Getting Out of Your Own Way Is the First Step
Have you ever caught yourself in a loop of self-doubt? That feeling when you desperately want to achieve something, but you just can't seem to make it happen because you're your own worst enemy. How many times have you talked yourself out of a great idea?
It’s a familiar spot for most of us. We have a clear direction we want to go, yet a little voice in our head insists we’re going to fail. Maybe that voice shows up when you’re trying to get in shape. Or maybe the doubts creep in when you think about finally making a career change or even just getting the courage for . For others, that nagging voice keeps them from building the relationships they truly want. We all want something more, but most of us struggle to get there, never quite understanding why others seem to move forward so easily while we stay stuck.

That’s when the journey to figure this all out began. I started by reaching out to the two most self-aware people I know—my mentor and his mentor. From there, I connected with other experts, including doctors of psychology, neuroscientists, and leading minds in cognitive science. I was able to pull from the insights of Nobel Prize winners and top researchers.
Slowly, a clear picture started to form. I began to understand exactly what had happened to me and, more importantly, why it happened. This research gave me clarity on how others could replicate the process for themselves, without the life-threatening prerequisite. As I pieced it all together, I worked to simplify the complex ideas and distill the critical insights. My goal was to answer the big questions.
