Episode notes

We're often taught that slow and steady wins the race. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is based on the idea that small, incremental changes are the best way to create life-lasting change. But what if our biggest improvements actually happen in a lightning-strike moment?

I personally had a big epiphany a few years ago. Typically, I would position myself in the back of the line. In a profound moment, I realized that you can't complain about not being seen if you continue to put yourself in the background. This insight happened so quickly and flipped my mindset so completely that it changed my life forever. You have to be able to be in a state to receive these moments, recognize them, and take action so that they stick.

To understand aha moments and how we can create them, I've brought on science-based motivational author James Fell. With millions of readers around the globe, he has the mission of helping people achieve sudden insight into what inspires them to live the life they know they're meant to. His most recent book is called The Holy Sh!t Moment: How Lasting Change Can Happen in an Instant.
