Imagine reaching the pinnacle of success, achieving all of your dreams and goals.   

You look around either in joy-ecstasy or utter despair.   

You ask yourself, "Is this all there is?"  

Or you feel contempt and disgust at yourself, spiraling into despair, unhappiness, and depression.   

This feeling is common among the highest achievers - Olympic athletes, CEO's, entrepreneurs, billionaires, and celebrities. It is a feeling that I personally experienced in 2008, thinking I had reached the pinnacle. Unfortunately, it is a feeling that is pervasive and more common with people searching for more fulfillment, happiness in their lives, yet unable to, searching, yearning for it, but confused by societal values, cultural conditioning, and the media.

Despite all of these outward accolades, Dr. Sogol still felt empty and unfulfilled. 

In this podcast episode, you will gain insights into why this frequently happens, where we delve into concepts such as the intention and energy behind the thought, emotion, and action, meditation, letting go, unconditional love, and acceptance, and many other concepts that will allow one to make peace with themselves, and achieve fulfillment, and happiness along with success.
