All opinions are not created equal. Knowing who to lean on for advice is a crucial skill to learn. Also, knowing when to ignore an opinion all together is equally as important. While someone may care about you dearly and want what’s best for you, they might also do what’s necessary in their eyes to protect you from failing. And sometimes that means talking you out of taking a “risky” path in life. Here’s what we talk about…

• What to look for in a good opinion…
• Why your friends and family may be trying to sabotage you…
• How to know when to ignore an opinion all together…
• What questions to ask when people are giving their opinions…
• Much more!

We get what we deserve in life. But many of us think we deserve more than we get. That’s because, somewhere along the way, society has fallen under the delusion that all outcomes should be equally dispersed no matter the effort. It’s not fair that some people have 6 packs and others don’t, we say. It’s not fair that some people have a million dollars and other people are broke, we say. But is that really true? Or are we simply fighting a natural law that can’t be overcome? Here’s what we talk about…

• Why participation trophies have made us weak…
• What evolution can teach us about effort and hard work…
• How the animal kingdom shows us that earning your way is necessary…
• Why white guys don’t play in the NBA…
• Much more!

We’ve become accustomed to letting other people or other things make decisions for us. We let our doctor tell us what to do about our health. We let our boss tell us what to do about our career. And we let our phone tell us what to pay attention and what to believe. We’ve essentially lost the ability to make any critical judgments or to have a conversation with someone that disagrees with our beliefs. And yet critical thinking could potentially save your life. Which is why we’re spending today’s episode figuring out why it’s important and what we can do about it. Here’s what we talk about…

• What is critical thinking all about?
• How low-level thinking impacts our daily living…
• Why our need to look and act consistently is holding us back…
• How we look at the most complex ideas as the most likely to work…
• Why you should assume you’re wrong in any argument…
• Much more!

There’s a dangerous path that many people take when it comes to dealing with circumstances. They come to resent hard circumstances because they THINK those circumstances have done them wrong. The feeling of resentment is a very selfish feeling. One that feels good in the moment, because you get to lay blame on someone or something else for your shortcomings. But also one that leads to a very dangerous place of self-pity and inferiority. That’s not what you want if you’re going to thrive in life. Here’s what we talk about…

• Why we use resentment to make ourselves feel better…
• How we use resentment to justify our shortcomings and failures…
• The dangerous, slippery slope of resentment…
• How resentment will deteriorate your identity…
• How to let go of resentment and take control of your life…
• Much more!

In today’s society, we spend a lot of time ignoring important information. We ignore the important things going on around us so we don’t have to think it. And we ignore the ramifications of our own actions so we can act clueless to the consequences. Which is fine, right? After all, as the going goes, ignorance is bliss. But is it really true that being and staying ignorant about certain outcomes and topics makes you…more blissful? That’s what we discuss in today’s FACT or FICTION episode. Here’s what we talk about…

• Why we avoid information that lets us know the circumstances of our actions…
• Why we switch to a more altruistic decision after we’ve made a selfish choice…
• The worst kind of evil to fear…
• How to look outside yourself to contribute to humanity…
• Much more!

Today’s Good Wolf Books episode covers the book The Scarcity Brain by Michael Easter. In the book, Michael suggests that our “craving mindset” is captured by a process that he calls the Scarcity Loop. The loop is a sequence of events that hooks your brain into wanting more of the ting you’re doing (think gambling, shopping, and scrolling). Today we talk about 5 ideas from the book to help optimize your life and bring you closer to the excellence that you’re after. Here’s what we talk about…

• How we are biologically wired for scarcity…
• Why living in abundance is so dangerous for our health…

• Why you need to build in optimal stimulation for your body…
• Why macros don’t make you fat…
• How the internet is making you dumb…
• Much more!
