Diagnose and fix your real problems

Complaining can be a very good diagnostic tool for identifying the actual problems in our life. The key is not just to sit around complaining about the same things year by year to learn how the important issues affect us and how to fix them. Awareness of the major flaws in our situation and mindsets allows us to make a strategy for how we want to address them going forwards and build a life we don't complain about. - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking  Watch the pod - YouTube - Growth Mindset Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen - - - Chapters 00:00 Problems and illusions of the mind 00:41 General framework for complaints 01:28 3 types of problems 01:59 1st type of problem - the problem you want to have 02:35 2nd type of problem - the problem you can do nothing about 04:01 3rd problem - the problems you do not want to have 04:50 Issues of fixed mindsets 05:57 Community and purpose 07:15 Too many interests and desires 10:29 Assessing the scale of a problem 11:56 How our problems change over time 13:01 Turning complaints into tools 15:00 Some wise words Learn more about your ad choices.
