When it comes to decision making, there's a huge amount of visible complexity, and the factor that you've mentioned is one of the things that make it easier for us to react rather than to respond, right. So there's that space between the event and the response or the reaction that's golden.
Ever wondered why some people make better decisions than others, especially when it comes to addiction? This episode of 'Let The Journey Begin' features Dr. Alan Barnard, a speaker, entrepreneur, and CEO of Goldratt Research Labs. Joining hosts Alex Meschi and Jaana Woodbury, Dr. Barnard dives into the fascinating world of decision-making and its impact on addiction recovery. From an early age, Dr. Barnard was captivated by what drives our choices, especially the bad ones made by good people.
He shares his journey into behavioral psychology and decision science to uncover why we react rather than respond to life's challenges. Dr. Barnard explains how understanding positive and negative responses to life events can be a game-changer for those battling addiction. He emphasizes that addicts are inherently good people who have chosen negative coping mechanisms to deal with their struggles. Intriguingly, he argues that overcomplicating addiction treatment with too many steps can actually hinder recovery, leading to higher failure rates.
Listeners will gain insights into the Goldratt Research Labs app, designed to aid in better decision-making for addiction recovery. Dr. Barnard also touches on the role of advertising and limiting beliefs in shaping our choices. This episode is packed with actionable advice and fresh perspectives on how good decision-making can pave the way for a healthier, addiction-free life.
So, if you're looking for a new angle on addiction recovery or just curious about the science behind our choices, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover how mastering your decisions can be the key to overcoming addiction.
