MindSnacks — The Podcast
Season 1
by Mehdi Bouchenak
If your life isn't where you want it to be — who's holding the pen? This episode is about agency: the shift from hoping to building, from blaming to owning, from waiting to be rescued to realizing the rescue was always us. We unpack three MindSnacks — Hope & Wish, Behind Our Blames, and Rescue Illusion — and sit with a question that runs underneath all three: what's the difference between wishing for a better life and actually constructing one? Along the way we get into why blame feels good but quietly costs us, why we're so wired to wait for someone to save us, and the difference between owning your next move and blaming yourself for the last one. Ownership isn't guilt. Guilt looks backward at fault; ownership looks forward at the next brick. No lectures. No preaching. Just one small idea at a time, and the space to make it your own. 📖 MindSnacks: 180 Degrees of Perspective is available now on Amazon ! 🎧 New episodes plant a seed — and give it soil.
What is a MindSnack — and why would anyone write 180 of them? In this opening episode, we introduce MindSnacks: a collection of bite-sized insights bridging hard science, soft science, and the spiritual — and the man behind it, Mehdi Bouchenak. We explore the philosophy that shaped the book (plant seeds, don't preach), why each insight is capped at around 130 words, and the belief at its core: that change doesn't start with more information, but with a shift in perspective. Along the way, two ideas surface as a taste of what's inside — the Puzzle of Life, and an invented word you won't find in any dictionary: freegiveness. No lectures. No preaching. Just one small idea at a time, and the space to make it your own. 📖 The book MindSnacks: 180 Degrees of Perspective is available now on Amazon ! 🎧 New episodes plant a seed — and give it soil.
