Self-Talk, Mental Imagery, and Finding J...

DR. MICHAEL GERVAIS
About this episode

Welcome to the 11th installment of our Ask Me Anything series.

The purpose behind these AMAs – is to hear from YOU and have conversations… to explore the topics and questions that you have been wrestling with on your path to becoming.

The goal is to expand on the themes, lessons, and best-practices we’ve discussed on the Finding Mastery podcast in order to make them even more applicable to your own life.

We’re back with our favorite co-host—O’Neil Cespedes—and today, we cover some really interesting and insightful territory, including:

  • Where joy comes from (and the art of finding it, every day)
  • Why we must practice self-care
  • The intricacies of ADD and ADHD
  • Being a good friend to yourself
  • The nuances of narcissistic traits
  • The power of imagery and imagination
  • And so much more…


With fire, Dr. Mike
