Hence, it is common sense to seek out those experiences that are conducive to uplifting our awareness, not only because the experience itself will be more satisfying, but because it prepares us to better appreciate the next one. What good will it do a man to be in an ideal situation if, because of an uncontrolled mind, he is not aware enough to appreciate it?

Third, in the majority of studies that show HIIT to be efficacious, without high-injury dropout rates, HIIT is incorporated in small and potent doses spread sparingly throughout the week—in contrast to the frequent, often daily CrossFit-style intense intervals combined with heavy weight training. For example, at the 2010 USA Triathlon Art and Science of Triathlon Coaching Symposium, an HIIT researcher named Stephen McGregor introduced an HIIT training routine that research has shown to lead to incredible increases in power output, peak power, and VO2 max. It goes like this: Start with four thirty-second max sprints, with two to four minutes of rest after each sprint, just three times a week. Gradually increase to ten thirty-second max sprints with two-and-a-half minutes of rest, just three times a week. Do this for seven weeks, for a total of six-and-a-half to fifteen minutes of actual HIIT a week. But instead of this minimalist, high-quality approach, many people incorporating HIIT into their training (including CrossFitters) are easily doing twice that volume —not just in a week, but in a single day!

The Stories Principle Stories are the most powerful way we humans learn. Every community, like every person, is full of stories. Sharing certain stories deepens a community’s connections. If people don’t know (or can’t learn) your stories, they don’t know or understand your community. They can’t know who you are, what you do, or how what you do matters. Stories are how members, future members, and outsiders learn the values and the value of the community. The stories must be shared so that members can understand the community’s authentic values and identity.
