In this episode, you'll discover some simple strategies that will help you kick your porn addiction cold turkey.

Setting goals helps you experience happiness, strive for something greater, and can add to your fulfillment. But setting goals can also make you miserable, fill you with darkness, and sabotage your life.

And even if you reach your goals, you realize you're still not happy. Because reaching your goals makes you happy for 90 seconds. That's it.

The solution?

Using goals as your "north star." They help guide your actions, but you don't have to sacrifice your happiness in the moment.

In this episode, you'll discover a new approach to setting goals that boosts your happiness and likelihood you'll achieve them.

If Jesus came back today, do you think you'd drop everything and follow him? How many other people do you think would do the same?

In the Bible, a rich man refuses to follow Jesus because he was too attached to his possessions. In the real world, we're all the rich man — no matter how wealthy we are.

Chances are, you've prayed about or wished for something that you've had an opportunity to pursue. But you didn't because you would've had to sacrifice everything. I know it's scary because I've gone through the same battle.

But what if that opportunity gave you a feeling of ecstasy that you couldn't find anywhere else? And what if you only had one opportunity to experience this?

In this episode, you'll discover why dropping everything for a life-altering opportunity is frightening. And why that means you should do it even more.

Listen to the episode now and let the doors of massive change open right in front of you.

Humans are weird. We worry about our kids, our jobs, our relationships, our finances, and everything in between. But we don't have control over these things most of the time.

Most people think knowledge improves their life. The more you "know," the more you can win arguments, impress others, and build a better life.

The truth is that knowledge clouds your judgement, creates fake problems, and depletes your joy. These false truths you believe can even turn into wicked root issues that make true happiness impossible.

There's a reason people say "ignorance is bliss." When you embrace ignorance, you unlock all the joys of life that are right in front of you right now. It sounds counterintuitive, but it works.

In this episode, you'll discover how being honestly ignorant makes you happier, helps you build a healthier marriage, and puts your life on "easy mode."

Listen to this episode now before your knowledge wrecks everything good in your life.

• Why admitting you don't know your spouse is the single greatest way to improve your marriage (17:59)

Society has conditioned you to chase perfection since we were kids. Your parents praised you if you did your homework. And scolded you if you didn't eat your veggies.

This idea tricks you into believing your worth as a person is tied to your actions. You feel invisible when you win. And like an utter loser when you make a mistake.

But nothing sacrifices your happiness and joy more than chasing perfection. And it's not even tied to reality — your worth as a person has nothing to do with how smart, skilled, or perfect you are.

In this episode, you'll discover how to stop chasing perfection so you can experience happiness on autopilot.

Work is the biggest source of stress, misery, and overwhelm in the world. And it doesn't even exist. Work is nothing but an expenditure of energy — labeling it "work" causes stress, anxiety, and misery.

But there's an easy solution for this:

If you stop thinking about it as "work," it becomes easier, more fun, and more fulfilling. And you experience a deeper sense of happiness too.

In this episode, you'll discover how to never work again for the rest of your life.

Religion helps many people overcome their struggles. But it also fills people with guilt, shame, and worthlessness which feeds their addictions.

Why?

Because religion is filled with stories about God that aren't true. Humans have misinterpreted these stories for as long as religion has been around.

Here's the truth:

God is nothing more than the ability to experience a divine state of being. You can tap into this divine state once you realize the history of God (even if you're not religious). And once you do, you can throw your addictions out the window.

In this episode, I reveal how better understanding the history of God can free you from your addictions. And I give you a new way to view God (without losing your religion).

Listen to the episode now and discover why God doesn't want you feeling ashamed and worthless.

Show highlights include:

• The counterintuitive way your religious upbringing feeds you porn addiction (2:03)
• How being shamed for your addictive tendencies increases your addictions instead of helping you ditch them (3:02)
• Why psychologists are dead wrong when they blame religion for your addictions (and the true cause of your addictive behaviors) (4:17)
• The weird "God as a Phone" idea that helps you overcome your addictions (6:50)
• How to free yourself from the unfounded, religious stories that fill you with shame (without sacrificing your belief in God) (24:22)
