#131 - Owen Fitzpatrick - The Lies That Feel Most True Are The Ones You Tell Yourself
from Soulture · host Tim Doyle
Owen Fitzpatrick is a social psychologist, keynote speaker, and author of Inner Propaganda, a USA Today bestseller. Qualified as a hypnotherapist at seventeen, he has spent his life studying how beliefs are formed, working as a therapist and executive coach and traveling to North Korea, Afghanistan, and Rwanda to understand propaganda from the inside. He also hosts the Inner Propaganda podcast.Owen Fitzpatrick was fourteen years old when a single question in his own suicide note stopped him from ending his life, and he has spent every year since trying to understand why one sentence could change a belief that felt absolutely true. In this conversation, we explore why the brain works like a news channel with an editorial agenda, how feelings decide what gets to feel true, the rules for knowing when to trust your gut and when it is tricking you, why the inner critic is better understood as an inner dictator you can talk back to, the anti fragile identity story that turns every failure into training, and why believing what is useful can matter more than being right. It is a conversation about becoming less certain so you can believe in yourself more.How to Connect with Owen Fitzpatrick:Website: https://owenfitzpatrick.comInner Propaganda (Book): https://www.amazon.com/Inner-Propaganda-Leading-Through-Turbulent/dp/1646872444Book Bonuses: https://innerpropaganda.comInner Propaganda Podcast (Apple): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inner-propaganda-with-owen-fitzpatrick/id1441538919Inner Propaganda Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/2vqTSmjM67LblWgXoDqwU0YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@owenjf23Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/owenf23LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/owenfitzpTimestamps:00:00 The Inner Voice As Propaganda02:52 The Last Suicide Note10:59 Can Inner Propaganda Work In Your Favor?16:09 What Are We Blind To?22:44 Your Brain Is A News Channel27:28 Feeling Over Thinking31:58 When To Trust Your Gut37:30 Making Vs.
