Do You Fear Your Ambition? (Part 4) – Brian Johnson

Are you lost or do you have a clear sense of purpose? Do you seek or avoid risk? And do you feel that you’re part of a group that you would die for? Sebastian Junger is no stranger to danger. As a war reporter, he experienced intense combat in Afghanistan and nearly lost his life in other parts of the globe. He’s documented his experiences in gripping films like Restrepo and Korengal as well as books like War, Tribe, and his latest Freedom. And — oh yeah — he wrote a book called The Perfect Storm which you may have heard of, too. Freedom is his most recent book where he discusses what he calls The Last Patrol. It’s a long hike he did with several other veterans along the railways of America. In the book he describes the history of the land, what freedom really means, and the best ways to dodge authorities trying to arrest them for hiking next to speeding trains. Today Sebastian and I explore why humans benefit from danger, our need to belong to a group, and what he saw in the moments before his death. https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2021/10/sebastian-junger-freedom You don't have to settle.

Why Avoiding Conflict is Creating Conflict – Jayson Gaddis (Getting to Zero, The Relationship School)

Richard Schwartz introduced IFS or Internal Family Systems many years ago. Since then, the process has been used to heal, strengthen, and align the minds of many people — including myself. I use IFS daily in meditation as well as in my coaching practice to help clients confront their fears and get out of their own way. When it comes to being productive, I’ve found that IFS works much, much better than forcing our way through resistance. And it’s amazingly effective at helping us cut through the noise so we can connect to what some may call our essential or spiritual Self. Schwartz has a new book called, “No Bad Parts” and today we’re going to explore the inner critic, our addiction to achievement, and getting out of our own way. https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2021/09/richard-schwartz-no-bad-parts You don't have to settle.

From Inner Critic to Inner Peace – Richard Schwartz (IFS, No Bad Parts)

When you tell her she’s being ‘hormonal’ why does it typically erupt in flames? Why do heated conversations have a tendency to spiral into infernos? And is it more important to win the fight or find a solution? It’s not always sunny in the Lanier household, and on this particular day, I stepped on a landmine. After the fire was brought under control, Alyson thought it might be helpful to turn on the mics and explore what caused the fire - as well as what we did to put it out. But to be honest, like a moron, I ended up pouring gas on it again during this conversation. https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2021/09/fighting-with-your-wife You don't have to settle.
