Rearranging Prejudices: The Art of Real Thinking

from The Soul Podcast - Tools For a Joyful Life · host Stacey Wheeler

Send us Fan Mail  In this episode, I explore how we often mistake rearranging old beliefs for real thinking, as William James called it “rearranging our prejudices.” I dive into how our tribal instincts keep us stuck, labeling new ideas as exceptions to avoid change. I share simple steps like questioning assumptions, sitting with discomfort, and admitting when we’re wrong to help us grow into a truer, more open version of ourselves.Support the show and unlock bonus episodes for $5+ patrons: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheSoulPodSHOW NOTESQuotes:"Many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices." -William James“Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.” - Anaïs NinSocial Media:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/soulpodstudioX @SoulPodcastShowCheck Out The Soul Pod Video Channels:The SoulPod on RumbleThe SoulPod on YouTubeTake the listener survey hereCoaching - Free 30 minute Discovery Call https://www.stacey-wheeler.com/ Support the showHas the show made a difference for you?
