Podcasts about man thinketh

I had not heard of James Allen before I started exploring this history of self-help. I saw references to his book, “As a Man Thinketh”, which was frequently cited as an influential text around the power of thought on manifesting circumstances. With our “It's the thought that counts” theme in The Haven this month, my curiosity took me into a James Allen rabbit hole. I read three of his books: From Poverty to Power (his first), The Divine Companion (his last), and As a Man Thinketh (his most famous). I wanted to try getting a sense of where he was coming from in his philosophical worldview. He published around twenty books, all written within an eleven-year period, before he died in 1912 at just 47 years old. I do wonder how his ideas would have evolved if he had lived longer. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, I share my response to As a Man Thinketh. I reflect on Allen's ideas and their implications for the way we think about ourselves, one another, and the nature of reality. https://youtu.be/tVtG-Ahrkgw Why Am I Doing This Project? You may be wondering why I'm exploring self-help...Good question. I'm not completely sure. But I think it's because I've felt an intuitive nudge to explore this world and its function in culture. I don't know where it will take me (I have no overriding purpose or vision with it - sorry James!), or what I will find, but I have a sense that there are interesting things to discover by examining, not just the content that is common in the self-help genre, but the role the field plays in how we understand and judge ourselves, others, and the horizons of possibility for the world. As I find in this book, there are some interesting insights and invitations to explore. But it also carries the potential to be understood, embodied, and applied in dangerous and harmful ways, especially when Allen's metaphors are mistaken for literal truths. This is where his philosophy, which initially sounds positive and empowering, becomes reductive and destructive when we examine its logical implications. It demonstrates rhetorical tricks that are echoed in modern-day personal development literature, such as metaphorical literalism. This is where poetic imagery and aphorisms are employed to support and prove otherwise baseless philosophies. How James Allen Described As a Man Thinketh As a Man Thinketh is intentionally short. Allen described it as a pocket book with teaching that all can easily grasp and follow. He said it shows how, in their own thought-world, each human holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into our life. By working patiently and intelligently upon our thoughts, we may remake our life and transform our circumstances. The question I keep coming back to throughout this exploration is, does he mean this as a description or a prescription? And what difference does this make to our reading, interpretation, and application of these ideas? As a Man Thinketh - Notes Thought and Character “A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts." A person is the product of thought alone. The mantra “change your thoughts, change your life” is still repeated as if it were a scientific law rather than a metaphor. The Effect of Thought on Circumstances “Every man is where he is by the law of his being. The thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance.” Prosperity and poverty, joy and suffering, always mirror the state of an individual's mind. The Effect of Thought on Health and Body "The body is the servant of the mind. It obeys the operations of the mind, whether they be deliberately chosen or automatically expressed." Thought is the source of health and sickness. Thought and Purpose “He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.” To avoid suffering,

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits a popular interview with Dr. Dawson Church about his book Bliss Brain and the neuroscience of meditation. They explore how simple, evidence-based practices can quiet the brain's default mode, trigger blissful neurochemicals, and reshape stress and happiness networks. Listeners learn why happiness must be trained, how meditation helps people live more in the present, and practical tips to start a daily meditation practice using guided tools like the free Bliss Brain meditations. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's Episode 369, we are moving forward on our journey of the mind, to our next interview review, with our goal of building off of our past reviews, and sharpening our saw for improved well-being, productivity and success in 2025 and beyond. To review our last 3 episodes, with our interview with speaker Bob Proctor, we learned that “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.” “Devoting a year to developing each one would be time well invested, elevating us to greater heights and setting us apart from others.” Next, we looked at how we need to become extremely clear with our vision of “what we really want” and keep in mind that…. Our External Environment Reflects Our Internal World What exactly does this mean? It means that if we don't like what's happening in our external world—whether it's in our job, relationships, results, or any area of our life—we must first look inward. Our circumstances mirror the beliefs and thoughts we hold within. As James Allen reminds us in As a Man Thinketh: our outer world is always a reflection of our inner state. For today's Episode 369, we'll turn inward—sharpening our inner world so that we can transform the outer one. Today we go back EP 98[i] our interview with Dr. Dawson Church, that was recorded back in December of 2020, where we looked at the science behind implementing meditation into your daily routine. This interview is currently our most watched YouTube interview with over 11K views. This week, in our review of EP 98 with Dr. Dawson Church and his book Bliss Brain, we will explore how meditation can rewire the brain for happiness and presence. We will learn: ✔ Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, we must train our brain to achieve it. ✔ Our brains default to the past or future, constantly scanning for threats, instead of resting in the present moment. ✔ Extreme states of happiness are possible for all of us when we implement meditation consistently. ✔ How to commit to a daily meditation practice using the free meditations that come with Bliss Brain, or explore other guided programs until you find one that resonates with you Just a reminder-Dr. Church is the author of the book called Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity and Joy.[ii] He's an award-winning science writer who blends cutting-edge neuroscience with the stories of people who've had firsthand experience of brain change. Neural plasticity—the discovery that the brain is capable of rewiring itself—is now widely understood. But what few people have grasped yet is how quickly this is happening, how extensive brain changes can be, and how much control each of us exerts over the process of our thinking. It's been almost 5 years since this interview, and it feels like yesterday to me. I remember at the time, one of my dogs was barking in the yard when the landscapers came, and I was worried it would distract our interview. It didn't. I don't even think Dr. Church could hear them. There were also two other things that stuck out in my head from this interview (other than the fact I was wearing glasses trying to prepare for Lasik surgery and couldn't really see the questions) but I'll also never forget that American entrepreneur and biohacker Dave Asprey, who's well known for his interest in helping others achieve these elevated brain states, wrote the Foreword to his book. I also won't ever forget Chapter 1, of Bliss Brain, where Dr. Church shares how he and his wife lost their home and pets in the 2017 Santa Rose Fire, yet they chose to focus on gratitude and rebuilding their lives with joy. This story highlights his teaching that even trained minds struggle under pressure, but with meditation and practice, we can shift into a bliss or flow state. Church's EcoMeditation method, (that he covers in his book) supported by science and praised by Dave Asprey in the Foreword, helps quiet the brain's Default Mode Network[iii] and quickly releases calming, pleasurable chemicals—in as little as four minutes. Dr. Church has a strong following, and there are many powerful testimonials at the start of his book. One we spoke about in our interview was from Toni Tombleson who wrote: After a week of putting out a handful of mini-fires that often accompany the start of a new school year in my world, I can see why these lessons to handling both major life crises and everyday challenges, by learning to cultivate a “Bliss Brain” should remain a top priority for resilience, productivity, and well-being, for all of us.

Historical Context: Dr. Church begins by reflecting on The Buddha, who over 2,000 years ago sought to relieve human suffering. He also reviews other spiritual teachers, including Plato, who grappled with the same question. Biological Explanation: Dr. Church emphasizes that suffering is a biological problem, a feature of how the human brain evolved. How our lives have become easier than they were 2,000 years ago. He explained to me how people are 3x as wealthy now, than they were 40 years ago. In terms of longevity, our lifespans have doubled in the last century. There are many markers like this that show us that we live in a much more secure and safe world than we used to. Key Point: While we live in a safer environment today, than 2,000 years ago, our brains were not designed for where we are today. We are not suffering he reminded me because we are bad people, we lack will, or haven't read enough personal growth books… “We simply didn't evolve to be happy because there was no survival benefit in being happy.”  Tip #1: Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, it's something we must train our brain to achieve. Practical Application: This is the basis of his book Bliss Brain, where he explains how meditation helps us train the brain to reach a bliss or flow state. It's in his book that we learn how to achieve this state that will change not only our brain, (our internal state) but our outer results in our everyday lives. In Chapter 2, he shows us why most people find it so hard to meditate. The difficulty has nothing to do with willpower or intention. It's simply due to the design of the human brain. When you understand this clearly, you'll be equipped to work around it. Chapter 3 describes the ecstatic states that you can achieve in meditation. He examines the regions of the brain that you activate, and what each one does. He also lists the extensive health and cognitive benefits that you get from activating each of those regions. In Chapter 4 you'll hear the story of his own personal failed meditation experiences. He learned many different styles of meditation, but could never establish a consistent practice. His breakthrough came from science. When he combined seven simple evidence-based practices together, found a formula that puts people into deep states automatically and involuntarily. No effort required. When he and his colleagues hook people up to EEGs and MRIs, they find that using these seven steps, even non-meditators get into profound states in less than 4 minutes. Sometimes in less than 50 seconds. Historically, the secrets of these states have been available to only about 1% of the population. Thanks to science, they're now available to everyone. Chapter 5 he goes into the seven neurochemicals of ecstasy. We learn how each one is like a drug that makes you feel good. But combine all seven together, and you have a potent formula that takes your brain into bliss. Meditation is the only way you get all seven at one time. The star of the show is a neurotransmitter called anandamide, aka “the bliss molecule.” When you trigger these ecstatic states daily, they change your brain. Chapter 6 is about the extensive brain remodeling that occurs in seasoned meditators. Stress circuits shrink, while happiness networks grow. But you don't need to be an adept to trigger this rewiring. It begins the very first week you meditate effectively. Chapter 7 is about post-traumatic growth, and how the brains of meditators make them resilient to the inevitable upsets of life. Medical crises and financial disasters included. It provides practical examples of how meditation can make you resilient even during global upheavals like the coronavirus panic that was happening at the time of this interview. Whatever challenges confront us, we will be well equipped to handle large and small life challenges. If we truly want to find happiness, then we will need to rewire our brain to accomplish these states. VIDEO 2 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 2 with the link in the show notes. Question asked: “How can we learn to be more in the present moment, instead of somewhere else?” Dr. Church's explanation: The brain is hardwired to identify threats for survival. Today, most of us don't face immediate threats, but the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN) keeps scanning for danger. Without real threats, it replays past negative experiences (even from years ago or childhood) and projects fear into the future (“what if it happens again?”). This keeps us stuck in the past and future, not the present moment. Monks & meditation: Monks, after years of deep meditation, trained their brains differently. Brain scans showed structural changes—the brain literally began to shrink in areas related to stress and overthinking. Key Point: Our brains are not naturally wired to live in the present moment—they default to the past or future, scanning for threats. Tip #2: Get serious about meditation. Example: Australian astrophysicist & TV journalist Graham Phillips remodeled his brain in just 8 weeks of meditation practice. VIDEO 3 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 3 with the link in the show notes. In this clip, Dr. Church explains how “meditation changes everything” and why “20 years ago, he decided to make this commitment to daily meditation” sharing how his whole world changed after this. These are noticeable changes that were behind his motivation to write this book, Bliss Brain, to show the world how they too can reach these states of extreme happiness. He told us to go back and study historical figures who were clearly in altered states of being, like the Italian Catholic Preacher, Saint Francis of Assisi, who appears in a blissed-out state as we see in a drawing, where it looks like he is communicating with God or something divine. This beautiful blissful state, that goes beyond happiness, is available to all of us. We will cover more about the changes our brains undergo with meditation as we go back to review our interview #28 with clinical professor of psychiatry from the UCLA school of medicine, Dr. Dan Siegel[iv], on a later episode, but for now, we can conclude that we can in fact change our outside world, in a significant and powerful way, by dedicating ourselves to a daily meditation practice. Key Point: We can ALL reach this state of extreme happiness by implementing a daily meditation practice. Tip 3: We can get started with our own meditation practice (if we are not currently implementing one) by using the FREE mediations that come along with the Bliss Brain Book Or use whatever meditation program resonates with you. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION Episode 369 Wrap-Up: Bliss Brain Review with Dr. Dawson Church This week, in our review of EP 98 with Dr. Dawson Church and his book Bliss Brain, we explored how meditation can rewire the brain for happiness and presence. Key Point from Clip 1: Although we live in a safer world than 2,000 years ago, our brains weren't designed for today's environment. “We simply didn't evolve to be happy because there was no survival benefit in being happy.” Tip #1: Since happiness didn't evolve naturally, we must train our brain to achieve it. Key Point from Clip 2: Our brains default to the past or future, constantly scanning for threats, instead of resting in the present moment. Tip #2: Commit to meditation—like astrophysicist and TV journalist Graham Phillips, who saw powerful changes after just 8 weeks of his daily practice that helped him to focus in the present moment. Key Point from Clip 3: Extreme states of happiness are possible for all of us when we implement meditation consistently. Tip #3: Start small. Use the free meditations that come with Bliss Brain, or explore other guided programs until you find one that resonates with you I highly recommend watching the full interview with Dr. Church[v]—especially if you've struggled to stay consistent with your own practice. Even Dr. Church himself shares moments where he lost momentum, which is a reminder that this is a journey for all of us. Personally, I've cycled through different meditation programs—starting with John Assaraf's work, then moving on to Dr. Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness, using Dr. Church's Bliss Brain meditations, and now practicing Dr. Joe Dispenza's chakra-focused work. The program you choose matters less than your ability to make it a consistent daily practice—that's when the real brain changes occur. We'll see you next week as we continue exploring the Journey of the Mind, working on connecting practical science to improve our inner and outer world.

In this Season 14 review (Episode 368), Andrea Samadi revisits key clips from her original interview with Bob Proctor (Episode 66), exploring how frequencies, imagination, and intuition shape our goals and results. We will cover:  Tip #1: How to Understand Frequencies and Levels of Vibration Tip #2: You've Got to Follow Your Heart Tip #3: Your External Environment Reflects Your Internal Thoughts and Mental State   Three takeaways: use your imagination to move to the vibration of your goal; follow your heart as an inner compass; and remember your external environment reflects your internal thoughts and beliefs. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being.

We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results.   For today's Episode 368, we're going back to Episode 66[i]  for PART 3 of our review with the late Bob Proctor—the first person who challenged me to think. We covered in PART 1 EP 366[ii]: ✔ Top Lesson from Episode 66 – Where we refined the question: “What do you really want to do with your life?” hoping that midway through 2025, we can refine our goals, and see if we are on track. ✔ Sage Advice Tip #1: “We have been given the mental faculties to create our own environment. “We explored how to go beyond our five senses and tap into the six higher faculties of our mind (further developing our reason, intuition, perception, will, memory and imagination.” ✔ Sage Advice Tip #2: “There's only one mind.” We looked at how our actions matter because we are all deeply connected. ✔ Sage Advice Tip#3: “We are a soul—we don't have one.” We reflected on the perfection within each of us, and how this perfection continually drives us toward bigger and better possibilities. We covered in PART 2 EP 367[iii]: Sage Tip #4: “If we want to improve our RESULTS, we must focus on the six faculties of our mind—reason, intuition, perception, will, memory, and imagination.”The key is to choose one of these faculties and dedicate time to studying and applying each one until you see real results from your deeper understanding. Sage Tip #5: “Goals are not set to get; they are set to grow.” Reminding us that sometimes goals don't unfold the way we expect, and that's okay—as long as we keep moving forward and growing. To do this, we must keep studying, learning about ourselves, clarifying what we truly want, and seeking specialized knowledge in our field from those who have gone before us. Today, EP 368, PART 3 VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 1 with the link in the show notes. Bob begins this clip by talking about The Law of Vibration and why it's so important to understand how frequencies work. Many of us have heard of this law by now, especially since the movie, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne brought it into the mainstream. But my first introduction to understanding frequencies was back in the late 1990s, when I was teaching in the classroom and picked up Bob Proctor's book You Were Born Rich.[iv] I still remember hiding the book behind my binder during a staff meeting at the Toronto District School Board—I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. That book changed the way I looked at everything. Suddenly, I began to see new possibilities in areas where I might have once been closed off. What captivated me wasn't Chapter 1, Me and Money, or even Chapter 2, How Much is Enough. It wasn't about money for me. What drew me in was Chapter 6—The Law of Vibration and Attraction. In that chapter, Bob shared what he had learned from the late Dr. Wernher von Braun, covering everything from science and religion, to the cosmos, to rates of vibration and frequency. That chapter expanded my mind—it even touched on the connection between the brain and body, a topic that would fascinate me even more 25 years later. It also revealed how powerful positive thinking can be for our health and wellness, while introducing the foundational Laws of Success. I wanted to learn more, so every time Bob held a seminar, I made sure to attend. From spending time in his offices, and sitting in these classes, I began to pick up how to promote these seminars to others, that started with bringing something new home to study each night. Eventually, I started talking to seminar attendees on the phone, explaining Bob's upcoming seminars. On these calls, I discovered what other people were studying. They would ask me, “Who else are you learning from?” and at first, I honestly didn't know anyone else teaching this material. But I listened carefully, wrote down the names they mentioned, and searched for their books at the library—this was long before we could just go online and find everything instantly. Sometimes people would drop off other programs for Bob to review. I remember one day, someone left a cassette tape set at the office and asked me to pass it along to him. Curious, I opened the package and saw the title: “Special Subjects Vol. 1”[v] by Abraham-Hicks, covering The Law of Attraction. I realized that, while not many people knew about this material, those who did were using it to achieve incredible things. On the way to Bob's house that evening, I couldn't resist. I slipped one of the tapes into my car stereo and listened as I drove. When Bob opened the door, the first thing he asked me was, “Did you listen to one of them?” I was stunned—how could he possibly know? I admitted I had and said, “Yes, and the program is really good.” I wasn't sure if I'd get in trouble for listening first, but instead, he later handed the tapes over to me to keep. I must have listened to them more than 100 times. That program led me to Abraham-Hicks' books, audio programs, and seminars—where I met people from all walks of life: pro athletes fine-tuning their mindset, business leaders sharpening their edge, and everyday people like me, hungry to learn and grow. Those cassette tapes opened a door. Each word studied brought me back to that time when I was just beginning to understand this material—discovering a whole world of wisdom waiting to be explored. I will be sure to link other places you can go to learn this topic, if you would like to dive deeper. What helped me the most, was when I saw an image describing these frequencies, or levels of vibration. We've looked at and explored this visual often on this podcast, that matches how Bob explains goals and frequency on the clip we selected. The image shows the Goal (target) at a higher level (the star), with lines representing different frequencies or levels of vibration. The word “DECISION” marks the point where you shift to a higher level to match the frequency of your goal. We learned in this clip that “when we image a goal, what we've done is take our mind off on a trip. And we've gone to a new frequency, beyond where we are living.” We learned that it is our imagination that moves us out of our current state of awareness (or vibration) using the “screen of our mind”—the place where we see and create new possibilities before they exist physically. This “place” isn't physical. It's the inner screen of our mind, the same concept explained in The Silva Method[vi], where you consciously project images, ideas, and goals in mental pictures. That's where creation begins—before it's expressed in the outside world. I've often wondered, “How exactly do we shift to a new level of vibration?” It's not something that's easy to explain until we've experienced it ourselves. Looking back, the path seems clear—just as Steve Jobs once said, “we can only connect the dots backwards.” But moving forward, the process feels less obvious. We move to a new vibration when we're in harmony with what we truly want. A powerful example of this is being in love—when we resonate deeply with someone, we're on the same frequency. At times, this connection runs so deep that we can almost sense each other's thoughts (a kind of telepathic communication). When we share the same frequency, it feels like magic unfolds. The same principle applies to our goals. Once you've decided what you want—whether it's a career change, a relationship, or a new opportunity—you must connect your heart to it. Feel the resonance, and then use your imagination to paint the picture on the screen of your mind. With practice, patience, and belief, you'll one day look back and see there were no limits to what you could achieve. Until that moment comes, keep moving forward, keep growing, and keep reaching for the stars, moving up those levels of vibration or frequency. Sage Tip #1: How to Understand Frequencies and Levels of Vibration “When we image a goal (on the screen of our mind, something that we resonate with) we take our mind on a trip and what we've actually done is gone to a new frequency. We've used our imagination to get there.” If we can see it in our mind, with our imagination, we can hold it in our hand. VIDEO 2 Click Here to Watch Watch video clip 2 with the link in the show notes. There were two important lessons from this clip. Sage Tip #2: You've Got to Follow Your Heart. According to Bob, listening to your "heart" means trusting your intuition and emotional mind to connect with the divine side of yourself. He explained that this "heart" is not the physical organ but the subjective, feeling side of your mind that holds your deepest desires.  I remember after the interview, (back in June 2020) I wrote this on my wall, (you've got to follow your heart) and have used this as a sense of guidance ever since. We learned in this clip that “if you follow your heart you'll never make a mistake, for as long as you live.” Do you listen to your heart? It's this tip that brings us back to understanding frequencies, because when we are listening to our heart, we are paying attention to what we are in resonance with. Our deepest desires that will take us to whatever it is that we REALLY want to do with our life. All of these tips blend, and tie in together, like the colors of the rainbow. Sage Tip #3: Your External Environment Reflects Your Internal Thoughts and Mental State If we don't like what's happening in our external world—our job, our results, our relationships, or any part of our life we've created—we must first look within. Our outer circumstances mirror the thoughts and beliefs we hold inside. In As a Man Thinketh, James Allen reminds us of the power of our mindset: "Mind is the Master power that molds and makes, And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills, Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills— (depending on what we are thinking). He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: Environment is but his looking-glass." The phrase “environment is but his looking-glass” means that your external environment is simply a reflection of your internal thoughts and mental state. The world you experience is showing you what's happening in your mind. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To wrap up this week's Episode 368, PART 3—where we revisited two powerful clips from Episode 66, our interview with Bob Proctor—where we explored three key takeaways: Sage Tip #1: Understanding Frequencies and Levels of Vibration We discovered that there are infinite levels of vibration, and when we align ourselves with the frequency of what we truly want, magic happens. This is how we become one with our goal. There are no limits—only the challenge of using our imagination to bridge the gap between where we are now and where we want to be. Sage Tip #2: Follow Your Heart Listening to your heart means trusting your intuition and emotional guidance to connect with the divine side of yourself. Your heart can serve as a powerful compass to guide you toward the right decisions and opportunities in life. Sage Tip #3: Your External Environment Reflects Your Internal World If we don't like what's happening in our external world—whether it's in our job, relationships, results, or any area of life—we must first look inward. Our circumstances mirror the beliefs and thoughts we hold within. As James Allen reminds us in As a Man Thinketh: our outer world is always a reflection of our inner state. With that thought, I will close out our 3 PART review of EP 66, and hope that calling out these tips that I thought were important will help us all to sharpen our saw, and find ways that we can all move confidently in the direction of whatever it is that we are working on this year, taking us to greater heights. I'll see you next week as we revisit EP 98[vii] with Dr. Dawson Church, an award-winning science writer who blends cutting-edge neuroscience with inspiring stories of people who have experienced brain change firsthand. Neural plasticity—the discovery that the brain is capable of rewiring itself—is now widely accepted. What's less understood is just how rapidly these changes can occur, how profound they can be, and the degree of control each of us has over reshaping our thinking. My goal is that we build on what we uncovered in our review of EP 66—refining the question of what it is we truly want—and then explore how to direct our thoughts inward to create lasting change with our goals and results.

The internet is full of memes about positive thinking. I saw this quote a few days ago:"The only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude." At first glance, it contains some truth. Of course, the way we think about things can influence our relationship with them. But taken too far, this kind of thinking turns into something insidious and destructive. In this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, we explore the darker side of positive thinking. https://youtu.be/E0JCsl_u_7M?si=XAHxf4c2LB578QIr I remember hearing someone suggest replacing 'have to' with 'get to' as a way to live with more gratitude for things we take for granted. Again, that can definitely be a useful reframe at times. But the associated claim that words impact thoughts and thoughts are the only thing that create our reality can quickly become an imprisoning and judgemental superstition. Toxic positivity encourages emotional suppression and shame, where anything other than optimism is considered weakness or failure. You've Only Got Yourself To Blame If we follow the logic that our thoughts dictate our reality to its extreme, we land in a society shaped by what philosopher Byung-Chul Han calls the achievement imperative. In this world, external rules are replaced by internal commands. We no longer respond to "you should" or "you must." Instead, we internalise the injunction to perpetually "live our passion," "find our purpose," and "optimise our potential." Han quotes Tony Robbins, who promotes this mindset by saying,"When you set a goal, you've committed to CANI (Constant, Never-Ending Improvement)! You've acknowledged the need that all human beings have for constant, never-ending improvement. There is a power in the pressure of dissatisfaction, in the tension of temporary discomfort. This is the kind of pain you want in your life." This leads to a permanent state of temporary discomfort. There is always something to optimise, improve, and change. Never rest. Never be satisfied. The Problem With Pathological Positivity Toxic positivity - we might describe it as pathological positivity (though I've seen a book of that name painting it as a desirable state of being, so that's a bit odd)- thrives on the belief that we should reframe negative thoughts. But there is a big difference between resistance and repression. A good comparison comes from Viktor Frankl, the Holocaust survivor, founder of logotherapy and author of Man's Search for Meaning. He wrote:"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way". Choosing Your Response vs Blaming Your Attitude Unlike self-help slogans, Frankl's words do not offer easy comfort. He was not promoting positive thinking. He was describing something he observed in those who were stripped of their humanity and subjected to unimaginable suffering. For Frankl, attitude was not a shortcut to happiness or material prosperity, but a form of resistance and an expression of power over an oppressor. It was a way to maintain dignity in the face of dehumanisation. His message was not about pretending things are okay, but about facing reality with courage and integrity. This contrasts with James Allen's 1903 As a Man Thinketh, often credited with laying the foundation for mindset-focused personal development and the Law of Attraction. Allen writes:"All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.""Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought." These statements are not just simplistic. They can be dangerous. They suggest that all suffering is self-inflicted, that illness, grief,

Send us a textWhat if the very thing you think is helping your business grow is actually holding it back? In this episode, I sit down with David Dial to uncover the surprising truth about control—and why real leaders must break free from it in order to scale. For digital agency owners striving to build a sustainable, high-performing business, this conversation reveals that scaling doesn't come from doing more—it comes from leading differently.We dig into the leadership bottlenecks that silently stall growth: emotional reactivity, fear-based decision-making, and the inability to develop internal talent. If your team can't move without you, this episode challenges the way you lead and offers a practical path toward scalable, self-managing teams. For agency owners stuck in the weeds and craving real momentum—this is the shift you've been avoiding, but can't afford to ignore.Books Mentioned: As a Man Thinketh by James AllenPlaying to Win by Larry WilsonConnect with David Dial:David is launching a new group coaching program to help emerging leaders in established SMBs unleash their team's passion and performance, turning daily challenges into lasting success and well-being.

In this thought-provoking episode, Lindsey Elmore welcomes performance coach Bill Banta to unpack why most self-help strategies don't work—and what to do instead. Bill explores the difference between self-development and developing self, revealing how awareness, energy, and aligned identity are the true drivers of success. You'll hear how repetition rewires your reality, why inner peace leads to outer speed, and how to finally stop consuming information you never implement. If you've ever felt stuck in a loop of doing more but becoming less, this episode offers a grounded, soul-deep reset. This isn't another hustle-your-way-to-happy conversation—it's an invitation to become someone worth following, starting with yourself.

Your mind is like an algorithm. Click on lust, fear, or resentment—and guess what shows up on your mental feed? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Yoga is a way to reset the algorithm, and explore the mind as both a garden and a walled city with guarded gates. Drawing from James Allen's classic As a Man Thinketh and the final verses of King Yayāti's transformation in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they unpack how thought is causal, attention is destiny, and bhakti is the ultimate reprogramming of the heart.

In Season 9, Episode 2 — the second track of the As a Man series, Volume 2, titled “As a Man Thinketh,” Izzy Baker sits down with international bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and mind mapping coach John Diggs for one of the most transformative conversations of the season. Inspired by Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Z, the rapper Future, and the scriptures Jeremiah 29:11 and Luke 14:28, this episode is all about designing your life with intentionality, not chaos. Whether you've ever asked, “Am I supposed to be here?” while stuck in a dead-end job or felt like God's voice went silent, this conversation brings clarity instead of clichés. John shares how hitting rock bottom at his mother's house became the launchpad for his purpose. One book changed everything and led him to create Mappineering, a system he now teaches as a tool for life design, mindset rewiring, and emotional healing. Izzy and John explore what it means to outgrow old versions of yourself. They discuss spiritual burnout, emotional clutter, and the silent anxiety many men carry when their life doesn't align with their identity. This is about breaking mental strongholds, not chasing more success. They also explore how mind mapping improves emotional clarity, reduces stress, and provides a blueprint for career and personal transformation. You'll hear practical insight into how the right questions—who, what, when, where, and why can uncover the path God's been showing you all along. If you've been mentally drained, spiritually numb, or quietly confused about your direction, this episode is your reset button. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

An episode from Ranchero Drive Baptist Church, a Bible believing, Bible preaching church in Kerrville, Texas.What Ranchero Drive Baptist Church (RDBC) Believes: The ScripturesWe believe the scriptures are verbally inspired of God making them the supreme and final authority for our faith and practice, and are preserved in the KJV Authorized Version.  GodWe believe in one God existing in three persons (The Holy Trinity): God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Existing without beginning and without end.  JesusWe believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, Hissinless life, His death on the cross to pay in full the debt for our sins, His resurrection, and His coming return.  The Holy SpiritWe believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, one with the Father and the Son, the indweller of every believer to enlighten and seal each believer until the day of redemption of the body.ManWe believe that God created man in His image in a state ofinnocence, but through temptation, man transgressed and became dead in trespasses and sins. As a result, all men inherited a corrupt nature, are born in sin and are under condemnation. Security of the BelieverWe believe that those who, by faith, receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit, are the children of God, are heirs and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ, are kept by the power of God and can know they are eternally saved forever! Last ThingsWe believe in the imminent, pre-tribulation, pre-millennial return of Christ. The Lord shall return for His church and rapture out the church at any given moment. The world will then enter into a seven-year period of tribulation that will end with the battle of Armageddon and the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. He will come as “King of Kings” and “Lord of lords”, and establish His kingdom that will last for 1,000 years. The Lord will then judge the living and the dead at the Great White Throne Judgement (which is different from the judgement Seat of Christ where the Lord judges the Church). After this, all the lost, Satan, death and hell are cast into the Lake of Fire, while the Lord and His saints enter into “Eternal Bliss”.  You may write to Ranchero Drive Baptist Church at:801 Ranchero Road, Kerrville, TX 78028Have A Blessed Day,Ranchero Drive Baptist Church  The KJV Bible Preaching Churches Podcast is directly supported by Doss Metrics LLC | Ministry Services based out of Cleveland Texas.

If you don't like what is showing up in your life, your business, your organization, and / or your corporation; I strongly recommend you listen to this episode and take action at once.Most of us, on this positive path of personal, professional and leadership development, have heard it said in many different ways; our dominant thoughts create our reality.In fact, the quote for today in my ‘My-Tyme Success Planner' by Paul J. Meyer, the founder of Leadership Management International says this:“You are where you are and what you are because of the thoughts that dominate your mind.”And we read in James Allen's book, As a Man Thinketh:“As he / she thinks, so he / she is; as he / she continues to think, so he/ she remains. The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to their inner state. Men and women do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”So that clearly places the responsibility for the results that we experience on us. We have been conditioned to remain in the energy of the problem and the energy of the results we don't like. We try to find solutions to move out of the hole by continuously focusing only on the hole.There's a better way. Understand how what is showing up in your life is directly related to your thoughts and you will have found the master key to experiencing all you desire to be, do and have; personally and professionally.In this episode and the next few, we'll take deeper dive into the classic work by James Allen; As a Man Thinketh.Listen in now and let's get started together!Dr. Koz (and effect!)Dr. Stephen J.

Episode 25:7 “As A Man Thinketh…” There are many things you can do to be healthy. Things such as exercising, eating right and getting enough sleep and sunlight. However, there is one thing that's even more powerful. Something that will impact your health more than your diet. More than your supplements. More than your exercise routine. And more than any prescription drug you might be taking. It's your thoughts. Your thoughts are powerful… especially the thoughts you have about yourself, your health, and the role of God in healing. Get your thoughts right in these areas and you WILL be healed. You WILL walk in a state of optimal health. The question is HOW? HOW do you get your thoughts right? HOW do you develop a mindset that is aligned with the promises of God? These are questions I tackle on this week's episode. Questions that go deep to the heart of healing. Questions that will help you obtain the health and healing you seek. Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————-  Want to learn more?

https://youtu.be/i4aX0xT53-g?si=36tunNfeIiN1Cs7w Redemption Church - Healthy New Year - 2 - Mental Health Talk   Chris IntroHealthy New Year   Introduction:                       Educational background – Obtained master's in counseling psychology in 2016, Tarleton State University                       Work background – almost 10 years' experience - work with an agency that provides mental health services in individuals across six counties. Have worked extensively with justice-involved population – worked across six different county jails Objective: *Will not be an exhaustive deep dive into all mental health issues… *The purpose of our conversation today is to focus on thoughts/emotional issues that we all face in some way in our daily lives. I've worked with a lot of inmates across many jails who experience the very same thoughts/emotional struggles that we do.  Depression, isolation, anxiety. *Today we will focus on five different areas --  so that we can CLIMB to better mental health in 2025   CLIMB C-Change Your Thoughts Psychological Insights: Author James Allen in his book ‘As a Man Thinketh' states: “As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.” Psychological research confirms this very sentiment. Our thought life is powerful & important – it acts as a steering wheel which can bring us to all sorts of different destinations, bad or good. Discuss Reintegration classes at the jail. There is a big focus on helping individuals identify maladaptive thinking patterns & giving them strategies to dispute and change those thoughts. The ABCs of Thinking is a technique where individuals can gain these new skills. Dr. Albert Ellis developed the “ABCs of thinking” model. This model is used to understand how our beliefs about an activating event influence our emotional and behavioral consequences. ABCs of Thinking A. Activating Event B. Your beliefs about the event. C. Consequences How is it possible that two different people can have vastly different responses to the same activating event?   Bus Stop example –   Failed exam example –   What do I believe about what just happened? After practicing, it is possible to evaluate your belief and reframe in real time to improve the consequence.   It is only fitting that Jim Rohn, an influential motivational speaker and thought leader, once famously said: “No one else ‘makes us angry.' We make ourselves angry when we surrender control of our attitude. Biblical Foundation: What does God say about this?   Allow God to Transform Your Mind Romans 12:2 - “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”   Focus on what is Good-  Philippians 4:8- “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. How easy is it to focus on things that are negative, unwholesome, and distracting? There is power in filling our mind with God's word.   Bring our Thoughts into the Obedience of Christ  2 Corinthians 10:5 -“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,   Stay Your Mind on God Isaiah 26:3  - “You keep him in perfect peacewhose mind is stayed on you,because he trusts in you.     L-Lean Into Your Purpose  Psychological insights: Purpose - Research shows that having a sense of purpose improves mental health, lowers the risk of depression, and enhances overall well-being. An excerpt from The American Psychiatry Association website states: “What is purpose in life? It means having a central, organizing life aim, an overall sense of direction in one's life, and a belief that one's life activities are valuable and important — making a positive mark on the world.1,

Ich freue mich sehr auf unser Gespräch! Mein Name ist Günther Hellberg, und ich bin ein leidenschaftlicher Informatiker, der seit mittlerweile 40 Jahren die IT-Welt mitgestaltet. 1984 habe ich meine eigene Firma, die Professor Hellberg EDV Beratung, gegründet, und seither durfte ich eine Vielzahl an IT-Projekten für große Konzerne wie Volkswagen und Continental, aber auch für Stadtverwaltungen und kleinere und mittelständische Unternehmen (KMU) erfolgreich umsetzen. Erfolgreiche IT-Beratung für KMU und Solopreneurinnen Neben meiner praktischen Arbeit in der IT-Welt habe ich vor über 20 Jahren den Fachbereich Informatik und Wirtschaftsinformatik an einer privaten Fachhochschule aufgebaut, wo ich bis heute als Professor tätig bin. Diese Doppelrolle als Berater und Professor erlaubt es mir, immer auf dem neuesten Stand der Forschung und Praxis zu bleiben und meinen Kunden somit die bestmögliche Beratung zu bieten. Warum KI für Unternehmerinnen ein Schlüssel zum Erfolg ist Ein besonderes Anliegen ist es mir, meine Erfahrung und mein Wissen an kleinere und mittelständische Unternehmerinnen und Solopreneurinnen weiterzugeben, da ich überzeugt bin, dass gerade sie in Deutschland enorm von neuen Technologien, insbesondere der Künstlichen Intelligenz, profitieren können. Deshalb habe ich vor einiger Zeit ein spezielles Beratungsprojekt ins Leben gerufen, das sich genau auf diese Zielgruppe konzentriert. Der Fokus auf KI für Unternehmerinnen und KI für Solopreneurinnen Und warum Unternehmerinnen? Nun, ich habe festgestellt, dass ich besonders gut mit Frauen in Führungspositionen zusammenarbeiten kann. Meine Kombination aus technischem Know-how und einem tiefen Verständnis für zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation, unterstützt durch mein Psychologiestudium, erlaubt es mir, die spezifischen Bedürfnisse von Unternehmerinnen und Solopreneurinnen gezielt zu adressieren und ihnen zu helfen, ihr Unternehmen effizienter und zukunftssicherer zu machen. Wie KI für Unternehmerinnen und Solopreneurinnen unterstützt Am Ende des Tages möchte ich den Unternehmerinnen und Solopreneurinnen, mit denen ich arbeite, dabei helfen, ihre Geschäftsprozesse so zu optimieren, dass sie nicht nur wettbewerbsfähig bleiben, sondern auch in der Lage sind, die Chancen, die die digitale Transformation bietet, voll auszuschöpfen. Ich freue mich darauf, heute mehr über diese Themen zu sprechen und hoffe, dass ich viele Hörerinnen und Hörer inspirieren kann, neue Wege in der Digitalisierung zu gehen. Der größte Fehler als Unternehmer und wie man ihn vermeidet Dein größter Fehler als Unternehmer? Fehler gehören zum Unternehmerdasein einfach dazu, und sie sind oft unsere größten Lehrmeister. Mein größter Fehler – und meine wertvollste Lektion – war es, in den Anfangsjahren zu glauben, dass ich alles alleine schaffen muss. Damals dachte ich, wenn ich alles selbst mache, dann wird es am besten und am schnellsten erledigt. Das führte dazu, dass ich buchstäblich in Arbeit ertrank. Ich habe versucht, Projekte, die Verwaltung, bis hin zur Akquise alles eigenhändig zu bewältigen. Das Ergebnis? Ich war überarbeitet, ständig gestresst und hatte kaum noch Energie für das, was mir wirklich Freude bereitet: das Entwickeln kreativer IT-Lösungen und das Arbeiten mit meinen Kundinnen. Warum Delegieren der Schlüssel für Unternehmerinnen und Solopreneurinnen ist Aber irgendwann habe ich doch verstanden, dass wahres Unternehmertum bedeutet, ein starkes Team um sich herum aufzubauen, die richtigen Aufgaben an die richtigen Leute zu delegieren. Das hat mir nicht nur geholfen, effizienter zu arbeiten, sondern auch mein Unternehmen auf ein völlig neues Level zu heben.   Deine Lieblings-Internet-Ressource?: Wenn ich meine absoluten Favoriten nennen müsste, dann wären das Evernote, ChatGPT Team, EDrawMind, Sessions.us, Communi, WordPress mit der Thrive Suite, und natürlich mein geliebtes iPad Pro.

In this episode of Capital Hacking, Kevin Taylor, delved into the power of mental capital and mindset by discussing key takeaways from the classic book "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen. I highlighted the importance of positive thinking, the metaphor of the mind as a garden, and the impact of thoughts on physical health. I also emphasized the idea that circumstances do not define us but reveal our character, and how thoughts must be accompanied by actions to achieve goals. Additionally, I touched on the significance of having a clear vision and ideals to shape one's life, and the importance of thought control in finding inner peace. Through examples and anecdotes, I illustrated how mindset and psychology play a crucial role in personal growth and success.

There's something that happened and we stop pursuing.” “You've got to continue to date your wife, you have to, and you have to determine what the frequency is for you as a couple... Everything else you do is built around that. It's that important.” “What she cares about more than anything else is the time spent together and sharing what's going on with us on the inside.” “Men, those of you that are married, if you make the kids the number one priority in your life while you're married, you're not going to have a marriage to go back to when they're gone.” “It doesn't take a lot, lot to stay connected.” “If you want to write and take that step with your personal growth, that's how you do it. You just take a step. It could be a half step, it could be inches, but take it and then let it grow and grow and nurture it.” “What people are really looking for is to learn your character ... It's really the interaction with your characters that readers are more interested in.” “Let's break down the walls and just make sure we're using the right people for the right things, regardless of their challenge in one way or another.” “The number one thing I focus on with being around with my wife is being present.” “Leadership for me is about getting people interested, excited, aligned with the vision.” BOOKS MENTIONED: As a Man Thinketh by James Allen (https://a.co/d/ai1bxpt) Books by Stephen Covey Books by Stephen Ambrose SERIES MENTIONED: Band of Brothers  USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.stevenstrattonusa.com  https://www.instagram.com/stevestrattonusa/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ststratton/  https://www.facebook.com/stevestrattonusa  https://twitter.com/strattonbooks  Limited Edition Signed Hardcovers https://www.stevenstrattonusa.com/signed-editions  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com     Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Ever reflected on how jealousy can mask our own potential? In a recent episode of my podcast, I had a heart-to-heart about the illusions of jealousy. Did you know jealousy is often just a scarcity mindset in disguise? It struck me that what we envy in others, often reflects what we believe we can't achieve. Let's shift that perspective together! #MindsetMatters #JealousyIllusion #PersonalGrowth In this podcast episode, Kimberly Spencer, a mindset and communication coach from CrownYourself.com, tackles the issue of jealousy. She shares her own experiences with envy, particularly during her adolescence, and how it impacted her relationships. Kimberly discusses the deceptive nature of jealousy and its roots in a scarcity mindset. She advises listeners to inquire about the methods others have used to succeed, rather than coveting their achievements. By doing so, individuals can determine if they're willing to make similar efforts. Kimberly also touches on the pitfalls of self-comparison and suggests using jealousy as motivation, seeing others' accomplishments as evidence of what's possible. She concludes by encouraging listeners to celebrate others' successes and to view jealousy as an indicator of attainable goals, promoting personal growth. Enjoy, sovereigns!

For thoughts are things, and the Mind is the Builder. But if ye fill thy mind with the cares of the world day by day, ye may not in the moment give the best that is in the life of those that live the Christ-life—even as Jesus gave the new commandment, “that ye love one another.” - Edgar Cayce When we delve into the teachings of Edgar Cayce, one of the first concepts we encounter is the profound nature of thought. Cayce's perspective on thoughts was not merely that they are transient mental processes but that they are potent, living entities in their own right. He suggested that every thought we have is a real thing, a kind of energy, which not only affects us internally but also has the potential to influence the world around us. But what exactly are thoughts? In Cayce's view, thoughts are much more than just products of our brain activity. They are expressions of our deepest selves, encompassing our hopes, fears, aspirations, and even our unseen spiritual qualities. This means that our thoughts are not isolated; they are connected to every aspect of our being. "As a Man Thinketh in His Heart, So Is He" This famous line, which echoes throughout Cayce's readings, encapsulates his view on the creative power of thought. It suggests that our deepest, most consistent thoughts shape who we are, not just metaphorically but in a very literal sense. If a person constantly harbors negative thoughts, their life and health may reflect that negativity. Conversely, positive, constructive thinking can lead to a life filled with positivity and growth. 

No matter the goals we set or the work we do, our negative thoughts can still create roadblocks to success. In this replay episode, Brian examines why we become what we think about and teaches how to develop personal and business philosophies to think more positively and achieve more success.YOU WILL LEARN:· The two most common reasons we're reluctant to change.· The six questions that should define your personal and business philosophies.· The three components that are essential to develop and maintain successful philosophies.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:“The Strangest Secret,” by Earl Nightingale“Treasury of Quotes,” by Jim Rohn“As a Man Thinketh,” by James Allen“Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals,” by Thomas Corley“The Millionaire Next Door,” by Thomas J.
