About this Presentation
The problem of happiness is, that everyone aspires to be successful and live a happy, fulfilled life; but life for most, is happy only in patches, mediocre largely and stressful in chunks. In his session, Deepak will strongly advocate that ‘thinking’ should be viewed, invested in and used as a ‘life skill’- it holds the key to that happier life we aspire for’. It is our access, our password to happiness. His session, in many ways, will be a re-iteration of Eli’s message (from his seminal work The Choice), of urging us to ‘Thinking Clearly’- in all dealings with family, friends, work- for a meaningful, fulfilled life. Eli’s message was life transformative- yet, it had found low awareness and usage in managing a) personal affairs, day-to-day transactional affairs, relationships etc- both at work and at home b) amongst the average TOC practitioner, indicating that there were some missing pieces in the ‘thinking jigsaw puzzle’. Deepak’s quest for those few missing pieces, ended with him finding those in the thought process and tenets of the Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman and Vedanta exponent, Swamy Parthasarathy. Together, these additional pieces would better solve the ‘Thinking jigsaw puzzle’- the major part of which was solved by Eli. Integrating their perspectives suitably into Eli’s ‘Thinking Clearly’ narrative, Deepak has been able to successfully develop a new ‘composite narrative’ on Thinking. Deepak will be sharing his composite narrative- along with some easy to follow guidelines, practices, and day to day thinking templates – this should help us pluck the low hanging fruits and get on the path of a happy and a fulfilled life….

To help you get the most value from this session, we’ve highlighted a few key points. These takeaways capture the main ideas and practical insights from the presentation, making it easier for you to review, reflect, and apply what you’ve learned.
Thinking productivity, or the ability to manage and generate thoughts effectively, is crucial for achieving happiness
Active clear thinking, which involves understanding the underlying cause-effect relationships in situations, is a benchmark for good quality thinking
There are two modes of thinking - fast (intuitive and instinctive) and slow (deliberate and logical) - and understanding how to optimize the use of both can improve thinking productivity
