In this episode Dr. Jeff and Jim navigate the truths around challenges, contrast, struggle, and acceptance. Why are they important to our growth and evolution? How do they keep us focused? When does a challenge become a struggle? How do we navigate our experiences with these concepts and feel connected and on purpose? Join us as we explore these questions and so much more. NOTE: this was such a powerful topic that we did not spend much time on Acceptance. We will dive into those Truths in our next podcast.

Part of the discussion is a review of the experiments that took place from the 1950's to the 1970's called "Mouse Utopia". We discuss how these experiments further our understanding of the actual need for contrast and challenge in our lives.

Here is a link to the 25 minute YouTube video "The Mouse Utopia Experiments/ Down the Rabbit Hole" by Fredrik Knudsen.
