Your anxiety didn’t start in adulthood.
It started when you became "The Good One."

People-pleasing is harmful.

It rewires your brain and fractures your sense of self.
Here's what most therapists won't tell you: 🧵 Being a people pleaser is an adaptation that hides your true self.

Over time, people-pleasing:

1. Reshapes your brain for survival.
2. Destroys your sense of identity.
3. Sets you up for chronic anxiety.

In 1974, this man experienced a "glitch in reality."

He discovered the Matrix 22 years before it existed.

FBI and CIA seized his research.
But 46 years later, Elon Musk and quantum physicists prove him right.

The declassified files will terrify you: 🧵
Meet Philip K. Dick.

Not just a science fiction writer.

But a man who claimed he *saw* beyond the simulation we live in.

And what he revealed at a secret conference in Paris left even top scientists speechless:

The man who destroyed Hustle Culture & Woke Culture:

Naval Ravikant.

He was an early investor in Twitter, Uber, & Notion & is worth $600M+

I've studied all of his interviews.

Here are 7 of Naval's best pieces of advice (that will change your life)🧵: 1) We Choose To Be Miserable

Every day we choose to want things. So we make a deal with ourselves that we'll be miserable until we achieve it.

But once we get it, we immediately go onto the next thing.

It's a never-ending cycle of wanting things and never being happy.

I'm calling it now: Elon will be the world's first TRILLIONAIRE.

Not because of Tesla or SpaceX...

But from the mental model he just revealed in this viral interview.

Here's how billionaires actually think (10 principles): 🧵 Musk never expected to build anything great.

His exact words:

"I wanted to try to build something useful, but I didn't think I would build anything particularly great."

Yet the 10 rules he dropped explain exactly how he became the richest man alive:

Andrew Huberman once said:

"The brain is like a muscle. If you don't use it, you lose it."

A few years ago, I could barely focus for 2 minutes.

Today, 12-hour workdays feel effortless.

Here are Huberman's 7 principles for superhuman focus that changed my life: 1. Preperation

It's difficult to just switch into full focus mode.

You need to prime your brain before it.

According to Huberman the BEST way to do so is by staring at one point intensively.

Do this for 30 seconds before you start your work sessions.

Instant focus boost.

Letting go isn’t a decision.

It’s the slow process of teaching your nervous system that release won’t mean abandonment, danger, or the loss of who you are.

A thread on trauma, safety, and finally coming home to yourself:
“Just let go” sounds easy until your body refuses.

You’ve outgrown a relationship.
A rhythm.
A mask.
But something inside holds on.

That’s not weakness.
That’s your nervous system trying to protect your life.

Jay Shetty just had the world's top ADHD expert on his podcast.

He revealed mind-blowing facts about ADHD that 99% of people wouldn't know.

Even Jay Shetty was speechless.

Be prepared to have your mind blown...

Here are 8 uncomfortable truths he exposed: 🧵 1/ Your ADHD brain literally SHUTS DOWN when you try harder.

Dr. Daniel Amen scanned thousands of ADHD brains and found:

When they try to concentrate, blood flow decreases in the prefrontal cortex.

The harder they try, the worse it gets.

Jim Carrey had it all:
• Golden Globe winner
• $20 million per movie
• Highest-paid actor by 32

Then he said: 'Jim Carrey doesn't exist.'

People said he lost it. But he actually found the truth.

9 profound lessons from Hollywood icon turned spiritual sage: 🧵 1/ Seek Inner Joy, Not Outer Success

"I hope everybody gets rich and famous and has everything they ever dreamed of—so they can see that it's not the answer."

Jim had it all—and still felt empty.

Joy doesn’t come from what you get. It comes from inside.

This man spent 5 years studying why 92% of people fail at their goals.

His discovery?

Willpower is a complete myth.

The world's most successful people don't rely on motivation.

They use these 4 hidden psychological triggers instead: Most people get it completely wrong.

They obsess over goals instead of building systems.

Goals are the results.

Systems are the processes that get you there.

You never rise to your goals.

You fall to the level of your systems.

That's why motivation always fails.

Most people are unhappy.

So, I've spent 20 hours watching Bill Murray interviews over 3 months.

What I found?

Bill Murray's Happiness Formula: "Try being rich first. See if that doesn’t cover most of it.”

• Fame = No Privacy

• Being popular means haters

• Being in the spotlight drains energy

Get wealthy then disappear forever = Happiness

Your brain is lying to you.

After 40 years of research, Nobel Prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman found the shocking truth:

Most of your decisions aren’t yours.

Here are 8 powerful lessons he teaches on how people actually make decisions (use to reclaim your mind):
1/ You don’t think the way you think you do

Your brain runs on two systems:

System 1 = fast, automatic, emotional
System 2 = slow, deliberate, logical

Most of your decisions are made by System 1.

Most people rationalize with System 2 after foolish decisions from System 1.

I'm 38.

When I was young I worshipped politics, went woke (broke) & believed in the myth of equality.

Then I discovered Thomas Sowell, and he changed my life forever.

12 lessons from America's most controversial & unknown philosopher: Thomas Sowell is a 93 year old badass.

• Studied at Harvard
• Political commentator
• Written for 150 newspapers
• Declined the role of Federal Trade Commissioner
He says F U to politicians and the system. His views are radical. Some good, some bad

But he'll make you think

GAME THEORY is the most powerful decision-making framework in history.

From Sun Tzu & Genghis Khan to John F. Kennedy, it was used to win wars, forge empires and conquer the world.

Here’s what it is, how it works and how to master it:

(thread) In 1962, world was ONE decision away from nuclear war:

Attack or Retreat?

If you think about it, our entire history is made of individual choices made by individual people.

But this goes far beyond war and politics…

DOPAMINE:

The molecule that controls your life.

It’s the reason you watch po*n, you’re addicted to your phone, and you have zero motivation to work.

Here’s what dopamine REALLY is, how it hijacks your brain, and how to stop it from killing you (backed by science): Without dopamine, you would die.

• No motivation
• No movement
• No decision-making skills

It’s the most important molecule in your brain.

So, what IS dopamine, and what does it do?

This is Elon Musk.

CEO of Tesla and Space X with a Networth of $247B.

Behind his massive success there is a shocking principle nobody talks about.

Here are 5 key takeaways:
(No. 4 is fascinating) 1. Dopamine Mastery

One of Musk secrets is Dopamine Mastery.

This concept has helped me and my clients remove burnout and reclaim our time.

Mastering your Dopamine helps you become more motivated, productive and driven.

I think Leonardo da Vinci is the most creative person ever alive.

He left us over 7000 pages of sketches and notes that 500 yrs later, historians yet to decode.

6 times Da Vinci predicted and invented the future:🧵
1/ Da Vinci's anatomical discoveries...

• First to describe the heart as a 4-chambered muscle
• Recognized coronary artery disease 150 years before physicians

He once dissected 30+ cadavers to understand anatomy:

Your trauma didn't start with you.

Self-sabotage, toxic relationships, and poor self-image can all be passed through your DNA.

Here's the science behind generational trauma (and how to break the curse):🧵
The uncomfortable truth:

You can inherit trauma.

Trauma changes the way your genes function.

This is Joe Dispenza.

A world-renowned neuroscientist.

He teaches people how to brainwash themselves into thinking on a higher level.

Some say he's a fraud & supernatural.

Here are 10 of his insights that shifted the trajectory of my life (and will do the same for you):
The people who say Joe's a fraud don't understand him.

They live a mindless life.

We can learn from everyone – especially the people we don't understand.

Let's learn from Joe.

Naval Ravikant and Tim Ferriss changed my life.

The greatest director of all time.

Christopher Nolan.

He's the genius behind Interstellar, Inception, Dunkirk, and Oppenheimer.

But what makes him the greatest is he found the secret method to tell irresistible stories.
Nolan doesn't like to use the typical structures of storytelling like:

• Act
• StoryGrid
• Hero's Journey

They restrict his creativity—so he uses something called The Plot Map.

This is how Nolan comes up with his ideas:
