In 2024, the world seems to be oversaturated with the mental equivalent of junk food. Between the internet and social media, the average attention span of a given individual is getting shorter and shorter as they are exposed to a veritable glut of short-form content that generates a cheap dopamine hit in a minimal amount of time. But to paraphrase the great George Lucas, this is the pursuit of “pleasure,” not the pursuit of “joy.” Pleasure is short-term, immediate, and leaves you feeling empty inside. Joy is long-term, long-lasting, and fulfills you on a fundamental level. The art you interact with changes you on a foundational level. A new book, Quantum Accountability: The Proven Playbook to Master your Mindset, Unlock Extraordinary Success, and Transform Your Life and Business, written by Dr. Kevin Kremer and Kelley Kremer, M.Ed., is here to help you realize how to tap into the true power to revitalize your life.
A thought leader who sees his role as someone who “provides impact for people based upon where success comes from and how to develop their mindsets to become the best versions of themselves in their lives,” Dr. Kremer, alongside his wife, Kelley, heads the Kremer Leadership Institute. He and Kelley believe that we’re all on a journey in our lives, crusading to be the best version of ourselves and to reach our highest potential. Quantum Accountability is what they call a “business entrepreneurial self-help book” that provides readers with a roadmap to achieving the best results from their own lives.
The Kremers refer to Quantum Accountability as the foundation of the success of the “Quantum Awareness Model.” The term quantum comes from the roots of terms like ‘quantum physics’ or ‘quantum mechanics,’ in which the word quantum refers to an extremely powerful energy that is unseen by the human eye. As Dr. Kremer explains, “Quantum means there’s something there, but we can’t get a grasp on it.” Then accountability comes from ownership and taking responsibility. Thus, the driving force behind the Kremers’ book is to encourage readers to take ownership of those unseen things that develop and mold their mindsets. In doing so, you become an active player in the development of your own mind.
In Dr. Kremer’s view, one’s mindset (referred to as a ‘mindset star’) is impacted by these quantum factors on a daily basis: podcasts, music, books, movies, and so on. If the art you are engaging with is meaningful and cultivates joy rather than pleasure, it serves to strengthen your mind and ‘mindset star.’ In their words, “That stuff that we feed our mind builds our mindset, which is who we become, and that’s the foundation of what we do. That becomes the action steps we take. It’s the foundation of these choices, decisions, and habits.”
In this way, the Kremers’ book looks to not only actively cultivate joy in its audience but also help teach people how to look for more substantial, meaningful interactions with the art and world around them on a daily basis. Kelley concludes, “The mindset star, which we have developed, is continual because everything impacts everything else. The star has thoughts, beliefs, virtues, attitudes, and feelings, and all five things are constantly interacting with each other and impacting our mindsets.”
