Wanting is one of our most powerful levers for change. Not what you want, but your relationship to wanting itself. In this episode, Joe sits down with AOA facilitator Alexa Kistler (and Brett’s wife) to unpack why so many people are at war with their desires and how ending that war offers a path out of suffering.

They discuss:

Wanting, craving, and aversion
Childhood patterns that take us away from wanting
Identity shifts when you allow yourself to want
How not owning desire makes you more manipulable, not less
Why chasing outcomes creates suffering, even when you succeed

Research mentioned:

Women are more agreeable than men across cultures
