| 0:00.0 | Near A.L. We'll come on the show. Thanks, Chris. Great to be back. |
| 0:03.8 | Dude, 2019, episode 104, all the way to now. |
| 0:08.2 | I'm going to take credit for all your success since then. |
| 0:11.5 | It was built. Is that okay? Was I the lucky charm? |
| 0:14.3 | It was built on a foundation of you and indestructible. That's exactly correct. |
| 0:18.8 | New one, all about belief. Why is belief so important? |
| 0:23.6 | Okay, so beliefs turns out to be the lens with which we see the world. And I had no idea how profound this research that's been coming out over the past several years has on our day-to-day lives, how beliefs shape what we see, literally shape what we see. I can show the same exact image to two different people and they will see completely different things. It's called the coffer illusion. You can look at this piece of paper and I can show you to one person based on where they grew up and their priors, their beliefs, and they'll see circles. I can show it to |
| 0:54.5 | somebody else based on where they grew up, they'll see rectangles. It's incredible. Beliefs not only |
| 0:59.6 | shape what you see, not just figure to actually shape reality that you see. They shape what you |
| 1:04.4 | feel, your internal state, and most importantly, they affect what you do. And so everything comes |
| 1:10.2 | upstream from these beliefs. And so you better get these beliefs right if they're going to run your life. |
| 1:16.1 | I think one of the challenges people have when they hear the word belief is it gets perilously close to Rondaburn, the secret manifestation. You know, you've come from a productivity background, same as me, |
| 1:29.6 | kind of hardcore, quite sterile almost in a way, very sort of frameworks, rigid structures. |
| 1:36.9 | Belief sounds very almost whimsical as a topic to get into. |
| 1:42.2 | You know, that is a great point because there is a lot of bullshit out there. |
| 1:48.6 | And so part of what I wanted to do with this research that I've done over the past six years for Beyond Believe was to really separate what works and what doesn't. |
| 1:56.3 | And a lot of it, frankly, I'll give that crowd some credit. |
| 1:59.7 | A lot of it works, but not for the reasons |
| 2:01.5 | they say it does. I hate to burst anybody's bubble, but no, nothing is, is vibrating and |
| 2:10.3 | quantum whatevering and like the universe really doesn't give a shit. It is not, you know, |
| 2:15.3 | all the the manifesting stuff. It can work kind of. And I do dive |
| 2:21.5 | into some research around how it turns out positive thinking can have a very negative effect |
