The only logical extensions of this are that you have earned nothing.

You are entitled to absolutely nothing more or less than any other person out there.

Your needs, your pains, your desires deserve no more

consideration than any other human on this planet. And then as long as we're at

it, number two, hating somebody for anything makes as little sense as hating an earthquake. Okay, welcome back, or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I am your host, Dr. Michael Jervay,

by Trade and Training, a high-performance psychologist.

And I am so stoked to welcome a thinker that I have had the highest regard for.

And I've been wanting to have this conversation for a very long time.

He is a rich thinker, he's funny.

I just can't wait to introduce him to you.

And so, like, just start it this way.

If you had a bowl of M&M's and a bowl of kale in front of you,

which one would you choose if you wanted to choose health?

Okay, well, our guest today believes that you wouldn't actually have a choice at all.

Today's episode is with Dr. Robert Sopolsky.

He is a renowned professor of biology, neurology, and neurosurgery at Stanford University.

And his expertise on topics such as stress and free will and the intricacies of human biology and behavior, it's remarkable how deep he can go, how

light and available he can make the information, and throughout his career he's penned several best-selling works of non-fiction,

including in 2017, a New York Times bestseller.

It's called Behave.

It's amazing.

I mean, this book is deep and it's rich and there's so much humor in it. I think it's foundational. I think it's foundational for our entire community to read this book and I don't want to put it up on too much of a pedestal, but I really think that it's a meaningful book for you to read if you are interested in how psychology, behavior works together for a better life.
