Navigating the Lake
The Psychology Behind Everyday Choices
Every day, we make choices that shape the direction of our lives. Some are carefully considered, while others happen almost automatically, influenced by our thoughts, emotions, habits, values and the circumstances around us.
But what influences the decisions we make, and how far can their effects reach?
Welcome to Navigating the Lake, a podcast exploring the psychology behind everyday choices and the ripples they create.
Hosted by Chris Blackman, author of The Ripple Stone, each episode brings together relatable experiences, psychology, behavioural science and the Navigating the Lake framework to explore why we think, feel and behave the way we do.
From procrastination and decision-making to relationships, competing priorities and life's unexpected challenges, we'll explore how different influences interact, how our choices affect different areas of life, and how greater awareness can help us navigate more intentionally.
Whether you're curious about human behaviour, reflecting on your own experiences or looking to make more considered choices, there's something here to explore.

Beyond the Podcast
The conversation doesn't end when an episode finishes.
Sometimes an idea stays with us long after we've finished listening. It might change how we look at a familiar situation, encourage us to question an assumption or help us recognise something about choices we're making.
The Ripple Stone Podcast is one way of exploring those ideas. But the philosophy extends beyond each episode.
In The Ripple Stone, we explore Navigating the Lake in greater depth, looking at how their effects can reach across different areas of our lives.
Whether you've been listening for a while or have only just discovered the podcast, the book offers an opportunity to explore the philosophy further and consider what it might mean for your own journey.
Or, if you'd like to learn more about the framework first, you can explore Navigating the Lake here on the website.
