Introduction
Welcome to the OptimalScience Wiki!
Topic Overview
Our approach focuses on three "problems" — anxiety, distraction, and self-concepts — and three corresponding "solutions" — ideals, work, and service. Each problem-solution pair relates to a part of the brain: anxiety and ideals relate to the amygdala versus the appraisal cortex; distraction and work relate to task attention and default attention; and self-concepts and service relate to the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
Resolving the problem, and striving for the solution involves applying the three parts of the soul — intellect, memory, and will — in a particular way.
- To go from anxiety to ideals, we do reframing (intellect), mindfulness (memory), and challenge (will).
- To go from distractions to work, we do order (intellect), intensity (memory), and constancy (will).
- To go from self-concepts to service, we do sincerity (intellect), humility (memory), and generosity (will).
