About this episode
My new book Own Or Be Owned is out now! I wrote Own or Be Owned to answer one question: how do you make more money, less miserably? I broke it into the 12 Profit Levers… the 12 levers I've seen determine whether you print cash or hate your life. Check it out: https://contrarianthinking.biz/drk You've been telling yourself the same story. That you're stuck. That you need more motivation. That if you just work harder, everything will fall into place. Here's the truth: you're not stuck because you lack effort, you're stuck because you're solving the wrong problem. Dr. K is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who spent years training to become a monk before revolutionizing mental health on the internet. He's worked with everyone from billionaires to young men living in their parents' basements, and in this episode, he breaks down why most people fail, how to dissolve problems instead of solving them, and the exact frameworks the 1% elite use to master their minds and win. This episode breaks down why understanding yourself is more powerful than any business strategy, how the ego runs your life when you don't know how to manage it, and why manifestation is real but 99% of people are doing it wrong. From the five layers of human existence to why depression isn't what you think it is, you'll learn how to build a feedback loop that improves you instead of eating you alive, why stuckness is actually just buried motivation, and how to finally start wanting the things you've been too afraid to chase. In this episode, you'll learn: Why you're not stuck, you're holding on, and how the most crippling source of suffering for a human being is wanting something you believe you cannot have, which causes your mind to bury your motivational circuitry so you never have to fail The understanding principle: how the difference between hard and easy has nothing to do with effort and everything to do with your understanding of the thing, and why all you need to do is understand, not do Why you can't duplicate anyone else's success because you have your own karma, your own advantages and disadvantages, and how the fastest way to lose is to use someone else's strategy when you're playing with different cards The five layers of human existence: your physical body, energy body, emotional mind, analytical mind, and spiritual body, and why Western psychiatry only treats three of them while ignoring the most powerful two Why ego is anything you attach after the words I am, how removing all sensory inputs and existing without an object to focus on is the goal of meditation, and why this is what actually heals people ___________ ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podcastbigdeal 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigdeal.podcast 📽️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@big.deal.pod MORE FROM CODIE SANCHEZ 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@codiesanchezct 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/codiesanchez 📽️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@realcodiesanchez OTHER THINGS WE DO 🌐 Our community: https://contrarianthinking.typeform.com/to/WBztXXID 📰 Free newsletter: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3XWLlZp 📚 Biz buying course: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3NhjGgN 🏠 Resibrands: https://resibrands.com/ 💰 CT Capital: https://contrarianthinking.biz/4eRyGOk 🏦 Main St Hold Co: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3YfGa8u Learn more about your ad choices.
