Toxic World of Self Help: Hustle Culture, Fake Positivity, Addiction & Pursuing Money - Robin Sharma (Video)

In this 17 July 2024 video, the host Dr Rangan Chatterjee welcomes Robin Sharma to my Feel Better Live More podcast. Robin is a globally respected humanitarian who has devoted over a quarter of a century to helping humans realize their native gifts. One of the top leadership and personal mastery experts in the world, he advises companies such as NASA, Nike, Microsoft, Starbucks, Yale University and the Young Presidents’ Organization.

In our conversation, we explore Robin’s concept of the ‘eight forms of wealth’, including physical and mental wellness, rich family relationships, fulfilling work and strong community connections. We discuss why traditional self-help approaches often fall short, particularly in the realm of personal growth and happiness, and how society’s obsession with hustle culture and toxic positivity has exacerbated the problem of burnout and dissatisfaction.

Is it time to redefine what it means to live a rich life? In a world where we’re constantly bombarded with images of material success, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others and believing that more money means more happiness. But what if there’s more to wealth than just money?

What if the richest people aren’t those with the most money but those with the most meaningful lives?

He’s the author of several international bestsellers, including ‘The 5AM Club’ and ‘The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari’. In his latest book, ‘The Wealth Money Can’t Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest Life’, Robin aims to change our perception to include not just financial success but seven other essential forms of wealth, too.

Robin is perhaps best known for his thriving 5AM Club community and in this episode, he shares insights on the power of intentional morning routines, including his five-question morning maximiser, and the value of continuous learning. We delve into practical strategies for implementing these principles in various life situations, even for those of us who have busy schedules or family responsibilities.

We also touch on the importance of nature, disconnecting from technology, and finding moments to savor in our daily lives. We explore the value of service, small acts of kindness, and how we can all live our lives to the fullest.

Robin’s perspective on what it truly means to live a rich life is a powerful reminder for us all and his approach offers a much-needed alternative to the endless pursuit of material success, showing us how to create a life that’s ‘wealthy’ in all the ways that matter most. I hope you enjoy listening.
