Identity, Transformation & Why Your Nose Never Lies | Gabor Maté, L.A. Paul & Conan O'Brien | Perfect Days

Who will you be on the other side of your hardest decision? Four conversations for a Sunday morning — on emptying the mind, transformative choices, the smell of memory, and the self-doubt that never quite goes away. This is Perfect Days — a morning podcast built around ideas worth carrying with you. Today: Dr. Gabor Maté and the ancient Taoist practice of Xinzhai — the fasting of the heart — as a prescription for the overcrowded modern mind; philosopher L.A. Paul on why the biggest decisions of our lives cannot be prepared for, only lived through; the extraordinary neuroscience behind why smell is the most honest archivist of memory we have; and Conan O'Brien's raw, honest answer to a question most high-achievers are afraid to ask out loud — when, if ever, does the self-doubt stop?
