You Can't Buy Inner Peace, Here's How to Find It | Yung Pueblo
You can't buy inner peace, no matter how much money or success you pile up.Yung Pueblo, an author who has meditated two hours every day for more than a decade and has finished a 60 day silent retreat, sat down with Lewis to talk about what inner peace feels like day to day. For him, it means having enough space in your mind to feel tension without letting it run your actions.Meditation got tested first in his relationship. He and his wife Sarah spent six years in what he calls a hurricane of blame. They were on a break when he sat his first 10 day retreat, and two weeks later he proposed with the tiny ring his dad had once given his mom.You'll hear why the lightning fast reaction you think is the real you is your past self defending itself, and why slowing down gives you a pause button.

Let Go of Expectations and Attract What You Desire | Lewis Howes
The thing you want most might be closer than you think, and the expectations you keep gripping could be what keeps pushing it away.Lewis goes solo in this episode to walk through five expectations that block money, love and your peace. He starts with the silent contract so many hard workers carry: I did this, so I’m owed that.He tells you about making zero dollars from his podcast for the first year, and about sleeping on his sister’s couch when a mentor told him, “Money comes to you when you’re ready for it.” He also explains why he asked his wife Martha to start therapy at the very beginning of their relationship, and how she answered, “That sounds exciting.”You’ll hear why comparing your year one to someone else’s year ten will wreck your peace, and why a simple “Would you be willing to...” can fix relationships that silent hints keep breaking. There’s also the goal he has chased for eight years without hitting it, and what changed once he stopped demanding a timeline for it.Afterward you may find yourself writing down your own silent contracts and checking the numbers less. You might ask someone for what you actually need, too, while you keep doing the work and keep your standard high.Make Money EasyThe School of GreatnessThe Greatness MindsetThe Mask of MasculinityIn this episode you will:Run the silent contracts exercise to expose the hidden “I’m owed” thoughts ending relationshipsReplace expectations with the “Would you be willing to” ask so people choose yesDrop made-up timelines that make real progress still feel like falling behindTrack your daily effort instead of the numbers to escape comparison and resentmentRelease neediness so the opportunities and people you want can finally find youFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1998More SOG episodes we think you’ll love!

Heal Your Trauma or Stay at War With Yourself | Robin Sharma
The trauma you never healed is running your relationships and your work.Robin Sharma, author of The Everyday Hero Manifesto, tells Lewis about the day ten years of his private journals vanished from a cupboard, along with every fear and heartbreak he had written in them. What he took from losing them was the ability to let go.He walks through a tool he calls AFRA: the moment you get triggered, you find the feeling in your body and ask what old wound just woke up. "If it's hysterical, it's historical," he says. The bigger the overreaction, the bigger the thing that was already there.Robin admits he used to be drawn to partners who created a crisis whenever things got peaceful, and he owns his part in that. He also passes on a divorce lawyer's test for a relationship: can you enjoy 10,000 dinners with this person?You'll hear his eight forms of wealth, of which money is only one, and his five great hours rule for productivity.The Wealth Money Can't Buy: The 8 Hidden Habits to Live Your Richest LifeThe Everyday Hero Manifesto: Activate Your Positivity, Maximize Your Productivity, Serve The WorldThe 5AM Club: Own Your Morning.

What if the dark stretch you're in right now is proof your faith is about to pay off?Katt Williams, a comedian with 14 stand-up specials, sat down with Lewis to talk about leaving home at 13 and the moment around age 20 when drug dealing could turn $100 into $700. He asked God for another way to make a living, and comedy showed up.Door-to-door sales taught him that 300 no's buy 30 yeses, and he still tells a joke to himself 35 times in the mirror before any audience hears it.

What Sociopaths Really Feel | Dr. Patric Gagne
People with psychopathy still feel, just differently from everyone around them.Dr. Patric Gagne, a diagnosed sociopath who went on to earn a doctorate and work as a therapist, sat down with Lewis and told the story she tells in Sociopath: A Memoir. As a kid she learned that saying “I don't care” out loud got her in trouble, so she lied, and lying made her feel safe.She talks about the pressure she called a vice, which she relieved by breaking into homes just to sit in the quiet, and the first grade day she stabbed a classmate with a pencil. Then she explains why secondary psychopathy, which may touch 5% of people, is treatable when kids get caught early.You will hear why a therapist who doesn't absorb your pain can be the best container for it, and why stopping someone from crying can stop the brain from healing. She also gets into the shame under people pleasing and narcissism, and the question she asks her own kids: how does it feel when you feel?You may come away a little gentler with the people you never understood, and with the kid you used to be.Sociopath: A MemoirDr. Patric's InstagramDr. Patric's WebsiteThe Society for the Prevention of Disorders of AggressionIn this episode you will:Become a calm container for someone's pain without needing to empathizeRaise emotionally aware kids through boundaries, apologies and positive reinforcement instead of punishmentLearn why awareness is 80% of the work in changing destructive patternsDiscover why psychopaths can feel emotion and what actually separates them from everyone elseSpot the warning signs of sociopathy in dating, relationships and business partnershipsBreak free from people pleasing by choosing honesty over curated, falsified emotionsFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1995More SOG episodes we think you’ll love!

Your Anxiety Is a Smoke Alarm, Not a Broken Brain | Dr. John Delony
What if your anxiety is a smoke alarm, and your body is working perfectly?Dr. John Delony, a mental health expert with two PhDs, sat down with Lewis and said the thing most of us dodge: if you are awake at 2:30 in the morning, something in your life is on fire. Numbing it with a drink or a screen is like duct taping a pillow over the alarm while the house burns around you.Then he got personal. While he was writing Building a Non-Anxious Life, his wife walked into his basement gym and told him, “I'm watching my husband die,” and then, “John, we have enough.” His little girl would not hug him, and in counseling he could not put a fist to his chest and say “I love this guy.”Back then he would have rated himself a zero out of ten on being enough. Now he says nine, and his daughter uses him as a jungle gym. He and Lewis also talk about why “me over us” hurts so many relationships and how paying off debt let him grieve a cousin without a single worry about money.You'll finish this one wanting to put your phone down and ask what your own alarm has been trying to tell you about your marriage and your kids.Building a Non-Anxious LifeOwn Your Past Change Your Future: A Not-So-Complicated Approach to Relationships, Mental Health & WellnessRedefining Anxiety: What It Is, What It Isn't, and How to Get Your Life BackJohn's InstagramJohn's YouTubeJohn's FacebookIn this episode you will:Hear how Dr. John Delony went from 0/10 to 9/10 on believing he is enoughUse neuroception to understand why your kids pull away when you stop feeling safe to themDiscover why anxiety is a smoke alarm proving your body works perfectly, not a flaw to silenceBreak the common male lie that your only value is your utilityBuild an antifragile life where hard seasons bring grief without spiraling into anxietyReplace rigid beliefs with shared values so your relationships choose us over meFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1994More SOG episodes we think you’ll love!

You keep making the same mistake because you haven't failed enough yet.

You can touch the hot plate five times and it still hurts, he says, and one day you simply stop.
