The Science Behind
How The 9 Intense Experiences
Will Change Your Life

The 9 Intense Experiences is based on an extensive range of scientific studies … but of course, while that fact holds strong appeal for many, there are many others who hear terms like “science” and “studies” and wonder if the program is going to be dull and bogged down by the research.

Well, anything but!

In the words of David Riklan, founder of the world’s most popular personal growth site, SelfGrowth.com:

The 9 Intense Experiences by Brian Vaszily is “a very rare breed – a fresh, exciting, powerful, fun and highly effective way to break through stubborn emotional barriers like stress, self-doubt, fear and worry and finally achieve the success in your career, relationships, health, finances and more that you know you are meant to achieve.”

Being enjoyable, in fact, is actually one of the key scientific principles The 9 Intense Experiences is based on: common sense dictates, and studies confirm, that you are far more prone to do, learn and grow from experiences that are enjoyable, as you’ll read below.

Of course, The 9 Intense Experiences ultimate goal is to enable you to feel far more fulfilled, far HAPPIER, than you do today. Whether you feel miserable or reasonably happy or very happy already, there is always room for more happiness … and as you will discover it is inevitable that you’ll achieve that with The 9 Intense Experiences.

Intuitively we know that achieving greater happiness is a reason unto itself, but in the past decade or so, there has been an extensive amount of research in the area of “positive psychology,” or happiness studies, to back up why pursuing happiness is as essential as essential gets to human beings.

For example, three research psychologists led by Sonja Lubomirksy recently completed a major study (see further below) that found that, “happy individuals are successful across multiple life domains, including marriage, friendship, income, work performance and health.”

Their research and other studies have shown that pursuing happiness and being happier is CENTRAL to:

➢ Achieve success in your finances, career, relationships and more..

➢ Feel healthier, prevent disease and live longer.

➢ Avoid premature aging.

➢ Be more creative.

➢ Perform complex tasks better.

➢ Communicate more effectively AND resolve conflicts more effectively.

Other studies show that happiness also improves your sleep, your self-confidence, and even your ability to help others effectively.

With that in mind, it is also important to note that The 9 Intense Experiences is also based on three other key proven principles:

1) You discover and improve not by reading about or hearing about something, but by DOING it. The 9 Intense Experiences are called experiences for a reason … you are not going to just read about them, feel temporarily motivated, then wander right back into the same-old, same-old of your life afterward. You are going to be DOING things … eight to twelve captivating, enjoyable and easy-to-do actions PER experience, that will therefore effect change and growth at the deepest levels in you.

2) You discover and improve BEST by enjoying what they are doing, as noted above. If you LIKE what you are doing, you are far more prone to care about it, and it is far more likely to “sink into” you. People rarely become good much less great at anything if they can’t stand doing it … but if they love doing it, of course it FEELS natural and easy to delve into. And as so many satisfied listeners – and physicians, therapists, life coaches and other experts – have raved, The 9 Intense Experiences is definitely interesting and enjoyable.

3) New intense experiences are THE essential ingredient to achieving the bottom line of greater happiness … from increasing your daily energy levels, to keeping a sharp, focused and energetic mind, to achieving your biggest goals.

More specifically, various studies have shown new experiences are essential to:

➢ Achieve long-term success in relationships, finances, and career

➢ Eliminate and avoid stress, angst and worry

➢ Increase your daily energy

➢ Wipe out feeling overwhelmed, empty, restless, and frustrated with life

➢ POWERFULLY increase your creativity, mental focus and your memory

➢ Avoid premature aging—both mentally and physically by eliminating anxiety
that leads to disease (and wrinkles etc.)

With all of that in mind, to say that The 9 Intense Experiences is based on a very solid and proven foundation is of course an understatement. You can delve much deeper into some of the key research by reviewing and accessing the Key Resources in the list further below.
