In this week's episode, we're back to talking about the tenets and principles of Clean Thinking and we're doing so via our first discussion of a specific influence: our self-interest, the King of the Lizard Brain. The episode begins with an overview of the influence, its evolutionary roots, and the many ways it can influence our thinking, from fight-or-flight survival responses, to defense of our beliefs. Oh yes, it's involved in everything. Host Mike Marcella then walks through some ways we might go about managing specific examples of self-interest-driven thinking through Clean Thinkers' methodologies. Some of these examples of (maybe not such great choices) are sure to leave you shaking your head, enraged, or a touch of both. Either way, this episode is not to be missed if you're interested in the journey to Clean Thinking!
