A Guide To Mental Self-Mastery - Ryan Bush - #302

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, you wonderful humans. Welcome back. My guest today is Ryan Bush. He's a systems designer and an author. Redesigning your mind is hard because there are a lot of influences at play. A very comprehensive approach is needed to really impact our mindset. And today, I actually think that I might have found someone who has all the tools. Expect to learn how to design your mind to work with you and not against you, how to cultivate metacognition, how to rewire your mental biases, how to structure your emotions, how to modulate your desires, how to build self-control and much more. If that sounds like quite a bold claim, then I'm pretty prepared to put my money where my mouth is. Ryan just reached out to me because I think he likes the show and it aligned with what he was doing. This book and the stuff that he goes through today is absolutely phenomenal. For the people that listened to Kyle Eschenroder's episode toward the back end of last year, again, just another like underground monster. This guy is understanding of how mental self mastery can be achieved is insane. You really, really should take tons away from this. So yeah, I really hope that you enjoy it. And if you do share the episode with a friend or give me a message wherever you follow me at chriswillx, also get ready because this Monday, Dr. Jordan B Peterson will be joining me on Modern Wisdom. I've been looking forward to this episode ever since I started the show. And yeah, I'm really hoping that I provide a conversation from him that we maybe haven't heard before.

In other news, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by Pure Sport CBD. Pure Sport CBD has just released the world's first nootropics infused CBD oils designed to get you through any problem that the day might throw at you. I have been using their Unwind, which is the bedtime CBD blend they've just created. One of the problems when you offered all of these weird and wonderful different supplements is you don't know which ones to take, how much of each to take, whether or not they're going to interact in weird and different ways. What Pure Sport have done by creating these custom blends is they've done all of the hard work for you. The nighttime one, this Unwind that I've been using a lot has valerian rootin, which is known as nature's valium, chamomile, an antioxidant-rich flower that promotes sleepiness and reduces insomnia, lavender, which has been used for thousands of years as a calming agent, and vitamin B complex, an essential group of vitamins the body needs every day, which helps reduce stress and enhance your mood. For me, this really has impacted my sleep really positively. I've stopped waking up during the night as much. I mean, how hard is it for me to really dial in just how much of an effect it's having? Since taking it, my sleep has improved unequivocably. I implore you to just try it out. Head to puresportcbd.com and use the code MW20 for 20% off. If you're skeptical, try it, see how you get on. 20% off all full priced items with the code MW20. And if you're anywhere in the world, it is international shipping for £6.99. That's puresportcbd.com and the code MW20 for 20% off all full priced items. I highly recommend that you try out The Unwind, but they also have a huge suite of other products that you can go and check out. Go and see if you can upgrade your sleep game today. In other news, this episode is brought to you by Reebok and their amazing Nano 11 Now, some people have been having challenges with the code, the MW20 code for the Nano 11 I think it's technically because they're not supposed to be discounting a brand new pair of shoes. But go on, if you can't get a discount on the Nano 11, there are pairs of Nano 10s on there, already reduced to 70 pounds, and you can get a further 20% off. You can get a pair of Nano 10s, which are still phenomenal. Probably one of the best shoes I've ever worn in my life for about 59 quid, which is ridiculous. Head to reebok.co.uk and use the code MW20 for 20% off everything site-wide. Some days apparently it works on the 11s, some days it only works on the Nano Xs, but you can also get 20% off all of their shorts, leggings, tops, hoodies, t-shirts and all other training equipment.
