Ep 293: Uncovering Self-Awareness and Synthetic Happiness with Jason Duncan
It can be hard to find the answer to the question of what truly matters when it comes to our own personal happiness. Understanding ourselves, discovering our true self-awareness, may be at the heart of achieving that ecstatic, sustainable joy we all strive for. Jason Duncan emphasizes the essence for entrepreneurs to figure out how to get out of the daily operations so they can find what makes them joyful, passionate, and purposeful in their lives.
Self-awareness and synthetic happiness are intriguing concepts but can be difficult to understand. To uncover the complexities of these ideas, it is helpful to reflect on our own feelings first and the feelings of those around us. By asking questions about our experiences, we can begin to discern between the moments that bring authentic happiness and the moments of synthetic joy. Listen to Jason to better understand self-awareness and its importance in creating genuine contentment in our lives.
Episode Highlights
00:39 - An alcoholic cannot overcome alcoholism until he or she realizes or is aware that they have a problem with alcohol. Someone addicted to porn, someone addicted to overeating, whatever the addictions or problems in life, you can't overcome it until you're aware of it. So, for me, I've always had pretty good self-awareness, probably to my detriment at times, because I'm overly analyzing what people may think. As a matter of fact, I was talking with one of my best friends this morning. We meet every week for coffee and we're working through the Think and Grow Rich Workbook right now, which by the way, I'd highly recommend everybody to go through. He's a mindset coach. And so, we were going through that today. And one of the things that we read through in the workbook this week was a failure inventory and going through things where you could potentially fail if you don't keep it in check.
