| 0:00.0 | All right, Sahil, welcome to The Man Talk Show. How are you doing today? I'm doing |
| 0:11.4 | great. It's a pleasure to be here. Likewise, man. Likewise. I really appreciate your content and |
| 0:15.6 | saw your interview with Mr. Williamson. I've been on a show a couple times, and you guys had a great conversation, so I'm looking |
| 0:23.2 | forward to this. |
| 0:24.5 | Where do you think that most people go wrong or what do they misunderstand about success, |
| 0:31.0 | especially in the vein of money and wealth? |
| 0:34.2 | I think the most common trap is pretty simple, which is this patterning that |
| 0:41.5 | happens in the early years of your life to believe that every incremental unit of money |
| 0:48.0 | leads directly to an incremental unit of happiness or fulfillment. That is not incorrect in the early years of your life. That is the |
| 0:57.5 | reason it becomes a pattern. There's this whole meme of people saying, oh, money can't buy happiness. |
| 1:03.1 | And it's total nonsense. You know, anyone that has come up the curve of income knows that money |
| 1:08.9 | very directly buys happiness in those early years. |
| 1:11.7 | You're able to afford basic, you know, food, shelter, take care of people around you. |
| 1:17.9 | It's Maslow's hierarchy of needs. |
| 1:19.3 | Like the earliest levels of it, there's a very direct correlation. |
| 1:22.8 | Incremental unit of money equals incremental unit of happiness. |
| 1:26.1 | The trap is that that equation no longer holds |
| 1:29.9 | in the same linear form at some point. And when you have patterned yourself to believe that it does, |
| 1:36.9 | you will continue to chase that incremental unit of money thinking that when that money bell rings, |
| 1:42.8 | you're going to get the happiness cheese, but it no longer does. And that is the path that a lot of people find themselves on |
| 1:49.7 | when you continue marching forward towards this future that you envision as the land of arrival |
| 1:56.8 | when everything is going to be great. And unfortunately, a lot of other areas of your life suffer in that pursuit. |
