Why the 3 Principles Are the Key to Well-Being | Dr Dicken Bettinger

Dr. Dicken Bettinger — one of the most respected teachers of the 3 Principles — shares how the work of Sydney Banks transformed his understanding of psychology, human resilience, and the power of thought.

From his decades as a counseling psychologist to 23 years of personal mentorship with Sydney Banks, Dicken reveals how the 3 Principles — Mind, Consciousness, and Thought — are a universal framework for understanding all human experience. Along the way, we explore why “outside-in” thinking keeps us stuck, how the power of thought shapes every feeling we have, and why quieting the mind can uncover the unshakable well-being that’s already within us.

If you’ve ever searched for the next self-improvement technique, this episode offers a radical shift: you may already be whole — and the doorway to seeing it is closer than you think.
