“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Note: There are a few occasions where MG accidentally says determination instead of determinism.
For eons, a philosophical debate has raged: Free will vs determinism.
Where do you stand? Determinism says you have no free will, and that all actions and events are predetermined.
However, free will says, you are fully accountable and responsible for your entire life.
Once again, MG takes the middle path in this debate.
“Life is much like any card or board game. You have rules (in life these are laws like gravity, etc. AND you have chance and randomness. You have the ability to move up and across the board and can influence your results, and your are subject to chaos and randomness.”
One of the worst quotes, it may make some people feel better but it’s absent much critical thinking is: “Well, EVERYTHING happens for a reason.”
Depending upon what happened, a tsunami in indonesia killing thousands. Or an earthquake in Japan. Or, the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryan. Good luck telling his wife and children that it happened for a reason.”
again, it may make them feel better by creating a story to support a theory of determinism.
Speaking of stories; since there truly is something called chaos and randomness – if not, we probably wouldn’t have those phrases. In legalese, these are know as “Acts of God.”
So, when it comes to luck it’s important to recogbize that it does exist. Thomas Jefferson reportedly said, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.
There is an entire TED talk her on ways to influence your luck.
So a few questions for you to ponder:
Does luck exist?
Are you lucky?
How can you enhance your luck?
Enjoy the show!

From the world of statistics: All models are flawed, but some are useful.
We asked Google’s AI experiment Gemini to “break” the “3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System” behavior model.
The short story (no pun intended), is he/she/IT could not.
The best Gemini could offer: “What about people who aren’t aware of their unconscious stories/thinking?”
It’s a good question and a nice attempt. However, an unconscious story is still a story (represented within the model), and that is the point of the latest book, EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY where the latest version of the model was revealed.
BTW: You are invited to try and “break” the “3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System” behavior model as well.
If you think you can, please email or leave comments here.
*Note: ChatGPT’s does not know the model yet, officially published in October of 2022. GPT’s latest update is from January 2022.

“The Three Circles of Behavior Echo-System” / The Grunburg Behavior Model is a holistic, fluid, and dynamic behavior-change model. It’s the very first behavior-change model to demonstrate how our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and even our environment vibrate (echo and reverberate) to influence each other.
Hence, it’s an “Echo-System” not an eco-system. All prior behavior models represent human behavior in a linear-flow type diagram.Background here.
If you’d like to understand human behavior at an even deeper level, learn more about the “Three Circles of Behavior Echo-System” which is featured in the book, “EVERYTHING!”
I teach and coach organizations and executives and executive coaches worldwide how to best apply and leverage “The Three Circles of Behavior Echo-System” and the P.A.R.R. [Plan, Act, Record & Reassess] scientifically-backed methodology for individual and organizational behavior design.
