There's one ingredient missing from many high achievers' lives that drains all the fulfillment from their success, turns small failures into a life-or-death scenario, and slowly poisons your relationships at home and at work.

Worst part?

Most high achievers have conditioned themselves into believing that this missing ingredient is a weakness to be snuffed out at each step. So, they trap themselves in a toxic cycle that keeps repeating no matter how many of the variables they try to change.

The missing ingredient?

Compassion.

Not only is compassion not a weakness, but it's a strength that expresses your maturity.

In today's show, I'll explain why compassion is the missing ingredient to your fulfillment, I'll share the historical, religious, and evolutionary arguments for compassion, and you'll discover simple ways to start practicing compassion so your compassion muscle and fulfillment grows.

Listen now.

  • The evolutionary proof that compassion is necessary for thriving in life (7:10)
