410: Nona Jones on the Roots of Rejection, Patterns of Self-Sabotage, Why Behavior is an Outgrowth of Beliefs, Taking Thoughts Captive vs. The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Two Types of People in Your Life

People who crumble beneath the weight of rejection never realize their full potential, but people who learn to use rejection as a catalyst experience fulfillment in their lives. My friend Nona Jones is back on the podcast this week to discuss the roots of rejection, patterns of self-sabotage, and why positive thinking is a gimmick compared to the power of the renewed mind. She’ll teach us about the two types of people in our lives.
