Today, Jason is on the Celebrity Apex cruise ship for their Empowered Investor Cruise event, where he talks to one of his guests and Empowered Investor member Winston Templet.  

And In today's 10th episode, Jason welcomes Cass Sunstein, author of "LOOK AGAIN: The Power of Noticing What was Always There," They discuss the concept of habituation and its effects on our perception of stimuli, including the importance of gratitude and the need to dishabituate to maintain a balanced perspective. They also explored the evolutionary significance of the human brain's filtering mechanism and its role in lying, with Cass explaining how the brain becomes desensitized to repeated lying. Lastly, they used the midlife crisis as a metaphor for the loss of color in one's perception of life and suggested that taking breaks can help prevent this.
