“What entertains you, trains you.” It’s a pithy quote I’ve repeated often on this show, but there’s also hardcore scientific evidence that proves this phenomenon is true.

For example, in science, there’s what’s known as the placebo effect, and the nocebo effect. Both of these phenomenons prove that your thoughts can alter your reality—both in positive and negative ways. 

Here’s what that means for you in your life: 

You are in the driver’s seat. You have complete control over the experiences you want to have. And the experiences you don’t want to have. You just have to pay attention to what’s training you. 

Take suffering for example. It’s not a fact of life, but it happens. And it’s an option. But most people don’t realize there are other options available too. 

In this episode, we dive into the 8th chapter from my brand-new book, and reveal how much control you have over your thoughts and feelings. And how to pick more positive options instead of drowning in your suffering. 

Listen now.
