…discussing thought experiments and how the mind can be reprogrammed
“And if you've never read Untethered Soul by Michael Singer, it's a fantastic book, very short, very quick read. And the idea is we are not our mind and we are not our body. We are our soul. And the argument that he makes is what that does is it gives us permission and power to program our mind and body and not listen to them, right?”

…describing three self-help books that have impacted his life most
“The three that I go back to all the time. One is called The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. And I'm always going back to that book, although there's tons of YouTube videos of him talking. They're all great. And with anything really good, usually they're saying the same thing just in a different way. It's one idea and it's just kind of rewritten to find another way to get you to soak it in.”
