Summary
Today's episode is a hybrid - part book club episode, part manifesto on your ability, independent of all circumstances, to create change.
I read an amazing book called You Are The Placebo and it came to mind immediately when I got a couple of critical comments about episode 490 of the podcast. That episode garnered over 400 emails, text messages, direct messages & social media comments from people who found it helpful and inspiring. It also garnered two critical comments from listeners. Both felt they needed to inform me that depression isn't a choice. Interestingly, I agree and never said it was. I do, however, believe that in every circumstance, we DO have power to create change.
That is what we are diving into, especially the science behind our thoughts, in today's episode. This is, without question, one of my favorite recent episodes! Don't miss it!

| 0:51.0 | Hello everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:57.0 | Thank you so much for joining me for today's episode. I have to say that I think this episode, 492, |
| 1:03.0 | is going to be one of my favorites in recent memory. And it's a bit of a hybrid episode. |
| 1:10.0 | And I'll tell you why. It's part book club episode. I've done a handful of book club episodes where I share my thoughts |
| 1:18.0 | from a book that I particularly loved. I think I started way back in episode before 150. |
| 1:23.0 | Maybe it was 137 with the book Always Hungry. Loved that book. |
| 1:28.0 | And I don't talk about a ton of books here on the podcast because I have a book club within the Primal Potential Masters Club. |
| 1:35.0 | And so a lot of my favorites are discussed within that. But the reason I'm doing this today is because a couple of comments, literally, a couple to, |
| 1:46.0 | a couple of comments on episode 490 reminded me of a book that really shifted my perspective. |
| 1:54.0 | I read a book called You Are the Placibo a While Back. And when I got these two comments related to episode 490, |
| 2:02.0 | I went online, downloaded the audio book, and listened to it a second time through. I read the hard copy the first time, |
| 2:09.0 | listened to it the second time through. And I wanted to merge these two topics together. |
| 2:16.0 | One being the critical feedback of episode 490 and two being the real power that we all have to create massive change by changing how we think about things. |
| 2:31.0 | So I don't want this to come across in any way as an episode in defense of 490. I think you will see that's not where I'm going with this. |
| 2:41.0 | But really in defense of our ability to create change even when it feels hard to create change. |
