Episode notes
E + R = O Explains Control
- Urban Meyer frames life with the equation E + R = O: Event plus response equals outcome.
- We can't control events or outcomes, but we always control our response.
Choose Responses Proactively
- Choose your response deliberately to influence outcomes rather than blaming circumstances.
- Be proactive and treat responsibility as "response-ability" when you act from values not feelings.
Links To Classic Thinkers
- Brian links Meyer's formula to Jack Canfield's success principles that use the same idea.
- He also points out Epictetus' teaching that some things are in our power and others are not.
