The Curiosity of Experience with Chris Manning Ph.D.

“Experiences are the best teachers ….” 

We often want to know how to discover more about ourselves, who we are, what drives us, what motivates us, and what makes us happy.

But how do we do this? Do we read books, listen to podcasts (yes, please!), go to workshops, go on trips, go on retreats…maybe we do all or none of those things.

The key is to have an open curiosity about your own experience every day. 

We all want safety, to feel loved, understood, and to thrive. 

In this episode of THE GO REFLECT YOURSELF PODCAST, we will explore with Chris Manning, The Coauthor of NeuroWisdom, the power of your experiences and how having curiosity can enhance your life.

The Go Reflect Yourself Podcast

——-

To truly have the life you want; the career, house, family, relationships, car, lifestyle, wealth, freedom, you name it….you must learn what success is and where it comes from, starting with how you think.

Welcome to The Go Reflect Yourself Podcast, where we provide 60-second brain-based strategies for your success; in all key areas of your life, including wealth, health, business, relationships, etc. 

Go Reflect Yourself was created after years of being a corporate employee and an independent business owner. Throughout all of those years, I learned that no matter what level of success people had achieved, and specifically financial success, typically, they were still missing something, missing true joy, well-being, and fulfillment. 

I’ve spent a career helping business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs learn the skills needed to discover their inner brilliance.

 

That’s how Go Reflect Yourself was born. My goal is to help as many as possible learn the necessary skills to achieve ultimate fulfillment and well-being.
