How To Create A Happy Mind And Happy Life with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee

This episode is brought to you by Gut Food, Rupa Health,
BiOptimizers, and Beekeeper’s Natural. As humans, we’re natural
storytellers. We like telling our friends the funny thing that
happened at work, but we’re also really good at making up stories
about things that happen in life and applying them to our identity
and worldview. We can start believing these stories all too easily.
But, they’re actually just stories! And we have a choice about what
we believe and how we create our reality.  I’m so excited to
share this conversation I recently had with my good friend Dr.
Rangan Chatterjee, all about cultivating greater health and
happiness by breaking down the barriers we’ve put up in our own
minds.  Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most
influential doctors in the UK. Host of the #1 Apple podcast, Feel
Better, Live More, and presenter of BBC 1’s Doctor in the House,
