Summary

"Life is inherently risky. We make up all of these rules in life about what's gonna keep us safe," Amy Morin told me. She's the author "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do." It was originally just a list she wrote for herself. Her husband died suddenly. Just after the three-year anniversary of her mom's death. "I thought my mission in life was to teach people how to be mentally strong, and I didn't realize how much I was going to need mental strength," she said. This podcast teaches you the skills to become mentally strong. To practice every day.  Make sure to read the full show notes here: https://jamesaltucher.com/2017/10/amy-morin/ And don't forget to subscribe to "The James Altucher Show" on Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts! ------------What do YOU think of the show?
