Welcome. I'm Kevin Miller. This is a podcast to elevate your experience of life, an experience you're creating.

In this episode, the brain science of perception. I give a lot of devotion to how we perceive reality and our emotions and our identities.

I find it's not what we perceive so much, but how we perceive that makes a difference in the satisfaction of our lives. So in this episode,

I sat down with business mentor Michael Hyatt. I've known Michael for many years. He and my father were close friends. Michael actually

flew down to Florida with Dave Ramsey to visit my dad in his last days on Earth. I was grateful to be

there with them all. Michael truly has become a mentor to so many of the influential people I know in business and self-improvement

space. A lot of people I've had on this podcast, and he's known for just tremendous discernment

and insight into the root issues of success on many facets. I've had him on the podcast by four or five

times. But this time we talked about the message in his book,

Mind Your Mindset, the science that shows success starts with your thinking. We discussed the

predominant cultural concepts on reality and how much of what we want to claim is objective

reality is not. It's what we believe to be true and much of what we want to claim is objective reality is not. It's what we believe to be true

and much of what we want to be true. But it's often not. It's what we believe again. And we really

want it to be. But we have to admit, okay, it's not. Maybe a good bet, but it's not actual reality.

The point is not to prove your reality is wrong, but to help us all be more mature and constructive with what we perceive or what we think we perceive.

And also better understand other people and their own efforts to cope with their perceptions and our ability to connect with them if we don't perceive

the same things. So again, this book, Mind Your Mindset, that's our focal point. And here's my

conversation with Michael as we discuss how the brain and our perception actually works and how to really leverage it to the best

benefit of all considered.
