Society overvalues romantic relationships and undervalues friendship says @simonsinek When someone stays in a 16-year unhealthy relationship that they admit should have lasted one year, society says they “did it right.” Someone who’s happy, has great friends, but hasn’t married, people ask “What’s wrong with you?” Why do we diagnose people as having “commitment issues” when they leave relationships that aren’t working, but praise those who stay in situations that make them unhappy? Maybe the real issue isn’t individual failure. Maybe it’s societal priorities that need examining. What relationships actually bring you joy? #psychology #mastery #love #relationships

Listen to the emotion, not just the words. There’s two conversations happening within a person. Which one are you listening to? There’s the talk track and there’s the emotional track. Listen to the words, but let them fall away. Work to understand the emotional experience that’s happening or happened. If you can get both lined up, you’ve really got an understanding.

Every discussion falls into one of three buckets says Charles Duhigg (@charlesduhigg ) Practical: sharing information, solving problems, making plans. Emotional: I tell you what I’m feeling. I don’t want you to solve my feelings. I want you to empathize. Social: talking about how we relate to each other, to society, about other people, about identities important to us.

Instead of tying your identity to your performance or title, anchor it to a sense of purpose. It’s one of the most powerful shifts you can make.

AI allows us to do things faster. Maybe it gives us more time for meditation. More time to build community. Not more free time—time to invest in other ways. This is what Jeff Byers, CEO of @live.momentous is most concerned about: how do we think about jobs? People need to know how to use this tool. It’s not a replacement yet. How are you using AI? 👇🏼 #psychology #AI #mastery

Lobsters need to take on the risk of vulnerability to shed their shells. Shed that shell, walk across the ocean floor, and venture into this new, bigger, uncomfortable shell. If they do that, they grow into something bigger. The same applies to us humans; here are the questions to ask: 1. Take a look at your identity. Who am I? 2. What is my purpose? What is the big aim in my life? 3. What is the vision? When I close my eyes and use my imagination, what is a compelling future I want to work toward? Who am I? What’s my purpose? What’s the vision? #psychology #mindset #mastery

What questions are tugging at you right now, and how might exploring the answers help you live and perform with more clarity? Comment “AMA” and we’ll send you the full episode with @live.momentous CEO Jeff Byers. What we cover: -Navigating a major transition: identity, grief, and the psychology of shedding the old shell, with real perspective from Jeff’s own transition out of the NFL. -When life feels like autopilot: practical ways to work with feeling stuck or foggy, from examining your biology to rebuilding your sense of agency and self-efficacy. -Finding your purpose: what the research says, the three components of a clear purpose, and Mike’s own framework for building one from first principles. -What community really means: responsibility, belonging, in-person connection vs. digital, and why we’re more alike than different. -AI and human potential: are we taking our eyes off the ball on mindfulness and development, or is this a chance to double down on what it means to be human? -Heroes, idols, and influences: a candid conversation about who shaped Mike and Jeff and what those figures taught them about leadership and life. #psychology #mindset #mastery
