FAQ

What Makes This Program Different?

Focus on Habit Formation

Most trainings result in short-lived improvements. For sustained results, the GEM program focuses on building neural pathways that form lasting new habits. I call this "mental moxie".

Develop all 3 Core Muscles 

Mental Moxie requires 3 core muscles. Saboteur Interceptor, Self-Command, and Sage Perspective. Meditation and Reflection only focus on Self-Command, which is why it is not sustained by most.

Treat Root Cause, not Symptoms

PQ factor analysis research has revealed the foundational root-level enablers and disablers of optimal performance and well-being. This program rewires the brain at the root cause level.

One Operating System, Many Applications

Through factor analysis, we've discovered the core operating system of the mind that can run a massive variety of work and life applications. One simple operating system, many applications.

A Platform for Ongoing Growth

Similar to physical fitness, mental fitness is not a short-term training. After the initial six-week Basic Bootcamp, the PQ app ensures continued growth through a variety of work and life applications with a Grow subscription.

Research-Based, Measurable Results

PQ research has included more than a million participants from around the globe. The tools have been field-tested with thousands of tough-minded participants, ensuring their efficacy.

Is this the right program for me?

This is the right program for you if you are a) committed to improving your performance and effectiveness dramatically while reducing stress, b) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick, and c) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don't serve you.

Aren't negative emotions sometimes helpful?

Some people believe that negative emotions are helpful. For example, they think stress gives them their performance edge, or beating themselves or others up is helpful for continual improvement.

Feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove is indeed useful, delivering an important alert. But your Saboteurs keep your hand on the hot stove, continuing to feel negative emotions that harm both performance and happiness.

In this program, we learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert, and then quickly shift to the positive region of the brain that has the calm clarity, objectivity, and creativity to handle the challenge most effectively.

How much time and effort is required?

During the Bootcamp, you'd be committing to watching a 1-hour video once per week and doing a combined total of 15 minutes per day of practice guided by the Positive Intelligence app exclusively designed for this program.

This might sound like a lot of time. In fact, cumulatively, it constitutes less than 2% of your awake time for the duration of the program. Please consider that your Saboteurs are costing you far more than 2%of your time, effort, energy, and productivity. Consider how much more than 2%of time and productivity this six-week investment will save for years to come.
