on 24 - 28th march 2018 the international astronomical union ( iau ) held its huge communicating astronomy with the public ( cap2018 ) conference in fukuoka , japan . cosmos was represented at the meeting by team member jacinta delhaize from the university of zagreb , who gave a talk on the various public outreach and communications initiatives of cosmos .
cosmos holidays - experience everything travel has to offer : distinct culture , world - class tour directors , plenty of free time - all of this plus more at remarkable value .
in addition to offering shows in the explorers ' dome , orion will sail with a viking resident astronomer who will lecture on the mysteries of the cosmos and how humans have explored it .
the human loss of the sense of sacred has been driven by a mechanization of the world that privileges the mundane and the material . yet the earliest surviving history of the human mind reveals a widespread , embodied human faculty for perception of the cosmos and an intimate human relation to the cosmos . this history hints of an origin story that may be partly recovered by sacred relics of human prehistory .

cosmos often simply means
universe
. but the word is generally used to suggest an orderly or harmonious universe , as it was originally used by pythagoras in the 6th century b . c . thus , a religious mystic may help put us in touch with the cosmos , and so may a physicist . the same is often true of the adjective cosmic : cosmic rays ( really particles rather than rays ) bombard us from outer space , but cosmic questions come from human attempts to find order in the universe .

cosmos and history is a journal of natural and social philosophy . it serves those who see philosophy’s vocation in questioning and challenging prevailing assumptions about ourselves and our place in the world , developing new ways of thinking about physical existence , life , humanity and society , so helping to create the future insofar as thought affects the issue .
cosmos , fox’s much - anticipated remake of carl sagan’s classic wonder - of - science series , is drawing attention for an unexpected reason . the middle of the premier episode features a long segment on giordano bruno , an early - modern friar and philosopher who was burned at the stake for his outlandish theological views . bruno’s heresy was partially related to his hypotheses about the universe , some of which were astonishingly correct : that the cosmos is infinite , and that the sun is just another star . his proto - scientific inquiry and his clash with the catholic church made bruno an enlightenment hero , lionized by modern historians and even by figures as celebrated as the german philosopher g . w . f . hegel .
that’s more or less the story that gets told in cosmos . bruno is introduced as “only one man on the whole planet” who suspected that the universe was larger than everyone living in the year 1600 thought . neil degrasse tyson ambles through alleys in the vatican , explaining that there was “no freedom of thought in italy , ” and bruno’s theories brought him “into the clutches of the thought police . ” bruno , according to cosmos , wandered around europe , arguing passionately but fruitlessly for his new explanation of the universe , only to be mocked , impoverished , and eventually imprisoned and executed . catholic authorities are depicted as cartoon ghouls , and introduced with sinister theme music . tyson explains that the church’s modus operandi was to “investigate and torment anyone who voiced views that differed from theirs . ”
the deimos 10k spectroscopic catalog contains 10718 object out to z = 6 in the cosmos field observed through multi - slit spectroscopy with the deep imaging multi - object spectrograph ( deimos ) on the keck ii telescope . the objects have been selected from a variety of input catalogs based on multi - wavelength observations in the field , and thus have a diverse selection function , which enables the study of the diversity in the galaxy population .
but that chaotic story is worth telling , even when it comes to pop entertainment . it reminds us that history rarely gives us uncomplicated heroes or black - and - white moral choices . it reminds us that even our most impressive rational feats are colored and shaped by our irrational natures , and that our attempts to explain and master the world are always , at some level , an illusion . cosmos is a grand tour of the amazing things we’ve figured out about the world , and it should also be a reminder of how many more remain unfathomable mysteries .
cosmos and history : the journal of natural and social philosophy is a peer - reviewed , open - access journal of natural and social philosophy . it serves those who see philosophy ' s vocation in questioning and challenging prevailing assumptions about ourselves and our place in the world , developing new ways of thinking about physical existence , life , humanity and society , so helping to create the future insofar as thought affects the issue . philosophy so conceived is not exclusively identified with the work of professional philosophers , and the journal welcomes contributions from philosophically oriented thinkers from all disciplines .
this thirteen part series is carl sagan ' s personal account of the universe and how humans have interpreted it through time . in cosmos , carl sagan takes us on location to places in the world where the most important people and ideas in science and astronomy were born , and to places in outer space where those ideas have revealed the universe to us . carl sagan shares a sense of wonder that is both intelligent and humorous , while occasionally warning us of our capabilities of self - destruction . though cosmos was made during the height of the cold war , it still stands as a reminder of global problems and dangers we still need to resolve . this series has either consciously or unconsciously set the standard for the format of almost every hosted science show or series on television since it was made , and it ' s no wonder . carl sagan is a charismatic and sincere authority on the subject matter , and the music score is mostly by vangelis ( bladerunner , chariots of fire , 1492 ) synergy , tangerine dream , vivaldi , and more . the visuals are amazing and remain as relevant as they were on the release date .
what cosmos doesn’t mention is that bruno’s conflict with the catholic church was theological , not scientific , even if it did involve his wild—and occasionally correct—guesses about the universe . as discover magazine’s corey powell pointed out , the philosophers of the 16th century weren’t anything like scientists in the modern sense . bruno , for instance , was a “pandeist , ” which is the belief that god had transformed himself into all matter and ceased to exist as a distinct entity in himself . he believed in all sort of magic and spirits , and extrapolated those views far beyond his ideas about the infinity of the universe . in contrast to contemporaries who drew more modest conclusions from their similar ideas , bruno agitated for an elaborate counter - theology , and was ( unlike the poor , humble outcast portrayed in cosmos ) supported by powerful royal benefactors . the church didn’t even have a position on whether the earth orbited the sun , and didn’t bring it up at bruno’s trial . while the early - modern religious persecution certainly can’t be denied , bruno was killed because he flamboyantly denied basic tenets of the catholic faith , not because religious authorities were out to suppress all “freedom of thought . ”
this article explains how , according to the pythagorean concept of the first four numbers ( 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ) , augustine develops his own musical cosmology in christian theological context . augustine agrees with the pythagorean cosmology that numbers as the essence of the cosmos have been measured and arranged in a harmonic order and the sequence of the first four numbers perfectly illustrates the harmonic order . based on the unchangeable nature of numbers , augustine argues that the ratios of the first four numbers ( 1 / 1 , 1 / 2 , 2 / 3 , 3 / 4 ) are not only the fundamental of harmonic law , but also the highest modus , by which god created all beauties / forms .
cosmos ’ treatment of bruno as a “martyr for science” is just a small example of a kind of cultural myth we tell ourselves about the development of modern society , one that’s almost completely divorced from the messy reality . it’s a story of an upward march from ignorance and darkness , where bold , rebel intellectuals like bruno faced down the tyrannical dogma of religion and eventually gave us secularism , democracy , and prosperity . iconoclastic individuals are our heroes , and big , bad institutions—monarchies , patriarchies , churches—are the villains . in the process , our fascinating , convoluted history gets flattened into a kind of secular bible story to remind us why individual freedom and “separation of church and state” are the most important things for us to believe in .
does it matter that a tv show doesn’t get into complexities that divide even the world’s leading historians ? to a certain extent , misunderstanding the story of bruno isn’t going to do a whole lot of harm—especially in a country where so many people are in denial about basic scientific facts . but that cosmos added an unnecessary and skewed version of bruno—especially one skewed in this particular way—is a good miniature lesson about our tendency to turn the past into propaganda for our preferred view of the present . there are cultural , religious , and even political reasons that the story of scientific progress and political enlightenment are so attractive , and filter down even into our children’s entertainment . it allows us to see ourselves as the apex of history , the culmination of an inevitable , upward surge of improvement . it reassures us that our political values are righteous , and reminds us who the enemies are . the messy , complex , non - linear movement of actual history , by contrast , is unsettling , humbling—even terrifying .
finding the methods and results of the allegedly rational thought of modern naturalists seriously deficient , vine deloria jr . , native indian political activist turned naturalistic thinker , suggests that indigenous thinkers are in this respect more sensible than modern , scientistic naturalists . he traces their good sense to a consistent empiricism which strives to take into account all aspects of their concrete experiencing . lacking however the support of a vitalistic metaphysics that can synthesize their best insights , their modes of thought tend to be dismissed as superstitious and irrational . yet it is nonetheless possible to defend their core belief , that they dwell in a moral universe . to see this one requires a means to overcome the deadening effects of the abstract language of modern reason which presupposes the adequacy of the metaphysics of mechanistic materialism . this can be done starting with samuel butler ' s incomplete lamarckian account of the evolution of this living cosmos , an account that can be supplemented by fashioning a vitalistic metaphysics based on the most salient characteristics of a living self using certain insights of a . n . whitehead , gilles deleuze , s . t . coleridge , among others .

tuna was a 2 year feasibility study into the work needed to develop networks of nanites that behave safely . nanites are novel devices that operate on the nanoscopic level to cause macroscopic effects ; nanotech assemblers are nanites that build artefacts .
( 1 ) to investigate the languages needed for developing abstract models of nanites and the protocols needed for inter - nanite communication and for external control .
( 2 ) to investigate methods for verifying and validating executable models of nanites .
( 3 ) to investigate the requirements for an appropriate simulation framework for executable models of nanites and of networks of nanites .
( 4 ) to investigate the nature of safety cases for the use of networks of nanites .
in carrying out these investigations , we used a case study from the field of nanomedicine : the process of haemostasis ( the staunching of bleeding ) caused by mechanical platelets .

astronomer dr . carl sagan is host and narrator of this 13 - hour series that originally aired on public broadcasting stations in the united states . dr . sagan describes the universe in a way that appeals to a mass audience , by using earth as a reference point , by speaking in terms intelligible to non - scientific people , by relating the exploration of space to that of the earth by pioneers of old , and by citing such earth legends as the library of alexandria as metaphors for space - related future events . among dr . sagan ' s favorite topics are the origins of life , the search for life on mars , the infernal composition of the atmosphere of venus and a warning about a similar effect taking place on earth due to global pollution and the
greenhouse effect
, the lives of stars , interstellar travel and the effects of attaining the speed of light , the danger of mankind technologically self - destructing , and the search , using radio technology , for intelligent life in deep space .

she spoke about the various successes and challenges of engaging the public in such a large multi - national , multi - wavelength astronomical consortium . this is important because we think our data and science is great and we want to share it with everyone ! the main challenge is that our astronomers , therefore the members of the public who we are trying to reach , are dispersed throughout the world over many different time zones and languages .
therefore we mainly communicate our science using online platforms . we have this website and a presence on facebook , twitter and you tube . we use these platforms to share our video blogs , news , press releases and more .

neil degrasse tyson’s remake of the 1980s series tries to explain how early - modern thinkers began to discover the wonders of the universe . its history is as cartoonish as its graphics .
the real path to our modern selves is much more complicated—so complicated that academic historians still endlessly debate how it happened . while some scholars treat “the enlightenment” as if it were a single movement , others argue that it unfolded differently—at different paces , in different styles—in different countries . some argue that atheism was a central concern , while others think the “age of reason” was driven more by the desire for greater political freedom . either way , deeply religious catholic scholars contributed to many of the great discoveries of natural science , and even the foundations of disciplines like geology . very few of the heroes of the enlightenment were atheists , and even the scientific luminaries of the period fell for various forms of “occultism , ” from alchemy to spirit - conjuring . many were elitists who , despite their opposition to tyranny , remained contemptuous of the masses . the veneration of reason did not lead neatly or automatically to moderate democratic politics ; in some cases , like the terror of the french revolution , it resulted in bloody brutality not much different from the sort visited on religious heretics like bruno a few centuries before .

is no longer possible , eliade passionately insists on the value of understanding this view in order to enrich our contemporary imagination of what it is to be human . jonathan z . smith ' s new introduction provides the contextual background to the book and presents a critical outline of eliade ' s argument in a way that encourages readers to engage in an informed conversation with this classic text .

makes both intelligible and compelling the religious expressions and activities of a wide variety of archaic and

religious cultures . while acknowledging that a return to the
archaic
is no longer possible , eliade passionately insists on the value of understanding this view in order to enrich our contemporary imagination of what it is to be human . jonathan z . smith ' s new introduction provides the contextual background to the book and presents a critical outline of eliade ' s argument in a way that encourages readers to engage in an informed conversation with this classic text .
in a nutshell , this book concerns the translation of myth as a way of mans coping with the cruel world and the events therein . to primitive man the only acts that where valid where those that mirrored the actions of the gods and he frequently wiped his slate clean with frenzied ceremonies , so as to avoid responsibility for his transgressive acts . modern man developed a more inclusive view of himself where by his experience was / is part of a refinement of the soul and his historic sufferings are lessons on the road to his perfection . the development of these systems is determined by the examination of beliefs sourced from a wide range of ancient texts which when cross referenced form a generalised archaic ontology . the text contains an excessive amount of references and the main points / theories are repeated numerous times , but the length of the book and the information contained within make it quite tolerable for the non - academic to read . the final chapter is particularly illuminating as to the predicament of modern man in respect of his autonomy in a world where history is made by a minority .
i love this book since it is very useful book to support my research directly . i have got three books from mircea aliade in which he is one of the great thinker in his field .
the romanian - born historian of religion mircea eliade ( 1907–86 ) had to wait for years to get any of the books that would establish his international reputation published in . . .
i have read quite a lot of this kind of stuff , but i must say that this was a book which was so good , and which i enjoyed reading so much that i wished i hadn ' t read it yet .
originally written in 1954 , and is a translation , so the style is not always easily accessible - requires effort to read - but worth it .
eliade is deeply original in his analysis , and i found he transformed my understanding of religious expression and ritual .
myth of the eternal return
is typically considered a vital text to anyone interested in sociological , anthropological and psychological approaches to religion .
this little book has managed to influence all discussions about time not only in religion , but also in psychology ( see norman o .

quantum mechanics is typically divided into two parts : the unobserved amplitude given by the equations of quantum field theory and the observed measurement aspect . we argue that a better approach is insert a probability realm in the middle . the reason is that every measurement involves interactions with a complex environment where massive decoherence transforms the amplitudes into standard probabilities . the probabilities eliminate complex superpositions so that quantum states a and b become classical states a or b . thus the measurement process becomes a simpler and more familiar process of the observer selecting from classical type probabilities . this is close to the approach recommended by henry stapp . we anticipate that by using this approach many of the different interpretations of quantum mechanics become more similar to each other .
morphogenesis , the generation of form , is closely related to the mathematical field of topology , the study of the qualities of shape . since cerebral thought distils itself into shapes , seen and felt , and their subsequent transformation , the study of the emergence and comprehension of shapes is central to address questions of consciousness , emerging at the apparent juxtaposition of the internal world of the mind , and the external world of physical objects . since light is a vibrating electromagnetic wave , we use principles derived from measurements of coherent speckle in light , where energy unfolds out of singularities in the field , to draw analogies with the emergence of the material universe from centers of conscious experience . the vibrational basis of understanding consciousness is additionally complemented with ancient shaivik literature of south asia - the spandakarika ( vibration chronicles ) .
based on the author ' s notes for a presentation to the foundations of mind group in october of 2017 , this paper examines the role of metareligion in obtaining a favorable outcome for the human species as it approaches a singularity with both human and technological aspects . for limited technical background , please consult two of the author ' s previous papers ( langan , 2002 , 2017 ) .
henry stapp ' s realistically interpreted orthodox quantum mechanics suggests that when a question is asked , nature answers . in this formalism ,
the thought itself is the thinker ,
which clears the way for any thinker - human or other - to be an actively creative agent . in this process , an ensuing succession of questions arising in the minds of observers is received and responded to by a
nature
that chooses and implements responses in accordance with born ' s rule in a physically described universe represented by evolving quantum mechanics states . this paper explores what results might be expected if and when artificial general intelligence ( agi ) asks questions , based on stapp ' s orthodox interpretation .
this paper argues against the paradigm of mechanistic reductionism in relation to consciousness . the paradigm impoverishes reality by dismissing the greater part of the experienced world in exchange for control over a small segment . the distortion limits nature with respect to the concept of time and mistakenly defines consciousness as a
property .
the concept of time in the paradigm provides no way to account for remembering other than storage and mechanical retrieval of records of past events , erroneously called
memories .
the error is the conversion of verbs into nouns : taking actions as bytes and bits of data . once this is allowed , the idea that the person is the mind , the mind is the brain and the brain is a computer becomes the bedrock upon which the edifice of ai rises beyond its capacity as a useful tool and betrays humanity by blurring the distinction between self and machine . an alternative view is introduced which suggests the idea of developmental time instead of physical time and replaces
consciousness
with
experience
.
we propose a universal definition of intelligence of a physical system and discuss its implications on design of intelligent systems . the definition proposed is universally valid and does not invoke teleological or anthropic concepts . we discuss the relationship of intelligence to energetic properties by invoking recent results in inequilibrium thermodynamics and computational mechanics . intelligent system design is reformulated in three natural problems : selective forgetting , memory maintenance and self - recording . we conclude with highlighting the relationship of energetic and informational optimality principles involved in designing intelligent physical systems or their spontaneous emergence .
attempts are currently being made to use quantum mechanics as a probe to unravel the mysteries of consciousness . this paper examines this probe , quantum mechanics and its usefulness in getting an insight of working of human consciousness . the formation of quantum mechanics based on certain axioms , its development to study the dynamical behavior and motions of fundamental particles and quantum energy particles moving with the velocity of light , its insistence on wave functions , its probability approach , its dependence on uncertainty principles will all be critically discussed . the result of this discussion will be presented . its limitations in unraveling the form , function and biological nature of consciousness will be presented . the alternative probe available and being used - the translation of upanishadic insight and advaita philosophy into cognitive science elements in delineating the definition , form and function of consciousness will be given . the usefulness of this modeling and analysis in understanding the consciousness , mind and its functions in cognitive science and theory of human language acquisition and communication will also be presented . the physic - chemical nature of ideas , senses , thoughts , feelings , utterances will be grossly dealt with . the functions of consciousness and mind , in knowledge and language acquisition and communication will be dealt with .
whitehead believed that science and philosophy mutually criticize each other to provide imaginative material for their shaping the history of thought . in the early twentieth century , as a mathematician turned philosopher , he took up the task of challenging the emerging scientific theories of the time , such as relativity and quantum mechanics , and provided a radically novel cosmological scheme . he challenged the incoherence of the mechanistic materialistic scientific world with his visionary process - relational model , based on the ontology of organisms . almost a century later , his challenges to science are as , or even more , valid . this paper explores whitehead ' s struggle with relativity , reflects on his response to quantum mechanics , and reviews his tribute to god , based on his philosophical model , as an attempt to understand divergent perspectives on the nature of universe .
the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics , which followed the copenhagen interpretation but was enhanced by primarily werner heisenberg and john von neumann into a fully developed theory , brought in , among others , the role of measurement , available choices and response of the quantum system . it is , more consistent and clear than other interpretations of quantum mechanics as it provides account of the interactions of observers with the external world . as such , the orthodox interpretation does a lot more than just account for physical interactions in the atomic world , which was the original goal of quantum mechanics in the early part of the twentieth century . in this article we present several issues that may have been answered or need further development , such as measurement and observation , what is nature and who the observer is . extending orthodox quantum mechanics , leading to universal non - dual awareness may provide a consistent and integrated view of reality and is consistent with advances in mathematical theory . an issue of paramount importance is what are the philosophical underpinnings or ontological view of the quantum nature of the universe and the role of human minds , observations and choices .
two very significant principles with vast ramifications discovered in the 20th century are the heisenberg uncertainty principle and the nonlocality principles of the einstein , podolsky , rosen ( epr ) paradox . these aspects of quantum theory have major physical and philosophical implications . the fundamental bases of nonlocality in quantum theory lie in the epr paradox , as well as other experiments that demand a nonlocal explanation for the phenomenon they display . the fundamental basis of nonlocality in the universe is fundamental to the properties of consciousness . we examined both micro and macroscopic nonlocality .
since the time of aristotle , metaphysics has been an ill - defined term . this paper defines it as a logically idempotent metalinguistic identity of reality which couples the two initial ingredients of awareness : perceptual reality ( the basis of physics ) , and cognitive - perceptual syntax , a formalization of mind . the explanation has been reduced to a few very simple , clearly explained mathematical ingredients . this paper contains no assumptions or arguable assertions , and is therefore presented as an advanced formulation of logic which has been updated for meaningful reference to the structure of reality at large . this structure , called the cognitive - theoretic model of the universe or ctmu , resolves the problems attending cartesian dualism by replacing dualism with the mathematical property of self - duality , meaning ( for reality - theoretic purposes ) the quantum - level invariance of identity under permutation of objective and spatiotemporal data types . the ctmu takes the form of a global coupling or superposition of mind and physical reality in a self - dual metaphysical identity m : l↔u , which can be intrinsically developed into a logico - geometrically self - dual , ontologically self - contained language incorporating its own medium of existence and comprising its own model therein .
the benedictine monk sean o duinn is well - known for his writings in english and tv documentary appearances , espousing an ecological version of celtic christianity . in his writings in gaelic , free from the vatican censors , a more daring hypothesis emerges ; celtic christianity was infused by old ( possibly aryan ) themes from the indus valley civilization . in this paper , we look at constraints on any new religious system , before excerpts from a work in progress to rescue this great figure as his end nears by translating this work into english .

you hear motoring journalists talking about the
sweet spot
all the time . stereotypically , the sweet spot won ' t be a range - topper , or a base model – it ' ll occupy the middle ground ; however this isn ' t a set - in - stone rule . a sweet spot car is where everything is finely judged , and not one of the car ' s abilities or talents overpowers any of the others . it ' s all about harmony .
like an arrow shot from the bow of a god , i had - for 15 years - ascended into the heavens of successful , professional manhood . without really thinking about it i had been president of the national union of students , a researcher , then - in double - quick time - a producer on the cerebral tv current affairs show weekend world , and finally , in the line of ascent , at 33 , the founding editor of a new politics programme for the bbc . it was clear to me - as it seemed to be clear to the world - that i possessed unusual talents . who knew how golden the future might not be ?
for a man under constant criticism , he is relaxed , his smile occupying much of the wide face under those big glasses . thatcher has gone , and he has probably saved the bbc , and what can he do for me ? now , i know that i must not moan , sound negative or attack my superiors in the organisation . if i do , he ' ll just think that i ' m yet another desperate misfit ( which , of course , is exactly what i am ) and i ' ll be doomed to 20 years of sisyphean futility . so i talk about having been in the one job too long , and feeling that my talents might be better deployed . . . and , absurdly , feel tears of frustration gather behind my eyes .

50 cent ’s life is like a movie , so it makes sense that he’s writing one . the rapper is working on a feature film , before i self - destruct , which is based on his album of the same name . “it’s not purple rain , ” 50 says of the flick , which he also directed and produced . “but it was inspired by the actual music . ” ( his album is due out december 9th ; 50 plans to release the movie simultaneously . )
the film — which isn’t autobiographical — aims to show the complexities of what 50 refers to as “urban life” in a new way : “when [ movies ] portray certain lifestyles they don’t show cause and effect , ” he says . “but i showed characters under pressure in scenarios where they felt like there were no other options , even though there were . ” he adds , “there are always options . people just usually start to see them while being incarcerated — for not seeing them in the first place . ”
as for a soundtrack , tracks from before i self - destruct the album will be missing from the movie . “then interscope would automatically have the rights to it , when they had absolutely no ownership of the actual material , ” says 50 , who penned a separate score for the film and recruited unsigned artists to record vocals . but that doesn’t mean the tunes are sub - par . “i kept the music up to standards , ” says 50 . “i worked with it until it was right . ”

cast your mind back to your childhood for a moment , and ask yourself why goldilocks preferred baby bear ' s bowl of porridge ? because it wasn ' t too hot ; it wasn ' t too cold – it was just right . she found the sweet spot , and as a result she got to enjoy a delicious meal before having to run for her fucking life !
in the motoring world , finding the sweet spot doesn ' t usually conclude with a comparable drama ; it usually results in someone falling in love with a car that presents a level of everything , that is perfectly balanced .
the sweet spot is of imperative importance in the automotive world because it more often that not is the place where the essence of driving pleasure can be found . the horsepower wars of present have resulted in some truly ferocious monsters – but power and performance can reach a point where they overwhelm the driver , and therefore dilute the amount of pleasure there is to be had .
the sweet spot is all about driving pleasure , and therefore it is a phrase that can be said of the greatest driver ' s cars the planet has ever seen . if you care about driving more than anything else , and you want to buy a car that you can use purely for the job of driving and not simply as a tool , then you will probably end up with a car that occupies some form of sweet spot .
the golf gti , the jaguar f - type v6s manual , the bmw m2 , the porsche 911 gt3 , the mclaren 570gt – they are all examples of sweet - spot cars .
like everything however , the sweet spot is completely subjective ; what will be an ideal balance for one person , won ' t be for another . but the paradox of the sweet spot shows that driving pleasure isn ' t necessarily about huge power , for the most gratifying driving experiences you can have will be delivered in something that has an absolutely glorious sweet spot .

you already hold within you the superpower which is going to provide the fuel for your success .
your superpower is the strengths and abilities you already possess that make you feel most alive and excited .
“society’s relentless focus on people’s shortcomings has turned into a global obsession . what’s more , we have discovered that people have several times more potential for growth when they invest energy in developing their strengths instead of correcting their deficiencies . ” tom rath
we all have things that we do well , and things that we do less well .
the challenge is that , for most of our lives , we have been taught that we have to find ways to make up for our shortcomings . so we study to pass mathematics or english examinations at school , for example , when actually we are naturally athletic and love to study science and human biology .
the media presentation of a hero or icon is someone who has spent thousands of hours learning a new skill , so they can succeed in a particular sport or business . overcoming weaknesses , lack of natural ability or challenges is seen as something to be applauded and celebrated .
we have all heard the expression — “ you can be anything you want to be , if you just try hard enough ” .
would you go back to university for example , or spend more time travelling to research a topic you feel passionately about ? would you take yourself off on a writing retreat in a fabulous location for a month ? go wild ! you can go anywhere and do whatsoever you want .
give yourself permission to retune your energy and emotional power back to those things which truly delight you .
this could be soft skills such as empathy , listening and caring , as well as technical and business skills such as computer coding , proofreading , copyediting and interior design . if you enjoy volunteering in the community , what aspects are you drawn to ?
give yourself permission to ask those friends or family members who know you best what they feel are your special gifts .
if you have a spare hour to spend on your own each day , how would you spend that free time in total self - indulgence ? these are the tasks you would instinctively do because they energise and engage you and you love to spend time in that zone .
for example , not everyone can run marathons , bake bread , sew their own clothes , write short stories , research military tactics and create spreadsheets and slide decks .
your reply might include something you are proud of achieving in your life , from climbing mount everest to being a single parent to teenagers , or a skill you have developed over the years , such as oil painting , making silver jewellery or website coding .
when you carry out those tasks you feel comfortable and know that you are in control of the work .
give yourself permission to step up and reply with a list of skills and strengths that make you happy , which might have nothing to do with your academic qualifications .
give yourself permission to accept your strengths lie in a particular way of working .
question 7 . do you feel that you have any skills and abilities you have pushed to one side because of your other life choices ? think back to when you were 9 years old , then 15 . can you remember what you were obsessively interested in ? what did you love to do ?
give yourself permission to look back and recall a time in your life when you instinctively knew that you were good at something and enjoyed it and wanted to learn more .
now take a moment to read through your answers and spot any common themes that might emerge .
do you prefer longer research based projects such as extensive craft projects or writing non - fiction books , courses and educational materials , where you can learn intricate detail about your topic , or short projects you can complete in the fastest time possible .
now that you have recognised and honed in on your natural potential and passions there are bound to be areas of your ideal business project where you are not going to have the talent or skillset to excel .
it is all too easy to use this as an excuse to feed your negative self - talk and self - doubt .
instead , the strategic approach is to stay positive and recognise and accept that you are the best at every aspect of your project and you will have to take action to correct that deficit .
you don’t do anything and instead spend all of your energy on your strengths .
i know several fiction authors who want to focus on their superpowers , creating compelling fiction , and would rather eat their own feet than learn how to market and promote their work . they don’t have any social media or other kind of platform and refuse to do so . their work is sold and distributed by their publisher without any involvement from the author .
these authors recognise and accept that marketing their author branding is not an area they want to spend time on and have made the informed decision not to do so .
you use the pareto 80 / 20 principle and learn just enough about the gap in your knowledge to achieve an effective level of results which gets the job done .
this can be the best way to maximise your time so you can focus on your talent . the trade - off is that this aspect may not be perfect but it works .
i am not an expert but i can follow the video tutorials and instructions to achieve a website which works well and is easy to maintain .
other authors have learnt how to do facebook advertising and how to self - publish their work on the online publishing platforms using free online tutorials .
you delegate those skills and pay someone who is an expert to do the work for you .
which parts of your project you select to outsource to freelancers or experts will depend on the type of project you are working on , but the objective should always be to recoup your investment as quickly as possible .
for example . many authors who self - publish their work , including myself , pay for editors to review their manuscript and professional cover design for their book . these investments not only cut out months of the learning cycle but the quality of the final result will be better .
these are legitimate business expenses for services which will help your work to stand out from the crowd , and deliver a great experience for the reader .
“one thing to keep in mind… is that the most successful people don’t take on everything themselves . they focus on their strengths and delegate their weaknesses to specialists . some authors try to do too much themselves and end up shooting themselves in the foot because they end up with a weak link . ” derek doepker
productivity , put simply , is the name that we give our attempts to figure out the best uses of our energy , intellect , and time as we try to seize most meaningful rewards with the least wasted effort .
it is a process of learning how to succeed with less stress and struggle . it’s about getting things done without sacrificing everything we care about along the way .
productivity isn’t about working more or sweating harder . it’s not simply a product of spending longer hours at your desk or making bigger sacrifices .
rather , productivity is about making certain choices in certain ways . the way we choose to see ourselves and frame daily decisions ; the stories we tell ourselves , and the easy goals we ignore .
“the superheroes you have in mind ( idols , icons , titans , billionaire , etc . ) are nearly all walking flaws who’ve maximised one or two strengths . humans are imperfect creatures . you don’t succeed because you have no weaknesses ; you succeed because you find your unique strengths and focus on developing habits around them . ” tim ferriss .

young , gifted and on the way to top of the tv tree , david aaronovitch stumbled , and found himself in the foothills of the bbc scrapheap . would a management course set him back on the right track ?
and then , before reaching the stratosphere , my little stick faltered , lost momentum and began slowly to sink to earth . i ' ll spare you the institutional details . a mistake here , a bit of bad luck there , and approaching my 38th birthday i was to be found in a broom cupboard in the bbc ' s westminster hq at millbank doing a job that no one really wanted done . despite this , i couldn ' t get out of it . worse , my immediate boss didn ' t like me , and had convinced himself of my uselessness . word had spread .
so , there i sat , wreathed in the fug of 18 fags a day , alternately playing nobunaga ' s ambition on the office pc , and dealing with the endless bickering about rotas and foreign trips that diverted the bbc ' s troop of political correspondents from the simple truth that too many of them had too little to do . i was , for the first time in my life , depressed - and this depression was deepening . from unbearably arrogant i had swung dangerously towards embittered , and embitterment is usually a terminal condition .
naturally , i was horrible at home . partners and babies are less superficial adjuncts of the real business of a man ' s life than they once were . the black dog snarled and yapped at those who succoured it . you only really appreciate the scale of a personal crisis like this when it has passed . nevertheless i understood that something radical had to be done . i needed to regain control of my destiny somehow .
redemption . scene 1 . a nicotine - stained and fag - ash - strewn study somewhere in kentish town . a pathetic - looking man enters , slouching . he opens a drawer in a desk and takes something out . then , setting his weak jaw in a parody of determination , he grits his yellow teeth , and tears the object - which we now see to be a packet of silk cut extra longs - in two . it is not the first time that he has done this , the poor weak sap , but it turns out to be the last .
redemption . scene 2 . i am now to be found in the office of the deputy director general of the bbc , an extraordinary , wedge - shaped art nouveau place , set in one half of the second floor of the prow of broadcasting house . i have asked for this meeting to seek the ddg ' s advice on what i should do next , and he has agreed to meet me .
if he notices the wobble in my voice , the ddg does not acknowledge it . after having heard me out courteously , he gently prescribes his own patent medicine - a management training course . in his view , there is nothing wrong with most people that a good management training course cannot solve . he ' s been on several himself , and there are lots of different ones specially adapted for almost every situation . why don ' t i call the nice people at management training , and fix myself up ? at the very least it may help to clarify my goals . and - he doesn ' t say - if anyone ever needed their goals clarifying , it ' s me .
redemption . scene 3 . the ivy restaurant . this is where alan yentob ate back then , and may still do today . and my long - suffering partner had decided that the ivy was the place where we would celebrate my birthday . at 8pm we turned up between its posh portals and presented ourselves at the desk .
what name , madam ?
asked a suave , slim , dark young man with - i thought - a supercilious set to his thin mouth .
powell .
the young man screwed up his eyes and searched the short list in front of him .
i am afraid we do not have a powell ,
he announced .
but ,
my partner protested ,
you called me earlier today to confirm our reservation !
suave searched once more .
ah ,
he said triumphantly ,
but you then cancelled it . you see ? we have you down as having phoned in to cancel .
bewildered , my partner tried again .
look . i didn ' t call . why should i ? could you look again ?
heaving a big sigh , suave returned to his book .
yes ,
he said finally ,
i think i see the problem . some people called power had a reservation which they cancelled , and your name was crossed off instead . unfortunately all our tables inside are now taken , but i can offer you a table out here .
he pointed at a couple of forlorn , unlaid tables near the entrance .
it ' s the best we can do .
up till this moment i had never argued with anyone in a restaurant . i had never sent anything back , or queried a bill , or refused to pay service even for the most tardy and incompetent waitering . but , that night , this is what i said :
last week my partner made a reservation at this restaurant , and this afternoon it was confirmed . we have arrived here to discover that you have - in error - cancelled our table . at first you tried to suggest that it was she who had made a preposterous mistake . only when she insisted , did you check , and discover that it was you who had been at fault . but even then you did not apologise . far from it . instead you offer us a windswept exile in the siberia of your entrance hall , and you do it as though we should be grateful . but we are not grateful . i very much doubt whether you would treat alan yentob in this way . good night .
we swept out . and i hadn ' t felt so good for years . the ivy ' s loss became the spaghetti house ' s gain .
aftermath . i haven ' t tasted a cigarette for five - and - a - half years , and my lungs feel as if they have functioning alveoli again . i have never returned to the ivy restaurant , but - should its owners read this - i am prepared to forgive over a free meal and a complimentary bottle of champagne . there will be five of us at table . it ' s the least i can do for sarah and the children .
and i went on the training course that november . it was entitled
the effective senior manager
and was held over three days at a country house in surrey . four of us , from different organisations , made up a little group in which we discussed our past careers , our high points and low troughs , and talked about our strategies for the future - all interspersed by peculiar topological diagrams on overhead projectors .
as was the plan , this group met again four times in the next year to evaluate its progress , and to offer advice and support to each of its members . there was decent angus , a former wing commander , now bursar of an oxbridge college ; jim , a mercurial , brilliant and irritating engineer from british rail , and doug , production manager at a midlands factory making plastic packaging .
at our second meeting one thing became terribly clear to me . we were all failures . angus was - though he didn ' t know it - loathed by the old - boy city interests who dominated the college financially . jim was a hopeless manager . doug , you just knew , would be sacked within the year . he was too conservative to adapt to developments in packaging .
but it was stolid doug who suggested that i was trying to climb the wrong greasy pole .
you like talking and performing , you do ,
he told me .
perhaps you should try that for a living instead .
so i did .
