S2E6: The Pleasure of Displeasure
About this episode
An entry from my journal and a passage from J.Krishnamurti inspired my latest episode, which views displeasure and discontent in an entirely new way. I share personal stories and lessons from my own life, and from the highly successful patients I see in my clinic who experience emotional and metabolic health challenges despite material success. Some topics include:
- The pleasure-displeasure cycle explained through my summer trips to India
- Why "extraordinary discontent" is often essential for growth
- Deep lessons from the movie, The Matrix (even if you haven't seen it)
- My own cycles of discontent and how they led to growth
- The link between metabolism and mindset
