This engaging dialogue peels away layers of societal expectations and ego-driven pursuits to uncover the essence of genuine joy and inner peace. From confronting the myths of 'having it all' to embracing the raw, messy beauty of our authentic selves, we explore the transformative journey of shedding superficial desires in favor of a more fulfilling, truth-centered life. Are you ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about happiness? Tune in to unearth the liberating truth of what it means to live authentically.</p><p><br></p><p>Alex worked as a scientist, engineer, co-founder, teacher and for the last decade as a Transformative Coach, helping coaches and other people who don't need help. He organized initiation-retreats, masterminds and guided adventures across the world, and I'm currently finishing my Book titled \"Why Your Coaching Sucks, and You're Broke\". Above all else, he is a \"A Course in Miracles\"-Student and a \"Three Principles\"-Practitioner, relishing gratefully in the wellbeing that lies underneath all experience.</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Introduction to the Show and Guest Alex</p><p>00:30 Alex's Journey: From Doubt to Discovery</p><p>03:36 The Realization of Unhappiness Despite Success</p><p>07:22 Questioning Happiness and the Pursuit of Fulfillment</p><p>18:16 Exploring the Nature of Thinking and Reality</p><p>48:27 The Freedom of Thought and Its Impact</p><p>49:34 Navigating Dreams and Reality: A Personal Journey</p><p>50:39 Embracing Change and Finding Calmness</p><p>01:01:15 Exploring the Nature of Shame and Guilt</p><p>01:12:43 The Interplay of Thoughts and Emotions</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Alex:</p><p><a href=\"alexmonas.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">alexmonas.com</a></p><p><a href=\"mailto:connect@alexmonas.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">connect@alexmonas.com</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-monas-ph-d-2533929b/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-monas-ph-d-2533929b/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Julian:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/julian-merten/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.linkedin.com/in/julian-merten/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to the podcast here:</p><p>Apple Podcasts: <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-doubtless-podcast/id1739371672\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-doubtless-podcast/id1739371672</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/6oLuTMYmmt2eTzfXhVz2iZ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://open.spotify.com/show/6oLuTMYmmt2eTzfXhVz2iZ</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@TheDoubtlessPodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/@TheDoubtlessPodcast</a></p><p>Any other platform: <a href=\"https://link.chtbl.com/doubtless\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://link.chtbl.com/doubtless</a></p>","author_name":"Julian Merten"}
