137 — The Neuroscience Behind Manifesting and How to Set Intentions That Create Lasting Change with Dr. James Doty
Manage episode 436215938 series 3475432
Manifesting works, and there is plenty of science behind it. But the concept is often misused. It's not about attracting wealth and material possessions. Instead, it's about opening your mind to new possibilities and being ready to take action.
Dr. James Doty is a professor of neurosurgery at Stanford University. He's also the best-selling author of Mind Magic and an expert on the topic of manifesting. Some of the things we discuss are:
- The biggest misconceptions about manifesting
- Why it's important to set intentions
- Why actionable and service-oriented goals are key to a good life, not materialistic aspirations
- How the parasympathetic nervous system promotes positive well-being and why it's so important to stop living under constant stress
- A step-by-step guide to manifesting a purposeful life
