Inner Work: A Spiritual Growth Podcast

Shownotes Transcript

Do you have a personality that creates and perpetuates stress in your life? In this episode, we'll dive into these stress-inducing personality traits:

  • perfectionism
  • "good girl" or "good boy" syndrome, a.k.a. people-pleasing
  • rigidity
  • excessive skepticism, a.k.a. needing to see before you will believe
  • attachment to rational/linear thinking
  • defensiveness
  • egocentrism

We'll also talk about some antidotes and ways to begin softening these traits, so they won't rule your life anymore.

I mention two helpful books in this episode: 

  • Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self: Contemplations from the Teachings of David Hawkins
  • Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
