Recently, I picked up an iconic book for the first time that you likely read in your youth. (You’ll have to listen to this episode to find out what it is.) In this book, and the actions of its famous main character, I uncovered one of the most important life lessons that I also teach in my live seminars. I want to share it with you today because it’s a quick illustration of exactly what to do when you’re feeling low, abandoned or depressed… and gives you the secret recipe for overcoming weakness any time you feel it taking over. So grab a glass of wine and join our own (5-minute) mini book club for two!

0:00.0 | I'm Matthew Hussey and this is Love Life. If you've ever felt like you didn't know the |
0:07.3 | right words to say to a man to create attraction and chemistry, then you can't afford to |
0:12.9 | miss what I have for you at the end of today's episode. Stay tuned, because I'm going to |
0:17.6 | hand you five phrases that are so simple yet so powerful with men that you're going |
0:22.7 | to be furious at me for not giving this to you years ago. |
0:28.8 | I wanted to do something a little different today in talking about a book. A book that |
0:34.4 | many of you, if you're listening to this in the United States, will have read very young. |
0:39.1 | I didn't, it wasn't on my school texts, but I did read it later in life and that's |
0:43.6 | capture in the right. I was reading this book recently on holiday and like many people |
0:49.8 | I think during the first half of the book, I found myself wondering if there was anything |
0:56.7 | to like about the character Holden. If you haven't read the book, it's about Holden |
1:01.2 | Coolfield, a young schoolboy who is growing or is becoming an adult, is in the cusp of |
1:10.9 | adulthood and is very angsty and finds himself often depressed by life and by people in life |
1:19.8 | and often disappointed in people and their behavior and he's often inside his own head, giving |
1:26.1 | himself all these reasons that he doesn't like anything. I wanted to talk about this book |
1:31.9 | today because I think it teaches us actually a very valuable lesson that I'm often mentioning |
1:35.5 | in my coaching. For those of you that have read it, I think you'll get a kick out of this |
1:40.6 | and for those of you that haven't, I would suggest that you do read it because even though |
1:44.0 | this feels sometimes like it's about an angsty teenager, by the end of the book actually |
1:49.7 | you find that there is an incredible amount to relate to in this person and sometimes part |
1:54.9 | of the reason we don't like a character is that they reflect too much of ourselves. Now, spoiler |
2:01.0 | alert, if you haven't read the book and you want to know nothing about it, come back to this once |
