8 Laws of Change | Stephan A Schwartz | TEDxVail

If change comes down to 8 laws, could you employ them to make real change? A science-based strategy for achieving enduring wellness-oriented change on a personal, societal, and global Level, these 8 laws of behavior enable any person or small group - even ordinary people without great wealth, official position, or physical power - to bend the arc of history to create successful lasting life-affirming transformation.
Stephan A. Schwartz is a Distinguished Consulting Faculty of Saybrook University, and a Research Associate of the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory of the Laboratories for Fundamental Research. He is the columnist for the journal Explore, and editor of the daily web publication Schwartzreport.net in both of which he covers trends that are affecting the future. He also writes regularly for The Huffington Post.
For 40 years he has been studying the nature of consciousness. He is the author of more than 130 technical reports and papers. In addition to his experimental studies he has written numerous magazine articles for Smithsonian, OMNI, American History, American Heritage, The Washington Post, The New York Times, as well as other magazines and newspapers. He hás produced and written a number television documentaries, and has written four books: The Secret Vaults of Time, The Alexandria Project, Mind Rover, Opening to the Infinite, and his latest, The 8 Laws of Change.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Mr. Schwartz is a boon to humanity. For over thirty years he has devoted himself to the world of social and individual elevation of consciousness. Imagine a world of Social awareness collective consciousness and connectivity. Mr Schwartz has devoted his life teaching people how to transform that imagination into reality.

    Wow. Thank you. I am giving a presentation on change and responsibility for work and as a coincidence I heard your on Next Level Soul. Your 8 laws of change - within hours of me changing my presentation to a change theme stood out and so here I am in awe of this today. Thank you. I pray that I’ll get to share some of your work and lead a few people (many if possible) to see your work. Thank you Speak louder and more often 🙏🙏🙏🙏 PatriceSandstrom… I’ll be sharing on my social media today. And I pray people pay attention. I’m always saying I’m believing for a better world and I feel you’re sharing the guide posts to get this done. And though I’m late to this video, I believe we’re right on time. Thank you🙏

    An inspiring talk. May it inspire many toward making choices that are more affirmative of life in its goodness and help, growth and inclusiveness of cultures around the world_ that all humans see their connection as humans and the compassion that follows to help others. Helping others joyfully is an essential in life for both giver and receiver_ both gain from gratefulness.

    1. Make everyday decisions a simple choice toward compassion and wellness. 2. Keep company with like minded people. 3. Make peace with not achieving your goal in your lifetime. 4. Don't be too attached for getting credit. Just be happy your contribution moved the world closer to that goal. 5. Treat like minded people in the group with equality. 6. Non violence. 7. Do as you say in public and private. 8. The individuals in the group, and the group collectively, must always act from the beingness of life- affirming integrity.

    N 5 doesn't make sense. Why not treat everyone with equality, regardless of the group? Actually, most of these laws don't make sense.

    The United States was started by conflict though, but the current US is failing now, but that's more to do with the system of capitalism running it's course and pulling all the money and power into the hands of the few than the American revolution, but capitalism is a violent system of power for the reasons you mentioned and more so it explains why it is failing more and more as time goes on... It may take violence to enact systemic change that fixes these issues, but I hope it doesn't

    How about this: mister Stephen A Schwarzman - just my humble idea: you get a normal house in a normal neighborhood, in a normal 3rd world country, a safe one where we are not causing riots (you know) and get a normal job minimum wage, live only with this minimum wage and after a year or so of living this way, after heat exhaustion , possibly walking to work, and living without your billions. Revisit your ideas. See if you would even have the time of getting your mind into how others have to live their lives. Get physically busy, get physically exhausted and share those 3 or 4 dollars left from the minimum wage salary with the people you love, even share a meal with the neighbors you will unavoidably have. Your brain will calm down and you will experience the reality of people and your own reality not your brain but your whole being.

    Not really impressed. Simple observations that are really just management principles. Nothing to do with "change" here.

    Everything to do with change. It's just that at this point in time you don't understand that. But if you contemplate on it a little longer you will understand how powerful his message is. Simple but powerful.
