a. How do you like the book so far? Why?
b. What is a passage that was impacting? Why?
c. What is something you find challenging in reading this book?
d. Provide a passage as evidence to one of the domains and explain.
d. Reply to at least five members in the group

(a)My book, "burnout," so far is entertaining and relatable, because the authors use exaggerated/comical scenarios to empathize one's stressors/stress. The way they've written it is realistic and it surprises me how I've seen and related to these moments.

(b)A passage that was impacting was on pages 12-13, when the text was describing "the feels," they used an analogy of a lion and deer. They described it as "[...]the lion feeling smug wanders off to get her cubs so they can feed on the gazelle[...]" but the gazelle was playing dead because of a body response called, "freeze." Before this, I was confused, and at that moments I felt, "OOOH," and it made me realize that because of how the gazelle reacted didn't mean death for them.

(c)So far, I found vocab to be extremely difficult throughout the text, I'm not the most educated on words, but my book says to take your failures as opportunities, so-- I will take this as a chance to expand my brain to new reaches with large words such as, "heterogeneous," and, "competence."

(d)A self-awareness connection that slapped me in the face was on page 24, when the text states, "[...]When your brain gets stuck, it may start stuttering or repeating itself[...]." My brain literally ceases to function and I start tripping up over my words or-- JUST NOW ACTUALLY, I was handing my friend her computer and I kept edging it back and fourth because my brain kept asking itself, "is this her computer???" I found that to be sadly entertaining and it struck too close to my self-awareness domain, which I didn't realize I did.

a. The book works and doesn't work for me. Some of it relates to me, like support my well-being, and support others, with a limit. Others I'm already doing, like no cell phone in my room, and no social media before school. Other stuff doesn't work for me, like 4:7:8 and having enough time. Those topics didn't really click, for me, so the book seems like a 50-50.

b. A passage that was impacting was "playing overwhelmed poker" when people compete and argue over who has the busiest schedule, the most work to do, the least downtime. I see that everyday, and sometimes I play it.

c.A challenging part of reading this book is she constantly talks about her life and how it works for her in an almost spiritual way. I prefer to look into the science of things and how it works, not imagining it as a spiritual object, so it is kind of hard to get into the book if one of the topics doesn't relate to me, and she regards it spiritually.

d. The passage "Doing, watching, or listening to the same things every day makes time feel like it's slipping right through your fingers. On the other hand, the hours you spend learning and enjoying great culture will enrich your days and enliven your nights. Give yourself some new memories." (pg. 37) This relates to self-management because you can do the same things every day, or you can manage your time to do new things and widen your mind. Doing new things can change your life.

I like this book so far it makes me think of myself a lot. This passage is impacting a lot on the way i think about myself and how i see other people. Especially when i think of seeing whats in plan sight. I find that I tend to wanna annotate to much which causes a conflict with time. On page three the author says, "...the obvious not to see what no one has scene, but, to see whats in plain sight." This makes me think alot of myself because I tend to try to like at the finer detail instead of looking at the surface detail first.

I feel this, especially what you've wrote in part d. My mind constantly repeats itself, I'll walk in a room wondering why I went there, wander off, and then end up back in the same room, confused. I'll also take out a binder I need, put it back, take it back out like 5 times, and then forget why I needed it in the first place.

A. I am really enjoying my book, I like how relatable my author made the context in a not boring way. She incorporates jokes and slang allowing the book to not be so stiff.
B. ''...you harness your innate power to create the reality you desire.'' This passage was extremely impact full to me because only you can decide to put your dreams and goals into action to make them reality. Personally i have trouble having the confidence and determination to even try to make my goals turn to reality.
C. Something that I find challenging about reading this book is how is the life experience I have. I'm only 14 years old verse a grown women so some things i haven't experienced quite yet in my life time.
D. ''They aren't connected to your insecurities and negative beliefs about yourself.'' Self awareness i feel is represented in this passage , as knowing your own insecurities and being able to look at your self from a different prospective.

A. My book is interesting so far because i get to see my authors thinking on certain situations and compare and contrast my thinking and make connections.
B. I highlighted that compassion practice involves learning to relax and allow ourselves to move gently toward what scares us and it caught my attention because I view compassion differently.
C. I find that when she tells her life experiences its hard for me to connect sometimes because she is a adult.
D. ..."more strongly connected we are with someone emotionally, the greater the mutual force" applies to relationship management and how our relationships work.

a. I like my book a lot, it really makes you look at what you thought was random and understand that there is a thought behind the madness.
b. " Because when he first laid eyes on it, he said, he felt a wave of 'intuitive repulsion.'"On page 6 there was a part that was talking about the fake kouros how one of the people that was trying to figure out whether or not it was fake. It says he felt a "...wave of 'intuitive repulsion'..." I could relate to that because of how whenever something feels off I have a repulsion towards it.
c. How he didn't check with these people before hand, in the introduction the Gettiy had so many people check if the kouros was real beforehand and they didn't find out if it was fake until after.
d. "He took one look at the kouros and blanched. 'Anyone who has ever seen a sculpture coming out of the ground,' he said to her, 'could tell that that thing has never been in the ground.'" He is self aware that he has spent time out in the field pulling things out of the ground and knows that if you have spent time like he has could tell you it was fake.

A. so far I think the book relates to me. I highly recommend it if you are trying to get some tips to be stress free. I do have a little problem with some of the things said because it simply hasn't happened to me yet.

B. I liked when Allen was talking about triggers that could make you become more off task. I think it was impactful because the majority of the things he said I did too.

C. What I find challenging is breaking down some of the tips he dishes out to his readers since I am a part of the younger crowd.

D. In chapter two of page thirty-nine, he says " Delegate it. If the action will take longer than two minutes, ask yourself, Am I the right person tp do this?". I said in response that "I never thought of it this way, but as a student this doesn't really apply to me considering that I don't have a choice to not do a task that is asked of me, unless I wants a bad grade." I found this section as the self-awareness of the EI Domains.

a-I like this book because it describes a lot of things that I do so I can relate to it.
b-A passage that was impacting was when she talked about how nervous she got after publicly speaking to parents at a school. It talked about how we react to certain situations and we need to know our triggers or symptoms before something could happen.
c-One thing I find challenging is that she is much older than me and talks about some things that I won't experience for a while because I am still young.
d-"The second I walked into the school auditorium, I felt this really strange vibe from the parents in the audience. They almost felt agitated." I thought this was social awareness because she was taking note of peoples body language and she was aware of their behaviors. She could sense something was off, meaning she was aware of her social surroundings.

a. So far, the book is interesting it doesn't really go into the winning friends portion but it does say some pretty deep quotes in which assist with the influencing portion.
b. A passage that was impacting was on page 6 there was a quote that said "By criticizing, we do not make lasting changes and often incur resentment." Its very impacting because its true for lots of people including me, it just makes us angry but then we just forget about it and disregard the idea eventually.
c. Something I find challenging in reading this book is some of the vocabulary i have spotted such as "Chivalrous" which i have no idea what it means except for some background knowledge of chivalry.
d. ("By criticizing, we do not make lasting changes and often incur resentment. Hans Selye, another great psychologist, said "As much as we thirst for approval, we dread condemnation. "The resentment that criticism engenders can demoralize employees, family members and friends, and still not correct the situation that has been condemned.") I feel like this shows evidence towards the self-awareness domain because its being aware about the fact that I, do and we do dread condemnation, we don't want this but it happens and we are aware of it, it could fall under self-motivation as well with condemnation being a fear that drives you.

a. I think the more I read the book the more I will like it. Right now the book is off to a slow start with little interesting pieces.
b. Chapter 3 was the most impactful because it told me one of the things that I really wanted to learn and know about. It told me how habits can be change and how when you keep the cue and reward and change the routine it allows you to develop new and better habits.
c. I find it hard to connect the book with other domains the only domains I am able to connect is self-awareness and self-management.
d. In the text Schultz was talking about food saying, its hard to fight this urge...as soon as I eat it, I feel this rush of pleasure". I connected that to showing no self-management.

a) I like my book so far. Its very relatable and I see my actions displayed throughout the pages. It talks about self doubt, how it affects your life and if you're willing to make changes in your life.

b) "...if you're willing to generate that state of willingness, that's your doorway to making the effort taking the steps, and creating the progress and change in you're life that you're seeking." To get what you want you have to be willing to do the things that are required to achieve your goal. If im not willing to do the work to get what I "want" then I don't really want it.

c) Something challenging is figuring out how this book relates to other people instead of just me. Most people hide their emotions and I only have a few examples that show how the people I know relate to the books topics.

d)"When you start to view the world through the lens of what your willing and unwilling to pursue, rather than what it seems you want and don't want, things start to become a lot clearer.Instead of wasting time worrying about the things other people have, you'll start focusing on what's really important to you and your life." This shows self awareness because it's explaining that when you know exactly what you want in life and you are willing to do everything in your power to achieve your goal then you won't feel bad for yourself when you see people with things you want because you're working hard to accomplish that.

A. How I like the book so far is that its ok. The reason is that the book is constantly talking about different things for instance it was talking about Theodore Roosevelt then Abraham Lincoln and other people. But some parts of the book seem interesting to me when the talk about these people and how it relates to the theme of the book.
B. A passage that was impacting was "...human nature in action, wrongdoers, blaming everybody but themselves. We are all like that." This is impacting because this evidence relates to our society because when people don't want to talk fault of something that happen they blame someone else because their scared to take the consequences over their action. So by blaming someone it gives the a better chance of not getting in trouble.
C. Something I find challenging about the book is trying to understand why the author is talking about certain things that have to do with the book.
D." Lincoln didn't want to fight. He opposed to dueling but he couldn't get out of it and save his honor." This evidence shows self awareness because Lincoln was a wear he didn't what to do something but he had to he had no choice. Its relates to my life because I sometimes don't want to do something ,but I have to because it my responsibility.

a. The book is good and hits the nail on the head with a lot of basic principles you need to "accomplish" before managing yourself (such as double standards, respect and inserting the veiw that you can change). it already is making me question how i do things- whichis good.
b) "valuing yourself is different from liking yourself. We may respect, and even admire, someone whom we do not like...underrating yourself just because you are you and not somebody else. If you were somebody else examining you as you are now, would you think differently?" a lot of the time I neglect basic "healthy" things because I dont deserve them. Although my thinking on that hasnt changed- i do aknowledge its a double standard (another thing addressed in the paragraph). Even a horrible person deserves basic things like food and sleep- there is no compromise. That is one of the major things that helps because it cant be argued or reasoned against.
c) Thinking about my self/ not just connecting to others i see with the issues.
d)

A. I like my book a lot. I can relate to the author through what his interests are, and I can see some personality traits that are common between us, and this interaction helps me get engaged to the book and the material more than I normally would be.

B. A passage that was impacting for me was in page 30 of the book, where Tim Tebow, the author, says, "...I had to make a choice between plating baseball or football. And like I said earlier, it was a painful choice." This was very impacting to me because I once had to make that choice, and I made the same choice he had, and I am able now to see the lasting impact of that choice on my life, and where it has lead me. Now I can only imagine where that other choice would have lead me, by continuing to play baseball instead of flag football, but I can still live with this choice, because it wasn't bad at all, just a choice of interests, but now what matters is how I make the best of my past choices, and move on from there.

C. Something I find challenging while reading this book is that the author talks about multiple occasions in his life that I have not been able to, due to a lack of age, been able to experience yet, so some of the lessons from those experiences tend to go over my head and I misunderstand them or just don’t get them entirely.

D. On page 12, the author, Tim Tebow, is in the middle of describing an experience he had while emotionally supporting a woman whose husband is dying on a moving plane. While having a conversation with her and her friend, he writes, "Karen and I pray while Debbie cries. It's a cycle we repeat many times over the final hour of flight. Talk. Pray. Cry. Talk. Pray. Cry." Tim Tebow, while not knowing these people, began helping as a supporter through the situation, and while the husband unfortunately passed, he comforted the wife during the rest of the flight, and he used Social Awareness to know when to talk, when to pray, and when she needed support.

a]I like the book because it gives real life connections to the seven laws that Deepak C. has created to reach success in all parts of life. Instead the book feeling like a lecture from my parents it feels like a guide to push myself to success.
b]The passage that effect me most is the giving law information. "Because your body and the universe is in constant change."I believe that this impacts everything in life. Everyone thinks life is always permant and never ending but that's not the truth. It describes how if you give back in all aspects of your life that any higher that you believe in will reward you in amazing ways.
c]The most challenging part of this book is that I have to go back and re-read an entire to actually understand the concept coming across in it.
d]''Through mediation you will learn to experience the field of pure silence and pure awareness.'' I think this shows self management because during mediation you analyze. yourself to discover your personal weaknesses and powers.

a. I am loving this book so far because awareness has always been a weakness for me. Being able to know and identify my emotions is a challenge but this book is opening my eyes as to how to be aware and different techniques i can try.
b. "The central hub of that table, of what we are now calling the wheel of awareness, represents the experience of being aware of knowing that one is surveying the knows of life. The rim came to represent that witch is known: for instance, at this moment, you are aware of the words you are reading and now perhaps you have become aware of the association you are having with the words". This passage is impactful because the author created a tool called the wheel of awareness that helps the reader to expand their container of conciseness and this passage explains how the wheel is supposed to work.

a. This is book is so far is okay because i feel like its repeating a lot of what is it already saying but i do find it still beneficial for me.

b. "strengthen your ability to face the worst that could happen" My annotation: bad things will happen i have to learn how to handle it when it comes around which is what i have been struggling on. This is because book is really connecting to how my thoughts are processing.

c. Something i find challenging about this book so far is that it is very repetitive with a lot of words and continuing to talk about the same thing.

d. " procrastinating in some areas of your life while remaining in control in most areas" my annotation: i can control that i need to do my work and to get it done. this is self awareness because i am aware of the certain things i have control over.

a) so far the book is pretty good and I like it, mainly because a lot of ideas I have and some ways that I think are part of it, so it's like understanding the view points more from someone else's eyes

b) "We rebel to defend our freedom to be our own person but after a while we become afraid do the the idea of punishment"- Impacting because: It's true.Like my grandparents are traditional and religious and expect certain things where as I question everything that's passed on. Like calling people out due to being skeptic (Basically Calling them a Liar or Not Believing them). I wasn't allowed to that especially if they we're adults. So I guess reading that made me realize if I don't agree with something, I can always stand my ground about it.

c) Finding comments for some things I highlight. Sometimes I just agree and want to leave it at that, like the passage said enough.

I agree with what you said about the brain stuttering. Not sure if it’s just me, but when I try to make sure I have everything I need for a day, I have to count, then recount, and count again, just because my brain stutters when counting and if I don’t check again, I’ll have this nagging urge saying, “You sure you have everything you need? What if you don’t?” Then I’m in this constant loop of being unsure if I’m ready for the day.

YES. Totally agree with what you said in B. I tend to try to make a list all the time in my head, even planning out the whole week off of things I know and don’t know, and it leads to me getting overwhelmed. I notice a lot of people also doing this, like you said, and it is nice to talk to someone about my load personally, preferably to a trusted friend, because when we talk about our loads, I tend to realize that my load isn’t as big as I think.

Taylor wrote: "a. The book is good and hits the nail on the head with a lot of basic principles you need to "accomplish" before managing yourself (such as double standards, respect and inserting the veiw that you..."

I agree with your view on how everyone, no matter how terrible or mean, deserves some basic necessitates. That seems like a good topic for the book to cover well, because if you understand that everyone deserves no neglect, then you can easily apply that to your life.

I agree with part b. I think we all put the blame on others, at least once in our lives. Because everything can't be our fault, right? We understand ourselves, but not others (most of the time), and they don't understand us (most of the time) which leads to us playing "The Blame Game".

Part c happened in my book too. I think that my book was more aimed to older women. Also, I've experienced the getting nervous while public speaking. If I'm performing or speaking in a group, I'm more relaxed. If it's just me, than I freak out.

KJ wrote: "I like this book so far it makes me think of myself a lot. This passage is impacting a lot on the way i think about myself and how i see other people. Especially when i think of seeing whats in pla..."

I agree with the quote. I tend to look to deeply at people or ideas, and miss the obvious. Sometimes, seeing what's hiding plain sight is seeing what's hiding underneath. For example, (this is a quote from one of my favorite authors, Dave Barry, not the author of my book) "a person that's nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person." It's right on the surface, but explains them as a whole.

Logan wrote: "A. I like my book a lot. I can relate to the author through what his interests are, and I can see some personality traits that are common between us, and this interaction helps me get engaged to th..."

I can relate to what you said in B. because the author in my book is much older and tries to explain some situations, so it is a little harder to understand or relate because of the age difference.

Anayah wrote: "a. This is book is so far is okay because i feel like its repeating a lot of what is it already saying but i do find it still beneficial for me.

what you said in part C. was also something I find a bit challenging in my book. When the author continues to repeat the same thing it gets harder and harder to read because its like you are re-reading the same thing over and over again.

Jonathan wrote: "a. The book works and doesn't work for me. Some of it relates to me, like support my well-being, and support others, with a limit. Others I'm already doing, like no cell phone in my room, and no so..."

I really like how you mentioned the spiritual vs the science part. I far prefer the more science-y parts of the world other than spiritually and find it difficult as well to connect. Also, when you mentioned when she, the author, kept referring to herself rather than the reader, it’s somewhat takes away from connecting with the reader.

KJ wrote: "I like this book so far it makes me think of myself a lot. This passage is impacting a lot on the way i think about myself and how i see other people. Especially when i think of seeing whats in pla..."

I definitely understand and agree with what you mean by, “annotating to much,” it’s so time consuming but I can’t help it. I’ve gotta get my thoughts down before they disappear and there’s only so much my hand can do before it cramps.

My book is very similar to what you said in A. My book says that you need to have courage and compassion in order to manage yourself better.

Antonio wrote: "A. How I like the book so far is that its ok. The reason is that the book is constantly talking about different things for instance it was talking about Theodore Roosevelt then Abraham Lincoln and ..."

What you said in C. was like my book. The author tells a few stories but for some of them I am finding it difficult to understand how it relates back to the main theme of the book.

Antonio wrote: "A. How I like the book so far is that its ok. The reason is that the book is constantly talking about different things for instance it was talking about Theodore Roosevelt then Abraham Lincoln and ..."

Your response to part (b) is very true and is seen so much in society, and unfortunately, with myself. It’s a shame that when there is no one to blame, people still search for a way to put the blame on others when it isn’t necessary.

I agree with what you said in B. about having to be willing to do work to get what you want. Before doing something I always ask myself if I am willing to do it to get to my goal, and if I'm not, then I must not want to do it or achieve that goal.

Logan wrote: "A. I like my book a lot. I can relate to the author through what his interests are, and I can see some personality traits that are common between us, and this interaction helps me get engaged to th..."

I related way too hard to your response for part (c). My book keeps referring to most adult situations which I haven’t been in, such as having the stresses the to yell at an angry employee at a job, although, I haven been able to relate them to my school and home life.

Logan’s passage for part D says “Doing, watching, or listening to the same things everyday makes times feel like it’s slipping right through your fingers.”

I have way too much experience with this that it is serial. I know I should be more productive, by I became so use to relaxing the same way after I work instead of doin something different. When I look up at the clock three minutes turn to three hours.

Anaya wrote: “ procrastinating in some areas of your life while remaining in control of your life”

I believe that there should be little to no amount of procrastination in your life as it can be distracting yourself from the end goal. This will end up i you setting yourself up for failure

Mariam said: “When you start to view the world through the lens of what your willing and unwilling to pursue, rather than what it seems you want and don’t want, things start to become a lot clearer.”

I relate to this because in my book, Allen continues to restate how you need to clarify what you need to do in order to understand what you really want out of life. Then after you have done that you can be able to asses yourself and organize your thoughts to become less stressed.

Yes!!!! I’m loving your answer for part (a)!!! I’m oblivious and live under a rock when it comes to trying to figure out what I’m feeling or doing, I’m always quick to ask my peers if they notice anything strange about me so I’m aware of them!

Alexis wrote: “...more strongly connected we are with someone emotionally, the greater the mutual force.”

I can vouch for this quite because when ever I have a conversation with someone I meet I always want to be able to have some sort of a connection with them emotionally whether if it is mutual or not. I feel that having such a connection will allow for one to manage not only there relationship with that person but be able to assess themselves.

Anayah wrote:" This is book is so far is okay because i feel like its repeating a lot of what is it already saying but i do find it still beneficial for me."

I agree with part D because this piece of evidence because normally most of all the work I been give I don't procrastinate which means I am able to control the work I am given and being able to do it without waiting last minute, like Anayah also mention how she likes to get her work done I agree with that because I rather get it done and out of the way to.

I agree with what you said in B, because a lot of things for me can get me off task. I could be trying to study or do projects, but this one video or this one episode is catching my attention, and in the end, it takes up all of my time, and I wasted my opportunities.

Jennifer said: “ I’m only 14 years old verses a grown women so some things I haven’t experienced quite yet in my life.”

I honestly can relate to this comment the most considering that I’m 15 trying to relate to a grown man talk about other and their struggles. And on top of that the people that he is referring to is also grown. But I am able to sift through and pick out things that hits home for me. David Allen also makes references to teens a couple times throughout the book.

Mikaela wrote:" I like the book because it gives real life connections to the seven laws that Deepak C. has created to reach success in all parts of life. Instead the book feeling like a lecture from my parents it feels like a guide to push myself to success."

I agree with part D because, when mediating you are In a silent clam state were you feel relax and away for all the worlds chaos. I also agree when Mikaela said you analyze yourself to discover yourself I also think that is true because it keeps you from not thinking about anything bad only positive thoughts

Mariam wrote: "a) I like my book so far. Its very relatable and I see my actions displayed throughout the pages. It talks about self doubt, how it affects your life and if you're willing to make changes in your l..."

I like the concept of the state of willingness that you mentioned from the book. I have this problem too, where I know what I want to do, just I don’t want to do it at that time, and I’m not willing to get over that barrier and working on or doing what I need to to. I also somewhat agree on your thoughts about it, with you saying that if you aren’t willing to do it then you don’t want it. While I agree with that for personal wants in life like hobbies or interests, there are some needs that you have to accomplish, like school, work, etc. It is a good way to tell your interests, and it could be helpful to find if you want to pursue the path you are taking, it is necessary to overcome that barrier and have a state of willingness in cases where you have to complete the assignment or pass, because you can’t just quit everything, even if you’re not interested in it. Then again, you could just be referring to your wants or interests, and in that case I agree with you, except for the fact that you just can’t quit something the second you aren’t willing to accomplish it, because it is also that push to overcome that also creates a drive and passion for that subject, and not everything will come easy.

Mikaela wrote: "a]I like the book because it gives real life connections to the seven laws that Deepak C. has created to reach success in all parts of life. Instead the book feeling like a lecture from my parents ..."

I relate to this with my book as well, I've come across so many real life experiences and connections so far in my book. Just by reading a few pages so far i can already tell that it will benefit me in my life.

I agree with what you are saying with knowing our triggers to nervousness and reading the audience’s behaviors when it comes to big projects or presentations. Most of the time, we are nervous over the smallest thing that could affect our entire presentation, and identifying those specific triggers could lead to more confidence while presenting or prevent the work from getting done fully for projects, and this could overall lead to a boost in courage regarding your self state in general, and could in turn boost your social state, increasing your E.I. steadily. Also, reading an audience’s mood could also help identify the way your presentation would be received by them, and if possible, you could be able to try to change it a little to appeal to that audience, boosting your presentation and delivery in total.
