Interview with Behavioral Psychologist and Exercise Leader, Dr. Michael Mantell
According to our guest, Dr. Michael Mantell, we operate from three basic emotions — all negative. Without awareness, these fundamental emotions have the potential to derail us on our path to a happier, healthier life. Listen in to our conversation if you are ready to shift from a negative to positive state and achieve your fitness goals.
- You say “The Link is What You Think” What do you mean by that?
- What are “SACS” and how do they affect our health and life satisfaction?
- What role does the mind play in determining fitness, health and overall wellness?
- You just created a brand new definition of FIT. Tell us about it.
Dr. Michael Mantell works in the living room, the locker room and the board room. He lives by the philosophy, “Fitness is in the mind, fitness is for life–with lots of fun, laughter and enjoyment.”
