How to Build a Better Future: 2 Simple Questions That Uplevel Your Life Immediately
"I'm worried that you might have the world's worst boss. This person doesn't appreciate you. They're constantly nitpicking the work you do. Sometimes they call you at home in the middle of the night to make you worried about something. They don't get you the training you need, and they're filled with negative talk. You have probably guessed that that person is you."
Godin exposes internal self-sabotage as the primary obstacle to career and business success, describing how people undermine themselves with negative self-talk, inadequate training, and fear-based thinking. He argues this internal boss is worse than any external authority and suggests finding supportive circles to change this dynamic.
