Join me for a conversation with world-renowned psychiatrist and neuroscience pioneer, Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz. We discuss the mind-brain relationship, the stunning amount of control that people have over their thoughts, particularly in managing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Schwartz challenges materialistic neuroscience views with his book You Are Not Your Brain, advocating for mindfulness and metacognition as tools for personal agency. He introduces the "Four Steps" method to help control intrusive thoughts. We also talk about handling grief and hardship, with Dr. Schwartz highlighting the importance of healthy mourning, taking a holistic approach to mental health that combines scientific insights with spiritual wisdom, and encouraging transformation through self-awareness.
