What’s the most fundamental rule you should adopt in life?

Here it is: Rule Number 1 Stand up straight with your shoulders back.

It may sound comical and innocent but it actually has a profound impact on your overall experience of reality.This is not some self-help positive thinking bullsh#t but it’s programmed into your physiology and psyche.

Jordan Peterson who’s a Canadian clinical psychologist at the University of Toronto talks about this in his latest book The 12 Rules of Life: An Antidote to Chaos. 

Rule Number 1 Stand Up Straight With Your Shoulders Back is a meditation on the habits and dominance hierarchies of lobsters that can apply to humans as well.

That's the topic of today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm Siim Land and our guest is the human psyche...and some lobsters...

Topics discussed:

Why you never want to be a sad losing lobster

How to improve your neurochemical state of mind

What's so profound about standing in a confident position

And much more...
