How to Prepare for Life quakes and Other events Many of us have grown up with a misconception about how life is “supposed to go” - but where does that idea come from, how did people think about life before that better prepared them for major setbacks, and what can we do to better prepare ourselves now for the inevitable pain and suffering we will deal with in our lives? Bruce Feiler discusses the myth of linear success. Lifequakes are inevitable and we need to be prepared for them. Life is filled with shake ups and quakes, are you prepared? Brice helps us ajust our mindsets so that we may deal with our lifequakes #lifequakes #brucefeiler #artofcharm Bruce is the author of seven New York Times bestsellers, the presenter of two prime-time series on PBS, What is a life quake, how often do they occur in our lives, and how can we prepare for them? Why do many of us have the misconception that life should follow a linear path, how does that prevent us from handling what life throws at us, and what can we do to change our mindset so the stress doesn’t kill us? How should we construct our identity when life will always throw unexpected, stressful, and potentially traumatic events at us that set us back from the linear life path we expect? What can we do when the story we tell ourselves about life is “supposed to be about” is disrupted by unexpected events so we are not crushed by those events? Why does it feel like we are dealing with more and more major life events than generations in the past had to deal with and how can we adapt to so many potential setbacks in life? We have been led to believe life is supposed to follow a linear path. Many of us think as long as we keep a stable job and work for a good company, our wealth and our lives will keep improving over time. Unfortunately, that is not how life works. Everything in this universe is cyclical. Life is born and then life dies so more life can take its place. To get stronger, you must apply stress to your body and then let it rest. To navigate all of life’s obstacles, you must push forward, tackle one, and then take a moment to collect yourself before pushing forward to tackle the next one, and some of those obstacles can knock you down and keep you down longer than you “want to be.” Do you want to turn small talk into smart talk?  Get Accelerated  ?https://bit.ly/comacceler Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://bit.ly/taocsubscribe Subscribe to The Art of Charm Podcast in iTunes: http://bit.ly/166Lw3U Official Website: https://theartofcharm.com/ Join The Art of Charm Challenge: http://www.theartofcharm.com/challenge/ Follow us on: -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheArtofCharm/ -Twitter: https://twitter.com/theartofcharm -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theartofcharm/ -LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/TheArtofCharm Top 5 Guest Interviews of All Time Kobe Bryant on Mamba Mentality https://youtu.be/OOoURnvTRu4 Jay Shetty on Overcoming Self Doubt https://youtu.be/OOoURnvTRu4 Eric Weinstein on Overcoming Bias https://youtu.be/dQhOgwu2eZc David Goggins on Building Mental Toughness https://youtu.be/ueNtejxVY24 Charles Duhigg on Developing Success Habits https://youtu.be/qjydQpvXczo Top 5 Social Skills Toolbox Episodes Art of First Impressions https://youtu.be/ioQrinlWzR8 How To Talk To Strangers https://youtu.be/y7FrWZCwi9A Leaving Toxic Relationships https://youtu.be/GiogVWmQ9Oc The Art of Compelling Conversations https://youtu.be/JlHa0naefb8 Charismatic Body Language Tips https://youtu.be/_F99kE-OdMc Top Videos to Sharpen Your Social Skills How To Talk To Anyone 5 Tips https://youtu.be/Oq-IvIxbHSE Never Run Out of Things to Say (3 Tricks) https://youtu.be/4H_WsG-1B0U How to Know if You Made the RIGHT Decision https://youtu.be/M95fX7gNm9I 5 Social Skills Mistakes Logical People Make https://youtu.be/3OSiVa6qldk Recognizing Emotional Bids (Instantly Connect With Anyone) https://youtu.be/kNyy7ar2g0k We all experience life quakes and other events.
