1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 2: Now we're back into time travel. You were telling us 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: what got you interested after this horrible episode when you 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 2: were four. As you became an adult, you stayed interested 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: in time travel. How come? 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, because time seemed to pass differently for me. Again, 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 3: I could make things slow down. 8 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: I could. Again. 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: I gave the example if I drop a wineglass, I 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 3: can catch it by the stem. And I think one 11 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: reason is, and this is happening a lot in sports 12 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 3: where people slow down the field. Michael Jordan was famous 13 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 3: for this, and so slowing down the field where your 14 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 3: brain slows down, time slows down what you see so 15 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 3: that it doesn't pass at a normal time. Obviously, if 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 3: you drop a glass, you can't just grab it because 17 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 3: you would know where its stem was. But if you 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 3: can slow it down, you can see where the stem 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 3: is and just pick it out of the air. 20 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: Interesting you say that, Lisa, because I was told by 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: professional hockey players and baseball player, the good ones, that 22 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: they had the ability to slow down a pitch mentally 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: when it was being tossed at them, or a hockey 24 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: puck that was shot at them. They were able to 25 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: slow it down and pick it up by slowing down time. 26 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: That's right. 27 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 3: Well, there are a couple of theories about what time is. 28 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 3: One is that it only it only exists in our minds. 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 3: So in our minds, we feel that time flows forward, 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 3: and that's because we remember the past. But we don't 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 3: remember the future, so we think it flows forward. So 32 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: if time only exists in our individual minds, then it 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 3: can pass differently for different people. Einstein famously said, you know, 34 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: when you meet a pretty girl and hour seems like 35 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 3: a minute, But if your hand's on a hot stove, 36 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: a minute seems like an hour. And I think that's 37 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: true for all of us. So if time is only 38 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 3: in our minds, as some theorize, and we're sort of 39 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: creating it, then we can learn how to slow it down. 40 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: We can learn how to speed it up, although most 41 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: people don't want to do that, right, and we can 42 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: control our lives a little bit better. 43 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: Is it just as easy to access the past as 44 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: it is the future. 45 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: Well, again, we don't remember the future, so our brains. 46 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: Our brains are very involved in how we perceive time. 47 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 3: So let's say that there's an arrow of time beginning 48 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 3: right this minute and flying through time, and our brains 49 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: are taking little snapshots of it along the way, and 50 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 3: then those become memories and so but people do have 51 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 3: experiences of deja vus. I'm sure you've had it where 52 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: you feel like something has happened before. 53 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: Oh sure, right, and. 54 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 4: So you have that. 55 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: So what's that about? 56 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 3: Well, is it time travel or is it your brain 57 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 3: mixing up what's happening right now with what happened before 58 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 3: as a memory. The truth is scientists don't know. But 59 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 3: time does not always pass the same way for all 60 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 3: people in all instances, that's for sure. 61 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: Lisa, how would you categorize something like Stephen Jobs from 62 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: the late Stephen Jobs from Apple Computer, who had the 63 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: vision of the Apple iPhone into the future. 64 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's imagination again, back to Einstein, he said, 65 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: you know, well, Einstein was not the smartest person ever born, 66 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: but he probably had the biggest imagination. So I think 67 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: if you can imagine things, you can pull things out 68 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: of the future that you could imagine might happen. And 69 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 3: then he built an entire company, in fact, an entire industry, 70 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 3: and now the world which sort of revolves around his 71 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: vision for what could possibly be. I love Star Trek 72 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: for that reason. A lot of things you see in 73 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: Star Trek have actually happened, like the flip phone. 74 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: That's right. Do you think the time travel in a 75 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: machine will be possible. 76 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 3: Well, we don't know how to do that, and so 77 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 3: we again, as I spoke about, time doesn't always travel 78 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: the same way for all people in all instances, and 79 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: so if you're going very fast, time appears to stand still. 80 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: If you are if you're close to intense gravity, time 81 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: would see it would stand still for you, while it 82 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: would pass norm for everybody else. Building a machine to 83 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: do that, scientists are definitely not there yet. They are 84 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: thinking about other ways to explain time, through formulas and 85 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: through how our brain works. I'm not sure that we're 86 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: going to be able to build a machine anytime quickly. 87 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 3: But if there are aliens and they were very advanced, 88 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: they probably could. 89 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: They may already have it. They may. 90 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 3: And in fact, when you think about it, our planets 91 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 3: and stars are so far away from us that at 92 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: the normal rate of speed of time that we think passes, 93 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: it would take thousands or even millions of years for 94 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: us to get there or there, or people who are 95 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 3: there aliens there to get to us. But if they 96 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: could manipulate time, if they could travel at the speed 97 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 3: of time, then time would stop for them and they 98 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: could end up here in no time. They would have 99 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: aged not at all, and we would have aged millions 100 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 3: of years. 101 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: It was a black and white photograph of somebody from 102 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: the eighteen hundreds. Clearly it showed him in the streets 103 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: of Brooklyn holding the cell phone to his ear in 104 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: the eighteen hundreds. What the heck is that all about? Yeah, 105 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: that is interesting. 106 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 3: So I get this questions a lot. If aliens could 107 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: time travel, would we even know about it or see it? 108 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: And so, as I said, you know, if aliens were 109 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: very advanced, they might not even travel the way we 110 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: see in movies. Instead of just moving through space, they 111 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: might also be able to change how they move through time. 112 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: And then there's something called out of phase. Here's an 113 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: easy way to think about it. So imagine two people 114 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: are clapping in the same room. If they clap at 115 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: the same time, you hear one clap, imagine that's one 116 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 3: moment of time. But if one claps a tiny bit 117 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: earlier or later, then the claps don't line up. They 118 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: are out of phase. Now imagine that with time. If 119 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: aliens were able to be just a few seconds ahead 120 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: of us or a few seconds behind us, they could 121 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: be in the same place, but not at the same moment. 122 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 3: That would make them very hard to see. We couldn't 123 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: detect them at all, like two people in the same 124 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 3: room who are not clapping at the same time. And 125 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 3: a lot of people report seeing something out of the 126 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: corner of their eye for a moment and then it's gone. 127 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: So the photograph you're talking about may be that and 128 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: that creature alien whoever, that was decided to be in phase, 129 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 3: meaning in the same moment as the camera was taking 130 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: the picture, rather than out of phase. 131 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: Nisia, would you call intuition time travel? 132 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. I think into our brains. 133 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: Our brains are very alert, and in fact, studies have 134 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 3: shown that our brains actually perceive things before we think 135 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: we know them, a couple of seconds before. So we 136 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: may see things and put things together in ways that 137 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: we're not aware of in our subconscious or unconscious brains, 138 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 3: and they come to us as an inspiration or an idea, 139 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: or an intuition or a vision for the future. But 140 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: really it's how our brains work putting things together. I 141 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 3: wish it were true that we could somehow envision the 142 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 3: future and really remember it and then go there like 143 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: Steve Jobs And I. 144 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 5: Know you're going to want some the after hearing this. 145 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 5: This is an amazing story. 146 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: We've got Stephen and Malachi Gregory in Nelson, New Zealand. 147 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 5: I understand that Malachi, who's eight almost nine years old now, 148 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 5: was suffering with not just one or two warts, but 149 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 5: I mean as significant outbreak of warts all over his body, 150 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 5: so significant it impacted his ability to really function. 151 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 152 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was having trouble even holding a pencil to right. 153 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 4: It was Ty's book actually that got me thinking about it. 154 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. 155 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 5: It is an amazing immuno modulator, and so I can 156 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 5: see that it would work. And so at what point 157 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 5: did you see that there was actually improvement it's really 158 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 5: going to work. 159 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: Well, look, we really started to notice it around twelve weeks. 160 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 4: You can see these things actually getting smaller and smaller 161 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 4: and then going down to with just little red marks. 162 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 4: The whole things are gone, and we're talking about what's 163 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 4: you know one the size of the wanner. I thought, 164 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 4: no way, that's gonna. Wow, that's just been miraculous to 165 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 4: see him get into a pair of shoes. 166 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Yes, how wonderful. 167 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 4: It's great to see him so happy, and. 168 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely wonderful for instead of seen it that is 169 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: blown away. 170 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: TI, this is awesome. 171 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is awesome. 172 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 6: Another amazing story. Why we're talking about Carnivora. Call them 173 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 6: to awaken your immune system and protect yourself now called 174 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 6: one eight sixty six eight three six eighty seven thirty five. 175 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 6: That's one eight six six eight three six eighty seven 176 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 6: thirty five. Or visit carnivora dot com c A r 177 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 6: niv O r A carnivora dot com. 178 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: What do you think time really is? 179 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: Well, again, there are a couple of There are a 180 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: couple of ways to explain time. So one theory, as 181 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: I mentioned before, is called the arrow of time. So 182 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: that means that time moves in one direction from the 183 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 3: past to the future, like an arrow flying forward. 184 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: We see this every day. 185 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: A glass can break, but it doesn't jump back together 186 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 3: and ice smelts, and it doesn't suddenly freeze again on 187 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: its own. Things move forward, not backward. So that's one 188 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: theory of how time works. Another theory is called entropy. 189 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: That's a scientific term. It just means that things become 190 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 3: messier over time. So if you pour cream into your coffee, 191 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 3: it spreads out and mixes in. If you watch your 192 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: closet floor for a month, it gets messy, or over 193 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: time it started neat and now it's messy, so it 194 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: doesn't go back to the way it was before. And 195 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: scientists think this is one reason and one explanation for 196 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 3: time and why we think it always moves forward. But 197 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: the one that I love is called the block theory 198 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 3: of time. So this says that the past, the president 199 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: in the future might all exist at the same time. 200 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 3: Think about different wooden blocks sitting on the floor next 201 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: to one another and you're looking down at them. You 202 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: can pick up one and hold one block in your 203 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 3: hand at a time, but all the blocks are already there, 204 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: and the block in your hand might be a moment 205 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: in time. There was a movie Interstellar with Matt Damon. 206 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 3: He's behind the bookcase and he can see many different moments. 207 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 3: You remember that sure do like their physical pages or blocks. 208 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: That's the block theory of time. And his daughter who 209 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 3: is looking at the bookshelf, she's in a different moment 210 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: of time. She can't see or hear him, but whatever 211 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 3: happened to him, he can see all moments and choose 212 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 3: which one to experience. 213 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,239 Speaker 2: And he did it all without a time machine. 214 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: Well he did the Yeah, it was a black hole involved, 215 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 3: remember right, so this no one's ever seen a black hole. 216 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: We theorize that they are true. And then there are 217 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: wormholes related to black holes, where we might be able 218 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: to travel throughout the universe in some sort of tunnel 219 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 3: called a wormhole. All of these things are theoretically possible, 220 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 3: and in science, if it hasn't been disproven, then it's 221 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: possible that it's true. 222 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: We're going to take calls next hour with Lisa Broadwreck. 223 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: Those of you on hold waiting for open lines in 224 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: the event that she did not come back, just hang 225 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: right there and we'll get to you as well. He 226 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: wrote a book with Marshall Goldsmith called Permanence tell Us 227 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: about that I did you know? 228 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: And it's again it's an exploration of how our minds 229 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: perceive our lives in time. And the one thing I 230 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 3: wanted to know was if people start a really good 231 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: habit or a really great way of being, why do 232 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 3: they stop doing it? And what is the way they 233 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 3: could permanently change themselves. And so it's a very simple 234 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: I like very simple explanations for things, even though I 235 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 3: talk about science a lot. And so the very simple 236 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 3: way you could do that is you could set aside 237 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: two minutes a day at the end of your day 238 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: in which you answered very simple questions for yourself. And 239 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 3: some of the questions that come up in the book 240 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: are did I do my best to be happy? And 241 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: did I do my best to build personal relationships? Imagine 242 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: if throughout your day you were asking yourself this question 243 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 3: and then you graded yourself at the end of the day. 244 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: What the research showed over a year, and I did 245 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: active research on this, was that people actually change their 246 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 3: behavior in real time so they could answer the question 247 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 3: in the affirmative as a positive. So that means that 248 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 3: you can change your behavior and you can change it permanently. 249 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 2: Do all people want to change your behavior? Lisa? 250 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: You know, I think especially during this time, you know, 251 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: we talk about we say the word time all the time, 252 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 3: and we don't know really what means during this moment 253 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 3: that we're living in. People want, People want something to 254 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 3: rely on permanence, and I think that if they could 255 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: become the best version of themselves, whatever that is. Let's 256 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 3: say they work a lot and they don't spend enough 257 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: time with their kids, and they see their kids' lives 258 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 3: going by, or they know that they are not paying 259 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 3: enough attention to their spouse, or they're not getting exercise. 260 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 3: I think most people have things like that and they 261 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 3: want to change them and they want to stay that way. 262 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: Can they get that way through the. 263 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: Research I did? I did research with people all over 264 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 3: the world for a year, asking these simple questions, very 265 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 3: simple questions like did you do your best to be happy? 266 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 3: And so they would live their day? And I called 267 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 3: them at the end of every workday for a year, 268 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 3: these leaders who are around the world, business leaders, and 269 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: I asked them. I asked them six questions plus questions 270 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: they might have of themselves. One of them was did 271 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 3: I do my best to forgive my parents? That's a 272 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: really profound question. And at the end of the period 273 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 3: of time of research, all of them were answering, yes. 274 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: That is great. Now you have guided more than twenty 275 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: companies through all kinds of growth. What do they want 276 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 2: to know? 277 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: Well, they certainly want to know the future, right, so 278 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 3: they want to so Companies are all about risk and return. 279 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: They take risks in order to get a return for 280 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: their shareholders, and then the shareholders are us and our 281 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: four oh one ks and the economy and all of that. 282 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: Companies want to know what people want to know. They 283 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: want to know what's going to happen, and they want 284 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: to know why things happen to them. So when I 285 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 3: work with companies, I'm actually working with them now to 286 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: do big change initiatives and to be able to stay 287 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: that way and stay that way through the whole company, 288 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 3: asking themselves let's say, six six very simple questions at 289 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: the end of the day, and not one person doing it, 290 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 3: but the entire company doing it, so the entire company 291 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: is focused on the same mission and they're doing it 292 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 3: every day. 293 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: Do you have to be specially gifted to be able 294 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: to do these things? 295 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: No, it's for everybody. Six simple questions. Doing things with 296 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 3: your mind. I think we all wonder about these things. 297 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: It's really allowing your mind to dream, as you talked 298 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: about with Steve Jobs, dream and envision and know what 299 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: happens to you, and then think about what happens to 300 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: you so you can explain it to yourself. I think 301 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 3: not knowing why things happen to people is probably the 302 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 3: biggest source of unhappiness and confusion among people. People want 303 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 3: to know that, and I think about if you think 304 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: about it yourself and do a little exploration like on 305 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 3: this show, I think you can learn things about yourself. 306 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 307 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: one am Eastern and go to Coast to coastam dot 308 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: com for more
