#2144 The Wisdom Within - Dr. Cam McDonald

About this episode

The episode features a deep discussion with Dr. Cam McDonald about self-awareness, potential, and the human tendency to focus on negativity.

This was another deep dive into the human experience with Dr. Cam. We spoke about the propensity some of us have to always look for a problem, while overlooking all the great stuff in our lives. "Looking for a needle of negativity in a haystack of hope", I call it. We also spoke about the lack of awareness many of us have around understanding our own potential, possibilities and power - and the subsequent consequences. We also chatted about our inability (or unwillingness) to understand or explore the objective reality of events, circumstances and situations, beyond the subjective stories we tell ourselves about those things. And lots of other stuff. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
