Why I did it: Actually, I love TEDx, specially a site

for personal self growth. Sometimes these talks can

be very long and I may not have the time to listen or

that after I listen I want to print out a set of

summary slides for future reference.

I am hoping that this summary resource will be

useful to you and my base of 10,000+ and counting

readers in your journey of self growth.

IntroductionWhen I was seven years old and my sister was just

five years old, we were playing on top of a bunk bed.

I was two years older than my sister at the time -- I

mean, I'm two years older than her now -- but at the

time it meant she had to do everything that I wanted

to do, and I wanted to play war.

There are differing accounts of what actually

happened that afternoon, but since my sister is not

here with us today, let me tell you the true story .

Clumsy side…

Which is my sister's a little on the clumsy side. Somehow, without any help or push from her

older brother at all, Amy disappeared off of the top of the bunk bed and landed with this

crash on the floor. I nervously peered over the side of the bed to see what had befallen my

fallen sister and saw that she had landed painfully on her hands and knees on all fours on the

ground.

I was nervous because my parents had charged me with making sure that my sister and

I played as safely and as quietly as possible. And seeing as how I had accidentally broken

Amy's arm just one week before.

Trying as hard as I could…

Heroically pushing her out of the way of an oncoming imaginary sniper bullet, for which I

have yet to be thanked, I was trying as hard as I could -- she didn't even see it coming -- I was

trying hard to be on my best behavior.

And I saw my sister's face, this wail of pain and suffering and surprise threatening to erupt

from her mouth and wake my parents from the long winter's nap for which they had

settled. So I did the only thingmy frantic seven year-old brain could think to do to avert this

tragedy. And if you have children, you've seen this hundreds of times. I said, "Amy, wait. Don't

cry. Did you see how you landed? No human lands on all fours like that. Amy, I think this

means you're a unicorn.”

Studying people….

When studying people, we tend to look for excuses to discard ‘outliers’, and focus only on the

average to find a line of best fit. This is the cult of the average – we look only at the baseline.

Instead we should look more at the positive outliers: what makes them different? If we study

outliers, we can move the ‘average’ upwards.

Positive psychology…Shawn is an advocate of ‘positive psychology’: studying the positive side rather than focusing on

the negative. For example studying happy people on why they are happy, rather than on how to

make depressed people happier. “The absence of disease is not health”: you can’t talk about

wellness by only focussing on alcoholism, risky sex, bullying.

Happiness levels…Looking at someone’s surroundings only explains 10% of their happiness levels. 90% is based

on how your brain sees the world around it. Only 25% of job performance is based on

intelligence, with 75% based on support networks, positivity, and ability to perceive stress as a

challenge.

People believe that…Currently most people believe that if they are successful they will become happy. This is

flawed because:

1. When you achieve success, you immediately shift the goal posts further. If you get good

grades, you need to get better grades next time. So you will never achieve success and always

push it over the horizon into the future.

2. Happiness makes someone more successful. “The Happiness Advantage” means you are

better at getting a job, 31% more productive, more resilient.

In 21 days you can rewire your brain to see things more positively. Shawn suggests writing

down 3 things you are grateful for, perform random acts of kindness, meditate to clear your

mind.
