Ep. 223: Nick Davies — Midlife 3. Waking Up to the Life That Wants to Be Lived Through You

by Seth Gillihan, PhD

My guest this week is Nick Davies, back for his third time on the podcast. This time we focused on issues related to midlife, as this is part 3 of our series on that topic.

Things we discussed included:

  • Nick’s personal backstory and his decision to make a big change in his mid-thirties
  • Asking the right questions that can lead us to fulfillment
  • The danger of “normality” that doesn’t serve us well
  • Waiting for life to open up for you vs. creating the life you want
  • Unhelpful beliefs that can lead us to take a passive role in our own lives
  • Steven Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
  • The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
  • Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
  • Setting up your environment in a way that helps you flourish (e.g. life-giving relationships)
  • Knowing when to change ourselves vs. changing the situation
  • Returning to my clinical practice with a different mindset
