Gary Kadi argues that societal pressure to be self-reliant pushes people toward isolation and loneliness. He references Ben Hardy's work and his own disconnection from his son, wife, and business, claiming that connection is the opposite of addiction.
The way we treat ourselves is the.
Way we treat.
Others around us. Right?
I was hard on myself. I'm hard on my.
Employees, hard on my son. Like banging it out and grinding it.
Out and it's like.
It just, it's not necessary.
Especially when it comes to.
Relating to Judah.
She doesn't want to be spoken to. Like the way I speak to myself, you know, it doesn't work.
So, you.
Know, societal expectations often pressure us to become self.
Reliant, leading.
Us to isolation. I do want to highlight this. This is really important. My friend Ben Hardy.
Is great, great.
Author, psychologist, love his work. If you haven't checked him out, Ben Hardy is amazing.
Willpower Doesn't.
Work is the book where I really connected with him, called him up and we became friends over the years. In there, his dad was, was an.
Addict and.
He, when I read this, I was like, done. He said, connection is the opposite of addiction.
And I wasn't.
Connected to myself, I wasn't connected to my son, I wasn't connected to my wife, I wasn't connected to my business I.
Was doing. And I.
Was in those things, but.
I wasn't, I wasn't in there.
There's a difference.
Between being like in, in it and, and, and willing to like be open, be vulnerable, be in there. So addiction.
Connection is the opposite of addiction. And we're talking about connecting to ourselves, our families, our money, our purposes.
