Today, I sit down with Levy, author of Soul Setting, to explore a powerful alternative to the mindset-driven culture we constantly hear about. Mr. Levy explains that while society teaches people to “fix their mindset,” real transformation happens from the soul—not the mind. We discuss the difference between the physical world most people live in and the non-physical world within, where peace, clarity, and authentic identity exist. Mr. Levy shares how soul setting helped him overcome alcoholism, depression, anxiety, and decades of suicidal ideation by shifting his focus inward instead of seeking validation or relief from the outside world.
As we dive into his story, Mr. Levy explains how trauma, divorce, addiction, and emotional collapse shaped much of his life. He reflects on the decade he spent drinking to numb pain after his marriage ended and how the energy he was projecting—fear, anger, shame, and guilt—created a cycle of negativity that kept drawing more negativity in. Soul setting changed that pattern. By learning to accept the past rather than repress it, he found the ability to dissolve old emotional triggers, reduce stress, and finally break free from survival-mode living.
We explore concepts from his book, including the idea that people don’t have “problems”—they have situations and circumstances they amplify through the mind. Mr. Levy breaks down how the mind creates fear-based stories rooted in conditioning and how the soul brings acceptance, neutrality, and emotional clarity. He shares how to tell whether someone is in their mind or in their soul, why the ego tries to pull people back into old identities, and how awareness is the first step toward change.
Our conversation goes deeper into addiction, victim mentality, generational blame, and the cultural obsession with trauma labels. Mr. Levy explains why responsibility—not blame—is the foundation of healing, and how accepting “it just is” doesn't mean apathy. Instead, it frees people from drama, resistance, and emotional entanglement so they can begin building a life driven by peace instead of pain. He also shares client transformations, insights from years of research, and his mission to reduce addiction rates and mental-health struggles by teaching people how to align with their soul instead of their wounded identity.
Before we close, Mr. Levy shares that this book is for anyone ready for internal peace—people dealing with addiction, relationship turmoil, anxiety, depression, or a desire to break old patterns and reclaim their life. Soul Setting is a beginner’s guide with depth, clarity, and practical tools for anyone ready to take responsibility, stop repeating the past, and build a life aligned with their highest self.
