Publisher's Synopsis
Forrest Gump movie states that a person's true potential is unknown. With years of passion, toil and training, we can grow our abilities and accomplish things which we would not have imagined. Chris Gardener in the movie 'Pursuit Of Happyness' shows that solving life's harder problems would need longer time than what most people would imagine. He shows how to be determined, consistently committed to our goals. He demonstrates how 'deliberate mindful effort' would take anyone higher up in life.One of the common factors for everyone's success is "Presence of Other People". A self-centred person often fails to notice the presence of other people around him. Most of us are not aware of how we are self-centered at certain times. Phil Connors in the 'Groundhog Day' movie shows us how to avoid being self-centred.Be it your personal life, any profession, any business, Scientific research has shown that road to success or happiness is how you deal with other people. In the 'Groundhog Day' movie, Phil Connors teaches us valuable lessons on 'How To Influence People' for your own success. The 'Up In The Air' movie clearly states that without an in-depth understanding of users, it would be impossible to come out with a relevant and meaningful solution to the consumers. The movie also shows how we can easily prototype and test some of our ideas without spending much money and time. And the highlight of the movie is that it shows the secret to convince people and change their minds. 'Jerry Maguire' is about building personal relationships with your consumer by spending time with them, observing them, and understanding their hidden needs & desires. Our businesses would grow by helping, educating our consumers to help themselves. If you care about your people, they would care about your product or service.One of the lessons from 'The Walk' movie is 'How to enjoy your work'. Pleasure is defined as a feeling of contentment or satisfaction in meeting the expectations we have in our mind. Enjoyment comes only when you go beyond set expectations. Philippe Petit, in the movie, shows us how to stretch our expectations every day so that we could sustain enjoyment in the work.Cognitive biases affect everything-It affects our life, interaction with others, our emotions, new ideas, new product development, customer service, acquisition, succession planning, hiring. These biases are hidden traps residing within us and we unknowingly, unconsciously fall into them. The 'Money ball' movie shows how we can overcome some of those traps.
