Description

Anne‑Laure Le Cunff is a neuroscientist, founder, and an author. We live by unconscious mental scripts. Most of the time, we don’t even realize it, until we wake up and see the life we’re living isn’t what we truly want. So how do we unlearn what no longer serves us and rewire our mind to align with who we really are? Expect to learn what the problem is when people obsess over finding their purpose, how to know if you’re following your own dreams or someone else’s, the tactics you can learn to begin unlearning cultural scripts, how to get more comfortable with uncertainty, how to deal with the shame of letting go of busyness and driving toward your purpose, why posture is so overlooked in mental health, how to improve a destructive mindset, and much more… - 00:00 The Process Of Finding Your Purpose 09:03 The Relationship With Humans & Uncertainty 20:45 The Usefulness Of Liminal Spaces 26:43 What is Compensatory Control Theory? 37:59 What is Time Anxiety? 56:52 Dopamine Loops & Our Sleep-Wake Cycles 1:06:24 Find Out More About Anne-Laure - Get access to every episode 10 hours before YouTube by subscribing for free on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2LSimPn or Apple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2MNqIgw Get my free Reading List of 100 life-changing books here - https://chriswillx.com/books/ Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic here - https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom - Get in touch in the comments below or head to...

Over the years, I have felt the mantra of "purpose with out seeking" has been my guide. The bottom line is be of "service to humanity" and follow your moral compass. Giving is where life has value. Not the taking many believe.

That was the best explanation of liminal spaces I've heard. Makes a lot of sense and applies to so many times in my life where I've experienced worry and anxiety, all due to uncertainty.

First, I could listen to her all day long.... Second, this is low-key one of the most sophisticated and complex discussions in all of Modern Wisdom.... It's all being discussed somewhat conversationally, but she's delving into and making use of some of the deepest concepts and mechanisms... This is one to take notes on, while listening

Love love love this ❤ I have recently discovered liminal spaces like being in a cave, a densely wooded area, a train, an aeroplane. I find that I can jump my consciousness into people I share that space with…see and feel the world through their eyes. I love it!
