Listen Later

Today’s episode picks up where last week’s left off. Nick and Wayne continue their conversation about communication by delving into the dangers of perfectionism. They explore how poker forces you to fight off perfectionist impulses, cope with mistakes, and conquer performance deficiencies once and for all.

Key Takeaways

  • How perfectionism can set you up to burn out, quit, or fail.
  • How compassion can help you resolve major emotional conflicts.
  • How unresolved trauma and feelings of unsafety from the past stop us from dealing directly with our most complicated emotions.
  • How to use self-inquiry to unpack these feelings, act more logically, and stop distorting your perception.
