How you DECIDE to see the world will completely determine your quality of life. Objective reality is neutral - it's only once we "frame" it that it takes on meaning, value and pain. If you can learn how to control your frame, you can choose to make reality suit you, as well as protect yourself from the manipulation of others.

We have been raised to believe you need to acquire as much stuff as possible. You need more money, more clothes, more cars, more properties, more friends etc etc etc. And yet we're possible the most depressed generation of humans ever to existed. Is getting heaps of stuff really the answer, or is it just a conspiracy of consumerism to fund big corporations? Enter: the minimalists. A new wave of philosophy that says LESS is more. That experiences and people are more important than possessions. And that a mind can become uncluttered and confident once you have less stuff to worry about.

Social anxiety might feel like a life sentence, but millions of people have learned to overcome it and enjoy fulfilling social lives. You just need to know the daily exercises required to rewrite your inaccurate and outdated social beliefs. In this session we explore what social anxiety is, how everyone has it, and what you can do to relieve yourself of it, even if you've been severely bullied or rejected in the past.

Confidence is synonymous with being mentally tough and resilient. Being able to withstand things going wrong, people not liking you, failure and pain are the pillars of strong inner self-worth. But are we born with this or can it be learned and built? In this episode, we discuss the key actions you can take every day to become more mentally tough and resilient without needing any special talents, skills or resources.

Witness another real coaching session with Dan Munro and his long-time friend and client Anthony. Anthony is looking to boost his social courage by learning how to boldly and shamelessly show his attraction towards women he's interested in. In this session, we discuss how to show attraction towards all people, without neediness, dishonest seduction techniques, attachment to outcomes, or coming across as a creep.

Are you free to consciously make decisions? Do you have free will? Because if you do, then you and everyone else can be blamed for decisions and take pride in achievements. But if you don't have free will, everything changes. Concepts like disappointment, revenge, blame and self-loathing cannot make sense if there are no conscious elements to decision making. So we'd better make sure either way. In this podcast, we test the idea of free will and see if it's possible, or if it even makes sense - logically, scientifically and philosophically.

We think fame will make us feel loved. We think wealth will make us happy. We think religion will take us to God. Or we think science will provide the answers.

You might think of yourself as a nice person because you always cheer people up when they're feeling down. You might think of yourself as a kind person because you never argue or fight or cause problems. But what if underneath this pleasant exterior lurks a manipulative and damaged person, who has been trained and conditioned to keep others happy without really knowing why. As a veteran people-pleaser who's now in recovery and coaching other recovering approval seekers, I can tell you there's a good chance your "nice guy" act is a lie to conceal fear of rejection, confrontation and abandonment. Let's talk about what it means to stop caring what others think, stop c

"I knew that in order to stop children from being molested, I needed to stop hating the people who did it. It was simply a practical step I needed to take." Can you imagine NOT hating pedophiles?

Religious zealots, or pompous atheist infidels? Animal abusers? Vegans? White people? Immigrants? Women? Your dad? In this episode we explore the dark world of hate. We'll look at who you strongly dislike and why you feel that way. Most importantly, we'll explore how your hatred affects YOUR confidence. There may be a better way...

Over the last few decades we've seen a huge increase in debates over religion, particularly since the rise of atheism, with proponents like Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens leading the debate against faith-based beliefs. However, these debates may not be achieving their goal. While many people are leaving their faith and embracing atheism, many others are becoming even more fundamentalist in reaction to this opposition, while others are simply switching to another equally unscientific paradigm or left feeling lost and without purpose or understanding of life. In this episode, I explore the flaws commonly seen in debates against religion, and I pitch a new approach: one aimed at inclusivity, reasonableness and resolution.

Most of us would like to be more honest, but we hesitate due to fear that doing so would hurt others or get us into trouble. But the problem is we often confuse an increase in honesty with increasing truthfulness. The truth can't hurt people - reality is benign. But the way you present your reality can be harsh, judgmental and unhelpfully inaccurate. In this episode, we explore how to increase your honesty without doing damage.
