There's a spiritual teacher, Adi Ashanti, that we've had on the show a few times. And he has a saying that I mentioned to Michael Pollan in our conversation, which is he describes the ego simply as that's all it is. It is just a contraction. So there may be a conceptual self and there may be an experiential self that are linked. But that contraction is where all the trouble starts.
Key Concepts:
- The roles of rewards and punishments and the importance of understanding how the habit loop cycle works in adjusting behavior.
- Understanding cravings and addictions and strategies that can be used to work through our habitual behavior patterns.
- How bringing awareness and curiosity is a crucial component in training our mind to deal more effectively with cravings.
