Summary

Repeat it in the mirror all you want. It's not going to make you rich. In this episode, Igor takes an unpopular but honest stand against affirmations and positive thinking as a strategy, and gets into what actually moves the needle when you're stuck, scattered, or struggling to take action. Whether the problem is ADHD, depression, open mental loops, or just a phone that won't leave you alone, there are practical, unglamorous fixes that work far better than any mantra ever will.
