026 Free Will Is An Illusion (This Changes EVERYTHING!)

📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTubeCould the burdens we carry about our choices simply vanish if we embraced the possibility that free will is an illusion? Join me, David, your guide through the profound implications of this concept, as I share experiences and philosophical musings that challenge the traditional notion of autonomy in our decisions. In this episode, we dissect the idea that our belief in free will could be at the root of unnecessary stress and self-criticism. Drawing from personal anecdotes and the constancy of a film's unchanging plot, I offer a perspective that may just unlock a new path to peace and acceptance.Venture into a realm of thought where self-judgment is obsolete and every choice is an essential fragment of your narrative, free from blame or regret. We'll traverse my own recovery story, blending it with insights from the realms of behavioral psychology and neuroscience, to shed light on the predictability of human behavior. The invitation is open: experiment with a day lived under the assumption that different choices were never in the cards, and observe the tranquility that may follow. This isn't just a conversation; it's a chance to redefine your approach to life's unpredictable journey, fostering a mindset that's unshackled and confident.=======Available on Amazon: A Changed Mind: Go Beyond Self Awareness, Rewire Your Brain & Reengineer Your RealityDownload the Audiobook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCKF721M=======What We Explored This Episode(00:00) Exploring the Concept of Free Will(14:16) Removing Self-Judgment and Embracing AcceptanceMemorable Quotes"If you knew that you were gonna make whatever decision you made, no matter what you did, that you had no free will and it was predetermined, wouldn't you enjoy being that character a hell of a lot more?""What if you actually have no choice? What if, on a moment by moment basis, you have to make the decision that you make, whether it's a decision that's aligned with the direction that you feel you should be moving in your life, or the decisions you should be taking, or whether it's a decision that you believe doesn't serve you well?""So if I can provide you a perspective that would allow you to actually liberate yourself from this inner dialogue and the self-judgment and self-criticism... I think that would be a useful exploration, and so we're doing it around this topic of free will."Connect With DavidInterested in going deeper with us?
