Beyond Success

On the Origins of Dr. Strange: Narcissism, Self-Worth, & Morality


Listen Later

Dr. Strange gives you a masterclass in human psychology. Stephen Strange was the classic narcissist who tied his entire identity to his career. 

So when he lost his surgical hands, he was ready to give up on life. 

But instead of sulking, he redeemed his narcissistic characteristics by becoming selfless. 

In this episode, we’ll dissect Stephen Strange from the first Dr. Strange movie, so you don’t make the same mistakes he did. 

Listen now.

Show Highlights Include:

  • Why basing your self-worth on everything you achieve like Dr. Strange drives everyone you care about out of your life (9:00) 
  • The fatal psychological flaw in all superhero movies which can cripple your relationships if you take it literally (9:49)
  • The insidious way “nice guys” are doomed in relationships (even as they become more confident with women) (19:47) 
  • Why striving for success at all costs makes you miserable (even if you think it fulfills you) (30:55)  

Does your neediness, fear, or insecurity sabotage your success with women? Do you feel you may be unlovable?
