About this episode

Mark Groves discusses the balance between life optimization and joy with Drew Canole.

We also get into the biochemistry of alcohol, how to use your morning to tap into the divine, and why coincidences are not accidents but clues pointing you toward the life you are meant to live. 0:00 - Introduction: Is Optimization Stealing Your Joy? 2:37 - Why Your Purpose Is the Reverse of Your Deepest Shame 6:15 - How Vices Disconnect You From God and Your Mission 9:06 - The Fifth Dimension and How to Change Your Reality 15:00 - The Biochemistry of Alcohol and Why It Destroys Your System 22:00 - Turning Your Mess Into Your Mission 30:00 - Coincidences Are Clues: Tapping Into the Divine Timeline 36:00 - How to Use Your Morning Routine to Access the Soul…
