On this episode of the 'Fear Being Average' podcast I talk about the over-correction of "acceptance/woke culture" and how it's doing far more harm than good. This short-cited, irresponsible message is not only neglecting basic human psychology, but aiding in the rise of mental health issues and a growing number of obese individuals, most notably, our young. Is there a way to accept who you currently are while pursuing a life that nurtures basic fundamental necessities like love and happiness in an authentic way? Yes there is. I shed light on how we can balance this, and live much longer, healthier lives full of genuine fulfillment, self-confidence and true practical acceptance. Practical acceptance teaches us to address our short-comings in a positive, healthy, pro-active manner, rather than lazily teaching us to run and hide from what makes us feel bad or sad. Empowering Action and the pursuit of self-growth and human optimization is what true self love and self-acceptance should look like.
