How Brainwashing Keeps You in a Life You Don’t Want 

How Brainwashing Keeps You in a Life You Don’t Want 

Are You Thinking Your Own Thoughts… Or Someone Else’s? Let me ask you something—have you ever stopped to wonder if the thoughts you’re thinking are actually yours? In this conversation, I sat down with Rebecca Lemov, a Harvard professor and author of The Instability of Truth, and what unfolded was a real eye-opener. We didn’t just scratch the surface—we went into the guts of how we get conditioned to believe things about the world… and about ourselves… without even realizing it. Rebecca laid out something that really hit me: brainwashing doesn’t start with someone else taking control of your mind—it begins when you stop asking questions. That moment when you stop challenging your beliefs, when you’re scrolling, liking, agreeing without even knowing why—that’s where it starts. She walked me through a chilling example: a Facebook study where they manipulated nearly 700,000 users' moods without their knowledge. That’s real. That happened. And if that doesn’t wake you up, I don’t know what will. We also got personal. I shared how trauma—whether from rejection, heartbreak, or failure—can create space for a mind virus to take root. That voice in your head saying, “You’re not good enough,” “You’ll never succeed,”—that’s not truth. That’s programming. And unless you confront it, question it, and replace it, it’ll trap you in a version of your life that’s far smaller than what you were made for. Rebecca made it clear: being educated or intelligent doesn’t make you immune—it might even make you more vulnerable. This episode isn’t about conspiracy theories or pointing fingers—it’s about ownership. About reclaiming your identity, your voice, your individuality. Don’t go through life unknowingly living in someone else’s version of who you’re supposed to be. Don’t meet God at the end and realize you lived someone else's life because you never questioned your own thoughts. You want to change your life? Start by challenging what you assume to be true. Start asking better questions. Key Takeaways: Brainwashing often starts from within—when you stop questioning your own thoughts. Trauma can open the door for limiting beliefs to become your internal truth. Social media algorithms are designed to manipulate your mood and feed confirmation bias. There are 8 classic signs of brainwashing, but the key one? Control over your environment. Intelligence doesn’t protect you from mind control—it can deepen the illusion. Challenge your assumptions, and you can change your entire life trajectory. Let this be your wake-up call. You don’t have to be part of a group to have value. You’re not your past. You’re not your trauma. You're an individual—and your thoughts matter. 👉 SUBSCRIBE TO ED'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW 👈 → → → CONNECT WITH ED MYLETT ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ← ← ← ➡️ INSTAGRAM ➡️FACEBOOK ➡️ LINKEDIN ➡️ X ➡️ WEBSITE Get my exclusive Monday Motivation training in GrowthDay, the world’s #1 app for advanced mindset and personal development.
