• The One Thing That Turns Difficult Children Into Narcissistic Adults | Dr. Ramani Durvasula

  Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1858"These kids, these difficult temperaments, actually have this relationship with the world that's pretty unpleasant. Everyone's like, sit down, stop that, don't do that. And there's even this vibe these kids get, like nobody really wants to spend time with them." - Dr. Ramani DurvasulaDr. Ramani Durvasula walks through something most parents never want to hear: some kids are just born difficult. High energy, low frustration tolerance, constantly getting into trouble at school, and nobody wants to be around them. She's spent her career working with narcissistic adults, and without exception, every single one had a difficult temperament as a child. But here's where it gets interesting. That difficult temperament isn't a life sentence. The difference between a difficult kid who becomes a confident adult and one who becomes a narcissist comes down to how their parents respond. Lewis shares the story of Kobe Bryant, who went an entire summer without scoring a single point in basketball at age 13. His father told him, "I'm gonna love you no matter what. Whether you score zero points or you're the highest scorer, I'm gonna love you no matter what you do." That conversation gave Kobe the confidence to keep going. Dr. Ramani explains how rare that kind of support is, where a kid feels loved unconditionally, has their energy channeled into athletics or building things, and experiences boundaries without rejection.The conversation takes a sharp turn into modern parenting's biggest trap. Parents are celebrating their kids for nothing, telling them they're special just for existing, but nobody's actually sitting with these kids' emotions. Dr. Ramani calls it being "overindulged for their outsides" while their emotional world goes completely unnourished. Narcissistic parents need their kids to be great because it reflects on them, so they heap praise on everything while never teaching their kids to handle disappointment or sit with sadness. The result? Adults who get blindsided by life's inevitable difficulties and can't handle it. She breaks down exactly what great actually means (it's about excelling, not just being), how to love a child while still calling out bad behavior, and why the most dangerous thing you can do is protect a kid from struggle while telling them they're amazing. If you've got a difficult kid or you're trying to figure out where confidence ends and narcissism begins, this conversation draws the lines with surgical precision.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

• Your Own Mind Is The MOST Powerful Healing Tool | Dr. Joe Dispenza

  Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1857"In an age of information, ignorance is a choice. Health and wellness can be as infectious as disease." - Dr. Joe DispenzaLewis opens by sharing how he mentally rehearsed his future reality for years, watching game film of world record holders every night before sleep, then practicing physically the next day. He was living in what Dr. Joe Dispenza calls the quantum field, rehearsing moments that wouldn't happen for another decade. That vulnerability sets the stage for Dr. Joe to reveal something extraordinary happening in his events. Two people with stage 4 cancer walked away completely reversed. A woman with an unnamed neurological disorder arrived on crutches and left without them. These aren't celebrities or exceptional cases. They're ordinary people who reached the end of what traditional medicine could offer and decided to change everything about themselves. Twenty years ago, if a doctor gave you a diagnosis, you signed the dotted line and got the surgery. Today, people are researching, getting multiple opinions, and discovering they don't need an authority figure to access information that could save their lives.Dr. Joe explains that this work isn't for everyone because you can't be a little bit committed, just like you can't be a little bit pregnant. But when a normal person shares their healing story in front of a thousand people, something shifts. Everyone watching thinks the same thing: if she can do it, so can I. That's when healing becomes infectious, spreading through communities the same way disease does. The conversation moves beyond individual transformation into something bigger. Success, Dr. Joe admits, is just a side effect of who you become. The real work is about pushing the envelope on what's possible, helping people understand they can self-correct health conditions and change their genetic future before symptoms ever appear. The question evolving now isn't just whether people can heal themselves, but whether someone who's healed can turn around and heal another person. The implications are staggering.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

• The Missing Bridge Between Your Dreams And Reality | Mel Robbins

  Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1170"The way to visualize properly is to visualize the bridge between where you are and where you need to go... and particularly the horrible stuff." - Mel RobbinsMel Robbins drops a truth bomb that flips everything you know about manifesting upside down. Picture this: you're sitting in your studio apartment, cat box hasn't been changed in two weeks, no food in the fridge, and you're staring at a vision board covered with mansions and dream cars. That massive gap between where you are and where you want to be? It's not inspiring you. It's making you feel like a loser. Research shows that when you only visualize the endgame, it's actually demotivating. Your brain sees that distance and starts the negative self-talk spiral. Mel gets brutally specific here, breaking down exactly why that gorgeous collage you made after a bottle of wine isn't doing what you thought it would.Here's where it gets good. Mel teaches you to visualize the bridge, not the destination. And not the pretty parts of the bridge either. The horrible stuff. What's it like at mile 13 of your marathon when it's sleeting rain and you're asking yourself why you're doing this? What happens when your earbuds die at mile 12 or your shoelace breaks at mile 17 and you've got a blood blister forming? If you're building a business, visualize making those cold calls and hearing no. Visualize staying home on Saturday night while your friends are out, because you're putting in the work. Visualize your first course failing. When you train your mind and nervous system for the actual hard work, you're not blindsided when it shows up. You've already mentally pushed through it. You're building resilience like a muscle, preparing your body so you're not resistant when difficulty comes. That's how you actually do the work instead of just dreaming about the results.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
