[YouTube Video] Interview with (Relationship Expert) Paul Brunson - Diary of a CEO
Was an interesting listen overall on how people think about relationships, where society is headed, and how to have a healthy relationship.
My biggest takeaways were:
The Most Important Qualities to Look for in a Relationship [1:39:40]
First off, being happy with yourself is the most important factor in a relationship you which you will be satisfied with [21:20]. You should be flourishing on your own before jumping into a relationship. (more on this below)
However, there are 5 criteria that are most important to focus on in a partner. They are:
Emotional Fitness - said person is emotionally stable and emotionally intelligent; Their consistent in how they are with you no matter how your or they are feeling.
Courageous Vision - said person is on the path to something; they have a drive to get up in the morning
Resiliently Resourceful - said person can bounce back when they get knocked down
Open Minded - said person is curious about you and the world
Compassionate Support - Someone who will be there for you whenever you got knocked down
It’s also important to note that your potential partner doesn’t necessarily need to test highly on all of these but they do need to be on the path too. This also doesn’t remove the need for things like physical attractiveness, relationship goals, ability to resolve conflict etc. but these 5 characteristics should be a strong guiding force in how one determines who they should date.
Four Horsemen of Death in Relationships - John Gottman
John Gottman is an American psychologist, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Washington. His work focuses on divorce prediction and marital stability through relationship analyses analyzed relationship and broke down how couples interacted and based on how they interacted was indicative of how they ended up together. He’s most well known for the Four Horsemen of Death in Relationships. They are the symptoms that a relationship is getting close to breaking. They are:
Criticism
Defensiveness
Stonewalling
Contempt
These behaviors are often the start of relationships falling apart and if they’re not addressed, they can reinforce each other. Contempt, however, is biggest risk to any relationship (99% likelihood of relationship falling apart according to Paul Brunson). It’s essentially if one partner feels that the other person isn’t even on their level. It’s a sense of frustration and superiority that’s incredibly hard to break down.
6 Dimensions of Psychological Well-Being
Consolidated from the research of Carol Ryff, the 6 dimenions of psychological well-being are the 6 common elements she found among theorists on how to flourish.
I paraphrased the definitions from this source as follows:
Self-Acceptance - Understanding and accepting both your strengths and flaws, your past and your present
Positive Relations - having a strong and close community and feeling connected to them
Autonomy - Feeling capable of exerting your own independence and freedom from conformity
Environmental mastery - Having the resources and capacity to cope with problems and deal with stress and problems effectively
Personal growth - changing in a positive direction, understanding more about yourself and the world, and overall becoming more and more of the person you want to be
Sense of Purpose - you feel your life has meaning and is making a difference in the world
If you’re working towards succeeding in all those dimensions, you’ll be able to self-actualize. Doing this is incredibly helpful for you, be it in a relationship or not.
[YouTube Video] Interview with Casey Neistat - Diary of a CEO
If you joined Casey in his daily vlog days or are just interested to hear about the rise of one of YouTube’s most successful creators, this interview is a treat for you.
Honestly this was just a fun ride to listen to. From his background as this kid working in the back of a restaurant trying to make ends meet to moving and deciding to stay in NYC after his apartment was basically destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attack, it really gives you a sense of how hard Casey had to work to get where he is today.
It’s also interesting to hear how when you’re young and have nothing, it feels easier to take a risk. He ended up doing so much and it was worth it for him. Now though it’s hard for him to take a risk: he has kids, a house, so much less need to go pushing like crazy. It’s nice to hear he’s taking a bit of a break but also interesting to hear how he knows he’s working towards finding the next big project.
Thanks again folks,
Frank
