So congrats on writing your new book, Beyond Belief.

One thing you say is that what you believe shapes what you see.

What you see shapes what you do.

So can you walk us back through the thread of causality?

And do you believe belief then is the origin or is there something deeper that is really at the core of how we're shaping our perception?

Yeah.

How do expectations come into this?

I saw you refer to it in your book, The Wine Study.

There's many different examples of this.

I'm curious how what we are expecting to experience colors how we feel about the experience.

Yeah.

So then how do we extrapolate that into reality?

some sort of change in our day-to-day life for everybody that's listening right now that has these two examples of these studies that you referred to.

All right, well, we have so many different beliefs that are shaping our expectation.

Therefore, we're deriving meaning and coloring our experience in so many different ways.

In many ways, the quality of our life is very directly...

correlated to what we expect from it.

So walk us, yeah, where do we go from here for somebody that wants to see how they can take that analogy and those studies and incorporate it into their life?

The best thing to do

Where do you make the distinction?
