Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Leonardo DaVinci - these great masters of their time are considered geniuses. But this form of mastery is actually available to all of us. In this episode, Bobby Lyte discusses the book Mastery, by Robert Greene, which aims to share and educate a path towards mastery for all. A quote from the book: "In our culture we tend to equate thinking and intellectual powers with success and achievement. In many ways, however, it is an emotional quality that separates those who master a field from the many who simply work at a job. Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers." ..:: Patreon for Weekly Music, Merch and More ::..

In this episode, Bobby Lyte talks about the unique human gift of self awareness and our ability to choose our response to stimulus. He shares stories of Victor Frankl, whom, while in Nazi imprisonment, discovered what he called, "the last of the human freedoms". Understanding and practicing our use of this gift is the foundation of a life of autonomy and freedom. We are, whether conscious of it or not, responsible for our lives. ..:: Patreon for Weekly Music, Merch and More ::.. Want access to bonus music, designed to help you focus, every week?
