THE SHIFT - Why You Are Recently Drawn to Andrew Tate and Monks | The Everyday Stoic

In this episode, William explores why so many people are drawn to figures like Andrew Tate and what that desire reveals about our search for control, confidence, and meaning. William doesn’t argue for or against these influencers. Instead, he examines the psychological pull they have, the way their certainty and mastery seem to promise relief from our own uncertainty and pain. He reflects on his own experiences with anxiety, showing how the attraction to strong, decisive voices can arise from a longing for stability when life feels chaotic.

Through personal stories, reflections, and simple, actionable advice, William invites listeners to step away from the noise of self-proclaimed gurus and return to something quieter but more powerful: self-trust, curiosity, and the courage to face discomfort. This episode is a reminder that growth rarely feels glamorous, and the real path forward is the one you walk yourself.
