We’ve talked about the upside of dark emotions, how to turn stress into serenity, and now today’s guest, Dr. Lissa Rankin, is coming back on the show to share how we can heal ourselves (physically and emotionally) when we understand fear.Lissa is an incredible example of this in her own life, but for her new book on fear, she actually traveled the world and talked to many different people in varied cultures to better understand our concept of fear in the West.In our conversation she pulls the covers back on how fear affects our physical health, how our society perpetuates a sick relationship with fear, and how we truly have the power to heal ourselves when we understand what is behind our fear. For this 5 Minute Friday, I wanted to share a clip from a past episode where Lissa explains how we can become friends with our fear by learning to trust our intuition.If you enjoyed this episode, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/939 and follow at instagram.com/lewishowes Get more from Lewis! Get my

Are you your own worst enemy? There are going to be hundreds of obstacles that we face when trying to pursue greatness.Some people will tell you that you're not enough.Others will say your ideas are unconventional and crazy - "it's never going to work!"Maybe your own family doesn't believe in you.The pressure from other people can be insane and paralyzing, but sometimes, we are our own worst enemies. We can get in our own way when it comes to our dreams. Insecurity has a way of tripping us up when we try to get out of our comfort zone. Thoughts like, "I'm not enough," play on repeat.Other times, pride has a way of convincing us that we're doing everything right, when we're actually not, and that's not great either. We always need to be willing to change, to humble ourselves when necessary, and to get out of our comfort zone.On this episode of The School of Greatness, I've got Dave Hollis in the house to tell you his story about struggle, adaptation, and success.Dave Hollis is one half of the dynamic, powerhou

Forgiveness is a gift.Forgive and forget. We've all heard this phrase at some point, but it's way easier said than done.We are all hurt at some point in our lives. Maybe a close friend has betrayed your trust, a family member ignored your hospitality, or a partner cheated on you. Sometimes, these conflicts end, and the other person admits their wrong and asks for forgiveness, but other times, they don't. Maybe they couldn't care less that they hurt you.Sometimes, people intentionally hurt us. Maybe you've been abused, neglected, manipulated, or harassed. As a young boy, I was sexually assaulted by a man I didn't know. It was traumatizing.There are something things that just seem unforgivable.But forgiveness is not something you need permission for. It's a choice that you make yourself, and ultimately, it's an empowering and liberating one.My guest today on The School of Greatness has just written a whole book about the subject, and it's a book you're going to want to read.Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt is an

In this 5 Minute Friday, he breaks down the first two steps, walks you through the how and why, and drops a lot of wisdom along the way.This process is powerful and can free you from relationships in your life that need to shift or go away.If you enjoyed this episode, show notes and more at http://www.lewishowes.com/924 and follow at instagram.com/lewishowes Get more from Lewis! Ge

Want to be successful? You gotta fail first. If you want to accomplish anything great in life, it's most likely not going to be an easy path to get there.Sometimes, things fall into place for us. But more often than not, things fall out of place, and we find ourselves sitting in failure. Sometimes it's our fault, sometimes it's not, but whatever the case, failures are hard to handle.I myself understand failure. I used to live on my sister's coach. My injury immobilized me, and for months, I wallowed in self-pity. Finally, I realized that my failures and hardships didn't hinder me from greatness. My sister kicked me out, and I learned to fight for myself again.My guest today knows all about failure and how it can set you up for success.In addition to having incredible hair, James Altucher is an American hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, author, venture capitalist, and podcaster. He has published 20 books, and he is a contributor to publications including The Financial Times and The Huffington Post. He is also
