What is choice? How do we make good choices, and how important are the choices we make? This week, Shamash and Calvin cross the threshold on their next leg of their Hero's Journey into mindfulness.

In this episode:

  • Therapist Mari Williams describes how a lack of choice, real or perceived, can make us feel trapped, but that realising we have choice – even if unfavourable – is valuable.
  • Dr Mehwish Sharif looks at the growth mindset behind choice, its relationship to decision-making, and how the first step we need to take is accepting the choices we make.
  • Dr Steven Hayes, the founder of ACT, explores the negotiations we have with ourselves in the mirror.
  • Social entrepreneur Kush Kanodia shares his personal paradox that the more he knows the more he realises he doesn't know.

On next week's episode, we'll tackle tests, allies and enemies.

Mindful Conversations is hosted by mindfulness teacher Shamash Alidina and mindful storyteller Calvin Niles.
