Enter the cult of extreme productivity | Mark Adams | TEDxHSG


In this talk Mark shares a dramatic and powerful system that takes productivity thinking to whole new and terrifying level, allowing a person to achieve almost any goal they set themselves with rapid speed. The secret to this type of exponential success? Bin your ‘affirmations’ and ‘goals’ and instead embrace fear as your friend by making irreversible decisions. Instead of hapless resolutions members of the «Lock-In» cult contract with themselves in a way that they cannot escape from (without suffering brutal consequences). The “Lock-In" system harnesses our most primal evolutionary instinct — to avoid pain — and uses it to radically supercharge our lives. Many of the most successful people in history have used its phenomenal power to create extraordinary success. Think youre hardcore enough? Then enter the Cult of Extreme Productivity Mark Adams is Vice President and Head of Innovation at VICE, which has come from humble beginnings as a print magazine to digitally transform into a 5 billion dollar youth media empire. In this talk, Mark describes the cult of extreme productivity that he became part of alongside his brother. The cult is all about making irreversible decisions that make “manifesting” your dreams the only option because not achieving it would create indescribable suffering. This is the second time Mark has done a TEDx talk. The first time his talk was banned.

Никогда не поздно | Антонина Стерина | TEDxNovosibirsk


Случалось ли вам день за днем просыпаться в отвратительном настроении?

Бывало ли так, что вы чувствовали себя совершенно несчастным уже с утра, хотя объективно у вас все прекрасно — семья, карьера, дети?

Представьте себе, иногда этого недостаточно, чтобы быть счастливым.
Чего же тогда не хватает?

Антонина Стерина рассказывает в своем выступлении о том, чего именно не хватало ей: “И если вы, как и я когда-то, просыпаетесь несчастным, возможно, в вашем сердце стучит пока еще не сбывшаяся и очень важная мечта. Я расскажу о том, что осуществлять ее никогда не поздно!”

ТЕМА: «Хищник Нежность. Встречи с китами»
Мы расскажем о нашем опыте непосредственного общения с китами, прежде всего — с кашалотами, которые являются самыми крупными хищниками на планете. Одновременно — это едва ли не самые загадочные существа с удивительными способностями, о которых до сих пор крайне мало известно. Они обладатели самого большого и высокоорганизованного в природе мозга (20 кг) и самого гигантского сердца (кубический метр в объеме). Несколько лет экспедиций к семейству кашалотов целиком меняют масштаб нашего восприятия вселенной и разумной жизни. Мы покажем уникальные фото- и видеоматериалы, до сих пор не публиковавшиеся.

TALK: Predator Tenderness. Meetings with whales.
We will tell about our experience of direct communication with whales, first of all, with sperm whales, which are the largest predators on the planet. At the same time its almost the most mysterious creatures with amazing abilities, about which it is still extremely little known. They possess the largest and the most highly organized brain (20 kg) and the most gigantic heart (cubic meter in volume). Several years of expeditions to the family of sperm whales have completely changed the scale of our perception of the universe and intelligent life. We will show unique photo and video materials, which have not been published yet.
