From host Kevin Miller: When I was 7 years old and got out of line, my parents would give me an “attitude adjustment” and make me listen to motivational speakers like Zig Ziglar. I didn’t appreciate it at the time but the experience gave me awareness of how powerful our minds and outlook on life are. I went on to become a pro athlete, have 9 kids, start 17 businesses and become addicted to performance and production. Till I burnt out. Multiple times. That started a quest to not just pursue p ...

7 Painful Paradoxes of Self-Improvement that Create More Problems Than They Solve
Manage episode 446760183 series 2398788

A lot of the self-improvement industry and advice is backwards. The more books we read the further away from our goals we become.
Ultimately we want to be happier yet we are accruing more and more things to fix before we are happy with ourselves.
In this episode, we explore the biggest paradoxes where the work we do can make us more brittle and breakable:
- Effortlessness Paradox - The harder we try the harder we make it
- Happiness Paradox - Pursuing Happiness instead chases it away
- Validation paradox - Seeking external validation prevents internal validation
- Emotions paradox - Suppressing emotions makes them overwhelm us
- The Shadow - Rejecting our flaws makes them worse
- Planning Paradox - Overplanning reduces adaptability
- Self-Improvement Paradox - The more things you find to fix the more broken you feel
Searching and finding can be different things.
We learn a more subtle approach to self-improvement that spends more time building wisdom and focusing on smaller immediately actionable steps with less chasing and running in circles.
We find answers to the question "How do we balance the art of wanting to improve whilst also wanting to live in contentment in the present?"
