Your Mind is Not the Boss w/ Dr. Richard Louis Miller
About this episode
Dr. Richard Louis Miller discusses the concept that the mind is a tool, emphasizing awareness and mindful drinking.
Dr. Richard Louis Miller has spent more than 65 years in psychology, mind-body health, and behavior change. He is the host of Mind Body Health & Politics , the author of multiple books, and a longtime voice in the connection between the mind, emotions, stress, and the body. In this episode, Dr. Miller shares a simple but powerful idea: the mind is a tool, not the boss. We talk about how easy it is to get lost in thought, pulled into automatic patterns, or convinced by the next craving, urge, or feeling. Dr. Miller explains why awareness is often the first step toward change, and how creating even a small pause can help us respond instead of react. We also look at alcohol through one of the most useful questions in the conversation: What am I asking this drink to do for me? For anyone trying to drink more mindfully, this episode is about understanding the need underneath the urge, building more trust with yourself, and finding other ways to meet that need without feeling like you’re just taking something away.
