116. Knowledge is NOT Power

from The Code: A Guide to Health and Human Performance · host Dr. Andrew Fix

“Knowledge is power”—or is it? It’s a phrase we hear often, but never really question. On today’s episode of The Code, host Dr. Andrew Fix suggests that knowledge is not power, at least not unto itself. Knowledge becomes powerful only when we put it into action.    Dr. Fix cites his own experience using a tracking device to illustrate. He collected so much body data— heart rate variability, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation—all of which was useless because he did nothing with it. He will explain the danger in reading too many self-improvement books and listening to self-improvement podcasts and whether list-making or time blocking is better for time management and goal setting.    Join today’s episode to learn Dr. Fix’s advice about turning your own knowledge into power. That’s where the magic really happens.    Quotes • “Knowledge really isn’t power. A lot of people who are in powerful positions or a lot of people who do great things have a lot of knowledge, but knowledge by itself is useless. It’s just information. It’s just information until you are able to, or you choose to, do something with it.” (1:41 | Dr. Andrew Fix) • “Just like that phrase “creativity without action is just imagination.” Or “goals without action are just dreams.” Unless you choose to do something with the information that you have, what good is that information?” (2:08 | Dr. Andrew Fix) • “Gather as much information as you want and as you can. But at the end of the day, please make sure you do something with that information because it’s going to improve your life, it’s going to improve somebody else’s life and everyone’s going to be better off for it because we’re going to put that knowledge into action and that’s where the magic can really happen.” (6:29 | Dr. Andrew Fix)    Links https://conversational-leadership.net/knowledge-and-power/
