Go Zen With the Markets

Posted on by Michael Covel

A little Zen can go a long way in the markets:

You. Right. Again. http://blogs.hbr.org/2014/01/a-little-meditating-helps-you-make-better-business-decisions/

Gary

Thanks. Excerpt from the research:

Research participants who had spent just 15 minutes in “mindfulness” meditation, focusing on their breathing, were 77% more likely than others to resist what’s known as the “sunk-cost bias,” the tendency to stick with a less-than-optimal strategy merely because a lot of money has been sunk into it, says a team led by Andrew C. Hafenbrack of Insead business school in France. In a fictional scenario, the participants had to decide whether to buy a highly efficient $10,000 machine shortly after spending $200,000 on equipment that was much less efficient (and couldn’t be sold). Meditation’s impact on the sunk-cost bias may have to do with its ability to improve mood and decrease people’s focus on the future and past, the researchers suggest.

My guest today is Robert Greene, the bestselling author of the classic book, “The 48 Laws of Power”, in addition to other bestsellers such as “The Art of Seduction”, “The 33 Strategies of War”, and “The 50th Law” with musician and entrepreneur, 50 Cent.

Lao Tzu: A Wise Trend Follower

Posted on by Michael Covel

Lao Tzu was wise:

“A good traveler has no fixed plan, and is not intent on arriving.”

“If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled.”

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”

“People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure.”

“Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.”

“If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.”

“The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.”

“When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.”
