In this episode, host Tom Ruwitch interviews Liam Naden, a speaker, teacher, writer, and researcher who shares his transformative journey from millionaire to homeless and back to a thriving life.
Liam reveals the secret to success lies not in traditional goal-setting but in 'letting yourself off the hook' and allowing your brain to guide you to the next step. He explains his four-part brain model, the significance of the creative brain, and how activating the right brain state can lead to a life without stress and full of fulfillment.
The discussion delves into the biology of thriving, the inefficacy of goal-setting, and practical steps to harness the power of your brain for an optimal life. Listeners are encouraged to visit Liam's website for additional resources and tools to get unstuck and thrive.
