The Self-Brain Surgery™ Podcast with Dr. Lee Warren

Reality and Perspective, Even in Our DNA (Wild Card Wednesday)


Listen Later

It's Wild Card Wednesday, and I Have the Flu.

Today, a look at the question of whether "changing our minds" is just another self-help gimmick, or if it's really possible to change our lives by changing how we think. This one gets deep into neurobiology and biochemistry, with some surprising answers! (Some new thoughts on attention, knowledge, and perspective, and a throwback look at gene expression and positivity).

Book mentioned: The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention by Dawson Church

Scripture: II Corinthians 1, 10:5
