. Good to know.

Méditation is just based on that, when you pay attention to your breath and avoid being distracted by your thoughts you can calm your mind.
Our thoughts change the way that we feel, which subsequently changes the way that we act. It's called the cognitive triangle and it's the foundation of CBT therapy.
"A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention."
true
Well said...paralysis ensues.
@NISHANT SACHANIA Thank you for cleaning the comment.
I didn't get this line.
Great quote from the lecture, I love the question and answer session at the end, I know from your post it was about a year ago... How much of it do you remember? Just curious
"The exercise is not keeping your mind focused (...) it's: when it wanders, bring it back". The most spot on, clearest, simplest, most brilliant approach to defining meditation I've ever seen. This right here is the moment I've finally got it. Thank you.
How's that going for you?
totally relate
@@Moose808pretty good
This is practiced for the first 3 days in a 10 day Vipassana meditation course. 4th day onwards actual Vipassana practice starts. But these 3 days bring very good focus and sharpness.
This is only one layer of meditation. Some schools don’t consider using mental force or energy to bring back focus as meditation. Instead, letting the mind wander BUT being the watcher of the mind, is of a higher and deeper level of consciousness.
To bring back the mind from wondering required you to entangle yourself with it. Subverting your awareness for thought.
I watched this talk seven years after it was posted. Demands for our attention have increased significantly since then and it’s likely to get worse. I deleted all my social media accounts some years ago and have never regretted it
If you're focusing on youtube videos like this you've missed the satire of this speech
@@God-official1 pls enlighten us..
@@God-official1 Better than watching cat videos and 10 second tiktok's. Come on now.
UA-cam is social. Not as intense though as FB but I understand what you mean .
@@darleneokeefe5866 Not necessarily. I believe social media is what you make it to be. For example some could just consider youtube a library of vast information. If you choose to interact with other commenters is when it becomes “social” media.

Jesus said “I came that they might have Life and Life in abundance”.
And anyone who listens and “follow Me” Him get the tools how to live not only an accomplished but a joyful life LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN GIVE.
These lectures are good for someone who’s not following God ... but they are really “the fruit of the knowledge of god and Evil”. Human ingenuity generated and hence way imperfect and “UNWHOLE”. Can never be nearly of as comprehensive range as they need to be. Jesus gives ALL OF IT.
Imagine what it will be like 8 years from now smh
1. Performance peaks at 110% of attention or mindfulness.
2. Focus can help with mastery.
3. Mind wandering can be good when looking for a creative solutions.
4. Poor attention results in distraction which in turn results in stress.
5. There are three types of Empathy. Empathetic concerns, cognitive and emotional.
6. Paying attention is a rare commodity these days.
7. It can be improved through practice. Its like a muscle.
8. Use breathing buddy for kids to help with mindfulness practice
9. Practicing breathing can help gaining more attention and mindfulness. Focus on breath.
10. Manage emotions - Red, Yellow, Green.
You missed one of the most things sir. "Somatic Markers"

"mind wondering is essential"
Brilliant points, rather than listening to the whole blabber. Good for people who like to hear stories not for individuals with high IQ who want straight to the point answers.
Here I am feeling guilty listening to this brilliant lecture on focus while I’m hard at work.
I feel you sister! I guess it deserves a couple of rewatches cause it definitely caught my attention on many occasions! 😍
And I'm watching it while reading the comments 🤦♀️
@@cindyd2963 don't worry there are gems in there that further intrigues your curiosity to fully watch it! *Loops the video*
Here I am reading comments instead of listening to his brilliant lecture 🤣
I'm very certain he knows what he is talking about because his Performance as a presenter is very great which means he needs to have good focus. He is very charismatic.
Yes, he also talks about mindfulness meditation. I am eating breakfast while listening and then doing my mindfulness meditation afterwards. Tomorrow is vipassana. 🧘♂️ 🕉 🙏 🤲
Here is the Way.
Are you kidding me?!? They put an ad right in the middle of him guiding a mindfulness excercise... 🤦♂️

I liked it, so now it's a little easier for people to reach to your help (this message)
"To make connections between remote elements in a new way to have value; that's the definition of a creative act."
The first guy to ask his question is a big part of the problem. Dude was walking a fine line with his hateful question. I appreciated the presenters response.
I have adhd. I would love for our brains to be studied. Many of us are highly intelligent and have an incredibly fast ability to comprehend and learn because our focus could not be on that object for long. We have no internal motivation or reward system, have a poor executive function system, and yet creatively find ways to make it through life surrounded by neurotypical people. The world isn't built around our brains and it's needs, so our existence alone requires incredible feat and perseverance.
You discussed how distracting our world has become, however it's only a fraction of what our world has always been, including when our brains were being developed and habits were being learned, plus we endured huge social stigma by people who don't understand the condition.
Maybe I shouldn’t be saying this, but it’s pretty impressive how well adderall works for people like us, isn’t it? Now it’s an addictive drug, obviously. Literally an amphetamine. But if your brain just can’t break out of that frazzled state where your brain can’t follow any train of thought for more than a few seconds, adderall works shockingly well. Unbelievable how much it helped me.
@@anonymouschicken952 our brains react to it differently. It calms me down. And yes it does work amazingly well.
14:00 Neurobiology of frazzle
50% of time the mind wanders. Not engaged? Cortisol levels are too low.
15:20 Mind wandering is anti correlated to flow. Essential for insight.
16:00 make connections to remote values in a new way = creativity
18:46 somatic markers. Language of the body.
19:30 inner ethical awareness
21:50 Three kinds of empathy. Cognitive. Emotional. Empathic concern.
23:40 outer focus. systems view. Understanding what’s going on in the world outside you. 3rd kind of focus. 3 kinds. Inner. Other. Outer.
25:36 increase attention. Sit up and notice your breathe cycles slowly and with full awareness. Lose focus? Gently restart again. The exercise is bringing your attention back after it wanders. This is a rep for growth. Habituation is what the brain does. Orienting is opening up. It excites the brain. See Hit makers for just enough difference to orient at will.
30:00 mindfulness 8 weeks 30 mins a day.
31:00 Childhood has changed. A loss of focus. Constant distraction. 32:25 Brain is part organ to develop. Repeated experience shapes the brain. This is how neuro plasticity in circuitry grows. Are we helping children’s brain grow in the best ways? Breathing buddies. Strengthening the attention muscle. Regulating emotion.
35:13 Social emotional learning. SEL. To handle themselves and their relationships
36:30 Red light. Yellow light. Green light. Can’t control how emotions come but you can lengthen the period between emotion and response. Marshmallow test. If you’re not able to mange your impulse you can’t learn as well.
40:00 SEL + relationships. Put ups is a way to handle put downs.
45:15 Cookie Monster can’t restrain himself. 2-4 y/o learn by modeling.
50:48 emotions are contagious
Thanks!
Thank you 😊 🌻
Thank you sooooooo much😀🧡this helped me so much!!!
Thank you
gud work lady love u
Goleman reminded me listening is an enjoyable experience. Speakers should use him as a model on how to convey ideas. Amazing teacher.
How is it that this man takes so many of the topics I find the most interesting in the world today and has united them in the first 37 minutes of this lecture??? We are often so aware of the dark side of the internet but the access to this kind of insight at the touch of a key is something to be deeply grateful for and will maybe help us find our way out of the confusion of today's world. Thank you Google and the architects of the internet, Daniel Goleman, and all the humans who have contributed to the ideas he talks about in this lecture. Most importantly I am so glad there are so many of you out there- currently 1,741,574 of you- who take the time to pay attention!
yes, people really need more attention & focus
37:04 One definition of maturity is lengthening the gap between impulse and action.
These are the type of quotes that mark you forever, awesome talk.
Has always been the case. It was taught long before the prevalence of cell phones.
So if you get shot in the head, you have reached maturity?
@@johnbell1810 He is referring to the same person when he says: "...the gap between impulse and action. But, I guess, if after someone has the impuse to shoot themselves in the head, they wait a sufficiently long period of time, it constitues that person's terminal state of "maturity", according to this definition. 🙃
interesting quote Professor Goleman: " attention is a rare commodity, but its a precious commodity" in this current world absolutely true
Daniel Goleman is brilliant. He is gift to mankind. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your insights, your passion.

I agree.
I really liked how he explained when you scold a child, and tell them what they did hurt the other child, you are helping them develop empathy. Now I understand why all the day care shows I've seen where the teacher is scolding a child this same way, I use to wonder why they were explaining that to a child, and now I see why. Makes absolutely good sense.
Daniel Goleman gave a masterclass in emotional intelligence in his response to the ridiculous first question about "rubbish" culture and the role genetics play in poor neighborhoods
An extraordinary mind with upmost humility. Truly a heavenly companion. Your lecture was no less than a beautiful orchestra. Really humbled by your teachings
🌸 I have always felt I have been born into the wrong time, I hate texting, emailing or messaging
I prefer walks and talking face to face, there is something so incredible seeing someone else’s eyes light up as you talk or hearing what they have to say & noticing how much they appreciate being heard are feelings you just cannot grasp from a text etc
I have always kept few simple rules, once in company of someone else I do not text or return calls. It’s liberating not being a constant slave to technology & I do use it when I require to look something up, however I don’t allow it to dominate my precious time 👌🏼
I can very much relate to your feelings!
Totally agree, but the thing is, interacting with people face to face is sometimes challenging (part of communication goes through body language and you have to read it, people's face tell a story about them that you cannot miss, etc...).
For some people such as me, it's harder to focus than texting.
Excellent lecture; neuroscience (brain Connections) and behaviors. To know that Optimism can be learned is actually fascinating, thank you very much.
Mindfulness came to me after an abusive childhood, suicide attempts , addiction and prison. I was labeled to have impulse control when i was 9. I´m 40 now and I´ve over come a lot and Mindfulness has been a huge help. I also believe our society that put´s profit over people has ruined us. War , weapons , environmental , addiction and healthcare profiteering is an antiquated divisive and oppressive system that must end.
Mr. Goleman's response to the first "question" at the end of the lecture is absolute gold. Thank you Sir for capturing this racist rant wrapped in a "question" and gently creating an opportunity to insert truth and reason...well done.
that first audience member's question was vile and Daniel handled it with great sensitivity
Like in the circles of Zorro, the first one represents self awareness, the second one represents self control, and the third one self motivation. The two outer ones represent relations outside yourself (empathy and influence). Thank you Daniel.
Today to get empathy. Someone else has to see it to stimulate guilt. Aka. People don't give a. Blank
Don't mention zorro. That's cultural appropriation. zorro is folklore in my culture and I'm very offended
Umm. They left out self reliance, how to be a person maybe, I reckon I will rely on the government to do that for me too! LOL.
@@God-official1 Hey Freeman, you are on the wrong set.
The skill with which Goleman handles the horrifying racism of the first question was masterful! I wonder if the guy asking it had any realization that he had just been put in his place.
I was shocked with that question. And the answer was brilliant.
Daniel Goleman and Edward De Bono, two of my masters, respect
15:22: "Mind wandering is the enemy of focusing, but is absolutely essential for creative insight."
25:17: How attention can be strengthened.
You need both to be a healthy and functional person.
Finally UA-cam makes a suggestion that works on the day I need it...
I happened onto this video while I was driving during a particularly frazzled period. I was driving to distract myself so I drove for a couple of hours which allowed me to listen to the entire lecture. When the video arrived at the part about how breathing exercise shifts the brains activity from right to left, I began to focus on my breath for the next 30 minutes. By the time my drive ended, my frazzled state dissipated. I left so relieved. Thank you Mr Goleman!
10 years later, this is still extremely invaluable, highly relevant information. Thank you Daniel!
Everytime I got distracted, he made me feel guilty enough to zone in again.
What a facinating conference. the fact is that since I had red his first book Emocional intelligence when it appeared I was thrilled. He manages to. Keep always at the same level.Thank you for your teachings.
Master Daniel u remind me of my late father Alfred Ernest. He passed at 90. We have got Scottish and German in heritage. The rest all my family is Eurasian Dutch Portuguese. Born in Ceylon. Your voice reminds me of my late family. Thank you for being a brother a father and most of all a master of mind brain and body
I am spiritual so I am always aware and in tune. Music soft vibes of strings panio drums pipes.natural sounds of natures. Love Christina. Xx
Watching this on split screen while reading sports news and managing a public sector project, while commenting on UA-cam. Yes. This video speaks to me.
Focus is my favorite book that contains science-backed tips to improve focus. Daniel has changed my mind!
I really liked this, thank you for posting it.
The guy who asked the first question nearly ruined my mood, but somehow the speaker got it back, by basically saying 'you're right' and then proving he's wrong.
Me too. Most people in a society hate violence and fear it. So violence cannot be deemed a culture of a society
We are looking at human light and the brilliance of the love-inspired. Thank you, sir! From a member of the so-called Black community
Thank you Mr Goleman for the time and effort that you put into this lecture. The lecture itself is an exercise in keeping focused. I know that what you were talking about was interesting and useful and although my mind would wander on occasions I brought myself back to you and what you were saying. Building brain muscle is a choice we all can make as long as we're alive. Thanks to you,for making me aware of this, it will be my go to.
Stop looking at the comments, and focus on the video! It may just change the way you think forever!
hahaha
Haha oh shit. Busted.
Yes, master. :D
Busted indeed
Ive watched it twice by now ^^
I love a well done talk with a bonus open question session at the end. Thank you for sharing this freely for all of us to ponder upon and even take better strides in our own lives by applying what we feel we can improve on. I personally look forward to going back to therapy and working on the cognitive issues that are mostly impacted by a traumatic childhood. Thanks again.

I've been a fan of Daniel Goleman, and have read many of his books and writings. But this lecture is something else. Thanks for uploading.
So timely on a research we are working on. Thank you for the wealth of learning Mr. Goleman! 😊
21:00 such a funny setup of the story. I love Mr. Goleman's story telling and his peaceful and smooth presence, which is very captivating :)
Superb talk. Particularly enjoyed the reference to focused breathing and attention as a skill deficit that cannot be cured with drugs. Thanks Professor Goleman!
What a great talk. More importantly, what an incredible gentleman!
After 8 years this has become even more relevant to us!
This was tremendously helpful and informative to me, thank you very much. I used to be very focused and on track, but thanks to a career change of sorts in the last couple of years (now teaching elementary school) my mind is often scattered and I feel terribly unfocused. I am working on leaving this kind of work and getting back in touch with myself and my true passions and strengths. Thanks.
One of the most brilliant people of our time.
The answer to the last question hits me. My mother always tried to protect me from anything and I know for sure that's why, even today, I'm still timid (less than before but not much). I think it's the thing I needed to hear to start challenging myself in social situations, like going to talk to a woman face-to-face for example. Thank you Daniel Goleman!
By the way, his book about emotional intelligence is a must read. I will read it again in the futur if I still have it. A huge book but there's a lot to learn from it.
that first question had a eugenic vibe to it and the professor delt with it AMAZINGLY!
I'll have to watch it again and again, so much food for thought. Thank you
Absolutely amazing talk, he just blew me away with his great insights into human psychology and behavior, which is what I'm most interested in. Time and again, he produces amazing observations and analysis of stuff that are really important in most of our lives. The talk is about focus and managing attention, but he draws into the mix so many other fascinating things. A highly recommended talk.
Interesting that as I was checking the comments section while watching the video (like I normally do), I called myself out and said don't be distracted, pay attention, FOCUS! What a brilliant talk this is! 👏
Things have changed since 2013 and yet somehow, are exactly the same. Our "attention economy" has grown even more saturated and continues to optimise itself, so this talk is even more relevant than it was back then. The information within it is essential to improving the future of our society.
Amazing eye opening, suspicion validating... thank you!
That was the best and most polished and polite response to a question that was posed out of preexisting anger and ideology that was not actually intended to improving understanding but reaffirming the questioner’s existing views.
Great observation.
What you choose to interpret as preexisting anger is the expression of a very well-researched field. The science on race, in terms of morphology, physiology, biochemistry, intelligence, delayed gratification, disease resistance, behavior, performance and culture make it vitally clear that there exist vast differences between the races. Race is real. Race exists. As such, there are individuals who look upon race as Race Realists. Do you have a tough time differentiating between a Pygmy and a Western European? That bell curve very simply and beautifully illustrates why Africa and Haiti are brazenly high-fertility, corruption-plagued hell-holes and why Ashkenazi Jews have earned a vastly disproportionate number of Nobel prizes. As the member of the audience pointed out in the question, reporting on these differences often gathers the wrath of the indignant who would rather ignore the painfully obvious and anoint the 'underprivileged' as victims. To wit: It is scarcely the same thing to put a man on the moon as to put a bone in your nose.
Thank you Mr. Goleman, you are a wonderful speaker, I learned something from you. Wow I love this guy!
Excellent lecture by Dr. Daniel Goleman - more important today than ever.
I think that was one of best talks I've ever heard.
"Sesame Street have lessons based in science, wrapped in entertainment." AMAZING
This is similar to how fables are usually constructed to reflect truth. Two that come to mind are, 'The Pied Piper', and 'The Emperor Is Naked'. These have stuck with me from childhood, and I have seen the scenes play out from that time and always understood the truths that were imparted back then!

Mr Goleman you've been a hero of mine since I first read your book on EQ.
Thank you so much for your amazing work.
Great lecture. Dan Goleman has done amazing work!
I love how Daniel Goleman shut that dude down towards the end, as he came with an already made inductive argument of an entire group of people and children being all violent , and all tainted due to their genetic makeup. He reaffirms that the behaviors are largely situational, not genetic. That same dangerously small minded rhetoric was the basis of writings like the "Willy Lynch Letters".
You cant imagine how i admire your thinkings Daniel goleman
Greetings from Chile
The best lecture I've ever watched in this field.
Indeed,
Fulfills the classical definition of a professor. Someone who talks in the sleep of others. Good content but condensed version would be highly appreciated.
This has been the top recommended video to the point I used to think it was an ad. I finally decided to give it a try.
"Maturity is lengthening the gap between impulses and actions."
Thank you for this brilliant and inspiring lecture!
"The Secret of Finishing", Conor Neill, Ted Talk is a good companion lecture to this one by Goleman. Goleman gets through the most dense dialectical stream so conversationally that it belies the weight of the content. Very Good ones, All.
Attention besieged World/ pizzled
9:12- forms of attention/ forms of distraction
11:50- flow= 110% attention= peak of performance
Rapport= mutual flow
Frazel
Mind wondering= anti focusing
16:45- 3 types of attention for leaders
how decisions are made
inner ethical radar
cognitive empathy/ how you think
emotional empathy/ how you feel
outer focus/ =systems view/ =big picture view / = strategic thinking
25:45- train your attention
Lol as I took part in the focus exercise at 26min an advert popped up right in the middle of it. Ah the irony. 😂
It’s a test! The universe will throw tests all the time to see how you react, attention is key 🔑
I had the same happen to me
Gotta love adblocker and UA-cam Vanced!
Fantastic! Thank you so much Daniel Goleman this is exceedingly important.
What Dr. Golman is teaching in this video should be practiced as we watch him and listen to him Right Here.. this is a Great Place to start to Implement what he is teaching...
Sir you were an eye opener with Emotional and Social intelligence. I never knew you are such a great speaker.
I thank God for people like Dr. Daniel Goleman!
Wherever you go, there you are
The power or now
The power of full engagement
Focus:The hidden driver of excellence
Applied focus
Present focus
Presence
I am certain you realize the depth and magnanimity of your statement "The Power or Now ! "
I really appreciate this talk and respect the speaker. Having said that, I also have that feeling of 'how some Western disciplines, psychologists, therapists, etc have taken deep and ancient knowledge of Eastern cultures (Buddhism, Hinduism... ), reshaped it and then sold it as something new and innovative. ' On the other hand, I also think that this may contribute to expand this valuable knowledge and make it more accessible to a larger number of people.
Infinita Fenix has to
Can’t agree more
Thats true 💯❤️
And ancient Greek philosophy too, like stoicism. Particularly when he mentioned the study of positive psichology and the studies of Martin Seligman... Teaching kids to focus on what they can do is the same as saying focus on what you can control, which is essential in stoic phylosophy...
Thank you for sharing! And this video was shared nine years ago! Our attention spans are increasingly becoming shorter day by day. My generation have children that are now either in college or establishing families of their own. All these poor behaviors and habits are being passed down to the next generation. We, as a society, need to shift our focus and attention back toward things that matter-our family, friends, coworkers, anything that requires our attention. I was thinking today the amount of information we absorb in a single day, and how it can potentially manipulate and distort our minds.
STOPPED COUNTING how many times I've watched Daniel's videos. Thank you Daniel, you helped me improve my teaching techniques for my students🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The best video I have watched in a very long time!!
Wow... This was absolutely amazing... I love it!
The moment sir goalman said close ur eyes and at that juncture an advertisement appeared on my screen 😁
So many great points in this talk. Meditation has changed my own life so I can personally attest that it’s truly a panacea.
fantastic, great presentation and I learned so much from you, thank you!
For the sake of reference...
1. The concept of "flow" is introduced around 11:28
2. The story of the corporate lawyer who had a brain operation starts at 16:30
3. The breathing exercise to build your focus starts at 25:00
("Attention is a mental muscle...")
4. "Our emotions are contagious..." 50:22 or so.
nice thanks

I like listening to lectures or speeches while doing tedious jobs. I don't know if it is good for my brain to multi-task, but it just keeps me going to do boring work, like homework, household chores and sometimes at work too. It's kinda ironic that I'm listening to this video about attention while at the same time doing my math homework 😅.
