One of the best ways to become more attractive to women, to feel more fulfilled in your life, and to generally boost your happiness is by building up your internal self-worth.

But this practice is easier said than done. And men today often make the mistake of trying to build their self-worth on external sources, like needing attractive women to be attracted to them. This not only backfires, but creates an unrelenting source of neediness that's waiting to poison any relationship they get into.

That's the bad news.

The good news?

Even if you rely on external validation for your self-worth today, it's possible to fix this. I did this myself after building my persona on external validation, going through an existential crisis, and attempting suicide.

But you don't have to go through these same struggles if you listen to this episode.

In today's show, you'll discover how you can cultivate a sense of value and self-worth that's rooted in yourself. You'll learn how shifting this mindset not only makes you more attractive as a person, but also leads to healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life. And I'll share some practical tips for starting your internal self-worth journey today.

Listen now.
