MOMENTUM! Solve Your Relationship Equations

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of Momentum Monday, I cover how the ancient mathematician Diophantus, who revolutionized problem-solving by focusing on relationships between numbers, can inspire us to rethink our own relationships. Instead of fixating on fixing others, I challenge you to observe, question, and experiment with your connections, just like solving an equation. Whether it's a coworker, family member, or friend, I share how curiosity, pattern recognition, and small changes can shift the momentum in your favor. Plus, I reference research from Albert Bandura, Daniel Kahneman, and B.F. Skinner to ground these ideas in psychology. 🔗 Sources & Further Reading: Diophantus and the Birth of Algebra Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow B.F.
