What We Get WRONG About Self Improvement

In this clip, Chris and I explore the journey toward self-discovery and personal growth. Chris challenges the common misconception that inner work is a quick fix, emphasizing the importance of endurance and continuous self-reflection. He believes that true happiness and authenticity come from understanding your entire story, rather than leaving parts of yourself behind. Chris delves into the dangers of people-pleasing and the tendency to cater to external influences, particularly in today's social media-driven world. I explain how many individuals, especially men high in trait agreeableness, can become lost in trying to meet the expectations set by society and popular figures. Often leading to a disconnect from our true selves. Exploring the concept of shadow work, Chris explains how integrating all aspects of ourselves is essential for finding our true voice and purpose. Throughout the conversation, Chris shares valuable tools and systems that have aided his journey, including insights from therapy and influential figures. He highlights the critical first step of asking for help, often the hardest yet most rewarding part of the process. #personalgrowth #innerwork #selfdiscovery #authenticity #shadowwork #menswork #personaldevelopment #selfimprovement #mentalhealth #therapy
