Summary

Dr. Michael Gervais often skipped school to do something he was actually good at: surfing. But performance anxiety would overwhelm him when he had to compete with an audience watching. One day, a competitor challenged him to stop thinking about everything that could go wrong. Michael took his advice, and just like that, he could perform. That was the beginning of his interest in the mind. Today, he helps star athletes and professionals to hack their minds and perform at their peak. In this episode, Michael helps us understand why we value other people's opinions over ours. He also shares powerful techniques for harnessing the power of the mind.
