Which is more important - mind or body? Jason Karp: "Whether you are a mouse or a human, a sound body creates a sound mind"

Don't agree! It's more about a symbiosis....and so,so many examples of body problems compensated of a strong mind and willpower.

Although I do agree with your friends point, this isn’t a very brilliant or outside the box point. People have been saying this for years. It’s a fairly obvious observation

Gee Rojo, your mind must be moving a mile a minute!

But jokes aside, the fact that we are giving name to conditions and focusing on diagnosing them does not mean they didn't exist before. They existed. And suicide rates have remained virtually unchanged over the last 70 years; that's about as far as our data is reliable. One could argue they've actually dropped due to better reporting of C.O.D.

On the flip side, summiting Maslow's hierarchy is no promise of some sort of freedom, and the things you mentioned related to wealth offer no promise of happiness...this is quite obvious. Quality of life seems to begin to falter around 90 to 100k.

I should mention the stress of simply trying to make ends meet or survive is a horrible, taxing feeling I wish upon no one. There's a reason life expectancy has tripled. I'll take a long, comfortable life surrounded by family and children who actually survive over a short, rough life, even if the former leaves me with a bit of anxiety, or maybe a rather unfulfilled or disenchanted tinge to the lens which I view the world.

It's nonsense, it is the other way around.

The brain is the central governor (=master). The brain controls the muscles (slave), and gets feedback and reacts occordingly.

I had a pretty sound body, so no.

They did a study with rats who were hungry and the rats chose cocaine over food. Cocaine has alarming effects on the brain, for sure. Stay away from the white candy.

WOWOWWW

Is that **the** RCJASON?

Jason Karp is one of the last people I'd take advice from about anything. He's a prime example of someone who can hum the melody but can't play or sing the song.

Oh were you really running a “ton”?

Truly boring point spoken by someone (you) who has never had to worry about money

Rojo, you’re like a college freshman who had ONE class that mentions Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and now you have suddenly figured out the answer to EVERYTHING. Except you’re like 50 years old.

What Maslow Missed

Steve Denning

Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead...

stop posting here so much with your half baked BS and do some REAL work

Christopher Pike would answer Mind.

Cogito ergo sum

This is grossly misrepresenting the rat park study.

Like heroin-addicted vets returning from the vietnam war and never touching it again, the rats dropped this behavior when removed from their isolation and allowed to interact in a normal environment.

Certainly one could apply these principles to their own lives.

Enjoyed his talk. I knew him at one time. I can remember he showing up at one of the free community races that I put on, on the local track.

Not many ever showed up for those races. I remember talking to him at one of Doc Ruff’s races, Oliver Winery and I still remember him sitting at the corner of one of the turns at Gladstein Fieldhouse before a meet, timing one of his runners.

Even as a mediocre character in the sport, running meant everything to me and by that very good talk it’s obvious it meant a lot to him.

very good video.

In running terms your body better be ready to back up what you have in your mind. If you claim the mind can exceed the body then you are asserting a mysticism or non-materiality to running.

Or you could just get super shoes.

This looks like little more than regurgitated Cerutty that dude read in a book. It’s trite and simple yet does little to explain mental illness like eating disorders.

Yeah, Dr. Run Coach Jason Karp PhD is no Stephen Hawking.

RoJoke how do you know people didn’t have anxiety in the 1800s? They absolutely did. They just didn’t have Twitter to broadcast it.

Being tired at the end of the day cures depression? lol my goodness you are not an intelligent person.

I think most TED talks belong in the same genre as homeopathic medicine, Tom Brady thinking he's immortal because he treats his body as a temple, etc. Mostly delusional. Occasionally a good TED talk comes along, but most are duds and simply fluff. My opinion.

I go back and forth on old RC Jason. At times, I find him insufferable, at other times I find him reasonably knowledgeable.

While he may sound Cerutty like to you, much of his training philosophy is heavily rooted in Daniels. When he focuses on actual training advice, as a Daniels guy, he usually sounds fairly reasonable to me.

Its with respect to everything else that I find him insufferable - the self promotion, the berating athletes who won't accept his coaching after he solicits them, the solicitation of other coach's athletes and the badmouthing of those coaches without ever having spoken to them as part of that solicitation - it is just hard to not let those things bleed over into the overall impression.
