When everyday life feels empty, small, concrete actions beat endless theorizing. In this 6-minute summary of a 2-hour Modern Wisdom episode, host Chris Williamson and guest Angelo Somers diagnose why people slip into complacent, comparative living—and how to rebuild meaning through embodied effort. Learn Angelo’s “trying for 20” critique, the belief–proof loop, why venting often competes with doing, and the value of modeling the rise rather than the result. Expect practical takeaways on tolerating ambivalence, using strategic risk to forge resilience, and turning repeated small failures into lasting belief. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
