Equations for Life

From Chip Conley and his book Emotional Equations:
  • Despair = Suffering - Meaning
  • Disappointment = Expectations - Reality
  • Workaholism = What are you running from? / What are you living for?
  • Authenticity = Self-Awareness x Courage
  • Joy = Love - Fear
  • Self-Esteem = Success / Pretensions
  • Outcome = Event + Reaction
  • Anticipation = Optimism - Joy
  • Regret = Disappoint + Responsibility
  • Happiness = Wanting what you have / Having what you want
  • Happiness = Practicing gratitude / Pursuing gratification
  • Suffering = Pain x Resistance
  • Remorse = Regret + Guilt
  • Jealousy = Mistrust / Self-Esteem
  • Envy = (Pride + Vanity) / Kindness
  • Anxiety = Uncertainty x Powerlessness
  • Calling = Pleasure / Pain
  • Flow = Skill / Challenge (Goal should be 1.0)
  • Curiosity = Wonder + Awe
  • Narcissism = (Self-Esteem)**2 x Entitlement
  • Integrity = Authenticity x Invisibility x Reliability
  • Innovation = Creativity - Cynicism
  • Thriving = Frequency of positive / Frequency of negative (Goal should be 1.0)
  • Faith = Belief / Intellect
  • Wisdom = Square Root (Experience)
  • Growth = Change - Resistance
  • Humiliation = (Shame x Anger) - Power
  • Empathy = Compassion (for self) + Presence (for others)
