Ken Robinson is a British author, speaker and international advisor on education to government, non-profits, education and arts bodies.

In his book, Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, Robinson considers the child bored in class, the disillusioned employee and those of us who feel frustrated but can't quite explain why: and shows how we all need to reach our ‘Element’, the point at which natural talent meets personal passion.

In this month’s podcast, I cover a large part of the book in more detail, and consider how Robinson’s ideas can be used at retirement age.

In this third episode, I delve into Dr Joe Dispenza’s “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to lose your mind and create a new one.” Dr Dispenza studied biochemistry with an emphasis on neuro-chemistry at Rutgers University and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta Georgia.

I cover 8 main ideas from Dr Dispenza’s book and, with reflection and questions, apply his thinking to how that impacts on life after retirement and in so doing challenge not only preconceived ideas but also elicit new possibilities for life beyond retirement.

In Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Dr Dispenza provides and entertaining and highly accessible manual for rewiring our mental and emotional circuitry, which offers a simple but potent message: what we think today determines how you live tomorrow.

In this podcast I’m looking at a more recent work, delving into Dr Bruce Lipton’s “The Biology of Belief.”

Dr Bruce Lipton is a renowned cell biologist by training who taught cell biology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and later performed pioneering studies at Stanford University School of Medicine.

In “The Biology of Belief” Dr Lipton explains how our knowledge of our bodies and our biology is crucial in understanding how thinking can affect change, and impact on our circumstances, our health, our purpose and our life in general.

In my podcast, I cover seven ideas from Dr Lipton’s book and, with reflection, apply his thinking to how that impacts on life after retirement.
