Episode #8: Making Nonsense of Reality

I’m Willie Horton and I’m a psychologist - from Dublin Ireland, living in the French Alps - each week we explore how to change the way you think and... change your life.
Cognitive psychology and neuroscience provide the evidence that anyone - that means you! - can take charge of how the mind works, restructure the brain's key components and... change your life.
The really cool news is: what you need to do to change your life is breathtakingly simple and you'll find your health, wealth, fitness, wellbeing, happiness and peace of mind simply flow when you're flowing in the moment.
And you can get involved too - we can start talking in my private Facebook Group called… To Succeed… Just Let Go - just let go here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/100414346687833
