Areté +1° #128: The Big 3 x 2 - Identity + Virtues & Behaviors (#1,559)

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Arete One Degree. Another micro chapter from my new book Arete activate youe Heroic Potential. 451 ideas like these. Let's talk about the big three times two identity, virtues and Behaviors. If we agree that a good life essentially comes down to getting our energy, work and love optimized, that begs the question, how do we do that knowing that the ultimate game we're playing is to express the best version of ourselves more and more consistently by living with Arete as we put our virtues in action, I propose that we need to get clear on another big three. First, we need to know who we are at our best Energy, work and love wise. We'll refer to those best versions of ourselves as our identities. Then we want to get clear on what virtues that best version of ourselves embodies. Then most importantly, we need to do the things that best version of ourselves would do. We'll call those behaviors. Enter our second Big Three Identity, Virtues and Behaviors. We'll spend a little time unpacking each of those Big threes. Then we'll embrace some learning 101 interleaving and spaced repetition so we can go from theory to practice to mastery together today. I hope you enjoyed that Arete One Degree from my new book Activate your Heroic Potential.
