How Self-Help Sabotages Your Happiness


Listen Later

The self-help industry is a multi-billion dollar industry which feeds off your insecurities like a poisonous leech.

And while they promise to boost your confidence, attractiveness, and happiness, it actually does the exact opposite. Especially over the long term.

The self-help industry lures you into a trap which leads to burnout, misery, and even self-contempt.

In this episode, you’ll discover why self-help is toxic and how to improve your life without relying on shady self-help tactics.

Listen now and you’ll learn to accept yourself by the end of the episode.

Show Highlights Include:

  • The insidious “Toxic Trap” you learn from self-help and life coaches which obliterates your happiness and confidence (1:03)
  • The “Radical Self-Acceptance” secret for being content no matter what curveballs life throws you (9:47)
  • How self-help weaponizes your biggest insecurities and sabotages your long-term fulfillment (14:31)
  • Why trying to exile your shyness or social awkwardness actually steals your confidence instead of building it (16:58)
  • The counterintuitive way attending Tony Robbins events can cripple your self-esteem (22:58)
  • Why playing video games and watching porn reveal a deep psychological part of you that’s unsatisfied (37:20)
