  Turns out the loudest thing in my life wasn’t reality. It was the noise in my own head.

  The, 'reject your first reaction' because it's going to be self preservation, is GOLDEN 🔑

  Dr. Mark is a legend. His book cognitive dominance is a powerful perspective and analysis on how we can think about fear, and how to perform at our best. Not just a world class doctor, but a genuinely powerful philosopher too. Worth listening to any dr mark content you come across. Great interview Lewis.

  I clicked to watch it because of the title, and one of the biggest takeaways I have is to not judge myself based on outcomes. &nbsp;<br>I’m a hypnotherapist with years of practical knowledge on hand but for a year I was reluctant to launch my very first neuroscience-based guide with recorded short hypnosis sessions for daughters of narcissistic mothers like me. &nbsp;<br>I was always stuck on “what if, what if,” but after listening to this today I’m quite sure it will definitely help others like me. coz I’m not just handing out a guide. I’m also here with them for the next step on their healing journey. &nbsp;<br>Thank you so much, Dr. Mark and Lewis, for this amazing podcast.

  What strikes me most is the surgeon&apos;s transition from &apos;neurobiology&apos; to &apos;philosophy.&apos; The idea that language doesn’t just describe our reality, but actively constructs it, is profound. By shifting from &apos;worry&apos; to &apos;prudence&apos; and &apos;luck&apos; to &apos;gratitude,&apos; we aren&apos;t just changing our mood—we are fundamentally re-engineering our neural pathways. A masterclass in cognitive architecture.

  Love lowers the baseline of the fear stored in the amygdala.

  Thank you for producing this. Saw the interview last night, read the book during insomnia. Combine this with Dr Doty&apos;s teaching, another neurosurgeon, and it makes it an amazing resource for personal growth❤❤❤

  As an author, editor, and someone who has spent this past year walking through both incredible blessings and heartbreaking loss, this conversation landed deeper than I expected.<br><br>One thought stopped me in my tracks: &quot;You can&apos;t control your thoughts, but you can be in charge of them.&quot; There is a lifetime of wisdom packed into that single sentence.<br><br>This year I lost my mom. I&apos;ve published books, helped other authors bring their dreams to life, supported my husband through a demanding aviation career, and found myself asking more than once if I was doing enough. Fear has a quiet way of sneaking into every corner of our lives... not always as panic, but as self-doubt, perfectionism, and the endless belief that we somehow should have done more.<br><br>What Dr. McLaughlin reminded me is that outcomes don&apos;t define us. Character does.<br><br>As writers, entrepreneurs, parents, caregivers, pilots, surgeons... whatever path we walk... we don&apos;t get to control every ending. We only control how faithfully we show up to the work in front of us today.<br><br>His closing thoughts may become a daily reminder on my desk:<br><br>Gratitude for the past. Acceptance of the present. Responsibility for the future.<br><br>That isn&apos;t just a framework for performance. It&apos;s a framework for living.<br><br>Thank you Lewis for bringing conversations like this to the world, and thank you, Dr. McLaughlin, for reminding us that courage isn&apos;t the absence of fear... it&apos;s choosing purpose over it, one decision at a time.<br><br>This was one of those interviews I&apos;ll come back to again and again. ❤
