Episode Summary: “Beckie, Bring Me a Better Thought”
In this episode, Bull and JP unpack powerful ideas from Mo Gawdat about unhappiness and the role our thoughts play in how we feel.
They explore how unhappiness isn’t a failure—it’s more like a fire alarm, alerting you that your expectations and reality don’t match. The key is not to wallow in it, but to respond with intention.
The guys break down the three-question method for handling negative thoughts:
Is it true?
Can I fix it?
If I can’t fix it, can I accept it and still move forward?
They also introduce the idea of separating yourself from your brain—naming it (like “Beckie”)—and making a deal: your brain is only allowed to bring joyful or useful thoughts. Anything else? Tell it to bring you a better one.
This episode is all about reclaiming your mental peace, being the boss of your thoughts, and learning to challenge the voice in your head so you can live with more clarity, calm, and joy.
