Do certain ‘self-help influencers’ ignore the fact that we are human?

Will embracing boredom help you realize what you really want from life?

Meet Tom, a YouTuber in the self-help space who wouldn’t describe himself as a self-help influencer. We discuss how to actually move the needle in your life without falling into the self-help pit of despair.

Tom shares his insights on the importance of making a conscious decision to change your life and explores strategies for overcoming ruts through the power of meditation, journaling, and identity transformation (disclaimer: you won’t find out how to change your identity).

We also explore the challenges of dopamine addiction, the value of habit formation, and how embracing boredom can fuel creativity and help clarify your true purpose. Tom critiques the NoFap movement, suggesting that self-improvement should focus on achieving happiness and life satisfaction holistically.

We finally conclude with the concept of Flâneur, where engaging in activities without a fixed purpose can be a source of joy and personal growth.

If you’re seeking personal growth (without the BS), this video will inspire and guide you on your journey toward self-discovery and lasting transformation.
