In today’s episode, we discuss:
- Discover What Expansive Thinking Can Do For You - Chad shares the childhood influences that sparked his curiosity about the universe and life's broader questions. Listening to him, I saw life through his eyes, opening me up to think differently. I’m curious if you will have the same experience.
- Our Brain Rewards Us For Almost-Winning Behavior - Chad explains that our brains are wired to give us a neurochemical reward—specifically, a dopamine rush—not just when we win, but even more so when we almost win. He calls this the "near win" effect. Using the example of a slot machine, he describes how getting two out of three matching symbols (almost winning) triggers more dopamine than a real win. shedding light on why we often start but don't finish tasks.
- Navigate Emotional Challenges with Emotional Sobriety - The concept of emotional sobriety emphasizes the importance of processing and learning from emotions. This can help you better manage your emotions and align more deeply with your true selves.
- Reframe Addiction as Reinforced Behavior - When Chad shared this, it took me a moment to understand what he was saying—interesting and thought-provoking. Have a listen to see if it resonates with you.
