Welcome guys and gals to The Man Talk Show. I'm Connor Bieden. And on this week's midweek mini episode,

I'm going to dive into the most effective personal growth tool that I have ever found,

that I've ever found that I have ever implemented and used and worked with on myself.

It's truly,

truly an incredible tool and something that I try and implement every day.

But first,

I'm going to start with a quote from a gentleman named Wilhelm Reich from a,

from a book and a show called Listen Little Man.

So the quote goes like this. You differ from a great man in only one respect. The great man was once a very little man, but he developed one

important quality. He recognized the smallness and narrowness of his thoughts and actions.

Under the pressure of some task that meant a great deal to him, he learned to see how his

smallness, his petiteness, endangered his happiness. In other words, a great man knows when and in what way he is a little man.

A little man does not know. He is little and is afraid to know. He hides his petiteness and

narrowness behind illusions of strength and greatness, someone else's strength and greatness. He's proud of his

great generals, but not of himself. He admires an idea he has not had, not one he has had.

The less he understands something, the more firmly he believes in it. And the better he understands an idea,

the less he believes in it. So this quote really symbolized for me the concept of this

tool that I would like to put forward to you. And this tool is the idea of very simply put

is to let go of all the things that you're not, to let go of all the things that you're not.

You see, over the course of our lives, we actually take on our identity, our ego,

our self, whatever you want to call it, whatever label you want to

put on it, it acquires and sort of amasses a whole bunch of pieces and perspectives and beliefs
