Summary

In this powerful episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles sits down with Joseph Nguyen, author of the international bestseller Don't Believe Everything You Think, to explore the hidden battle between your thoughts and your true self. Together, they unpack why inner peace isn’t something you stumble upon—it’s something you must consciously fight for.

Joseph shares his personal story of chasing external success, hitting rock bottom, and discovering that true transformation begins by letting go of the thoughts that keep us stuck. The conversation delves into the root causes of mental suffering, the illusion of identity, and the myths around happiness and success that dominate modern life. With clarity and compassion, Joseph reveals how inner stillness and self-awareness can lead us out of anxiety, burnout, and overthinking—and into a life aligned with purpose, presence, and peace.
