\u201cEspecially in the US, we\u2019re so heavily marketed quick-fix solutions and wellness fads, and things that aren\u2019t really backed in science or aren\u2019t foundationally good for us or serve us well,\u201d says Dossett, a US Navy Seal turned entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the problem with that, he argues, is, \u201cwhen you pursue things that are quick fixes or aren’t grounded in science, what you end up doing is losing agency or losing an ability to control things that you\u2019re designed to control.\u201d When what he believes the goal should be is, \u201cif you exert control in specific ways you can actually be better\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dossett has himself ventured into that crowded and often dubious world of wellbeing treatment with his book The Madefor Method<\/a> \u2013 except in his case, he is confident that his programme based on the principle of mindset is a sound and well-proven one. He can cite himself and his former Seal comrades as evidence of mindset in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dossett was the first guest on the WellBeings podcast, and he really summed up the intent of the series which is, \u201cconversations on the science of feeling good\u201d. If you haven\u2019t listened to it yet, or need a little re-jig on the foundations of wellbeing, we highly recommend giving it a listen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
