The Motivated Mind

The Problem With Self-Help


Listen Later

Self-help used to be simple: read a book, take a walk, call your mom. Now it feels like you need a 28-step morning routine, a cold plunge, 17 supplements, and a $90 notebook just to feel like a functioning human being. Somewhere along the way, “improving your life” turned into a performance. This video is about that shift and why so much of modern self-help leaves us feeling more overwhelmed than transformed.

New here? I’m Scott 👋 I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Now I make videos about mastering your mindset, building better habits, and actually enjoying the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread. Please subscribe so my wife doesn’t make me go back to a “real” job.
