How To Act With Confidence When You're Drowning In Doubt | Price PritchettLeave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1862 "You get to choose how you behave. The heck with your thinking. Let's say your thinking is what it is, and it's riddled with doubt. You still get to choose how you behave." - Price Pritchett Price Pritchett asks the question that stops most people in their tracks: when you're ravaged with doubt, how do you act like success is certain? His answer flips everything you thought you knew about confidence. You don't wait for your thinking to change. You choose how you behave despite what's happening in your head. He calls it managing your remembering, this practice of deciding which memories get your attention. You can pull up every embarrassment, every humiliation, every time you dropped the ball. Or you can pull up the times you surprised yourself, the moments you did it right, and the wins that proved you had what it takes. We all have two voices competing for airtime inside our heads. The hero voice focuses on your strengths and accomplishments. And the villain voice, the con artist that pretends to protect you while actually keeping you small. That villain voice sounds so reasonable, so concerned. But Pritchett exposes it for what it really is: the critic that raises doubts and focuses on your weak points. Here's where it gets fascinating. Most people think the answer is more positive thinking. But research shows something different. Less negative thinking is where the real power lives. And the kicker? About 70% of your negative thinking goes completely unperceived. It's so embedded in how you move through the world that you don't even notice it operating. Pritchett explains that positive and negative thinking aren't opposite ends of one scale. They're two separate scales entirely. Which means you can keep positive thinking high while systematically cutting down the negative thoughts that sabotage you. It takes practice. It takes discipline to catch that villain voice and shut it up. But every time you choose which internal coach gets the microphone, every time you manage what you remember, and every time you act despite the doubt, you're training yourself in a different way of being. Because the coach closest to you isn't out there somewhere. It's the voice inside your head, and you decide who's talking.

Your Brain On God: The Neuroscience That Proves Faith Heals | Dr. Daniel AmenLeave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1860 "Happiness is a moral obligation. There was nowhere in my childhood that happiness was a moral obligation. It was more about long suffering." - Dr. Daniel Amen Dr. Daniel Amen grew up Catholic, an altar boy taught that faith meant long suffering, not happiness. He was scared of God more than he was connected to Him. Then a cute Army company clerk asked him to take her to church, which turned out to be a wild Pentecostal healing service with speaking in tongues and dancing. That unexpected detour led him to Teen Challenge, working with drug addicts who found staggering success rates when they stopped making recovery about themselves and started making it about their relationship with God. Years later, after becoming one of the world's leading brain scientists, he walked into his own church past tables of donuts being sold to fund ministry. He got angry. Really angry. So he prayed what felt like the stupidest prayer of his life: that God would use him to change the food culture at churches. Two weeks later, Rick Warren, pastor of one of the largest churches in the world, called him out of nowhere and said, "I'm fat. My church is fat. Will you help me?" Fifteen thousand people signed up the first week. They lost a quarter of a million pounds the first year. The conversation reveals something most people don't know: there's hard science behind why faith works. Researchers at Duke have documented that people who attend religious services regularly get better faster when they're sick. They have lower rates of mental health issues. It's not just the community, though that helps. It's the belief itself. Believing you're here for a purpose, that your body is sacred, that you're wonderfully made. Those beliefs create actual neurotransmitter benefits in your brain. Dr. Amen's purpose is to make a dent in the universe by getting people to love and care for their brains, and he's discovered that faith and brain health aren't separate paths. Your health will reflect the health of your ten closest friends. You get better together or you get sick together. This is a conversation about finding purpose in what you thought was your dumbest moment, about how anger at church donuts can become a movement, and about why happiness isn't just a nice idea but a moral obligation.
