This is an excerpt from the Huberman Lab episode with David Goggins.

It’s a brutally direct, mechanistic, and actionable discussion about how to embrace, confront, and control the dialogue in your mind — paying specific attention to the negative voices as a way to transmute all that into successful real-world behavior. Daily.

One thing is made clear: there is no way to avoid internal agony if your goal is to be the ultimate version of yourself.

The good news is that anyone can do it, but it requires going inward. Over and over again. David explains how.

He also explains how people get distracted by the observable things in others — choosing to point their fingers at others, criticize, focus on hacks, etc, as a way to avoid doing the real internal work for themselves.

The episode is a roadmap anyone can apply to better themselves, but only if they are willing to embrace the full reality of their deepest self-doubts, fears, shame, and darkness. As David explains, that’s the basement and the place from where true growth starts.
