1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I was listening to the Very Bad Wizards podcast when they were interviewing Sam Harris, and he made a very clear point about why dogma is so dangerous. Here’s what he said:
“Dogma is, by definition, unresponsive to new arguments and new evidence. And therefore you can’t correct course; if you’re being guided by a dogma, you’re not flexible. You know, when reality tells you you’re wrong, you either don’t notice, or pretend not to notice or insist on moving forward, and then you bump into hard objects. And that’s what happens with any dogma.“
2. A short video loads of people are resonating with
I released this video yesterday and it’s already been shared over 80 times! In this excerpt from the 2017/18 Certified Clarity Coach Training programme, I talk about ‘The Teddy Bear Factor’. This simple trick of the mind holds the key to resolving unhealthy worry, stress and anxiety. As people see the truth of this for themselves, it can free you from unhelpful misunderstandings and improve relationships, performance and wellbeing. You can watch this fun and impactful video here (it’s just over 5 minutes). If you like it, please share! https://www.facebook.com/JamieSmartCom/videos/10155751033026528/

4. 45 seconds that warms my heart
I love this clip. The principles behind clarity are getting national coverage! When you watch it, you’ll hear Glasgow Warriors player Adam Ashe talking on the BBC about the principles he and I are both passionate about. It warms my heart when I see this understanding getting a wider audience and reaching ‘the mainstream. I’ll be sharing clips from Emma’s interview with Adam in the next few days! You can watch Adam’s BBC interview here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/41348855
5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
It’s over 25 years since Massive Attack’s breakthrough hit, Unfinished Symphony, hit the airwaves. It still sounds fresh and new https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWmrfgj0MZI&sns=em
That’s it for this week!
