About This Episode
This is one of the single best conversations ever had on the podcast. Today, in honor of Dr. Jim Doty, Mel is sharing this episode on manifestation, neuroscience, and what’s truly possible when you unlock the power of your mind and heart. Dr. Doty was truly an extraordinary human being who lived an extraordinary life. He was a world-renowned Stanford neurosurgeon and neuroscientist, a New York Times bestselling author, a philanthropist, and the founder of the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism Research. He also served as the chairman of the Dalai Lama Foundation. Dr. Doty recently passed away, and this conversation – recorded before his death — is part of his legacy. It is one of the most shared, listened to, and beloved episodes in the history of the podcast. In it, he explains the science behind manifesting and visualization: why it works, what’s happening in your brain, and how to do it effectively. He also dives deep into the science behind creating the life you want, explains why your negative self-talk is holding you back, and how you can reprogram your brain using simple yet powerful tools rooted in neuroscience. Whether you’ve heard this episode before or it’s your first time, Mel invites you to listen to this episode and to honor Dr. Doty by carrying his wisdom forward. His words will open your mind to the extraordinary possibilities of your life. For more resources, click here for the podcast episode page.
