book: The Internet to the Inner-Net


The Internet to the Inner-Net: Five Ways to Reset Your Connection and Live a Conscious Life: Gopi Kallayil: 9781401944506: Amazon.com: Books

"The Internet has become humanity’s invisible central nervous system. It connects us and can sometimes overwhelm us. Yet the most important technology is within us—our brain, body, and consciousness. A fast-paced career in the high-tech industry in combination with a deep yoga and meditation practice has allowed Gopi Kallayil to integrate his inner and outer technologies to a remarkable degree."

Strategies, "rituals of the life" that lead to peak performance:
  1. Focus on the essential
    "things that are more important should not be
    a the mercy of things that are less important"- Goethe
  2. Do one thing at the time
    no "continuous partial attention"
  3. 1 minute of "inner-net" each day 
    "mindfulness", i.e. yoga + meditation, 1 of 1440 minutes in a day
  4. Appointments for mindfulness: one hour out of 168 in each week
    non-negotiable, "anchors" every week, "sharpen the saw"
  5. Friend yourself
    the most important relationship one can ever have is with yourself
