Here is the introducti0n that accompanied the podcast:

Ryan Bush is systems designer and an author.

Redesigning your mind is hard because there are a lot of influences at play. A very comprehensive approach is needed to really impact our mindset. Today I think I might have found someone who has all the tools.

Expect to learn how to design your mind to work with you not against you, how to cultivate meta-cognition, how to rewire your mental biases, how to restructure your emotions, how to modulate your desires, how to build self control and much more...

You can bypass many emotional experiences if you catch them quickly enough and do what’s necessary.

Three realms - cognitive, emotional, behavioural.

Spot the typo!

Our thoughts, actions and emotions are intricately tied together. In order to make changes we have to understand the connections between them.

You can step into your programming - you’re not at the mercy of the next thought that comes careening into view.

A lot of people don’t know what’s causing the majority of their daily suffering.

Just noticing can be enough to get rid of the things.

There’s a gap between skills and wisdom.

The planning fallacy -thinking we can get something done in a much shorter time than we actually can.

You can go through a ruminative spiral for hours without realising it.

Not only are you not your thoughts, you’re also not the creator of your thoughts either.
