In this episode, John discusses the popular fitness and mental toughness challenge, 75 Hard.
Topics include:

  • why 75 Hard is emblematic of our self-improvement culture
  • where our fitness and self-improvement culture routinely lets us down and keeps us stuck
  • why challenges usually serve as litmus tests rather than something that produces growth
  • the problem with pursuing "toughness" in service of success
  • the problem of seeking out adversity
  • why compliance and consistency are not surefire paths to personal success, but more often paths to serving the needs of others
  • why society does not want you to trust yourself
  • why we willfully ignore easy ways to improve our lives or selves
  • how 75 Hard and the culture it represents cause people to deepen their mental illnesses
