S4 You Are Now Less Dumb | Ep 1 - Self-Delusion

Its a brand new series, and that means its a new book - one of my absolute favourites. You Are Now Less Dumb by David McRaney is an amazing book about all the ways our brains delude ourselves and trick us into thinking we're rational beings, when really, we're just making s#!t up. This episode explains the basis for the book and gives 5 specific examples as to why we're so dumb :) Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2531868/support] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

S3 The Four Agreements | Ep 1 - Agreements & The Dream

This is the first of 2 episodes on the simple yet life-changing book, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. In this episode we cover the fundamental Toltec philosophy about the nature of reality and human consciousness, what they call "Mitote" or The Dream. The idea is that human beings are the embodiment of creation, God, life itself, but our perception is covered by a smokey mist that makes it nearly impossible for us to recognise the "God" in us and in each other, and it's our task in our lives to clear away the haze.
