The Conquest of Mind is an amazing book written by an equally amazing man: Eknath Easwaran. We use Easwaran's translations for the Bhagavad Gita and The Dhammapada and in this book, he provides all kinds of great ideas on how we can win "the war within." In the Note we'll explore the fact that we don't want to be heroes in the beginning and then sneak out the back door, the fact that we can ALL change, and the miracles that can be created by hard work.

Our guide is the legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Big Ideas we explore include defining true Creativity, focusing our attention and being willing to be kinda weird, the one personality trait all Creators have in common (hint: complexity!), creating rhythms and the nine elements of flow and how to tap into it!

PNTV: You Are the Placebo by Dr. Joe Dispenza (#190) Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

The Placebo effect is a pretty nutty phenomenon. Merely the *belief* that a pill (or surgery) will benefit you can lead to those results--even without the actual pill. In this great (!) book, Dr. Joe Dispenza tells us we can harness that power and shows us how. In the Note we'll have fun looking at how to become the new you as you cross the river of change and become an epigenetic engineer.
