Time Stamped Show Notes:

07:15 – The section in the book is called “Systemic deprogramming”

When we find things we like about our parents, we emulate those behaviors, and we try and transfer those positive traits. When we find things we don’t like, we either repeat the cycle, or we take that pendulum and swing in the opposite direction.
It’s the idea that we have been programmed since before birth on how to live.

11:11 – Section in the book called the “Highlight Real”

It’s all about the idea that you’re sitting there looking at your friends doing or people you don’t know, doing all these cool and interesting things.
Those are looking at your social media thinking the exact same thing, because most people, unless they’re drama seekers aren’t posting the negative stuff that happens in their life.

15:40 – Terry’s recently made the switch on Facebook from using my profile to a page

17:13 – How the books were written first

It started as basically a series of blog posts. And so each section is really just a thought starter to get you looking at life. They’re looking at life in a little different way.

So the idea is that over the course of the month, you can totally level up your mindset, and similar to how he wrote his first book.
The idea of being that you could just open any page, read something pretty quickly for 2 or 3 min, and then get back to what you were doing.

19:30 – The ability to make the shift and start

It can happen right now, but you’re not going to see the results of that effort immediately.

21:36 – The idea of 54 shades of gray.

This idea is that you know things aren’t black and white. They’re just not.
And a lot of people look at life, is it’s a series of binary choices. But there are always more than just 2 choices and one of those choices could be to choose to do it later.
There are all these gradients in between. It frees us to make better decisions.

22:46 – Be more flexible

It’s about “How do you approach life? How do you think about things?
You want to be flexible in your thought process. You want to be flexible in the actions you take. You want to be flexible in how you deal with things.

23:57 – Changing stress

It’s changing stress is how we look at it and then using stress fuel is how we put it to get used.
The anxiety happens because we make it happen.
It’s the idea that terrible things gonna happen, and your only control is how you respond to it.

25:36 – Finding harmony and the fuck she gives

You have plenty of f’s to give. You’re just giving them to the wrong things.
We have to be really mindful of how we use those, how we think about them, how we talk about them and make sure that the people that we care and the items that we care about.

27:37 – Where you can find the landing page?

Terry has been doing Facebook live every Friday morning where he goes through a handful, 7 of the chapters or sections, and talks about each one.
From there you can fill out a quick form with your email address, so you can end up getting notifications to when the book actually is live.

30:19 – Stephen “tWitch” Boss, the amiable DJ for “Ellen DeGeneres Show

Because if people empower themselves ahead of time something like that it won’t get to that level.
People need to surround themselves with people that care.

32:31 – Find your vibe and your tribe
