Summary

You probably already accept the idea that not all of your thoughts are true. With that in mind, what should you believe? On this episode, I explain why no one can tell you want to think and share a quite counterintuitive framework for evaluating thoughts and deciding whether you want to believe them. I then show you how you can come up with your own new helpful thoughts that are in line with your goals.

0:44.6	fuck remember what they want me doing. Remember to manage their minds when they're not listening to
0:50.2	the podcast. You can't list the podcast all the time. So it's going to be like a little free way

1:43.2	to being a law professor. I was an academic to a life coach. One of the which people have that
