Visit: http://harrydcohen.com/ Harry D. Cohen explores what he refers to as "Heliotropic Leadership". An intentional practice that emphasis the benefits of compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness. "Be The Sun Not The Salt" Cohen is an independent management consultant, personal leadership coach, author and psychologist. A compelling keynote speaker and advisor on the importance of trust, personal authenticity, leadership, and high performance; subjects he speaks to audiences about around the world. He is the author of ‘Secrets of the Obvious’, a book that challenges our age-old assumption that personal improvement is an overly complex process that is difficult and challenging. His concentration is on interpersonal behaviors and the effect they have on either building or breaking down walls of communication between individuals or within large groups. Harry’s simple message is that there are universal and undeniable principles that when understood and followed can guide our behaviors in ways that yield great results. For example, authenticity and honesty breed trust. This principle unfortunately often gets lost under the burdens of leadership. But it is fundamental for all leaders to find this thread within themselves and to seize it. Doing so is to find the very best about ourselves.

Steven Pinker's global bestseller Enlightenment Now was hailed by Bill Gates as "the most inspiring book I've ever read" but dismissed by philosopher John Gray as "unenlightened and embarassing". Channel 4's Matt Frei engages Pinker in a frank discussion of his work and its critics.

There’s a reason that insults stick with us longer than compliments. Is the glass half full or half empty? 🥛 Turns out, the way that you present a situation to people can really change how they feel about it — our brains tend to fixate on the negative aspects over the positive ones.

Learn the mind's tricks: A quick review of 10 cognitive distortions, or thinking errors, courtesy of cognitive behavioral therapy.

➤ Subscribe to our channel: https://psychbytes.com/youtube ➤ For more information on cognitive distortions: https://psychbytes.com/cognitive-distortions/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The cognitive distortion is centered on THE SHOULDS! Shoulds, ought toos, and musts are common ways our thoughts have power over us. We can be insecure of our own behavior and subtly judge our own choices: “I can’t believe I said that. I SHOULD have just smiled and nodded.” This scrutiny can create a self-imposed, guilt, shame, and frustration. Other times we judgmentally evaluate the choices that others make: “Why is she wearing those clothes?! He SHOULD learn to drive.” We criticize people, situations, or the world around us and this can create anger, irritation, and discontentment in ourselves and with others. When we analyze ourselves or others and create expectations, we make conclusions in our minds about how things SHOULD have been or how they SHOULD be. And when the outcome is something different than the expectations our thoughts created, we cause stress in our minds, emotions, and even our bodies. Depression lives in the past and anxiety lives in the future. If you are thinking of something you SHOULD have done in the past or focused on something you must do in the future, then you aren’t fully living in the present moment. Try to avoid “shoulding” on yourself! Focus on the present moment and live mindfully. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ➤Facebook: http://bit.ly/PsychPage ➤Instagram: http://bit.ly/PsychInsta ➤LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/PsychLinkedIn ➤Reddit: http://bit.ly/PsychReddit ➤Twitter: http://bit.ly/PsychTweets ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HASHTAGS: #PsychBytes #CognitiveDistortions #TheShoulds
