Episode 208 - Are you choosing your life?
On this episode Brian explores the concept of personal choice and responsibility in self-development and life circumstances.

- Questioning everything is a powerful tool for personal growth and conscious living
The Unconscious Autopilot:
- Majority of people live unconsciously, driven by survival mechanisms
