Dr. Vieten directs the Center for Human Imagination at UC San Diego, leads the Center for Mindfulness at UC San Diego’s Centers for Integrative Health, and her research has been cited more than 5,000 times.
Together, Mel and Dr. Vieten unpack the science behind changing your mindset in order to change your life.
You’ll discover how your mind shapes your reality and learn practical, research-backed techniques to shift your thinking and create new possibilities.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-The difference between manifestation and magical thinking
-How your imagination shapes your decisions, identity, and future
-How to stop reacting to life and start intentionally creating it

-How to meet your future self and use that vision to make better decisions today
-How to break out of a “reality tunnel” and see possibilities you have been missing
Dr. Vieten’s research is clear: Your imagination is not an escape from reality. It is one of the most powerful tools you have to change how you see your life, what you believe is possible, and what you do next.
By the end of this episode, you will know how to get off autopilot, break free from the stories holding you back, and use imagination, visualization, and manifestation to start creating a more intentional and hopeful future.
