Today we have a very thought-provoking episode, where I’m joined by the insightful Asaf Oz for a deep dive into the human mind, emotions, and the journey toward true self-awareness.

We explore how we associate emotions with our identity, our often complicated relationship with anxiety, and how shifting our perspective can turn fear into a source of strength. Asaf shares powerful insights on how our minds project past experiences onto the present, why understanding people’s true intentions can change our reactions, and the profound impact of meditation on expanding awareness.

In this conversation, we also discuss the dangers of living through other people’s experiences, the courage it takes to walk an unconventional path, and the reality that external achievements won’t bring lasting happiness.

Asaf opens up about his own struggles with childhood trauma, the victim mentality it created, and the moment he contemplated suicide - only to realise that meaning isn’t found outside of us but within.

From embracing curiosity and compassion to redefining the purpose of romantic relationships, this episode is packed with wisdom that challenges how we think, feel, and live. Get ready for an eye-opening conversation that just might change the way you see yourself and the world.

Generally, we struggle to understand our emotions and what is really going on - especially as men. We also tend to take life very seriously, which can cause overwhelm and confusion - I really think this episode will help to bring a lot of clarity to those who are struggling.
