Winning the daily battle for our minds all comes down to the way we think about the world around us. Can positivity really help us live longer? What role does discipline play in suffering? Is it possible to manufacture that flow state to perform at our highest level? The mind architect himself, Peter Crone, joins this episode of The Dr. & The Nurse to talk all things mindset and how to tap into that transcendent state of being human.

For the first part of this episode, David Nurse sits down with Peter to discuss what stands out to him about the mindsets of the greatest performers in the world. Together Peter and David outline the realities (and choices) of suffering, why the stories we tell ourselves about who we are matter, and how to overcome the powerful hold the past can have on us.

During the second half of this discussion on mindset, David takes some of Peter’s insights and breaks them down further with Dr. Daniel Amen—looking at how positive thinking isn’t necessarily always a good thing, and the process of emptying your mind to get into that flow state of performance.
