Ep 515 They Are Lying to You. The Self-Help Delusion with Federico Malatesta
Richer Soul, Living A Life on Purpose!
They Are Lying to You. The Self-Help Delusion Federico Malatesta spent fifteen years in the energy business, the last four running operations in Russia, before he walked away to do something nobody who knew him expected: coach people through the parts of life no protocol can fix. His argument is that self-help never had the tools for the job it promised to do, because it treats a human life like an engineering problem instead of a question of wisdom and judgment. If you have ever finished a routine, a protocol, or a book that was supposed to fix something and quietly blamed yourself...

This conversation names what was actually driving him, and what finally let him put it down. Most people who have built something real have, at some point, worked hard for approval that never...

Most people who build something real eventually hit a version of Mike's morning: the goal in sight, the champagne imagined, and an emptiness nobody...

Talks at Yale, Princeton, and the University of London. And the thing he keeps coming back to with clients is not a strategy. It's a sentence a client said to him days before this recording: standing on a beautiful plot of land, deciding what to build next.
