It’s easy to go along with the idea that what you believe is “true” is something you’ll act on. What you may not have considered is that you’ll also act on lies. This episode reveals three that have the potential to impact your life in ways you may never have considered. The good news is that there’s something you can do about that! And it definitely starts with being aware of just how sneaky these little lies can be.

Pain is that thing you probably avoid like the plague. When the most common kinds hit you, you’re anxious to find a way to alleviate them ASAP. Except for one kind. Ignoring it or pretending it doesn’t exist only increases its devastation. Listen to consider where you are suffering from this kind of pain and what to do about it. There’s also a celebratory shout out to our Founding Fathers for their wisdom and courage in dealing with all three kinds of pain.

Episode Summary

If even the thought of being bored makes your head hurt… you’re not alone.

It is highly likely that your brain senses boredom as something to be avoided at all costs.

But your unwillingness to allow yourself to BE bored is having more of a negative impact than you may realize.

This episode reveals the benefits of boredom, why you may be avoiding it and how to shift from seeing it as a “problem to be solved” to a valuable way to allow space in your life as a pathway to imagination, innovation and peace.

Why is that in a world where “information is king,” and readily accessible to all, living with peace is more of a joke than a reality?

As people are “consumed with consuming more,” we are producing a society of individuals who exhibit high agency like never before but that sits right next to high anxiety like never before.

This episode suggests six tips to help yourself and others (particularly those in Gen Z) to engage in different ways that ease the anxiety and produce better results for all concerned.
