How to be Happy All the Time with 'Search Inside Yourself'

"Search Inside Yourself" is the most rewarding training program Google has ever created for its employees.  Now you too can share in this discovery for this Search Inside Yourself method is now available to all in the form of cheap e-books (only S$5 at Google Playstore). 

Search Inside Yourself works in 3 easy steps:
  1. Attention Training
  2. Self-Knowledge and Self-Mastery
  3. Creating Useful Mental Habits
Attention Training
Attention training is the basis of all abilities.  You train your attention so that you can relax and yet be alert at the same time: relaxed so that your mind is calm and clear and alert so that you are alert to that attention.  

Self-Knowledge and Self-Mastery
Using your trained attention you can observe your thought stream and your emotions with high clarity and from a third-party objectivity.  With this you will not be attached to your own feelings, you will develop a sense of equanimity and with that you will develop self-mastery and self-knowledge

Creating Useful Mindful Mental Habits
One very useful mindful mental habit is to be happy.  Many people think that happiness is a pursuit, but we know that it is the clear and calm mind that gives you happiness.  All the worldly material comforts will not give us sustained happiness because of impermanence and un-satisfaction. 

A even more useful mindful mental habit is to feel happy for others to be happy.  We call this Appreciative Joy, which is the opposite of jealousy.  Imagine whenever you meet anybody, your habitual, instinctive first thought is I wish for this person to be happy.  Having such habits change everything at work, for your joy will be picked up by others.  You'll create a type of trust that leads to a highly happy work environment, filled with joy and harmony.

"Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
