Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

This is the whole problem that everyone makes anytime we have a problem. the first thing that we do is we try to jump to a solution. If I'm unhappy in life, I need to make more money. If I'm struggling with dating, I need to be sexier. It's a concept that I call toxic fuel. And that will never work. Because if I give you a glass of water and then I piss it and then I add sugar, it doesn't remove the piss. Because no amount of building something good will remove something bad in order to change What you need to do is Save. Dr. K is the Harvard trained psychiatrist and former monk specializing in modern mental health, blending neuroscience with real life wisdom to help millions of people unlock their true potential. There's a loneliness epidemic, social anxiety is increasing, and falling in love seems harder. But we have all the answers. The problem is that everyone is doing the wrong things now.

First of all, talking about our problems can absolutely make things worse because there's a particular way we have to talk, but we're not taught how to do that. The second thing is that we are struggling to fall in love. And that's actually because we're exhausting our dopamine through things like devices. Yeah, people don't realize. And then the rise in social anxiety is because everyone is texting. So the parts of our brain that reassure us in social situations are starting to rust. So they're core things that we have to start doing. So the first is that Dr. K, why don't people achieve their goals? Now this is really interesting. There are two kinds of people in life. There are people who like, I'm gonna advance towards my goals, and then there are the rest of us who are like, you know, I'm trying to be like these people who are productive, but I'm gonna do nothing. And trauma is the big difference here. Really? Yeah. And this is what tends to happen. So
