Drawing from the teachings of monks, meditation practices, and Buddhist fables, the episode provides actionable strategies for mitigating the impact of overthinking.    These include labeling thoughts, understanding the concept of the 'two arrows' of suffering, recognizing the imagination spiral, and practicing the space between stimulus and response.    Listeners are encouraged to practice mindfulness and adopt non-reactivity to lead a more peaceful and powerful life.   More About Topics Covered:   00:00 Introduction to the Thought Trap 01:22 Understanding Thoughts vs. Thinking About Thoughts 02:26 The Two Arrows: Pain and Suffering 03:37 The Monkey and the Storm: Observing Thoughts 04:43 The Imagination Spiral: Fiction vs. Reality 06:28 Viktor Frankl's Gap: Choosing Your Response 07:34 Practical Tips for Managing Thoughts   You can find blog posts and new episodes here:  https://atresilience.com/   Exciting news!

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen reflects on how summer offers something we rarely make time for: space. Drawing on a favorite quote from Viktor Frankl, he explores why creating margin in our days—especially in dentistry—is key to better decision-making, growth, and avoiding burnout. If you've been feeling stuck in reactive mode or craving clarity, this is your gentle reminder to pause. Take 15 minutes today to do nothing—and see what rises to the surface.

Mike "C-Roc" welcomes mindset and mental wealth coach Kaylor Betts for an unfiltered, deeply introspective conversation about personal transformation, self-awareness, and doing the hard work required to reach your highest self. Kaylor opens up about his battle with anxiety, depression, and the daily struggle to even get out of bed—a time in his life marked by unconscious decision-making and emotional pain masked by comfort-seeking behaviors. But everything changed when he had what he calls an “awakening”—a realization that he is not the stories in his mind, but the observer of those thoughts. Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl, Peter Crone, and Tony Robbins, Kaylor shares how reclaiming that space between stimulus and response helped him break free from destructive patterns and take full ownership of his life. Together, Kaylor and Mike "C-Roc" explore the power of binary decision-making, the importance of aligning daily choices with long-term values, and how choosing the hard path often leads to true liberation. Raw, real, and thought-provoking, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to wake up, take control, and build a life worth getting out of bed for.Website-https://theawbiz.com/ Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/awakeandwinning/?hl=en / https://www.instagram.com/thekaylorbetts/?hl=en

En este episodio exploramos la vida y legado de Viktor Frankl, psiquiatra y sobreviviente del Holocausto, autor del influyente libro El hombre en busca de sentido. A través de su experiencia en los campos de concentración nazis, Frankl desarrolló la logoterapia, una corriente psicológica centrada en la búsqueda de sentido como motor principal de la vida humana. Reflexionamos sobre cómo su visión puede ayudarnos hoy a enfrentar el dolor, la incertidumbre y la falta de propósito. ¿Puede el sufrimiento tener un significado? ¿Y cómo encontrarlo?

Your twenties are supposed to be “the best years of your life,” right? But no one tells you how confusing, overwhelming, and straight-up weird they can be. There are things we only learn the hard way, sometimes after a few missteps, sometimes after a full-on identity crisis in a grocery store parking lot.

Déjame tu comentarioEn este episodio nos adentramos en una de las grandes preguntas éticas de nuestra época: ¿somos verdaderamente libres cuando simplemente hacemos lo que queremos? Con la ayuda de pensadores como Viktor Frankl y Fernando Savater, exploramos qué significa la libertad desde una perspectiva filosófica, espiritual y práctica. Descubrimos que la libertad auténtica no es ausencia de normas, sino la capacidad de elegir con inteligencia, responsabilidad y propósito.A través de ejemplos reales, históricos y cotidianos —desde Jesús de Nazaret hasta Rosa Parks—, reflexionamos sobre cómo nuestras decisiones construyen o destruyen nuestra humanidad. Un episodio que mezcla profundidad, claridad y toques de humor para ayudar a repensar lo que realmente significa ser libre en medio de una cultura que confunde libertad con impulso o placer inmediato.Ideal para quienes quieren vivir con más conciencia, madurez y sentido.Redes sociales: saulmarrerorivera (Facebook e Intagram)Correo electrónico: notasdefeyvida@gmail.comDirección postal: 189 Ave Las María apart 305, San Juan PR, 00927-4325Música: bensound.comAudio: youtube.com/popevideoSupport the show

Wat als je leven niet is geworden wat je hoopte? Je kreeg geen kinderen. Je relatie staat op losse schroeven. Je bent vijftig en voelt het gemis van wat had kunnen zijn. In deze aflevering beantwoorden David en Arjan een ontroerende luisteraarsvraag van Jan over levende rouw: het verdriet om onvervulde verlangens, het verlies van toekomstbeelden, en de angst om opnieuw te beginnen. Hij vraagt: Hebben jullie advies voor iemand die rouwt om onvervulde verlangens, bang is voor verlies en zoekt naar een nieuw begin in zichzelf?Hoe blijf je overeind als je droom uit elkaar valt? Hoe laat je los wat nooit werkelijkheid werd, en vind je toch richting in jezelf?Aan de hand van inzichten uit Een Cursus in Wonderen en het werk van Viktor Frankl verkennen David en Arjan:Waarom je pijn voelt om wat nooit was en hoe je daar liefdevol mee omgaat.Hoe je het verleden kunt herzien zonder jezelf te verliezen.Wat het verschil is tussen pijn en lijden en hoe je daar zelf invloed op hebt.Hoe schoonheid, waardigheid en aanwezigheid je kunnen helpen betekenis te hervinden.Luister ook en laat weten wat jou raakte.Shownotes:Leuk als je reageert op de podcast onder deze aflevering, via youtube, via onze socials, of onze Academy.❓ Stuur jouw vraag in!Onze programma's:✨ Miracle Roadmap (met speciale aanbieding voor podcast luisteraars)

This episode is me trying to figure out what it really means to belong, especially in a world that rewards performance and perfection. I talk about loneliness (the quiet kind that sneaks up on you even when you’re surrounded by people), the difference between being visible and being known, and why showing up for yourself, flaws and all, is the real act of connection. There’s some philosophy (Simone Weil, Viktor Frankl, Kierkegaard, you know… casual), some internet culture unpacking, and a Tamagotchi that desperately needs discipline in the middle of it all. If you’ve been feeling kind of off, kind of disconnected, or just want to feel a little less alone in the mess of figuring it all out: this one’s for you. Thanks for being here.

El Hombre En Busca De Sentido de Viktor Frankl

Hey friends, Chase here. Ever feel like your mind is all over the place? Emails. Notifications. News. Noise. We live in a world designed to hijack our attention, and it's working. Attention Is a Superpower In a world this noisy, your ability to focus isn't just helpful. It's everything. Viktor Frankl found purpose in the darkest of places by choosing where to direct his mind. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi discovered flow while surviving war by focusing on a single game of chess. Louis Zamperini endured torture by turning his attention toward faith and forgiveness. These weren't magic tricks. They were choices. Repeated. Intentional. Life-saving. What You Focus On Becomes Your Life Science backs it up. As Dr. Andrew Huberman says, “The ability to focus and direct one's attention is the distinguishing factor between those who will succeed and those who won't.” That's not just about work or goals. That's about everything. Your relationships. Your health. Your sense of self. Because attention doesn't just shape what you see. It shapes who you become. Train Your Attention Like Your Life Depends on It You don't have to escape to the mountains or delete every app on your phone. You just have to start noticing where your attention goes, and gently bring it back to what matters most. Ask yourself: What am I really focusing on right now? Is it helping me or draining me? What would happen if I chose differently? Your attention is yours. Don't give it away without a fight. Until next time, stay focused and stay free.

This episode dives into the brutal, mind-altering experience of spending 60 days alone in Antarctica, and how extreme suffering became a catalyst for spiritual awakening, peak performance, and deep inner peace. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with elite adventurer, Marine Corps veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, who dragged a 420lb sled solo across Antarctica in a brutal test of endurance, fasting, and spiritual transformation. Akshay shares how he used suffering as a tool to transmute PTSD, expand consciousness, and awaken what he calls the “paradox of oneness”—where discomfort unlocks the deepest joy. Together, they explore how cold therapy, isolation, and extreme hardship reshape dopamine, mitochondria, neurochemistry, and the stories we tell ourselves. Akshay's journey through darkness retreats, trauma healing, and polar expeditions opens a raw and unfiltered look at self-quantification, mental resilience, and human performance at the edge. This episode will challenge your assumptions about comfort, suffering, and what it means to live fully awake. Whether you're optimizing for longevity, exploring consciousness, or breaking free from invisible scripts, this conversation blends science, spirituality, and hardcore biohacking with moments of unexpected humor and wisdom. You'll Learn: • How intentional pain resets your dopamine response and boosts performance • Why Akshay chose fasting and cold exposure over nootropics and psychedelics • How darkness retreats and solitude sharpen consciousness and intuition • The neuroscience behind pain, trauma, and transformation • Why true freedom lies in facing discomfort—not avoiding it • How to find God in suffering and create meaning from chaos Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Viktor Frankl once wrote, “Those who cannot find a deep sense of meaning distract themselves with pleasure.” It's a quote that resonates deeply within the Stoic tradition. The Stoics, much like Frankl, warned against the unmoderated pursuit of indulgence. Pleasure, entertainment, materialism—these things are not inherently wrong, but when used to fill a void of meaning, they become distractions. And distractions, by their nature, pull us away from our true purpose.Yet, there's an intriguing inversion of this quote—one that opens the door to deeper reflection. Chris Williamson, host of Modern Wisdom, proposed it: “Those who cannot find a deep sense of pleasure distract themselves with meaning.” At first glance, this seems to oppose Stoic thought. But when we dig deeper, we find that it holds an important truth for those of us on the path of self-improvement.This podcast is listener-supported; if you would like to support the Strong Stoic (as well as gain access to exclusive content), you can do so on Patreon or Substack:Patreon: www.patreon.com/brandontumblinSubstack: https://strongstoic.substack.com

Of course, there's no single answer to that question - there are countless factors and variables. But with that in mind, Bobby and I had a chat about one of our favourite books (and one of the most influential psychological books of the 20th century): ‘Man's Search for Meaning’ by Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor, Dr. Viktor Frankl. I really enjoyed this conversation.theselfhelpantidote.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it mean to choose joy in a world that feels anything but joyful? In this Sunday Gathering message, Emily Perry explores the practice of claiming joy not as escapism, but as a spiritual act of defiance against fear, suffering, and ego-based narratives. Drawing from A Course in Miracles and the legacy of great nonviolent movements—from Fannie Lou Hamer to Viktor Frankl to Dietrich Bonhoeffer—Emily shares how joy becomes a healing force when rooted in love and our identity as God's beloved. You'll learn: Why the Course calls joy your function and a sign of spiritual maturity How resistance through joy echoes the teachings of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount What “Black joy” reveals about reclaiming identity and sacred dignity How to cultivate joy even in the midst of pain, loss, or injustice Emily's sermon reminds us that joy is more than a feeling—it's a way of standing with God, even in the storm. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles. We are the publisher of the Complete and Annotated Edition of the Course (known as the “CE”), which is available as a paperback*, ebook*, and via Audible. Our work grows out of our commitment to be as faithful as possible to what A Course in Miracles says,  years of dedication to walking this path ourselves, and a desire to see the Course's purpose realized in the lives of students and in the world.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to.

Nothing can be that important, -Natalie Goldberg Chapters 0:27 Introduction to Overcoming Anxiety 4:40 Tools for Managing Anxiety 8:09 Understanding the Nervous System 12:19 Embracing Acceptance Over Fear 14:32 Closing Thoughts and Listener Engagement Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve deep into the journey of overcoming anxiety, emphasizing the fundamental need to move beyond managing symptoms to genuinely surpassing them. Inspired by Viktor Frankl's quote, I highlight the crucial space between stimulus and response, where our freedom and power reside. It is imperative to understand that this space is not merely a pause but a pivotal moment for growth and happiness, especially when navigating the tumultuous waters of anxiety, panic, and PTSD. I discuss the significant difference between managing anxiety—through tips, tricks, and props that only keep it at bay—and the transformative process of moving beyond it entirely. While coping mechanisms are necessary to help us navigate daily challenges, they should never become a crutch that defines our existence. We often utilize these techniques to alleviate acute anxiety, allowing us to momentarily calm the storm and gain a broader perspective on our experiences. This episode challenges you to recognize that accepting and surrendering to your feelings, as daunting as they may seem, is a crucial step towards genuine relief. Accepting anxiety is not the same as embracing it; it is about understanding that real change must come from within. I stress the importance of taking personal accountability in this journey, shifting away from the desire for external solutions, and recognizing the internal nature of this transformation. #anxiety #overcominganxiety #beyondanxiety #anxietymanagement #anxietyrelief #mentalhealth #nervoussystem #stressresponse #acceptance #surrender #innerpeace #freedomfromanxiety #fearoffear #viktorfrankl #anxietycoachespodcast #gettingbeyondanxiety #stimulusandresponse #chooseyourresponse #clearanxiety #anxietytoolsandtips #GinaRyan #ACP Learn more about your ad choices.

Viktor Frankl said, "Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear almost any 'how'". Knowing you why will bring in your heart and soul into the equation. I used this attacking my Spartan beast race. Here's a link to Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - https://amzn.to/4kv4Lyr

“If people were paid according to how hard they work, the richest people on earth would be the ones digging ditches with a shovel in the hot summertime.”That's what my mother told me when I was a boy. When she saw the puzzled look on my face, she continued.“People who make a lot of money are paid according to the weight of the responsibility they carry and the quality of the decisions they make.”Second only to grief, the weight of responsibility is the heaviest burden that a person can carry. Compared to those, a shovel full of dirt feels as light as feathers on a windy day.When forced to choose between two evils, it brings a good person no joy to choose the lesser evil. Fewer people will be hurt, but the pain those people feel will be real.A person who is not wounded by the pain they cause others is a sociopath.Authority is power, and power is attractive. Tear away the tinsel. Scrape away the glitter and you will see that authority is just a fancy costume. You wear it when you are about to cause someone pain.Every good person in authority has scars on their heart, memories of the pain they know they have caused others.Sociopaths don't care about the pain of others. They crave authority because they are weak, and the fancy costume lets them pretend they are strong.Things get ugly when a sociopath has power.“In the alchemy of man's soul almost all noble attributes – courage, honor, love, hope, faith, duty, loyalty, etc. – can be transmuted into ruthlessness. Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us. Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless.”– Eric Hoffer, “Reflections on the Human Condition” (1973)A person in authority who lacks compassion is a very small person wearing a badge.As a young man, I admired cleverness. But I have lived enough years and cried enough tears that now I see the world differently. Today, I admire goodness. This shift in perspective helped me understand what Viktor Frankl wrote in his book, “Man's Search for Meaning.”“Freedom is only part of the story and half of the truth… In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibleness. That is why I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supplemented by a Statue of Responsibility on the West Coast.”Viktor Frankl was a medical doctor, a psychologist, and a survivor of the holocaust. He was imprisoned in four different concentration camps: Theresienstadt, Auschwitz where his mother was murdered, Dachau,and then Türkheim.Viktor Frankl believed in freedom, but he refused to see it as a license to do whatever you want. To him, freedom without responsibility was an idiotic idea.Isabella Bird was a well-educated woman who left Victorian England to explore the world in 1854.When she arrived in the United States in 1873, she bought a horse and rode alone more than 800 miles to Colorado. In her book, “A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains,” (1879), Isabella wrote,“In America the almighty dollar is the true divinity, and its worship is universal. ‘Smartness' is the quality thought most of. The boy who ‘gets on' by cheating at his lessons is praised for being a ‘smart boy,' and his satisfied parents foretell that he will make a ‘great man.'”“A man who overreaches his neighbor, but who does it so cleverly that the law cannot take hold of him, wins an envied reputation as a ‘smart man,' and stories of this species of ‘smartness' are told admiringly...

Stoicism is a philosophy founded by Zeno around the fourth century BC. It was important in Greece and Rome and culminated at the time Marcus Aurelius was emperor. The primary purpose of philosophy is to reveal our shortcomings so we can overcome them. Stoicism is about living in harmony with the universe. There are four cardinal virtues that Stoics cultivate: wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice. Pithy quotes that are useful to consider are discussed. Knowing the difference between what we can and can't control is key to figuring out what to put our attention on and how to adapt. We find strength in realizing we have power over our minds, not outside events. Viktor Frankl, a concentration camp survivor who was aligned with Stoic philosophy, said that decisions not conditions determine what a man is. We may not be able to choose the conditions that come to us in life, but we can choose how to relate to those conditions. Wealth is to desire what we have; poverty is to wish for what we don't have. Stoics maintain that our being is contained in an inner citadel that we create with Stoic virtue. We are invincible and cannot be defeated if we maintain our character and principles. Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius, was written for himself as a diary. There is a thread of accepting reality as it is when we are self-contained. Stoicism involves not being swept away by emotions and not being in denial of them. Happiness depends on the quality of our thoughts. We can see obstacles as directing us to shift our perspective and move forward. The trials we face introduce us to our strengths. Rivers are easiest to cross at their source. Once neuropathways are established, it's much harder to break a habit. Stoic virtues are universal and offer a way into any spiritual practice.

Welcome to another insightful episode of It's the Bottom Line That Matters! Today, your hosts Jennifer Glass, Daniel McCraine, and Patricia Reszetylo explore the essential soft skill of self-control, and how mastering it can transform your personal and professional life.In this episode, the hosts open up with real-world examples, from Jennifer's approach to cheat days in her diet to Patricia's thoughts on using “colorful language” privately versus in professional settings. They reflect on the importance of recognizing and managing our impulses—whether it's resisting temptation, responding calmly to a difficult colleague, or making strategic business decisions when emotions are running high.Through personal anecdotes and humorous asides, Daniel, Patricia, and Jennifer discuss why self-control is much more than simply holding back or suppressing emotion. Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl's idea of pausing between stimulus and response, they highlight how that crucial moment of choice is where growth, happiness, and professional credibility truly reside.The conversation also touches on practical challenges—like dealing with frustrating clients, maintaining professionalism even when “out of sight” in the workplace, and choosing productivity over procrastination as solopreneurs. Patricia reminds us that self-control isn't about being emotionless, but about having the power to choose the most effective and appropriate action, rather than simply reacting.As the episode wraps up, the hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own approaches to self-control, sharing strategies to expand your options and build emotional discipline for better outcomes—both at work and at home.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances, but the story you've been telling yourself about them? We all experience setbacks—failure, rejection, trauma, or just plain bad luck. But instead of seeing these moments as chapters in a bigger story, we often let them define us. We replay the past, reinforce limiting beliefs, and convince ourselves that nothing will ever change. The problem isn't just what happened—it's the meaning we attach to it. And sometimes, that meaning is completely wrong. In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the science of learned helplessness, brain predictions, and the power of rewriting our stories. From Martin Seligman's research on why we stop trying to Viktor Frankl's powerful insights from the Holocaust, Dr. Bray will explore how adversity shapes our minds—and how we can reshape them. Most importantly, we'll uncover practical tools to shift from victimhood to resilience, from feeling trapped to taking control. Because while we can't change the past, we can change the meaning we give it. And that changes everything. Tune in and learn how to break free from the mental loops keeping you stuck. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "While your past will never change, you can." “‘WHY' questions trap us in our past. ‘What' questions can help us create a better future."
