Lewis Howes describes his journey to emotional healing: how meditation provided temporary relief, how the cure lay in intense psychological work, spiritual ceremony, speaking to his five-year-old self, stopping people-pleasing and abandoning himself, laying boundaries and speaking truth no matter the consequences. 

- How success affected his well being

- Unresolved traumas from childhood sexual abuse and a brother in prison and the struggle to have friends

- to be vulnerable and express emotions, why it's so difficult

- addressing their psychological, emotional, and spiritual wounds

- breaking patterns 

- the importance (and power) in having a clear, meaningful life mission 

- How defining your mission will affect all your actions
