Really enjoyed this Tedx. Recently gave up tobacco, porn, junk food, and hot showers to become more disciplined and now my long term goals seem more attainable than ever. I feel like a good person in the present, not just the future. Thanks for the talk.
congrats!!!
Yo Champ, how's it goin'?
why would you give up hot showers?
HOW
Wowowwowow AMAZING!
This is GENIUS. Thank you Sir. And can I say to anyone reading this comment that this is one of the most productive ways I have spent any 15 minutes of my 50 year old life.
"In the future we are wonderful people" Great saying
Worth watching, mostly different way of talking and so sharp on points and deep in thoughts... Great talk Dan
"It's connected to your bank account, and to a charity you hate." Glorious^^
Chillermushroom then you just turn off the alarm and go back to sleep lol
@@costanzauk Each 10 minutes snooze $10
GENIUS talk, i presonally think this is the only way to achieve flawless discipline
Wow. For me, this has been the best TED talk I've heard so far. I am very inspired to try his ideas and would love to hear him speak again.
my favorite TED talk for sure
I can still be the dick I was, but I'm just a little bit nicer now. :D
One of the most impressive ted talks I've seen in a while.
I have found this talk extremely inspirational! Thank you!
Brilliant man and he has made me think about self control a lot ,
Thank you
Yes. Thinking and above all, being present in the moment is the first step.
Hiii after 5 years !
Hi after 8 yrs
Excellent talk! I always enjoy his presentations. He is also such an inspiration because he has been through so much!
If he can make it through with such a great attitude, we all can.
Specific, to the point, easy to understand yet having a great idea!
Thank you so much and hopefully your health is a lot better now..Thanks for sharing!!
He is an awesome speaker. Very useful talk.
Here we have the key to success, the key to happiness!!!
I want to delve into this speech. I have to raise my children to be able to achieve their long-term goals.
Witty, insightful, and informative. Thanks for sharing!
The message/idea is not really new, but the presentation is brilliant and that really makes a difference. Cute guy with hilarious sense of humor :)
Can you expand why is it not new? Other authors or texts or talks? Thanks
He's always a captivating speaker and I enjoy, of course, the subject matter of this presentation.
Thank you so much for this talk! I relate for sure. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing, love to rewatch this.
i really needed this video...
thank you so much Dan Ariely Bro...
Very insightful...really wrapped my brain around things this morning. :) thanks for the ideas Dan!
Really thankful for this! Thank you
"you are your worst enemy"
Excellent presentation! Thank you
Great presentation and a fantastic speaker. I really enjoyed that!
Great presentation, Dan Ariely!
Very interesting speech! I love it!
Very logical, and funny. Thank you for laying it out so well. :-) My dilemma is an unhealthy, if not toxic relationship of 18 months. I kept feeling like I wasn't going to be happy in the long run for lots of good reasons. But something always stopped me from leaving, love and the stupidity that comes with it. Now it has recently " ended" from both sides because we have crazy sadistic fights where we're at it to hurt each other and make each other feel worthless to "win" and it hasn't changed. We both want to work on that but feel like we would progress better ( as in in terms of self control) if we weren't around each other to complicate things but it is hard to not just fall back into each other's arms even though we know that those horrible fights would most likely be inevitable then.
I watched it today. It is most important to maintain our self control and make it a habit. It is an energy which we loose every movement. With lunch time approaching we loose control and focus on what we are doing and start waiting 1 hr before the time. When time comes we are so eager to full fill our desire and hunger we eat what is available instead of choosing the healthy food. Self control comes with practice and planning and keeping the goal in mind. Otherwise we loose control 10 times a day more during later part of the day.
I love watching his wonderful talks :)
One of the best Ted Talks in my opinion! My much better than the guy who has the highest number of views on Ted channel!
I absolutely love this speaker!
Awesome talk. I'm gonna have to try some of those tricks, because my self control has gone to crap these days.
Very good ted talk. I will improve from today and will be unstoppable in the long term
I love this man... Bravo!
Very simple and very nice! Lovely
He's such an amazing person!
A very interesting person and wonderful presentation on the subject that we ALL suffer with. Its given me the tools to overcome my temptations. Now I know that I must put a strict, non-tolerant penalty on my temptations.
Great... the way u start... ur confidence... and ofcoz self control technique...☺
Although a "red button" is a good solution for many people, I think it's more about state of mind and motivation than short-term incentives. Discipline is not easy, but it is definitely rewarding. From a purely rational perspective, we might even argue that time inconsistent behaviour may indicate that the subject doesn't truly care about the long term, and they only say they do to make themselves feel better.
Very good! Thank you for the tips! I will take them with me in my fight to become more self controlled! :)
Excellent video! Thanks for this
Very Helpful. Thank You.
That second alarm clock would work on me.
But more importantly, the games we can play to force us to be forward thinkers are brilliant.
brilliant, funny, profound! "Must see" video about the "human condition".
Very good talk. I liked it very much.
This is brilliant and a captivating presentation
Very!!!
very informative and thought-provoking
This is so awesome !!!
This is key to Games that want to hook their players.
... (because in the future we are wonderful people) brilliant!
Ya, this guy is incredibly funny!! Really fun to listen to and watch!!!
one of the best ive ever read about
Great stuff here.
Brilliant! I learned a lot
Wow this is so much more practical then anything else ive seen on ted :-) it inspires me a lot :-) :-) thank you :-)
profound and so true!
I can certainly relate to it. During my board exam, I could not control going over facebook every so often, I gave my username and password to my wife, asked her to change the password, and also change the reset email address to her email address, and I did not go on facebook for almost 3 months, which would not be possible for may 3 days if I had choice! Now I have access, but my craving to goto facebook is reduced that I hardly go! but I am afraid again to regularly start going back to it~
What a great speaker!
Brilliant guy...very informative and valuable.
and funny!!!
I've been looking for this
sometimes going to a library and seeing other people working and motivated, ends up motivating me. Also eventually the library closes so you have to get a certain amount of work done. Set alarms every hour or so to track your progress if youre at home.
very insightful video! Thanks :) I have learned a lot
Very insightful look at how the human mind actually works. I also just realized that Dr. Ariely basically described the reason religions exist.
Good talk, but the Ulysses method is absolutely ineffective. In my humble opinion, positive reinforcement is way better than brute forcing your way out of bad habits. And when it comes to addiction... forget it! Nevertheless, his first anecdote reflected a good approach. Connecting unpleasant experiences with good sensations is much more adequate from the neurological point of view. "Fire together, wire together"... remember?
This is great!!!
as to alarm clocks...when i needed to force myself to get up early, I'd change the time on my clock, for something like 9 or 13 or 17 minutes fast, and set the alarm to 6:02...this way when it went off, by trying to figure out what time it really was, was enough time to wake my sorry ass up! Also helped to put the clock on the other side of the room & keep anything i could use as weapons against that annoying clock far from my reach!
I don't care about likes (given to a video ...) but this is one of the few that deserves it !!
I like that presentation.
2019 and thans for sharing!
awesome surprisingly!!
This was huge!!!
Great speaker!
I need to control how much I watch Ted talk :)
I really like Dan. He seems like a really nice person.
Funny, interesting,helpful. Watch again. Share. Oh! Yes...
Wow! Thanks!!
Great!, Thank you!
Super Talk!
Excellent!
That was one of the better ones!
Poor guy got a bad blood transfusion. Great talk he is a great speaker and teacher =)
Brilliant!!!
I will watch it later
He is so right. We need to create something to stop temptation. Kitchen Safe, I swear. It is everything he is talking about.
GOD THIS VIDEO IS WONDERFUL.
Great Video!
He is awsome!!
this is such an amazing video
THIS IS SOOO GOOOD!
Very nice!
Interesting study with the rats and pigeons: reminds me of Conditioning.
Now that I am watching the TED talk in a loop to understand Dan better, just curious, has the study taken "color psychology" for rats and pigeons into account? I'm not sure whether certain colors affect them in a certain way but if it affects humans, why not them?
Ha, ha, I was thinking exactly the same.. Will try to watch The Science Of Willpower, as the last one. Hopefully that brings me back to my things. :)
Dan's the Man
One challenge for reward substitution is thinking of rewards for aversive tasks that require sustained attention. Side effects for medicine are terrible, but they're something that have to be passively endured rather than actively focused on. Work is less aversive, but to do it right you have to pay attention. So what kind of reward can you give yourself to focus on work?
The mechanism is still the same; find something that will make the sustained effort totally worth it. A personal example: in the midst of battling procrastination, I unexpectedly suffered a health crisis that reduced my ability to be productive by about 90% for more than 3 weeks. It was horrible. I'd never been immobilized before; imagine not being able to do anything but lay in bed and deal with pain day in and day out. It put a WHOLE new perspective on my previous struggle with procrastination. Now, when I am faced with temptation to make a short-sighted choice, I quickly remember that life could dramatically change at any second and forever erase the opportunity or ability to do what we SHOULD. Hope this helps.
culd keep d reward for a later tym based on if u finish ur wrk...(sum1 myt av to keep u accountable...so dat u dunt reward urself even wen u didnt finish.
culd also do sumtin dat does not really distract...like play sootin music..dip ur legs in warm water...mayeb if d wrk is reading go to diff beautiful comfortable locatns(if u luv nature)
+Godgirl What is wrong with you?
