117: How To Become the Most Amazing Version of You

We are the Creators of our Future So much of life can feel like it’s beyond our control. That is a completely valid feeling. But the truth is that as self creationists we accept that feeling while recognizing that there are things that we, in fact, CAN control.

Rob Dyrdek is here to talk us through steps and strategies that allow us to co...

109: How to Always Keep Momentum

Are you depressed? Or did you just lose momentum? Momentum is more important to your existence and your happiness than you may realize. It is the thing that drives you toward the future you desire.

107: Your Health and Decision-Making are Completely Intertwined

Health has as much effect on how you think as it does on how you look. When we think about improving our health, it is most often associated with looking better and generally feeling better. But there is also a direct correlation between the quality of your health and the quality of your decision-making. When you are eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep, your mind is clearer. When your brain is sharp, you procrastinate less, you process information faster, you contextualize inputs p...

Automate your way toward energy neutrality and effortlessness. The reality is that you have limited time and energy to deploy on this thing you call your life. They are both finite resources. And even if you don’t realize it, you are constantly driving aspects of your life toward a state of energy neutral. Unfortunately, bad habits and destructive systems can be a part of this if you don’t consciously control them. The elements that have a profoundly positive effect on your life, such as your he...

102: The Three Layers of Ultra Awareness

Are you really as self-aware as you think you are? Self-awareness is fundamental to achieving happiness in life. If you don’t know who you are, or think you’re something you’re not, you will not have the proper perspective through which to make decisions.

The next step is then becoming time-aware, and understanding the value of...

98: How Much Money are You Truly Making Per Hour?

It’s probably a lot less than you think… Have you ever wondered how much you really make per hour of work? It’s a bit more complicated than dividing your salary by 40 hours per week. First of all, there’s the obligatory taxes we all pay, so subtract those–that money goes straight into Uncle Sam’s sizable pockets. Next, you have to account not just for said supposed 40 hour work week, but also the actual amount of time and energy you spend thinking about work, preparing, networking, training, and...

A simple technique that reveals extraordinary insights about your life. Asking yourself how you feel about something on a scale from 1-10 is about as simple as it gets.

You can begin with “how do I feel about my life overall today?” as a more general way to start, or you can get more specific. ...

While that could make us the hero on trivia night, it does nothing to aid our evolution into a better version of ourselves.
