When a Lifelong Coach Encounters Quality of Mind: Exploring Beyond the Avatar.
This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates “Before Psychology” — the secret source that exponentially increases peace, performance, and potential for any individual or organisation.
🧭 Episode Summary
In this open and thought-provoking episode, Piers welcomes Adam Shuty to discuss his diverse journey from martial arts, to standup comedy, and his current enterprise, Everest Longevity. Having explored decades of personal development, performance psychology, and transformation work, Adam wanted to know: What exactly is this “Before Psychology” thing? His immediate resonance with the conversation signalled there was more to see. What unfolds is a live exploration and inquiry looking fresh to see what sits beyond all methods and mindsets.
The Discussion Covers
The case of mistaken identity — why believing we are a separate “me” is the root illusion behind all striving.
The sky and the weather — a simple metaphor for understanding awareness and thought.
''Real but never true'' — how experience can feel vividly real yet not be fundamentally true or causal.
From trying to flow — why the intelligence of life does better work when we stop trying to manage our minds.
Direct experience inquiry — how to look freshly, without concepts, and glimpse what never comes or goes.
Practical implications — what happens to leadership, relationships, and even financial legacy when we see who we truly are.
