The Motivated Mind
Scott Lynch
Hey, my name is Scott, host of The Motivated Mind, a Spotify Top 100 Health & Fitness podcast with over 7 million downloads. I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Each week, I share practical ways to master your mindset, build better habits, and actually enjoy the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread.

How To Stop Worrying And Start Living
Dale Carnegie is the quintessential self-help author. His 1936 bestseller How to Win Friends and Influence People is still a popular title and has sold 15 million copies. He wrote How to Stop Worrying and Start Living because he felt he was "one of the unhappiest lads in New York" due to excessive worrying, and wanted to find out how to stop. In this episode, I discuss my notes on ideas and concepts I found interesting from How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, a self-help classic that clearly outlines why worrying is bad for you and what you can do about it.
