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...

Achievement Addiction Dr. Jack Groppel spent decades filming elite athletes, briefing Congress, and building a company he eventually sold to Johnson and Johnson, all without a single business or speech class. But the accomplishment that mattered most to him, a standing ovation in front of 20,000 people with his father in the crowd, got answered with a compliment about someone else on the program. 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...

Navigating Crazy: How to Live and Work Sanely in an Insane World Most people trying to lead and live well are doing it without an anchor. Mike Staver has spent decades inside the rooms where leaders admit what they will not say out loud anywhere else, and he has reached a blunt conclusion: people do not rise to the level of their intentions. They live at the level of their behavior. If you have ever explained yourself instead of fixing what actually happened, or if your own anxiety has become so normal you stopped noticing it, this conversation names both patterns and gives you a...

He Almost Hit His Biggest Goal. Then Felt Nothing. Mike Brcic built a mountain bike adventure company toward a goal of operating in a hundred and fifty countries, and got close enough to see himself crossing the finish line. Then he felt nothing.

Art grew up inside a religious cult where love and safety were conditional on performance.
