Practicing martial arts teaches you more about living a life full of happiness than any self-help book or support group ever could. Why? Because martial arts reveal how to use your environment and emotions to your advantage. Too many people blame other people and their circumstances for how they feel. This turns you into a helpless victim and makes it impossible to change your life. But when you can consciously use your emotions, they become an adventure instead of an accident. And your life bec...

In our modern society, we put too much emphasis on our minds, thoughts, and feelings. The problem with this is your mind is just a fraction of your total experience of life. In fact, your whole body is a brain. And I can prove it. Pinch your finger right now and you’ll experience pain signals shooting up to your brain. Yet, when it comes to emotional baggage, trauma, addictions, and other mental ailments, we forget about the body and hyperfocus on the mind. If you want to permanently free yourse...

Do your problems or negative thought patterns haunt you to your core? No matter what steps you take, you can't get rid of it.

He was trying too hard to figure out “how” to solve this problem. But there is no “how.” You can only escape this vicious cycle by realizing the truth of your circumstance. In this episode, I shar...

Do you ever wonder what the purpose of life is? Most of the time this happens because you feel negative in some way. You’re searching for a reason that your life should be different. But this is your creation. You’ve gotten so good at creating misery you don’t realize you made it in the first place. So how do you overcome this? By simply “being.” Remember: we’re all human beings. Not human becomings or human doings. When you just “be,” you can see the miracles of life because you’re in touch wit...

In our modern society, everyone rushes from Point A to Point B. We never give ourselves a chance to relax and do nothing. Yet we all wonder where our anxious thoughts and worries come from.

And giving you permission to do nothing so you can experience true relaxation and peace. Show highlights include: How rushing aro...

Many people feel broken because they tie themselves down to false ideas about who they are. You’re not your habits, hobbies, and beliefs any more than you are your clothes. These are accumulations that make it impossible for you to change your life. And the more accumulations you have, the more divided you become. Every new accumulation creates new pieces of you. And make it that much harder to experience the freedom of being yourself. In this episode, I’m revealing how to free yourself from the...

In the Bible, Jesus forgives an adulterous woman long before she forgives herself. In fact, he reveals to her that the only one condemning her is herself. Here’s why this matters even if you’re not religious: Only you are punishing yourself for your sins, mistakes, and past traumas. This creates hopelessness, depression, anxiety, and even addiction. But once you figure out how to stop criticizing yourself, you’ll experience more happiness than you thought possible. In this episode, I’m revealing...

Addiction doesn’t say more about you as a person than a runny nose. But we often stop looking at ourselves as humans and start seeing ourselves as “addicts”. Not only does this keep us enslaved to our compulsions, but it fills us with guilt and shame. The antidote to addiction isn’t creating more suffering. It’s learning the skill of freedom like a toddler learns how to ride a bike. Want to free yourself from your addictions for good? Hit play and listen to this episode. Show highlights include:...

In life, we focus on removing the bad behaviors, habits, and actions to become happier. But we never take the time to reflect on good things that are slowly sabotaging our joy. Take your phone and money for example. Both of these tools can help you live an easier and happier life. But they can also latch onto you like a parasite and slowly destroy your well-being. They’re what I call phoney friends — and they can be much more lethal than your worst addictions because they’re helpful. In this epi...

Too often in life we have a “poker face.” We hide our true emotions and pretend to be unfazed by painful feelings. We do this in our relationships, with our spirituality, in our careers, and on social media. All this bluffing and hiding your authentic self tricks the people around you. Not only does it harm them, but it harms you. Whenever you lie, you force your brain to justify it — which drowns you in worry, fear, and even resentment. In this episode, I’m revealing how to lift off the mask to...

There are several times throughout our lives when we’re chained to the couch and our motivation is depleted. That’s when we turn to Tony Robbins and other motivational videos to kick us into gear.

12-step programs and other well-meaning groups have done a lot of good in the world. But they’ve also ruined people’s sense of freedom and joy. These programs try to help members escape addictions, but accidentally traumatize people into thinking they’re the only way to treat addiction, depression, and anxiety. The truth is there isn’t only one way to overcome addiction, self-loathing, anxiety, or depression. And you should steer clear of any program which says they’re the only way. In this epis...

Too often in relationships, we put up boundaries and “keep out signs.” This is especially true in marriages. We think we’re protecting the other person but we’re actually slowly poisoning the marriage and ourselves. Why? Because you can’t become one with the other person when boundaries are involved. It’s not easy to become one with your spouse, but nothing will give you a more profound healing experience than becoming one with your partner. In this episode, I’m revealing how powerful this weird...

Most people say they want a beautiful transformation in their life that frees them from all their unhappy thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and addictions. But they don’t realize what they’re asking for — it means you must sacrifice all the good in your life too. You can’t do this with a magic pill, hypnotist, or 6-week program. The only way to do this is by “becoming freedom.” And you can only become freedom by killing your old self and becoming someone new. It’s not easy, but it’s possible. And ...

When you face obstacles and challenges, it’s easy to suppress your feelings and seek outside validation and comfort instead. Since you were a kid, you’ve been taught that you can find comfort in your suffering because of the coddle culture you live in. But seeking comfort for your problems doesn’t solve them, it makes them worse. Growing up in a coddle culture actually makes it impossible to face and conquer your problems. In this episode, I’m revealing how coddle culture ruins your ability to h...

When you put someone up on a pedestal, you throw yourself down in a pit. And when you look at others as beneath you, you discount their opinions and beliefs.

In this episode, I’m revealing the dangers of comparison and how to stop looking up to or down at the people in your life. Nothing will create more happiness in your life tha...

The Bible has been through billions of different interpretations. That means there’s no reliable way to truly understand what the originator meant. There’s a problem with following sacred books like the Bible: We create our own gospels based on our perceptions and then browbeat other people into believing it. This cripples our relationships, self-esteem, and general sense of wellbeing. If your interpretation is correct, you don’t need to prove it to other people. In this episode, I’m revealing h...

Many of us think that we need to be passionate about something to live a fulfilling life. But that’s not true. In fact, you seek passion in the first place because you’ve taught yourself to suffer.

But when you eliminate your suffering, you don’t need a purpose or passion. Instead, you realize that incredible bliss is always at your fingertips. In this episode, I’m rev...

There’s some divine intelligence inside you that’s responsible for all of your growing and living. Here’s what that means for you: You don’t need to “fix” your problems.

Throughout your life, you’ve been brainwashed into using other peoples’ eyes and ears to live your life. And it’s usually from people with the best intentions. Even revered historical figures like the stoic philosophers subconsciously programmed you. But when you let other authorities guide your life, you trade in your eyes and ears for theirs. When you don’t follow your own eyes and ears, you’re letting other people live your life for you. And nothing puts you on the fast track to misery and su...

We don’t really know who we are. So we create imaginary stories in our head so we can understand ourselves better. But these stories are at the root of all your suffering.

Addiction is no more of a spiritual problem than picking your nose. In fact, it wasn’t until the early 1900s that addiction was even considered a spiritual problem. Here’s why this matters for you: Having addictive tendencies or compulsive behaviors doesn’t mean you’re spiritually bankrupt. Instead, it means that your body and mind are working properly — but your limiting beliefs about addiction are holding you back. If you want to dismantle your limiting beliefs and quit your addictions for goo...

When you examine addiction up close and personal you realize something: You’re addicted to your memories of your first experiences of your addiction — not to the thing itself. This is why it’s never been proven that addictive substances or behaviors exist. In other words, your nostalgia seeps into your brain and convinces you to give into your addictions (even if they leave you unsatisfied afterwards). In this episode, I’m revealing why nostalgia is so powerful and how to train your mind to igno...

You get in your own way more than you think. This is especially true when you want something — like more money, a better relationship with your spouse, or to ditch your mental health problems. Here’s the trouble: The more you want something, the harder it is to get it. It goes against what every motivational speaker will tell you, but it’s true. Instead of wanting something, you need to become it. For example, if you want a happier life, you have to become happiness first. In this episode, I’m r...
