The Five Things Minds Do

The podcast episode introduces a five-part series based on the book 'Just a Thought.' The series focuses on the five things that all minds do: worry, compare, problem-solve, think we aren't good enough, and dramatize. These universal processes are easy to misunderstand and take personally. The speaker emphasizes that recognizing these processes as universal mental functions, rather than personal truths, can lead to enormous freedom.
