Rob and Joan Carter’s MEET THE AUTHOR interview Snippet 7 – That Th!nk You Do

I mentioned Rob and John Carter and I chatting on their MEET THE AUTHOR show in previous blog posts.

This is post #7 in a series of thirteen snippets taken from the full interview video. You can also listen to the interview via podcast

Today’s snippet deals with my most recent non-fiction title, That Th!nk You Do. You can probably find it under self-help, personal growth, personal transformation, how to make vanilla icecream, and…

Okay, maybe not that last one (I’m saving it for Volume 2)

 
Enjoy!

What can I say? A book that will draw you in and make you think.
To me, that is ideal.
Raw writing is the best. Writing that makes one pause….writing that makes you tilt your head and question. The best!!!

Thank you, Zina-Vivianne!

Joseph’s masterpiece connects science, data, and research with the practicality (and yes complexity) with our everyday lives and how we can begin to better understand what makes us tick (as opposed to being a ticking time bomb!) And all of this is delivered with a strategically delivered sense of humour!

 

I’m feeling challenged to put into words what That Th!nk You Do offered to my soul.
I did begin with this comment initially, so I’ll start here.
“Altruistic – written with a blend of personal stories, researched facts and a delightful mix of paradoxical phrases.”
The appeal for me personally was how the well laid out information flowed. Each piece masterfully woven with the piece before and the piece after. It catered to my insatiable curiosity on how the mind works and why it works the way it works.
I savoured the “time slice” piece – paying attention to how the brain optimally works. How to successfully serial task (new to me) and give myself permission to prioritize tasks as I see fit and being ok with not overfocusing (and then losing focus.) I no longer see it necessary to finish one thing before going on to another and understanding I can still be productive (and more so.) I allow myself to listen to my energy level and what needs to be prioritized, when and why.
Joseph’s explanation of psychoacoustics and archeopsychology were fascinating and to learn the “why” they are beneficial were even more so. As he states “every strength is a weakness and every weakness a strength” offers much to self reflect upon.
The chapter on “compensation guilt” strongly resonated with me and again, gave me cause to self reflect. (I didn’t realize compensation guilt was a thing.)
Joseph’s masterpiece connects science, data, and research with the practicality (and yes complexity) with our everyday lives and how we can begin to better understand what makes us tick (as opposed to being a ticking time bomb!) And all of this is delivered with a strategically delivered sense of humour!
I feel joyfully challenged by Joseph’s masterful subtleness to look deeper with clarity at my own habits and am grateful he has provided tools to support the process.
The “principles” at the end are a great compliment to a very practical, provocative, and sometimes edgy work of art. My favorite (or one of my favorites) – “Technology Is not how we make and keep relationships. We make and keep relationships because of who we are, not what tools we use to keep in touch.” To me, that is a game changer.

In summary – A multifaceted and all-encompassing masterpiece for humanity. Thank you, Joseph Carrabis, for the contribution to the betterment of all humankind!

Thank you, Gail!

…poignant and often profound observations of how we can better do what we do…

 

Joseph’s vast experiential wisdom and quick wit comes through in this display of poignant and often profound observations of how we can better do what we do from keen insight and understanding of his own process and success. Few can express and imbue our lives with such eloquent and often humorous deep dives into being a leader of your own business, life and relationships, let alone all the dynamics that entails. His short snippets of a reality, which few of us experience in such depth, is invigorating to read and ponder significance in my own life, as it will yours, too. The breadth of his topic material spans emotional, intellectual and even spiritual understanding we often don’t consider, let alone embrace and engage in our lives and work. The chapter pieces are quick reads. I highly recommend it for engaging those moments between That Think You Do, too. Enjoy!

Thank you, Zen!

I sipped at “That Think You Do “ by Joseph Carrabis. Change, choice, connection, and conversation (inner and outer) make for a hearty brew. Hooked by the exacting sensory images; neuroscience and wit added spice. I stopped often to digest the richness of resonant principles he weaves throughout.

Thank you, Susan!
