THIS HIDDEN NERVE CONTROLS ANXIETY

What if success is just another form of distraction?

This is what Tim Ferriss has spent his entire life trying to prove.

For those of you who don’t know who Tim is, he’s dedicated the last 20 years to studying what the human mind and body are actually capable of.

And he’s best known for ‘The 4-Hour Workweek’, a book that made millions of people think about how much time they actually want to spend working.

We spoke about how he believes pain plays a big part in success but it wasn’t until he stepped back through therapy that he began to understand what he was really chasing…

We cover:

- What drives our need to constantly optimise… - How childhood shapes our hunger for control? - The link between trauma and achievement. - Why do high achievers struggle to slow down? - Can you still grow without constantly pushing yourself?

I wouldn’t be doing what I do without people like Tim - he took a risk before anyone believed that long and honest conversations could work.

This episode reminded me how much of what we create stands on the work of others and I’m grateful for that.
