Episode notes
Two Kinds Of Doubt
- Goldstein distinguishes skilful doubt (wise investigation) from sceptical doubt (indecision that freezes action).
- He emphasizes wise questioning versus paralysis at crossroads that prevents progress.
Catch Doubt Before It Stops You
- Watch for doubting thoughts that stop practice (comparing methods, endless 'should I' questions) and deliberately name them.
- Goldstein says doubt can take you out of the game, so catch it before it halts progress.
Retreat Notebook Triggered Self Doubt
- Goldstein recounts his first retreat where seeing others' notebooks triggered self-doubt and spinning narratives about worthiness.
- The story shows how trivial cues (notebooks) can ignite strong self-judgment loops.
