we are in loveland. our experts over the last 4 years, have been youth. same story as Meng, scale the individual rather than any innovation. the difference… youth’s vision is to do this with public ed as the vehicle.
if we want world peace, soul peace is the ticket. attachment & authenticity the means. something our souls are craving.. and now we can.
let’s.

chade-meng tan – search inside yourself
book is “Search Inside Yourself” by Chade-Meng Tan
“A study by Stefanie Spera, Eric Buhrfeind, and James Pennebaker had a group of laid-off professionals write to themselves about their feelings for five consecutive days for twenty minutes each day. These people found new jobs at a much higher rate than the people in the non-writing control group. After eight months, 68.4 percent of them found jobs, versus 27.3 percent from the control group. Those numbers just blew my mind! Usually, if an intervention can make a difference of a few percentage points, you can publish a paper. But here, we are not talking about 3 percentage points. We are talking about more than 40 percentage points! And all it took was one hundred minutes of intervention.”
AND
“Researchers asked 49 college students to take two minutes on two consecutive days and write about something they found to be emotionally significant. The participants registered immediate improvements in mood and performed better on standardized measures of physiological well-being. An extended inward look isn’t necessary, the study concludes; merely “broaching the topic on one day and briefly exploring it the next” is enough to put things in perspective.”

meeting up with James Doty via bif 9 livestream…
so finding this..
Conversations on Compassion: Chade-Meng Tan, Google’s ‘Jolly Good Fellow’ jan 2013
perhaps scale world peace faster Meng.. if we also do it via public ed… where 90% of people are affected in some way..
like search inside yourself – on steroids.. perhaps..
what we should be looking for instead – lost opportunities… like missing it – ness, like 7 billion Jack‘s…
question at 1:05:00 – perhaps – this is how we take it outside of google and stanford… so siyli on steroids.. because again.. it’s getting at all those people within school buildings.. freed up.. 7 hours a day… and working within the eclectic ecosystem of a city/community…
1:31:00 – perhaps too, tech as placebo, reducing time between intention and action, every day.. to see those connections, rapid prototyping, ongoing iterations, will exponentiate/hasten this along..
