Take a deep dive on manifestation with Dr. James Doty, acclaimed neurosurgeon and New York Times bestselling author of Into the Magic Shop, Secrets of the Heart, and Mind Magic. In this episode, discover the neuroscience behind how we attract what comes into our lives.

Ahead, Dr. Doty challenges common misconceptions about manifestation and reveals the biggest block to calling in your creations. Plus, learn scientifically backed mindfulness practices that can help you transform your intentions into reality.

Dr. Doty also shares his compelling story, from dramatic financial highs and lows to his insights on how shifting focus from self to service can radically change your life. Combining science and spirituality, Dr. Doty illustrates the nature of how and when our deepest desires may materialize. 

We also talk about:

  • The physiological impacts of caring for others versus pursuing personal gains
  • How to differentiate between true needs + superficial wants
  • Value tagging + how it influences manifestation
  • Synchronicities and their relationship with our focus + intention
  • Transitioning from a wealth-focused identity to a service-oriented life
  • The impact of adverse childhood experiences on adult success + wellbeing
  • Practical steps towards developing self-compassion
  • The long-term benefits of fostering deep, meaningful human connections
  • The importance of self-awareness + humility in personal development
