Your Values Determine Your Learning Capacity (How to Transform Your Focus, Memory, and Motivation)

Dr. John Demartini joins the show to explain how your highest personal values dictate what you notice, what you remember, and whether you take action. He shares how he overcame dyslexia and a speech impediment to read over 30,000 books and teach in more than 100 countries. The conversation covers how to discover your own top values, why the brain filters out anything not aligned with them, and a technique for linking any subject to what matters most so you stop procrastinating. Demartini also presents a framework for turning polarized debates into genuine dialogue that opens the door to real perspective change.
