Episode Description
Join special guest John Vespasian, author of eight books on relational living, as he reflects on his values of self-reliance, tolerance and entrepreneurship, and discusses topics from our featured book, Consistency: The key to permanent stress relief. We will discover why "mind hacks" deliver little or no benefits in the long term. We will discuss the crucial importance of identifying lifetime goals, how consistency maximizes your ability to detect and seize opportunities, and how to let go of habits that destroy your piece of mind. We will begin to understand how unbridled positive thinking can severely mess up your life but how you can still maintain your motivation in times of adversity. We will delve into the topic of how learning from history can become a great advantage. And most importantly, we will discover why the dominant ideas about how to combat stress are ineffective, and why reality can turn short term enthusiasm based on irrational ideas into a delusional crash.
