Jottings

• Theme: Being EQ (Emotional Intelligence) smart
• EQ: being smart about emotions
  - Self Awareness (knowing feelings, cognitive control)
  - Self Management (put positives forth)
  - Empathy
  - Social skills, relationships
• EQ more important than IQ for growth-success.
• EQ is learn-able, so teach in school, better before age 20.
• Any Meditation works, makes calmer, focuses attention.
• Meditation shifts from Sympathetic (flight or fight, amygdala) to para-sympathetic (calm, pre-frontal cortex)
• Social brain: links to brains of others. Invisible influence just by presence.
• Emotional control: Have ability to take down anyone, but don’t do it.
• Finding inner drive/purpose: by accident, self-awareness, evaluating choices
• Successful entrepreneurs: growth mindset, visualization, get performance feedback, risk after homework, grit, help others (empathy)
