Tony Robbins: Hungry

The podcast as a whole is about doing funny but insightful and well researched break downs of popular books and media figures. This book isn’t one of the deeper episodes because at the end of the day it’s a vanilla self-help book, but basically a recurring themes in these types of books is they pitch a magic, one sized fits all solution, that probably is good advice in some circumstances, and take it to dangerous places like “is your company laying people off? you can fix that with positive thinking!” And “is your spouse abusive? All you can control is your attitude!”

I’m in this business to cure my inferiority complex. Making lots of money, working with fortune 500 clients and walking the streets of NYC with a suit, tie and briefcase makes me feel important and worthy.

I often wish I could be like my law school friends who either moved to small towns or have public sector or non profit jobs, wear sweaters and jeans to work and make far less than me, but are happy with their lives, feel a sense of meaning with their work and don’t need external validation.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
