Optimize With Brian Johnson | More Wisdom In Less Time

Gandhi’s Great Soul (+ Yours!)   In our last +1, we talked about the fact that YOU are my all-time favorite hero. (It’s true.)   We also talked about the fact that, although every hero expresses it in different ways, EVERY (!) hero has the SAME superpower.    We named it… SOUL FORCE   Today I want to share a quick origin story on where I came up with that phrase.   But, first…   In case you’re wondering if you qualify to even aspire to be a “hero,” I have another question for you…   Do you happen to know what the word hero means?    As you may have heard me say before (and I promise I’ll say it again!)… It’s an ancient Greek word. Etymologically, the word hero doesn’t mean “killer of bad guys” or “tough guy” or anything like that it. It means “PROTECTOR."    A hero has strength for two. And, very importantly, a hero is willing to do the HARD work to HAVE that strength for two.    And, do you know what the secret weapon of the ancient hero was? LOVE.    It’s LOVE that fuels o

Here’s Their (and YOUR!) Superpower   In our last +1, we re-activated our +1 series and I made a 10,000-day commitment to you.    Well, technically I made a 10,319-day commitment to you.   Every day, from now until January 1, 2051, I commit to showing up in your inbox with a quick little splash of more wisdom in less time. If I don’t show up, assume either our technology died or I died. (Hah. Seriously.) (I’m all in.)   Why have I made that commitment?    That’s a very good question. With a range of possible answers.    One of the reasons can be found on one of the tattoos on my left forearm.    If you look closely above the “I” and the “C” in my “HEROIC” tattoo, you’ll see “51 | 2051.” Then, if you look closely below the “I” and the “C” in my “HEROIC” tattoo, you’ll see “101 | 1M.”   The 51 | 2051 represents my commitment to helping create a world in which 51% of humanity is flourishing by the year 2051. The 101 | 1M represents HOW we will do that.   The 101 is shortha

It’s +1 Day 1 Again. And Always!   Hi, This is Brian.    Welcome back to another +1.    This is +1 number 1,289.    And…   As you know if you’ve been following along, the last time I did a +1 was nearly two years ago—717 days ago to be precise. I took a little break to launch Heroic. I’m THRILLED to be back.    We used to call these little micro lessons “Optimize +1s.”   Going forward, we’re going to call them “Heroic +1s.”   When I first created the +1 series years ago (2005 days ago to be precise!), I committed to doing 1,000 days in a row. I wound up doing 1,288.    This time, I’m committing to doing over 10,000 (!!!) days in a row.    10,319 days in a row to be precise.    At which point I may consider taking a day off.    So…   If a new +1 doesn’t show up in your inbox, assume that either our technology died or… I died. (Hah!)   Seriously.    I’m ALL IN.    Why 10,319 days?   Because that’s how many days are left between now and January 1, 2051–the date by which we aspi
