Summary
Kamal Ravikant was in a dark place. After four years of pouring his heart, soul, and money into his tech startup, it blew up. He lost everything - including himself. In a moment of desperation, a vow deep within came to the surface: to love himself. Though it was a bit of a foreign concept, he set out to undo the misery in his head through the lens of love.
The practice Kamal formed became the self-published book: Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It. It sold over a half a million copies and is now newly expanded. In our conversation Kamal shares his ruthlessly practical way he unwound the negative thoughts and more importantly, made it last.
In our conversation we explore:
- Mindset as a practice, including the 7 minute meditation Kamal uses to break old mental patterns
- Kamal shares his advice in getting unstuck, including giving yourself time to simply live
- Our brain is a monkey gone bananas. Pain, joy, loneliness, love are a universal part of the human condition such that no matter our individual circumstance we are all trying to tame it.
- and much more…
Enjoy!

| 0:22.3 | When you boil it down, take everything you have to know and say and think and do about creativity or entrepreneurship, what does it all come down to? |

| 0:58.7 | wrote the book, Love Yourself, like your life depends on it, as an act, well, first of all, he started |
| 1:04.4 | paying attention to love as an act of desperation. He was in a failed startup. |
| 1:13.6 | His ego deeply attached to this failure. |
| 1:15.7 | And if you're like me, we've had these failures. |
| 1:25.8 | And on the verge of being able to do nothing, he turned out of desperation to love and started trying to find a way to love himself. |
