Episode Details

You know that voice in your head—the one narrating your life, criticizing your choices, and keeping you up at night? Dr. Chris Niebauer caught his red-handed after a colonoscopy when his "unremarkable" colon actually offended his inner voice. He started laughing because he finally saw it for what it is: a thought, not the truth. With a PhD in cognitive psychology and over two decades of research, Chris has arrived at the same place Buddhist teachers discovered centuries ago—the self isn't a real thing. It's a mirage. In this conversation, we get playful with the left and right brain, explore why our culture is addicted to thinking our way out of problems, and discover simple, immediate ways to rebalance our minds. This is about finding peace without needing to figure everything out.
