Network. I'm thrilled to have with us today a Hindu priest, and entrepreneur, a former monk of 10 years, and the author of "The Power of Unwavering Focus," Dandapani. Dandapani graduated from the university with an electrical engineering degree and left that behind to become a monk under Gurudeva. After 10 years as a monk, he made his way to New York City and made that his home.
He is an internationally renowned speaker, a world-leading expert on leveraging the human mind to create a life of purpose and joy. Dandapani has shared the stage with several world-renowned leaders, such as Hillary Clinton and Ban Ki-moon. He is currently creating with his wife a 33-acre retreat center in Costa Rica to inspire growth and self-transformation, Siva
Gran resumen. Me encantó. Dando un poquito vuelta a la página. Contame para hablar un poco de los proyectos, ¿cuál es el que de todos los que hiciste, de todos los que encaraste, más orgullo te genera? ¿Y por qué?
It's practically horizontal. You know what that means? Dandelions are almost not impacted by family stress or childhood stress. Wow. Now, you can go-- you can see why it's so important that we have 80% of any population, that is going to be minimally
So you guys, there's mutations that happen natural-- I mean, every time you try to make a copy, there's going to be a change. Dandelions and sea jellies, barnacles, they're all doing it like crazy out there.
But actually, it's OK, you adults. versus dandelions, how can you optimize for both types of people?
They prosper and thrive almost anywhere they're planted. Like dandelions, these are the majority of children whose well-being is all but assured by their constitutional hardiness and strength. But there are others, however, who, more like orchids, can wither and fade when unattended by caring support, but who also, like orchids, can become creatures
It's a living; where other people have dried out and blown away, he has remained: a tamarisk hunter, a water tick, a stubborn bit of weed. Everyone else has blown off the land as surely as dandelion seeds, set free to fly south or east. Or most of all north to where watersheds sometimes still run deep and where even if there's no more lush ferns or deep fish--deep cold fish runs, at least there's still water for people.
So this is the thing that's a little aggravating for me as an orchid that just makes me wish sometimes I could be a dandelion. Look at the dandelion line. It's practically horizontal. You know what that means?
And then the second book is into-- the first book was more about who I am. And then Dandelion Chocolate.
And then the second book is into-- the first book was more about who I am. I do love Dandelion Chocolate a lot.
And it comes out in those moments like this-- of like, you know what? It's not the dander that you find in the cat hair.
They have these sensory hypersensitivities, like aversions to loud noise or certain kinds of tastes. an orchid or a dandelion.
They have these sensory hypersensitivities, like aversions to loud noise or certain kinds of tastes. are orchids or dandelions overlap some with these psychological disorders.
Some children are like-- a nursery school teacher described this to me. Some children are like dandelions. They're robust, and they can flourish in lots of places.
And me. They come into it. And do you remember Dandrew? Do you remember that when they were in Russia and he was trying to march?
And, again, I don't want to beat this to death, here's another graph. So fine and dandy if you're actually in a couple situation, but certainly not so if you're single.
It's like OK. So just going more small scale. I say dandelion. JONATHAN ALFERNESS Oh, I was saying "dan-dee-lion," I guess.
I guess maybe. Fun fact, you actually can't find them in Florida either. Because the dandelions are all wilted.
This then gets put in a barrel. My handy dandy torch.
his mother uh of two twin nieces who are s years old so Zeke has been sort of this confirmed Bachelor he sort of Saw himself as a womanizing Dandy because that that's probably an over generous um description of his love life but he saw himself this way and suddenly he is helping to raise these two twins which he loves to do very much um as the book
It killed broad-leaved weeds like dandelions, chickweed, and poison ivy, but it virtually ignored crops.
define your priorities. Your priorities will then define what you do in the five minutes. But I have one life as Dandapani.
define your priorities. Your priorities will then define what you do in the five minutes. But I have one life as Dandapani, and I want it to be an amazing life.
So we organize big events-- big dandias, 6,000, 7,000 people, big Bollywood events, Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal,
Y siempre ahí hay proyectos dando vueltas para hacer con eso.
las cosas tal vez se te fueron dando a partir simplemente de conectarte con una pasión, por supuesto, mucho sacrificio, seguramente?
But actually, it's OK, you adults. And the person who's the dandelion who's at work can help support that.
He's always in a turtleneck with dandruff on his back.
Apenas hace algún tiempo me estaba dando cuenta de eso, que todas las campañas trataban de eso, de buscar equidad, respeto y transmitir mensajes.
Es algo de lo que me estoy dando la dicha de aprender.
So I want to now share with you some of the scientific basis, really the scientific story, out of which the book grew. So "The Orchid and the Dandelion-- Why Some Children Struggle and How All Can Survive." I am a sailor of small boats among other callings. And when I'm out on that brisk, blue San Francisco Bay, I am really attuned to the surface conditions
And he said, the Swedes have this idiomatic expression, maskrosbarn, which means, literally, dandelion child. And what the Swedes mean by dandelion child is that there are these kids who, like the dandelion, can grow anywhere they're planted. They grow in fertile mountain fields.
and epigenetic variation as well. So who are these orchid and dandelion children? Well, the dandelion children, in addition to being those who are low in reactivity, are often extroverted.
There was the shooting of Jill Dando, the TV presenter of the "Holiday" program and "Crimewatch."
Nos lo pasamos-- nos terminamos dando un abrazo que yo digo, mire, a ver si meto la pata por las costumbres y lo pasé
You had the choice between "Beano" and "Dandy," which were sort of old, World War II layover comics for kids.
That's just fine and dandy.
I also find books are a dandy resource.
So I started this comic called Dandelions.
I guess maybe. Fun fact, you actually can't find them in Florida either. And I saw this beautiful field of dandelions at sunset, and all their little dandelion heads were glowing.
I guess maybe. Fun fact, you actually can't find them in Florida either. So there's actually only like four dandelions in the movie, just placed in such a way that it looks like there was a lot
So here's a handy dandy chart of almost everything I just threw at you in terms of temperatures.
spell it was already late November yet dandelions and daisies were poking out
The British never imagined that a pinch of salt from the Dandi March could spark a massive revolution, and he made it happen.
You don't have to deal with cat dander and-- Yeah.
Luego, hay algún registro dando vueltas en internet donde se me ve a mí con 6 años cantando, pero era en un acto de la
But actually, it's OK, you adults. To practice loving care is the responsibility of the dandelion partner.
Y yo tengo siempre presente que tal vez no estoy dando el 100% y ni estoy demostrando a la mejor una parte del gran
They were like a Janus-faced god that could look in either direction. We began to call these kids with the yellow data plots dandelion children. When I was presenting some of these data at Stanford years ago, at the end of the lecture, an old guy came up the middle of the aisle with a gnarly cane
