Abel James Show (Video)

Do you feel a constant pressure to optimize every aspect of your life? What if hyper-optimization protocols actually do more harm than good? The glorification of hustle culture has given many of us the nagging feeling that no matter how much we do or accomplish, it's never quite enough.

Chef James Barry: Why Eating at Fancy Restaurants is Terrible for Your Health show art Chef James Barry: Why Eating at Fancy Restaurants is Terrible for Your Health

Abel James Show (Video)

Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse? With rampant food inflation and razor thin margins, even the fanciest, most exclusive and expensive restaurants can’t resist the tendency to cut corners on ingredient quality. That means that no matter how much you spend on eating out - with few exceptions - you’re still getting shockingly low-quality food.  So how do high profile celebrities and the rich and famous achieve such dramatic transformations?  And are regular joes and janes like us actually better off without private...

Abel James Show (Video)

What’s the difference between education and indoctrination? Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended? The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility. We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.   The masses are conditioned to become habitually compliant conformists forever reliant on external authority. As Seth Godin writes,...

What does the concept of longevity mean to you?

Does it mean pumping your body full of exogenous hormones, peptides, stem cells, brain implants, and gradually replacing your organs with lab-grown pig parts? Perhaps some of us will sign up to be a brain in a jar?

Or can we cruise into our second century by living a simple life of self-reflection, meditating deep in the mountains?

Afterall, in remote corners of the world, there are legends of yogis and spiritual masters living so long that their true age is forgotten to time.

Indeed, there are many paths on the road to a long life. In the years ahead, the bifurcation between devout transhumanists on a quest to live forever and those who prefer a more natural approach to aging will become more and more obvious.

Today I’m honored to be joined by our friend Mark Divine, a former Navy SEAL commander, an entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, host of The Mark Divine Show, and renowned expert in personal transformation, mindfulness, and the untapped potential of the human mind.

In this expansive conversation, we explore the transformative power of silence and self-reflection, the intricate dance between the ego and attachment, as well as extraordinary feats of consciousness, healing and longevity documented in Eastern spiritual traditions.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • How to break free from the conditioning and limiting beliefs that lead many of us to a "common" life of quiet desperation
  • Powerful practices to master the mind’s energy by combining Eastern wisdom and Western science
  • Why sitting in silence and witnessing one's thoughts is crucial for deconstructing limiting beliefs and stories, leading to greater freedom and self-awareness
  • How to redefine your relationship with reality to unlock your full potential
  • And much more…
