Ep 8 - Neuroscience, engineering, and intentional growth

Podcast episode
Written By Rob Bialostocki

What this episode is about

Most of what we do is subconscious - we do things without thinking about all the detailed steps every time. Autopilot, if you will. And that’s fine for many things. But for intentional growth as a person, we need to be more conscious. We look at how the idea of ‘forward modelling’ might help us achieve our goals.
