Classic: Your Mind is not Your Brain (S13E55)

About this episode

This episode discusses the distinction between the mind and the brain, emphasizing the mind's control over the brain and the process of self-brain surgery.

[We are on a short break while Dr. Warren prepares new episodes for Action April 2026! While we're waiting, we're bringing back four of the most popular episodes from last year] In this episode, we discuss the crucial distinction between the mind and the brain, essential for the process of self-brain surgery. I introduce the fourth commandment of self-brain surgery, which emphasizes that our mind controls our brain, and we explore how our thoughts shape our cognitive architecture. We contrast "brain-out" and "mind-down" worldviews, showing the power of intentionality and personal responsibility. You'll get practical steps for engaging in self-brain surgery, and exercises for reflection to challenge limiting beliefs. This conversation sets the stage for further exploration of personal transformation in future episodes. ⁠Click here for the transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Note: This is a replay of an episode that came out before Dr. Warren's new book was published.
