Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.If you're fortunate enough to have savings, you've probably thought about how to invest them responsibly. The standard answer is to stick your money into no-load mutual funds that track the market and leave it there for as long as possible. Low risk because of the diversification. Low fee because there's no genius managing your money, just an algorithm. And high return because over the long term, it's almost impossible to beat the market.What could possibly be wrong with that?Click to subscribe to the Mindset Mastery Memo.Support the show

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.I reached out to Bianca and Michael because I was turning into an asshole.Specifically, I was full of rage and outrage and judgment at all the racists out there. And the fact that I was right, and on the side of right, and standing shoulder to shoulder with people of color, and fighting against systemic oppression that has been going on far too long - just made me more of an asshole, to be honest. Click to subscribe to the Mindset Mastery Memo.Support the show

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.For the last 7 years, I've worked to improve human health and wellbeing by focusing on better nutrition, vigorous physical activity, sleep hygiene, and stress management.Turns out I may have been missing the most important determinants of health - the social ones.Marta Zaraska has written a book that is fun, fascinating, scientifically sound, and socially revolutionary.

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.Team Sherzai, aka Dean and Ayesha, join me on the podcast to talk about the role of science and scientists in dealing with all the false statements propagated on social media (as well as, occasionally, traditional media).What the Sherzais value highly about science is the holy grail of falsifiability; the challenge that every theory and finding implicitly makes to other scientists: prove me wrong!They also appreciate the inherent humility that is baked into true science, as well as the imperfect nature of knowledge at any given time.Click to subscribe to the Mindset Mastery Memo.Support the show

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.Most of my work as a health coach involves helping people respond differently to stimuli.That is, develop the ability to make different choices when confronted with tempting foods, tempting environments, tempting people, and tempting sensations, emotions, and thoughts.Think about it - NOT having that ability basically means you're a robot, a machine. If you can't control your responses, you have no freedom.Click to subscribe to the Mindset Mastery Memo.Support the show
