Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

When was the time where you felt like maybe I should be really happy, but actually I'm going through some challenge, some suffering, some identity crisis?

I love that question. I love that question.

I really, really love that.

Let's go, let's go, baby.

Let's go, baby.

I will say that so many lights went off in my brain when you asked me that.

And because I think it's really important, you know, if you're seeking greatness,

it's super important to say, like you said, to try and be authentic. I was not always

authentic. I was a bull-artist. Really? Through most of my life. I was an addict. I was a people

pleaser. I just wanted to entertain. I was an addict. I was a people pleaser.

I just wanted to entertain.

I was like the class clown.

I just wanted people to like me.

And I was in constant comparison with other people.

So that's something that I've struggled with.

Really? Really is trying to bring as much authenticity and integrity to my interactions as possible and to be vulnerable.

Because if you want greatness, and I've just been reading and listening to your book and really enjoying it.

And I'm going to switch the complimentary tables on you and just

say, what I love about your book is there's no book. And here are like, takeaways. Like,

you, you want to do this? Here's what to do. Nothing vague in the book at all. Like, here's hooks you can hang your hat on. And I just picture, like, some young dude trying to make a difference. And your book is like a Bible, you know? And I really, I really mean that. I've read a lot of, like, books that are, I won't say it's not self-help, but like motivational.

Uh-huh.
