The Self and Overthinking:
In this episode of the Quality of Mind Transforming Business podcast, host Piers chats with Andrew Sewell, a leadership and personal coach, and author of 'The Overthinker’s Guide to Life.'
Andrew shares his journey from scriptwriting and advertising to coaching. The conversation delves into the pervasive issue of overthinking, its roots in the modern emphasis on the self, and how our historical and societal constructs have exaggerated our sense of individual separateness.
They explore transformative insights into recognizing the fundamental oneness of existence, drawing from concepts in various spiritual traditions.
Through direct inquiry into the nature of thought, Andrew and Piers offer listeners practical wisdom on how to unhook from habitual thinking and experience a more relaxed and connected way of being.

This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates ''Before Psychology''- the Secret Source that exponentially increases the peace, performance, and potential for any individual or organisation.
This episode dives deep into the concept of 'flow' with executive coach Tim Downes. Piers and Tim discuss the innate human potential to experience flow, often misunderstood as a state that requires specific activities or external validations. They examine how recognising and inquiring into the nature of our true awareness—not our conditioned, separate self—can lead to a more consistent, effortless state of ease and flow in daily life. Key concepts such as mindfulness, the illusion of self, and the universal accessibility of flow without external aids are explored. The conversation covers:
Understanding Flow
Barriers to Flow
The Role of Self in Flow
Are There Phases to Flow?
Practical Insights on Achieving Flow
Summary: The Myths About Flow
