Hi, welcome to Personality Hacker. My name is Joel Mark Witt.

And I'm Antonio Dodge and in this week's podcast we're going to talk about

rules, personal rules, rules that we create ourselves that inform

how we believe reality should work.

Those are personal rules.

And not too long ago, I was going through Tony Robbins or Anthony Robbins book,

Awaken the Giant Within, writing down all of the maps and models that I found in that book.

And I came up with 25.

There's 25 different models that he goes over

in the book, Awake and The Giant Within,

which by the way is a brilliant book if you've never read it

I'm pretty sure I miss some too I'm pretty sure there's probably more than 25 models

but one of them that really stood out to me was the model that he has around personal rules.

And in particular, why we create them and what they do for us, Like how our personal rules can either inform

whether or not we have a happy existence

or a miserable existence.

And what an empowering or a disempowering personal rule is.

So I wanted to talk about that model a little bit.

Basically go over these concepts of,

like, are some of my rules actually not working for me are there rules that I have

that I don't even recognize our rules about my reality and maybe just do a little bit of a

deeper dive into that concept.
