Your Brain Is Predicting Reality — Dr. Srini Pillay on Intuition, Belief, and Luck

What if your brain isn’t simply reacting to reality — but actively predicting it?

In this conversation, Timothy Schultz speaks with Dr. Srini Pillay, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and neuroscientist, about how the brain shapes perception, belief, intuition, and what many people describe as “luck.”

Rather than approaching the law of attraction as a belief system, Dr. Pillay explains it through neuroscience — including how visualization, emotion, attention, and expectation influence what we notice and how we act.

Topics include the brain as a prediction machine, intuition and dreams, heart–brain coherence, unfocused awareness, and why openness may matter more than effort when it comes to opportunity.

This is a grounded, thoughtful conversation for anyone interested in the science behind intuition, meaning, and the inner life.
