About this listen

In a noisy, distracted world, discernment is a superpower—and the key to that discernment lies in strengthening the inner instrument we too often ignore.

In this episode of Reality Inverted, we pause our exploration of cultural paradigms to focus on something foundational: mental fitness. Drawing from Vedanta’s model of the body, mind, and intellect, we examine how most of us are ruled by the mind—reactive, restless, never satisfied—while the intellect, our quiet inner compass, lies dormant.

You’ll learn:

  • How the intellect differs from the mind—and why it matters

  • What neuroscience tells us about why change feels threatening

  • How ancient wisdom and modern science agree on the power of mental training

  • Why mental fitness is not just helpful—but essential—for questioning our deepest assumptions

This isn’t about adding beliefs. It’s about seeing clearly—through the ones you already hold.
And that takes practice.
