#159. Stanford Neuroscientist Explains the Science of Manifestation - Dr. James Doty | Mind Magic

Is manifestation real or just another pop culture myth and baseless hype?
It took humans 90,000 years to get from hunter-gatherers to a society of agriculture and farming. Then, it took humans about 10,000 years to become an industrialized civilization. Humans then discovered atomic power in about 200 years. Within the last century, we created computers and entered the Information Age in about 50 years. 
With awe-inspiring exponential progression, humans know surprisingly little about consciousness or what lies beneath our awareness. 
Today’s conversation will prove the science of manifestation by explaining the hidden truth underneath human consciousness.
Dr. James Doty is a neuroscientist, neurosurgeon, Stanford professor, and a best-selling author.
BTS, the world’s biggest K-pop group and arguably the world’s most popular band in history has a song named Magic Shop inspired by James’s first New York Times best-selling book, Into The Magic Shop which outlines his manifestation journey as a neurosurgeon. 
Expect to learn about what manifestation is, the great unhappiness of America, the neuroscience of manifestation, the lasting impact of words, helpful self-compassion practices, and much more. 
You can grab his new book, Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything, on Amazon and all major bookstores.

#158. How To Redefine Men’s Mental Health? - Michael Unbroken | Think Unbroken

Is the mental health conversation too soft on social media? Has trauma become your identity? How do we break unhealthy patterns? 
Michael Unbroken is a trauma coach, speaker, advocate for survivors of childhood trauma, and New York Times best-selling author. 
Michael operates his life and mission statement around three identities: a trauma survivor, a trauma warrior, and a trauma mentor.

Of course, if the story ended there, we would not be sitting here today and this would be a very depressing episode. 
We will deconstruct Michael’s way of life and how he went from being homeless to being a hero of his life and millions of others. 
Expect to learn about why trauma is not an identity, why we must choose our struggle, how to break unhealthy patterns, how to take responsibility for our lives, the power of self-talk, how to raise our standards, and much more.
